Luxury Villa with Private Pool
Large Private Gardens, 10 mins Drive to Beaches
Sleeps 8 (4 Bedrooms)
|
|
This luxury villa is set in a large, landscaped garden within an exclusive residential area. This unique area of the Costa Brava remains unspoilt and is characterised by the green rolling hillsides of the Gavarres covered in evergreen cork, olive and oak. There are magnificent beaches, sandy coves, historic coastal and inland villages to visit, all within easy driving distance. The local area also has beautiful coastal walks and countryside walking and cycling trails to enjoy. There are plenty of activities for young people, including all the usual water sports, plus cycling (there are two bikes at the villa), kayaking, snorkelling, horse riding, carting, quad-biking, and a large water park – all nearby. It’s also very easy to get to the wonderful cities of Barcelona and Perpignan for a day out by train or car, and the beautiful and historic towns of Girona, La Bisbal, Besalu, Cadaques and Figueres are even nearer.

Notes on accommodation
All the bedrooms are of generous size and have ample cupboard space, bedside tables and lamps. There is a baby cot in the apartment. There are also portable large fans to keep you cool when required, however, as the villa is very well insulated, with full double glazing, it is cool in Summer and warm in Winter so is ideal for year round visits. Included in the price is our 'meet and greet' service provided by Michel from EasyBrava who will show you round the property and explain how it all works. He is available throughout your stay to sort out any problems you may have. The garden is maintained by Paul and Nicole twice per month - but be warned they start early and can be noisy! The pool is maintained twice a week during high season by Paul and Nicole
Accessibility
Unfortunately the villa has not been specially adapted for wheelchair users, although the steps in the garden and the villa are not steep and so may still be suitable for older or infirm people. However, it is possible to access the downstairs apartment from the outside and this has all facilities (bedroom, bathroom and kitchen) on one level. We will be very happy to discuss this issue with you.
Outside
The garden is large, planted with palms, olive trees, shrubs, fruit trees, herbs and ground cover and also has a large area of grass lawn. It is landscaped with pathways and includes a games area for boules or badminton. It is gated and fully enclosed with secure parking for up to 3 cars.There is a large sun terrace ideal for barbecues, leading directly to the pool. Outdoor garden furniture, chairs, sun loungers and parasols are provided for use within the garden. The pool is 10m x 5m with wide steps leading from the sun terrace. The villa is on a prestigious residential development with easy access to walking trails in the surrounding hills. There are two bicycles at the villa for guest use, and more can be hired in St Antoni.
Coast/Beach
The long golden sandy beach of Sant Antoni is less than 10 minutes drive and there are many other beautiful coves and beaches close by (further information in folder in bookcase). The bustling fishing port, marina and tree-lined promenade at Palamos is also less than 10 minutes drive (fresh fish on sale here daily). The more cosmopolitan resort of Platja d’Aro is the same distance to the south. If you prefer smaller coves, there are plenty, try Castell, Calella, Llafranc and Tamariu.
Golf
If you’re a golfer, you can play from March to November. There are 8 first-class golf courses within easy reach of the villa, several of which are considered to be amongst the very best in Europe and 2 of which are within only 5kms of the villa (Santa Christina and Mas Nou with it’s spectacular views). All of them have excellent multi-lingual websites with diagrams, pictures and full descriptions of each hole and all the facilities. Please note that many of the courses require a proper dress code and sight of a handicap certificate.
Travel
Girona Airport is only 40 minutes drive away serviced by Ryanair. Barcelona Airport and Perpignan Airport are about 90 minutes drive. All the airports have most of the usual hire car companies at their terminals and although a car is not essential, we feel that you will get more out of your holiday if you have one. It is also possible to drive from the UK through France and can be done easily in two days (18 hours). Whichever way you travel, we will, of course, provide you with clear directions.
Distances
There are a great number and wide variety of places to visit, all within short driving distances of the villa. Here are just a few suggestions: Figueres 70km, Girona 40km, La Bisbal 25km, Banyoles 100km, Plas 10km, St Feliu de Guixols 10km, Platja d’Aro 8km, Palamos 8km. You can drive to the railway station at Caldes de Malavella (30km), leave your car free of charge, and catch a train to the centre of Barcelona. We’ll be happy to advise about this.
Further details
'The Bodega' bar and restaurant was a short walk down the hill, but sadly now closed. 2 very good restaurants 'La Jovita' and 'Can Tia' in Calonge itself. There are of course many other excellent restaurants within a short driving distance many of which are detailed in our book of restaurants in the villa. There are two good supermarkets in Calonge: Suma and Valvi and, if you don’t fancy cooking one night, Suma also has an excellent take-away cooked and salad food, as well as a rotisserie. The village of Calonge has all the normal butcher and baker shops, banks, pharmacy, medical centre, internet cafe and a very good weekly market on Thursdays (although we prefer the slightly larger market at Llagostera, also on a Thursday). Our agent Michel from Easybrava, will meet you when you arrive to show you around the villa and demonstrate how everything works.He will also be happy to help you out with any problems, questions or queries you might have during your stay. He will, of course, respect your privacy. We know how important it is to get your choice right. So, if you would like any further information, we will be very happy to help – maybe with more information about the villa itself? Or perhaps email you some more photos so that you can get a really clear picture? Or perhaps provide info about flights, airports, hire cars etc. Anyway, if you think we can help, please don’t hesitate to contact us – we’ll be delighted to help, without any obligation at all on your part.
