Owner profile

Year purchased: 2002
Why the owner chose a home in this location
The fascinating features near to us in this part of the Costa Brava (means Wild Coast) eg rice fields in the Ter Valley for the wonderful paella dishes, beautiful orchards, cork forests, medieval history of the Moors, sparkling coastal waters. We have a special love of out of season trips, though even in high season, you will not find Kiss-me-quick hats, English pubs, and fish and chips. Just real Catalan local stuff. Or take a trip north to Andorra for a day's skiing and enjoy fabulous scenery en-route. You are an hour or two's driving distance to explore Girona to the west, Perpignan to the north and Barcelona to the south.
Unique benefits of the property
At the villa, you will find every convenience, as this is our home as well as a holiday let. There is central heating for early or late bookings when we accept mid-week bookings to take advantage of cheap flights. So contact us for special discounts for out of season last minute bookings. Excellent local supermarkets open all year round. We only have one holiday home and this is it!
