Ref. CB 200 - Can Tapies

sleeps up to 25 or so guests in 12 bedrooms, 9 full bathrooms + 3 wcs, Can Tapies is on the same 15 hectaire property as Mas Dalt, and is another 1100m2 baronial stone mansion consisting of three fully equipped and independent apartments.  One apartment has 5 en suite bedrooms, another flat has 3 en suite bedrooms, and the third flat has 4 bedrooms sharing a bathroom.  It is very important to stress here that these are not 3 apartments crammed into a normal farmhouse. Each apartment is very generously proportioned, with fully equipped kitchen, living/dining room, private terraces, etc, each apartment set well apart from the other. There is a 100m2 common room with billiard, ping pong, and babyfoot. The new 12x5m swimming pool is set on a terrace just below the house, with a football pitch with goalposts, and the views throughout are great!  Excellent for larger groups but priced for normal groups who might just want a little extra space!

Ref. CB 300 - Can Cunill

up to 20 or so in 10 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, 8 rooms air-conditioned. Located 20 kms south of Girona, one hour from Barcelona, a safe 20 kms inland from Lloret de Mar and the other (better) southern Costa Brava resorts. This is a huge "luxury" estate (sorry for using the often abused "L" word - I usually don´t - but in many ways this one deserves it!) originally dates from 1583, has 8,000m2 of private gardens (tended by a full-time gardener), two large swimming pools, and a magnificent poolside dining area and seating for over 50 guests (outdoor kitchen and bathrooms too). This is the kind of villa you might see on TV. Even if you can't afford to stay here - and if you can you probably should - you might like to take a quick look at this one just for the fun of it. I've seen lesser villas going for twice the price!

Ref. CB 400 - Cal Arnau

up to 20 or so in 9 rooms and 6 bathrooms, this massive 1200m2 house on a beautiful 5 hectaire private riverside property is located just 8 kms north of Girona, and offers very spacious comfort and a good-sized fenced-in 10 x 6m swimming pool in a central location in the very heart of the Costa Brava.  The scale of the place is huge but by no means overwhelming, and the place feels is just about right - tastefully done by its Catalan-UK owners, comfy, not frilly or ostentatious.  A solid house and a solid choice!

Ref. CB 500 - Casanova de Ferrando

up to 20 in 9 rooms and 10 bathrooms!   this villa offers lots of space and lots of bedrooms each with private bathroom for very little money.  With a beautifully landscaped garden (the owner´s own a garden center) situated just 1km from a small agricultural village 8 kms south of Girona and 15 kms to beaches. This villa is proving to be very popular with those in need of a big house, with a big 12 x 6m swimming pool, sauna and jacuzzi, a fantastic garden... and plenty of bathrooms.  Very near the major bike routes and 1.5km from train so very popular with groups of cyclists, curiously enough!  Impeccable, excellent feedback.... book early.

Sat to Sat rentals high-season, 2009 rates: low: 2100, mid: 2750 high-season: 3200 Euros/week. Off-season weekend 1080 Euros plus 375 extra night.

Ref. CB 600 - Can Brugues

up to 18 or so in 9 rooms, 7 bathrooms, a large house on the edge of town divided into 3 independent and separate duplex apartments, each with separate entrance, a kitchen, living room, etc... The idea is that three or four families can share the villa and be together (in the large living and dining rooms in the main part of the house and the outdoor sitting areas and pool) but otherwise each family has its own private living quarters. Situated on the edge of Sils - so a few minutes walk to bakery, shops, restaurants - and 2 kms to commuter train into Barcelona (50 minute ride) - about 17 kms south of Girona and 15 kms inland from Lloret de Mar and the southern Costa Brava beaches. Well planned out, with a good-sized swimming pool with cascade, nice views, and a nice little garden with outdoor BBQ and sitting areas, parking, etc.  Can Brugues has a lot going for it!

