The Costa Brava - the 'wild coast' - is where Catalonia's pine forested hillsides meet rugged cliffs interspersed with bays of golden sand. Despite its name, the Costa Brava is sheltered by the Pyrenees and enjoys a sunny climate - the sandy beaches and friendly resorts are perfect for family Spanish villa holidays. The region has so much to offer - culture-lovers will want to see Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia, as well as numerous historical sites, ancient villages, museums and art galleries. Sports enthusiasts can enjoy windsurfing, sailing, diving, horse riding, tennis and golf, while other visitors will be looking to take it easy and enjoy the local Catalan cuisine and top quality regional wines. Our quality villas in Costa Brava offer an ideal base for exploring all the possibilities of this fascinating and beautiful region.

When holidaying at one of our villas to rent in the Costa Brava, you will find that transportation is reliable, convenient, and good value, from our villas to and from the airport or for a night out.

The coves and beaches of Aigua Blava are some of the prettiest in Spain. This is a densely wooded area with high quality property developments and some of the most exclusive villas in Costa Brava. Beachside restaurants are excellent, offering locally caught fish as their speciality.

Below the hill town of Begur, tucked away in the many hidden coves of the Costa Brava, lie the picturesque fishing villages of Aigua Freda, Sa Riera and Sa Tuna, with excellent beaches for sun worshippers and crystal clear waters for bathing. Close by are shops where you can buy local handicrafts, and good restaurants serving local specialities, often the day's catch.

 Nestling between the Gavarres hills and the beautiful coastline lies the hilltop town of Begur. The town is marked with a medieval castle and is full of colonial style houses and old fishermen's huts. Our clients choose villas in Begur in order to soak up the historic culture or to engage in activities available nearby including hiking, cycling or simply a relaxed stroll through the cobbled streets. Begur offers a wide range of restaurants serving their traditional coastal cuisine of 'sea and land' dishes and Platillos. The neighbouring town of Pals is another medieval hilltop town full of culture and activites to suit all tastes.

Casa de Campo is a select development just a few kilometres from Palafrugell, one of the region's larger towns. A genuine Catalonian atmosphere prevails in the Palafrugell area with traditional music and dancing in the central square, and a regional market that seems to take over the town on Sundays. A short distance out towards the coast takes you to Calella de Palafrugell, one of the most sought after areas of the Costa Brava. It is a popular resort for locals and holidaymakers alike, with a number of small coves and sandy beaches lapped by crystal clear waters. The resort has a wide selection of bars and restaurants along the beach front. Tucked into the next bay is Llafranc, a beautiful half moon sandy bay with a bustling marina. Whilst here try a 'cremat' - a typical tropical drink of the fishing villages of this region.

La Bisbal is a medieval market town famous for its many pottery shops which line the streets. Every Friday there is a street market selling all kinds of local produce. The waters around this area are considered to be among the best on the coast and there are many beautiful beaches within easy reach.

Sant Feliu has a strong maritime tradition evident in its fishing port, and a surprising historical heritage with monuments dating back to the 12th century. But nowadays the town is also known as a thriving commercial and tourist centre, offering a multitude of entertainment, sporting activities and facilities. A wide range of bars and restaurants are available, with freshly caught fish often the speciality.
