Lovely traditional Catalan villa with 3 double bedrooms and a bright airy interior. This charming property is mostly furnished in old oak adding to the simple yet tasteful and comfortable feel of the villa. French windows lead onto a covered terrace with open views of rolling hills. The villa stands in a large plot of more than 900 sq.m. with a delightful garden over 2 terraces. The historic town of Begur, often described as the pearl of the Costa Brava, is within easy reach and the stunning sandy beaches of Sa Riera and Aiguablava are just a short drive away. The pretty villages and beautiful beaches of Tamariu, Llafranc and Calella (linked by a coastal path) are only 10-15 minutes away. Inland there is much to explore, including the medieval villages of Peratallada and Pals. Active visitors can choose locally from golf, diving, horse riding, walking and cycling. Children will enjoy the water park at Palamos.

The upper terrace was completely re-landscaped in summer 2007 and features a large lawned area and pretty borders making it ideal for sunbathing, playing and al fresco dining. Outdoor furniture and a barbeque are provided. The lower terrace (together with the area to the rear of the house) has been left in a natural state and is shaded by tall pine trees.
