Think of Venice, but with added palm trees and right in the middle of the Costa Brava, and you’ll be pretty close to Empuriabrava town. This traditional style home sits right on the edge of the canal – perfect for lazing away your days watching the little pleasure boats potter up and down. Inside, it's a typical Spanish vibe, with white walls and cool tiled floors, and plenty of character touches. We love the tiled staircase and the colourful kitchen that's guaranteed to put you in a good mood every morning. If you're a sun worshipper, head to the the south-facing upper terrace for breakfast, and in the evenings light the barbecue on the covered lower terrace and enjoy long, lazy meals late into the night. The beach at La Rubina is only a fifteen-minute walk away, and if you’re feeling brave, you can try your hand at water sports.
