Situated in Palafolls, this villa boasts its own private pool and shaded terrace with plenty of space for alfresco dining. While some of the home's decor feels a little dated, the waterfront and the mountains provide some wonderful views from the outdoor space. The area is family-friendly, with a water park, a golf course, and various fantastic restaurants nearby. We do recommend having a car here, though – if you're not spending a day in Costa Brava or Barcelona, the town of Santa Susanna is just 4.7km away, with its golden sandy beaches.

Home truths:
*There is space to park for free outside this home for up to two vehicles. Due to the location, we recommend hiring a car to make the most of your stay.
*There are only three bathrooms here, which might be worth noting if you're travelling in a group of ten or more.
*All bedrooms are upstairs here, and climbing stairs will be required at this home. This may not be suitable for everyone.
*The traditional decor of this home won't be for everyone. We think it feels a little dated in parts.
*Groups of young people under the age of 25 aren't permitted at this home.
*The pool here is unfenced, so children should always be supervised when playing outside.
