Las Mimosas, a beautiful family owned villa with a large garden and private pool, is located in Las Tres Cales - a peaceful residential area of privately owned villas, of which about 60% are Spanish owned and occupied. The villa has 3 bedrooms, 2 toilets/bathroom, a living/dining room and a covered porch overlooking the garden and pool. The villa is centrally heated in the winter, there is a wood burning stove too, a real bonus for winter lets! It is only a short drive to the sea, where the tiny coves and sandy stretches of beach make this one of the most attractive and least developed coastlines in Spain. The villa is 4 km from the fishing port of L'Ametlla de Mar, there is also a small commercial area nearby with a supermarket, bar, restaurant, bakery and several other shops. In addition to the more obvious family attractions of the area, a holiday in Las Mimosas will definitely appeal to anyone with a passion for exploring authentic regional culture.

Coast/Beach
Cala Forn, our closest beach, is a 5 mins drive away (25 mins to walk). It is a Blue Flag small sandy cove.
Not far away you can find Platja de Sant Jordi, where the ruins of the castle Sant Jordi remain as a reminder of the times when pirates sailed this coast. Now the coast is good for swimming, diving, snorkelling and fishing.
There are many secluded sandy and pebbly beaches along this coastline, as well as marked walks (Try the walk along the cliffs towards L'Ametlla - about 3km).
Golf
There are 4 golf courses within Tarragona Province. The closest and most highly regarded is the championship golf course Bonmont Terres Noves (about 40 mins drive away). Bonmont, designed by Robert Trent Jones Junior, has spectacular views of the Mediterranean and the nearby mountains.

Special interest holidays
The villa is a 30 mins drive from the magnificent River Ebro, the site of some of the best fishing in Europe. Days out on the river can be arranged.

Fly to Barcelona-Reus (only 40 mins drive).
You can pick up some great deals with Ryanair into Barcelona-Reus, especially midweek.

Tarragona, the walled Roman city with an amphitheatre/attractive historic area, is 45 mins drive or train.
Port Aventura, the Great Universal Studios Theme Park, is widely considered to be the best and biggest in Europe. The park is 40km from the villa and can be easily reached by car or train.
Further details
Catalonia is a wonderful place to explore; it is rich in natural beauty and history. This region is famous for its wines, cava and olives. There are market towns, monasteries, lakes, rolling hills, distant mountains and typically Spanish villages untouched by tourism, fishing, a motor-cross track, castles and national parks.
L'Ametlla de Mar's history dates back to the 18th century. Now it is a working fishing village, & not surprisingly there are plenty of restaurants, many specialising in seafood & fish. L'Ametlla cannot be described as a clubbers resort, you may find a small club tucked away somewhere, but they are definately the exception to the rule. Visitors tend to have spent the day on the beach or exploring the area...looking for a relaxing meal.
Miravet - Picturesque village on the banks of the Ebro, reached by a traditional ferry. Miravet has a Templar Castle dating back to 1153 & quaint street cafes to sit & soak up the atmosphere.
The Ebro River, a fishermans paradise!This beautiful river, 40 minutes drive, is renowned for its fishing (carp, catfish, barbell, zander, roach, rudd & mullett) Fishing trips may be arranged.You can find hourly boat trips, riverside restaurants & flat bicyle trails.Follow the Ebro up through the mountains to delightful Spanish mountain villages & breathtaking scenery.
Deltebre is an area of National Park; the second largest European wetland with over 400 species of birds, miles of sandunes, windsurfing & a rich rice growing area.
Markets - there are local markets held throughout the week
Barcelona City of Culture, surely one of the most exciting modern European cities, a comfortable day out from the villa

Your home is really beautiful & ideally located. We had lots of fun in the pool & a couple of BBQs in the evenings. The whole area is very pretty & a taste of true Spain. We enjoyed the tapas from one of the many superb restaurants in the town square. Thank you for a really wonderful time.

Thank you for a super holiday. Your villa is really fantastic. What a change it made for us knowing that the children were safe at all times. We ventured out every day & found some wonderful beaches, all very different & all very beautiful in their own way.

Arrived late for a short break - awoke refreshed in a lovely house & had breakfast in a beautiful garden - what more could you want?!
