About this property

Incredible hillside villa, stunning views, sleeps 12, superb pool, tennis

Can Lledo is totally unique - modern, spacious and open-plan, yet this farmhouse conversion still retains many original features. It is nestled in the Gavarres hills, an area of outstanding natural beauty, with views down to the Costa Brava that really take your breath away. Within these hills, the house is set in 54 acres, with truly beautiful gardens, a stunning infinity swimming pool, tennis court, children a playground, treehouse and trampoline, indoor games room, and an abundance of natural forest paths to explore. We have a tree house on the path down to one of our fields, and this begins a walk which takes about an hour to explore the trails within our land.

The interior is sleek and modern and all rooms have been thoughtfully furnished. Upstairs are 4 large double bedrooms, 3 of which have incredible panoramic windows and 1 boasts a terrace and chairs for a little more 'me' time. There is room with 2 bunk beds, which is perfect for children, and a couple of fold-down beds and cots should you need more beds. There is another double bedroom downstairs with optional twin beds. All bedrooms have modern ensuite bathrooms.
Living space includes a large open-plan kitchen with all mod cons and a dining room that seats 12. There is a fully equipped utility room next to the kitchen. To make the most of the views, we have designed the house so that from the kitchen and dining room, you can look out of the enormous windows to take it in at all times.

A large yet cosy TV room adjoins the games room, and is the perfect place to chill out with a good dvd. The huge sofa can seat 10 people and there are bean bags and a rocking chair for extra relaxation. The games room is full of fun, with pool, a ping pong table, table football, and darts to get competitive.

The open-plan kitchen is centred around a big island, and opens onto an beautiful stone-arched outdoor eating area. The table seats 12, and is perfect for al fresco dining overlooking the pool. There is also a large chill-out sofa, swinging chair, and dining area below the pool, with stunning views and a built-in barbeque – perfect for evening cocktails and cooking. This gorgeous and spacious area is used for morning and evening yoga classes when retreats are run at the house.

Close to the house within our grounds, we have a tennis court with terrace and viewing platform, a tree house, a large wooden children’s playground, golf putting areas, and a large trampoline! As well as trails to hike around ☺

We have enclosed safe parking within the gated grounds of the house for at least 10 cars, and if you hire a 4x4 you can access all the many off road trails around the hills and land!

Website: Can Lledo has a private website giving further details of the house, the local area, things to do and further information about local amenities. At the time of booking, we can give you access to the website to help you plan your stay.

Activities: There are so many things to do in the area, although you may want to sit back and relax by the pool for the week at the house. We have a detailed information folder at the house listing everything there is to do in the area. Some examples of activities you can do are: kite surfing, windsurfing, fishing, sailing, diving, ballooning, golf cycling, cycling, horse riding, hiking, go karting, boat trips and kayaking.

Culture: There are many beautiful historic towns near Can Lledo and again we list all of these attractions on our website and also in our information folder. You might want to visit the stunning cathedral or walk the wall of the old town in Girona. You may want to drive for an hour south to Barcelona. There are various museums, the house and birth place of Salvador Dali, stunning beach coves and seaside towns such as Palafrugell, Sa Riera, Begur and Llafranc. Besalu bridge is worth a trip, as is Cadaques. The Pyrenees are breath taking on the drive from the airport up to Can Lledo, and only an hours drive away.

Extras: As well as our private website and information book with details and information on so many local attractions, we can also put you in touch with a number of people who might make your holiday more relaxing and special. Should you want to go out and leave the children, we have a great local babysitter; if you would like an evening of Catalan cuisine, we can organise a chef to come to the house; and if you feel like you need to unwind even further, we have a yoga teacher and massage therapists who can come to the house for individual classes and sessions.