Ref. CB 700 - El TurĂł

up to 20 or so guests in 9 rooms, 11 bathrooms, this is no doubt the house with the greatest WOW-factor in my website.  Although not really on the Costa Brava (it is 40 kms due north of Barcelona, 2 kms from the pleasant village of Castellterçol, this new property deserves to be seen so I have decided to put it into both the Costa Brava listings and the Barcelona area listings, where it really belongs. This is a massive luxury (again, the L word is justified) mansion on a private 10 hectaire hilltop property in the middle of a natural park reserve, with indoor and outdoor swimming pools, and great views of the Pyrenees. The location and the grounds are tops, but what really sets this house apart is the very high quality of its interiors. Not inexpensive but do take a look at what a high-quality Catalan masia looks like!

Fri to Fri rentals in high-season; 2009 rates: low: 5900, mid: (19/6 to 24/7) 7050 Euros/week, high-season: (24/7-21/8) 7950 Euros/week. Off-season weekend rates 2000 plus 550 Euros per extra night.

Ref. CB 800 - Casa Sant Juan

sleeps 17 or so in two different houses on the same large property, with 9 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms (2 of these outdoors).  Set on a large private 35 hectaire fenced property under pines, 30 kms north of Barcelona, 12 kms inland from the beaches around Mataro.  The larger 5 bedroom house (225m2) is brand new and quite elegant, all air conditioned and with quality furnishings, while the other 4 bedroom house (100m2) is rather simple, and I have been offering this older house for years now, so the owners have a proven track record.  Each house has its own outdoor BBQ dining area, and there is a nice 10x6 meter swimming pool.  Priced for the two houses rented together only from 15/7 to 23/8, you can pick and choose from the two houses according to your needs (and budget) the rest of the year.  Highly recommended, for small and larger groups alike, who wish to be in a nice quiet location, but not far from Barcelona and the sea.

Sat to Sat rentals in high-season, 2009 rental rates for both houses, low: 1500, mid: 2250, high-season: 3000 Euros/week (the two houses are never rented separately). Off-season weekend rates: 900 Euros plus 250 Euros extra night.

up to 12 or so in 6 rooms, 3 bathrooms, this 170m2 villa is in a beautiful location outside of Orfes, 4 km from Bascarà and the main roads between Figueres and Girona. I´ve been working with this house since 1999 (see the Comments Page) and this is undoubtedly one of the most solid properties (in terms of price/quality/comfort) in our listings. This area is just plain gorgeous, situated in the lush hills between the northern Costa Brava and the must-see lake Banyoles. The garden has a mix of palms and pines, with a 9m x 5m swimming pool and plenty of lawn space. Not a huge house but very comfy and gets booked up early!

up to 12 in 6 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, former Benedictine priory with a lovely chapel, La Torre de San Bartolomeu is a high-quality, English-owned rental property set on a 5 acre private property with great views between the Olympic lake at Banyoles and historic BesalĂş.  Recently renovated (2001) to a high standard of comfort, with atmospheric en suite rooms with private terrace, a good-sized 12 x 6 meter heated swimming pool and English-speaking local caretakers and gardener.  Not a cheap place to spend a week but some places are worth splurging for.  Even if you don´t stay here, you might want to take a look at the photos.  They are very attractive.

Ref. CB 1600 - Casadevall villa

up to 12 or so in 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, Casadevall is a notable exception from the usual sort of rustic farmhouse property we normally offer. This is the modern 350m2 house of an architect, situated in a 10 hectaire private fenced-in property of mostly Mediterranean pine and cork oak, just outside of the town of Sils, 55 minutes north of Barcelona by car or by commuter train, a 1km or 15-minute walk through fields from the house. Built some 15 years ago, this designer house has 6 bedrooms (2 en suite) and a total of four bathrooms plus one wc, along with a sauna and an exercise room with weights and nautilus machines ...  But by far the nicest part of this villa is the large and quite deep triangular swimming pool and the outdoor covered BBQ dining area and porch. It is probably one of the nicest outdoors of any of the houses I offer, and I imagine most guests will spend all their time out here.

