easy reach of a wide range of shopping facilities, restaurants, tennis

recently acquired. The kitchen has refrigerator (with freezing

equipped for 5-6 persons, and the dining area for six. There is a 24hr
log burning stove, supplemented by electric radiators, for low and
mid-season visitors. The villa is surrounded by garden, to the front
colourful and behind, rough grass and trees. The pool is situated
within the terrace at the front of the villa with a high level of
privacy and superb views over wooded hills. There is a shaded barbecue
area and a west facing evening terrace. On-site parking is available

Location: midway between Palafrugell and San Feliu, three miles
inland, close to the small town of Calonge. The nearest beach is 3
miles away at Sant Antoni (see picture above). There is a wide
contrast of coast ranging from intimate coves to the fashionable
shopping resort of Playa d'Aro and the bustling fishing town of
Palamos, all within a fifteen minute range. Calella, Llafranc and
Aigua Blava are only a little further.
The region: close by there is a fast link road to the regional
motorways, giving access to Barcelona (1 hr) and Girona (45 mins).
There is a mainline station at Caldes (25 mins) with a frequent train
service to both cities. For golfers there is a wide choice including
the championship course at Caldes, and many less demanding courses
within half an hour. For walkers and skiers the foothills of the
Pyrenees are only an hour away with the resorts at about two hours.