Amazing week in Can Lledo
We rented this fabulous villa as a group of 11 (3 families) and cannot speak highly enough of the whole experience. Great communication in advance from the hosts. Arrival was super easy with a very warm welcome from Parker (and Simba!). Its a really special house and we felt at home straight away. Really spacious and well equipped. Amazing grounds and we all loved the pool, tennis court, tree house and just generally exploring the extensive grounds. The surrounding area is fascinating and we took trips to Girona, Figueres, Monells and to the beach of Sant Pol which was a big hit with the kids especially. Finished our stay off with a trip to Cadaqués to complete the Dali experience - well worth a visit. Thank you for letting is stay at your beautiful home - we hope very much to come back !!!

A Stunning home with stunning views
It is not often anywhere I go exceeds my expectations, ESPECIALLY with children... but Can Lledo did just that. It was the perfect getaway with (or would be amazing without) kids. I can’t think of the last time I was so relaxed and enjoyed myself... it was definitely before children. It was just that, it was an actual Getaway. The views were incredible, the food and cava were even better than I had anticipated. It is paradise. I stopped several times throughout my stay to just enjoy the view. Everything is absolutely stunning. Can Lledo is a fabulous house with enough space to really spread out if you needed. Great for entertaining or separating the adults from the kids. It’s an amazingly thought out home. I am not one to ever write a review, so this should explain just how marvellous Can Lledo is for any kind of holiday you are looking for. Photos can’t do it justice.

A luxury villa and grounds in stunning landscape
We, a family with a two-year old and a group of friends, had an absolutely wonderful week at Can Lledo. Things started well, when we discovered how close to Girona airport the house is - barely a 25-minute drive down empty roads. It made the journey from the door to door very quick and even if the tracks near the house are a bit bumpy, this is well worth it to drive into the heart of such stunning, wild, rugged, landscape. And Girona airport itself is so tiny that even a dawn flight home wasn't stressful, as there were no check-in queues. The villa itself has been lovingly and carefully designed and constructed, using really high quality materials and with a beautiful flow which means that lots of people can stay and have privacy in their own rooms and bathrooms, while also coming together in the communal spaces - kitchen, games room, pool, chill-out terrace - for convivial days and nights. Each bedroom has its own special feel, view and style of bathroom, and is equipped with properly comfortable mattresses and high quality bed linen. The water pressure and supply in the bathrooms is excellent, and the unobtrusive air conditioning was a life-saver on some of the stickier nights. We got a few mosquito bites in the evenings, but then we weren't religious about spraying ourselves, and I've had far worse in much less idyllic surroundings. Of course this place is more than just a beautiful house. It has a really good sized pool, in which you can swim lengths as well as just muck about, and a very well designed shallow stepped end which our toddler loved. The views from the pool are unbelievably beautiful, and the outdoor pre-pool shower even has a hot setting! There are lots of other bits to the estate to explore and enjoy, too. Down the hill from the house is a fantastic tree-house hidey-place, tennis court, trampoline, and wooded walks, which mean that you really could spend a good deal of your time here without needing to escape. We did make some day-trips to some lovely nearby medieval hill-towns and beaches, which were easy to get to and offered good eating and drinking. But really, you could dig in for a week here and not miss urban life at all. The whole place is beautifully maintained by the lovely groundsman Parker and his friendly, gentle dogs, and was unobtrusively and efficiently cleaned mid-week. We could not recommend this spot more highly for a relaxing, luxurious, tranquil and fun break for a family or extended group!

