Coast/Beach
The beach at Playa de Pals is more than 6 miles in length and is the second longest sandy beach on the Costa Brava. A quiet spot can therefore always be had. It is just 1 km away and an easy walk, but there are many access points with adequate parking for those carrying extensive beach equipment. Quieter sections of this beach and a number of the coves to the south are given over to naturism. The coves of Aigua Freda, Sa Tuna and Aigua Blava are not to be missed.
Golf
The area is excellent for golf, with the Golf Course of Playa de Pals just 1km away. This is one of the most beautiful and prestigious golf courses in Spain. There are several courses within 20-30 minutes. Emporda Golf resort, with 36 holes and a swimming pool for non-golfers, Serres de Pals with terrace bar and restaurant. Golf Costa Brava at Santa Christina D’Aro (30 mins) has dramatic views and is testing in golf and physical terms with many climbs and descents. The best course, though a little further afield is the PGA Golf Club de Catalunya, a championship course but worth the trip. Located on the N11 between Girona and Barcelona at Caldes de Malavella (45 mins). We can also arrange tuition / guiding with a local UK PGA professional if required. The Internet connection provides an often essential link with home and office while away for a short golfing holiday.

Guest comments
We found the villa to be of a great standard even for three mums with children under the age of four stuck indoors for a couple of days! The house manager, Peter was of great help and was very friendly, prompt and had a wonderful knowledge base of the area which proved to be invaluable. You were easy to deal with and very flexible and accommodating - we had odd winter dates and hours etc. The house was presented really well; clean; tidy and had all the amenities one could need etc. We would def recommend you to friends and family in the future. J.M. 5.3.2006.
The villa complex of 6 or so well maintained houses was beautiful, clean and the villa spotless with all mod cons. The pool area was lovely and well kept by gardeners. Midweek in July was ideal as all other villas are owned by Barcelona weekenders, so we had the whole pool area to ourselves midweek. Lovely area, very picturesque, rugged coastline with pretty coves. Completely unspoillt and no sign of tourist invasion.