Ref. CB 1800 - Can Girones

up to 10 or so in 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, a beautifully restored old farmhouse in an unbeatable location, just off the greens of the new PGA golf course at Caldes de Malavella.  This is a great location, 12 kms south of Girona town, 15 kms inland from the middle Costa Brava beaches, and with the lush greens of the golf course in front of the house and the well-kept pine and cork forest just behind the house.  Aside from the  comfortable and attractive interior, including 2 living rooms and a separate dining room and kitchen, there is a lovely Japanese-inspired landscaped garden and a private fenced-in swimming pool.  I have stayed here myself twice and I am very enthusiastic about this new house, which is 4 kms to the commuter train in Caldes to Barcelona (every half hour, 1 hour ride) and just 1 hour's drive from Barcelona on the fast AP-7 highway.  Good feedback and good price-quality relationship.  Recommended.

Ref. CB 2100 - Casa Palau

up to 10 maximum guests in 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms,  for me, this house is undoubtedly, meter for square meter, one of the nicest houses in these listings. Perched just above Agullana, a prosperous village with a large Romanesque church and some good art-nouveau buildings, Casa Palau is surrounded by the owners vineyards and olive groves, offering wide panoramic views of hilly Albera range, where the mighty Pyrennes finally tumble into the Mediterranean at Cap de Creus. The house is beautiful and comfortable in equal measure, and now with the new fenced-in salt water 9x4m swimming pool, I think you would be hard pressed to find a nicer house or location on either side of the nearby French-Spanish border.  I don´t usually gush but this is a real gem.

Since adding Casa Aloe to our listings in 2002, it has consistently been one of our most successful properties, breaking all records for occupancy. Why?  Situated in a leafy residencial village overlooking a quality golf course (Vallromanes Golf, with green fees) just 25 minutes north of Barcelona and a short (12km) drive from the beaches fronting the attractive coastal wine-growing town of Alella, this elegant and very spacious (300m2) villa, with a private garden and swimming pool and sauna (pool maintained year-round!) has exactly what many of you are looking for, and at the right price! Perfectly situated near main roads for easy exploration of both Barcelona and the Costa Brava, and walking distance to village.

Ref. CC 700 - La Barraca

up to 16 guests, 6 rooms, 3 baths, this old renovated farmhouse is situated just outside of Casserres (1.5km) on a huge hillside private farm with a well-kept pine forest . As you will see in the photos, this is a beautifully decorated house, and recently renovated to a high standard of comfort, with some nice extras like the separate building housing a 60m2 play area for kids. The owners have put in a new fenced-in swimming pool measuring 4.5 x 9 meters and there is lots of lawnspace. Until recently, this house was offered in exclusivity (and for double the price) in the catalogue of a well-known, up-market English rental agency. I´m very happy to be offering this villa at its normal, far more competitive rates.

Ref. CC 1000 - La Rovira

up to 14 or so guests, 6 bedrooms, 3 baths, truly a magnificent farmhouse! originally dating from 1238, the house was last "modified" to its current dimensions in 1765. Spacious (over 400m2 on three floors), well furnished, on a large private property, this is undoubtedly, meter by meter, one of the nicest houses I've seen. Now with a new (2007) large 10x6 meter fenced in swimming pool and covered outdoor BBQ dining area, and only 350 meters walk from the owner´s son´s one-star Michelin rated restaurant, this house offers an excellent price-quality relationship, especially considering the size of the pool!