VERY DISAPPOINTING
We are two families who stayed at Can Lledo for a week in August 2018. The access to the villa is via a very steep downhill `dirt track` of around a car`s width and a kilometre long which was in a dreadful condition. Too many large rocks, `potholes`, uneven surfaces with a number of hairpin bends with sheer drops of hundreds of feet down the mountain on alternate sides. If we had been informed beforehand about this, we would either have not booked the villa or at least hired more suitable cars... like 4x4s with full insurance cover. As a result of this, we did not venture out in the evenings, not wishing to risk a return to the villa in the dark, although both drivers very experienced. There were other problems which spoiled two days out of the six days of our holiday. On the Wednesday we were told by the groundsman that maintenance workers were coming in the afternoon to `De-bug` the grounds. This meant we could not use the pool or the grounds/outdoor facilities for about four hours. On Friday (our last day) another team of gardeners arrived with power `hedge-trimmers`. The noise was deafening. We complained to the groundsman who advised the owners were arriving the next day and he had to get the villa ready for them. We of course were paying guests and we told him we felt he should have got workers in on the changeover day...Saturday. Another afternoon was spoiled. The owner had advised before our trip that the groundsman would be at the villa once each morning to check the pool and grounds. He actually was at the villa frequently three/four times a day and the owner did not mention until after we had paid for the rental that he would be accompanied by two huge dogs, one an Alsatian, the other an Alsatian/Husky cross. These followed him everywhere (including one day into our bedroom and en-suite when he was fixing a problem with the sink). Sometimes the dogs would venture into the villa on their own. Although these huge dogs were well behaved, they made a few of our party nervous. The property itself was very nice but the problems with the dirt-track and the maintenance crews spoiling two afternoons, prevented this holiday being exceptional, which we had hoped it would be.

About the host

Hosted by Nicola Hall

Host profile image
We are a married couple Nicola and Nicholas, both english, with 4 gorgeous boys between us, and a sausage dog. I grew up in London and Nicholas in Hampshire. I am a teacher and author, and Nicholas works in finance. We fell in love with the concept of the house and area when we first met 10 years ago, and I speak Spanish and Nicholas had experience in property design, and we took it from there! It was amazing seeing the old ruin turn into the stunning villa it is today, and we have loved adding on to it year after year... games, tennis court, terraced land, extending walking routes, building the chill out area, etc etc. We think the area is a unique and special secret too...the evergreen mixed with palm trees, the picture perfect nearby towns each centred around a church, the poppy or sunflower filled fields, the beaches that either stretch for miles of sand, or are tucked away coves with incredible restaurants. I could go on! But it really is an area of the world that has something very special about it. We love our house Can Lledo, and we love the area, and Catalunya, and hope you have a fabulous holiday here too.

Why they chose this property

The house has an incredible location, with extensive views over the hills down to the coast. It is nestled in the hills and feels a million miles from anywhere, and yet you can be in the local town in less than 15 minutes, and at the beach in 25 minutes. Once at the house it can be hard to leave though..there is so much to do there whether you want to stay by the pool all day, play tennis, hike around the land, enjoy the indoor games room, trampoline with the children, play boules or badminton, or just chill with a glass of wine and watch the world go by - all be it butterflies and birds! The sense of peace you feel when you arrive at the house is so rare to find in life (especially for us as Londoners) and you really can feel your whole body relax. The sunrises will blow you away, and the sun sets behind the house, so you don't get the glorious reds pinks and purples of the dawn, but the twinkly lights of the coast provide a picturesque end to the day.

What makes this property unique

We have designed the house to retain its original farmhouse exterior and features, and yet made it open plan, modern and spacious. Using large windows was seen as am impractical thing to do as traditional 'masias' are built with small windows to retain heat in the winter, and keep the house cool in the summer. Yet with views like that we knew we had to maximise the opportunity to see them! So that element adds to the wonderful feel of the house - wherever you are inside, you can see the hills. Unless you're in the TV room, which we designed to be cosy, cool, and away from the sunlight!
The design of the swimming pool, and its position, again allows you to fully maximise those incredible views, with an infinity pool feel, and decking.

The house and land feels very spacious, and the children can be playing in the games room, without disturbing the adults outside...or a group on the tennis court while another group sits by the pool... or you can all be together! Each bedroom is uniquely decorated, and has its own feel. All 6 bedrooms have an ensuite bathroom, which means that you never feel on top of each other, and have your own privacy.
