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! 

Fri to Fri rentals high-season, 2009 rates: low: 3500, mid: 4500 high-season: 5500 Euros/week. Off-season weekend rates: 1700 plus 400 Euros for extra night

Ref. CB 700 - El Turó

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!

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.

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.

up to 9 or so in 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a newly restored (2007) cozy little farmhouse at the end of a huge field and edge of a high-plateau, with incredible views of the Pyreness to the north.  This house offers few nice pluses, such a good outdoor dining BBQ area beside the cascading pool, and most impressive of all, a large partially shaded terrace out back from where you can comfortably sit and contemplate the views.  This houses is owned by Cal Rajoler owner, who I have been working with since 1998, so I know you will be in good hands with him. Feedback so far is very good!

Ref. CC 200 - El Turo

up 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.
