This Catalan villa stood out to us based on its fabulous outside space alone. With a large swimming pool, dining terrace, and garden, it's a great choice for groups of friends or family wanting a private home to sprawl out. The deck provides some lovely sea views, and there's free parking for up to four cars – we suggest hiring a vehicle to get the most out of your stay. Barcelona is a thirty-minute drive from the villa. Inside, it's bright and spacious, and there are five bathrooms so you won't have to queue for the shower. There's a double bunk-bed room that's ideal for younger families, although this room is not suitable for adults.

Home truths

    While the home can sleep up to twelve people, the maximum occupancy is eight adults. The double bunk-bed room is only suitable for younger children.

    While the fourth bedroom isn’t photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.

    Due to the location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There’s free parking for up to four cars on the driveway.

    If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot for free. You'll need to request it in advance.

    The swimming pool isn't fenced. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