Ref. CC 1100 - Casamira

up to 17 guests, 7 rooms, 4 baths, another of those old farmhouses with lots of character that I like so much, Casamira is a very good deal in terms of price-quality. The situation is good: just 1.5kms from Gironella market town, the house is comfortable with decent-sized rooms far apart, the views excellent, the front lawn with the 8 x 4.5 meter unfenced swimming pool is just right (I hate fenced pools!) and there is a covered BBQ outdoor sitting area around to the back, and a ping-pong room one terrace down.  The house has recently been renovated and the description and photos in my website are no longer a true representation of this house. I will remedy this asap (but have to go see it first).  One week bookings welcome in high-season.

up to 13 or so, 6 rooms, 3 baths, is in a very pleasant setting with dramatic panoramic views. It is also a house that probably has the nicest lawn area and pool of any in this area listing, as you can see from the photos. At 12 x 6 meters, the unfenced swimming pool is larger than usual, in part because it is shared with the very pleasant owners who live in the huge mansion next door. There is a nice vegetable patch which you are welcome to take fresh produce from, and a very handsome new outdoor BBQ dinning are.. Oh, and I should mention that this house is good for young and old alike in that the entire living quarters ia on one level (no stairs) and you can see the pool from the house.

Ref. CBM 100 - Capsec de la Vila

Capsec de la Vila: Sleeps up to 12. A large independent restored farmhouse situated near the owners huge baronial mansion, overlooking the amazing new pool they put in in 2004. Its six bedrooms and three baths are distributed over two floors and a total of about 160m2. In front of the house is a wide lawn with a barbecue and two outdoor seating areas next to the picturesque remnants of a ruined barn. The lovely unspoilt countryside, and yes, there is a stream running through the property...,  the good selection of local restaurants, and the numerous stone villages and Romanesque churches make the Bianya Valley one of Catalonia's premiere mountain retreats. And if that weren´t enough, the unique and award-winning designer swimming pool the owners recently put in (measuring 6 by 15 meters) will make Capsec that much more attractive. Book early as it fills up for summer quickly.

El MolĂ­ de la Vila: sleeps up to 7 in 3 rooms, each with private bath. This is a house I escape to often!  Along with El Capsec, El MolĂ­ is one of two rental properties on a magnificent estate in the pre-Pyrenean Valley of la Bianya. Set far apart from the other houses, El MolĂ­ is a beautifully restored ancient millhouse straddling a stream and backed by a deep reservoir of fresh spring water where you can swim (but most of you will want to walk the 250 meters or so down to use the owners award-winning designer swimming pool).  The living quarters are somewhat small (except for the spacious master bedroom upstairs) but cozy and very atmospheric, with interior doors and floors and stairways are fashioned almost entirely of stained cherrywood and anchored into the stone walls on heavy wooden beams. I love this house but some guests have complained that it is just a bit too rustic. It is a house for romantic nature-lovers, so diehard city-slickers should refrain. See photos of the fancy new shared pool in the page for Capsec de la Vila.

Pristine medieval villages, gorgeous farmhouses, pine and beech forests, and lush farmlands fill in the contours between the cones of this Volcanic Natural Park. A veritable hiker´s paradise. The house itself is comfortable without being big or fancy or pricey. But the location and views are priceless.

This rustic farmhouse is nestled astride a large cow pasture at the bottom of a deep valley, at 800 meters above sea-level. The nearest house is three kilometers away, the nearest village, at four kilometers. The sound of cowbells and rushing water from the trout-filled stream nearby fill the cool mountain air. A delightful place to commune with nature. The owners have just put in a small swimming pool (measuring 3 by 6 meters and not very deep) mostly for the kiddies, and in the summer months, you have free access to a pool 3.5 kms away in the town of Sant Pau de Seguries, and there is a stream of clean and cold mountain spring water just on the other side of the pasture, with wading pools year-round.

Can Sort is a gorgeous 10-room B&B on a large property which also offers horseback riding.

Why?  Situated in a leafy residencial village overlooking a quality golf course (Vallromanes Golf, with green fees) just 25 minutes north of Barcelona and a short (10km) drive from the beaches fronting the attractive coastal wine-growing town of Alella, this elegant and very spacious (300m2) villa, with a private garden and swimming pool and sauna (pool maintained year-round!) has exactly what many of you are looking for, and at the right price! Perfectly situated near main roads for easy exploration of both Barcelona and the Costa Brava, and walking distance to village.
