This charming villa in the picturesque fishing village of Calella de Palafrugell is a rare find. Situated in a residential area just 450m from the pretty beach of Platja Canadell, this home is a great spot on the Costa Brava coastline. Though the house feels a little dated in parts, it offers a comfortable space to unwind when the midday Mediterranean sun reaches its peak – then again, there’s the outdoor pool to cool off in too. Make the most of the built-in barbecue and dine alfresco or walk the coastal path to Llafranc for a memorable meal along the seafront.

Home truths:
*We recommend hiring a car to explore the surrounding areas, though you can reach the sands of Platja Canadell within 450m. There's parking at this home.
*There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the bedrooms in this home.
*The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.
*The singles in the bedrooms may be reconfigured into doubles.
*The swimming pool isn't fenced. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
*Should you need to work from home during your stay, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace.
