Costa Brava villas
Ref. CB 100 - Mas Daltsleeps up to 34 or so in 17 bedrooms, 15 bathrooms, this enormous baronial mansion (1200m2 on a 15 hectaire private property) occupies a priviledged hillside position just above the historic lakeside town of Banyoles, with majestic views over the coastal plain of the central Costa Brava. There are three distinct and fully equipped living quarters, each with full kitchen, living room, dining room, in two separate buildings: just above the pool is a newly restored two-storey house with 4 en suite bedrooms plus 2 WCs and surrounded by a very large and handsome terrace (seating 60!) with magnificent views. The huge main house is divided into two parts, the ground floor under vaulted ceilings has 3 en suite bedrooms, and upstairs there are 10 bedrooms, (3 rooms en suite and 7 rooms sharing 5 baths) as well as the huge kitchen, 100m2 living, 70m2 dining room, etc. Fronting the house is the lawn with football goalposts, the new 12x5m swimming pool. Behind the house is natural parkland forest. 1 km walk from Mas Dalt is Can Tapies - see next house. Sometimes the two are rented together for large gatherings. Friday to Friday rentals in mid and high-season, 2009 rental rates: low-season: 4060, mid-season: 4750, high-season: 6270 Euros/week. Low-season weekend rates: 2210 Euros plus 600 Euros per extra night.

Ref. CB 200 - Can Tapiessleeps 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 Cunillup 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! Saturday to Saturday in mid and high-season, 2009 rental rates: low-season: 2420, mid-season: 4035, high-season: 5520 Euros/week.

Ref.

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! Fri to Fri rentals high-season, 2009 rates: low: 3500, mid: 4500 high-season: 5500 Euros/week.

Ref. CB 600 - Can Bruguesup 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 Turóup 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!

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.

Ref. CC 200 - El Turoup to 19 or so in 9 bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, is probably the most impressive-looking house in my entire listings. Situated 40 kms due north of Barcelona, 2 kms from the handsome village of Castellterçol, El Turó is a newly refurbished luxury 9-bedroom mansion on a 10 hectaire hilltop property in the middle of parklands, with indoor and outdoor swimming pools, incredible architecture, and great views. The secluded location and the grounds are tip-top, but what really sets this house apart is the high quality of its interiors. Even if El Turó isn´t within your budget, take a moment take a look at this gorgeous Catalan masia.

Situated in a huge property with great panoramic views (I counted 4 mountain ranges), a nice fenced-in 8x5m swimming pool, indoor play rooms with ping-pong, and lots more.

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.

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.

Along with El Capsec, El Molà 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 Molà 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.

Ref. BB 200 - Can SortCan Sort is a gorgeous 10-room B&B on a large property which also offers horseback riding.
