Overview
Nestled between the vibrant city of Girona and the breathtaking Costa Brava lies the picturesque Empordà, a region reminiscent of Tuscany. This idyllic corner of Catalonia offers the perfect blend of rural charm and proximity to lively towns, unspoilt fishing villages, and stunning beaches.
We discovered this delightful holiday home in one of the region's tranquil little villages. Despite being located within the village, the setting feels wonderfully peaceful, with a private outdoor space surrounded by agricultural land and charming traditional houses.
The nearest village with some amenities is just a 20 to 25 minute walk away or slightly longer if you opt for a scenic route.
This house is ideal for simple, relaxing holidays. Whether you prefer lounging on the sunbeds with a good book, grilling on the barbecue, or exploring the area on foot or by bike (the owners can provide bicycles on request!), everything here feels easy and unhurried. Thoughtful facilities, such as an electric car charging point, add to the convenience.
The property is well-suited for visits year-round. While the region is known for its moderate climate, the first floor features air conditioning units to ensure comfort during warmer days. According to the owner, the ground floor stays cool even in peak summer.
Inside, the décor strikes a balance between charm and comfort, making it feel like a true home away from home. Families with children will find this house particularly welcoming, though it's worth noting that the plunge pool is unfenced (it is slightly raised and not very deep), and the internal stairs to the first floor have larger gaps that might require supervision. However, we noticed a safety gate installed at the top of the stairs during our visit.
The property sleeps up to six guests, with three double rooms and one single. However, as one of the double beds is placed against the wall, it is more comfortable for one person. We recommend this house as a fantastic choice for four people but equipped to accommodate six. While it doesn’t offer the extensive facilities of a larger villa, such as numerous sun loungers, it does provide a couple for those sunny afternoons outdoors.
This property’s location is a highlight. It’s within easy reach of the Costa Brava's gorgeous beaches and the enchanting city of Girona. If you’re flying into Girona, the drive is quick and straightforward, and even Barcelona is just a manageable distance away.
This house is a wonderful base for those looking to experience the best of Catalonia’s rural charm with the option to explore vibrant towns and beaches.

YOUR REVIEWS
This accommodation was perfect for our family of two adults and two children. The outdoor space was a major highlight, with greenery, a pool, relaxing areas, and stunning views. The little treehouse where the kids could play was a fantastic bonus. We loved our stay! It was well-located for visiting the Costa Brava and very comfortable. Highly recommended to everyone!
