This enchanting, well-equipped & spacious four-bedroom detached house, with its own garden, is quietly situated yet only a short walk from sandy beach, shops, restaurants and bars of the resort of Playa de Pals in the most beautiful part of the Costa Brava. With several beaches, fantastic snorkelling, golf and local medieval towns nearby, there is something for everyone. The villa is built in the Catalan style, and is equipped throughout to a high standard. It sleeps 8 comfortably and has space to relax, within the house, on the large covered terrace, or on the lawn in its garden. It has a pleasant view and overlooks the gardens and pool of the Sa Punta restaurant, rated one of the finest in the region. The house is surrounded by scented pines and the immediate vicinity comprises an abundance of green in which there are other detached houses set off quiet roads with little traffic. The area: Playa de Pals is a small resort set in the most beautiful part of the Costa Brava between Barcelona and the French border. It is mainly composed of villas set around a village centre, in which can be found the typical facilities of a beach resort. The beach is sandy and extends for a considerable distance. Within easy reach of the house, there are several small fishing villages with sheltered coves and, in a week, one can easily swim at a different beach every day. There are two magnificent golf courses, and all sorts of water sports are available. 3km offshore are the Islas Medas where there is an underwater nature reserve, well worth a visit (there are organised trips in glass-bottomed boats, scuba-diving expeditions, or you can hire your own craft and go snorkelling). Wining and dining: Playa de Pals and the surrounding area have a great variety of restaurants offering Catalan, Spanish and French cooking. These range from cheap family restaurants to the exquisite Sa Punta, and are mostly really worth a visit (or two). We leave our own guide to these in the house, the result of many years of serious scientific research! ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the villa: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Stereo - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - Up to 10 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - No lift (single-level property) - Wheelchair-accessible path of travel - Designated smoking areas ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the sea ### Things to do - Bicycles - Boat - Golf - Tennis - Water park - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - No smoke detector (host has indicated there is no smoke detector on the property) ### General - Bicycles - Garden - Property located in a resort - Unit size: 1,292 square feet ## Similar properties ![Beach nearby, sun-loungers](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/19000000/18790000/18789400/18789395/96d48459.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Spacious Villa with Pool, Jacuzzi, Stunningly Situated on the Med Begur - Sea view - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen 9.6 Exceptional 57 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-09&endDate=2025-10-10&selected=18789395&PinnedHotelID=18789395&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![On the beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/36000000/35890000/35881400/35881340/832ee908.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### CHARMING HOUSE FOR RENT - BEGUR 4 bedrooms (8/9 People) Begur - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly 9.2 Wonderful 9 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-09&endDate=2025-10-10&selected=35881340&PinnedHotelID=35881340&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33600000/33599800/33599750/2275e360.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Contemporary house with a splendid sea view and fiber Begur - Sea view - Pool - Kitchen - Washer 9.8 Exceptional 98 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-09&endDate=2025-10-10&selected=33599750&PinnedHotelID=33599750&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/67000000/66960000/66955600/66955532/2830a974.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Air conditioned 4 Bedroom, 4 Bathroom villa.

Stayed 8 nights in Apr 2023 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 25 Jan 2009 #### Wonderful holidays Our family has had a number of most enjoyable holidays at the villa, which, with the surrounding area, has remained unspoilt over the years. We have many happy memories of all the different beaches to choose from; Platja de Pals the nearest, but also Sa Riera, Calella, Llafranch and Sa Tuna and all the places to see roundabout. The villa itself is charming, with local shops within easy reach where we have bought our croissants for breakfast, obtained cash from the ATM and bought souvenirs to take home. When we've felt like spoiling ourselves, we wandered down to the Sa Punta Restaurant, three or four minutes away, for a first class meal and a swim in their pool, which you can see over the road from the villa. There are wonderful markets to be visited in Torroella and Palafrugell and local towns and villages such as Pals, Peratallada and Begur to be explored. This is a truly wonderful base from which to discover or revisit this part of the Costa Brava. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nadia H. 30 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place, great time!

The following list is what we consider problematic: 1/ On arrival all the patio furniture was piled into the living space, it was very dirty and all had to be washed, and the patio swept. 2/ We bought a pizza as a quick supper when we arrived, the oven was filthy and smoked as it heated up. 3/ There wasn't a light in the bathroom so a small bedside lamp was plugged in. Later in the week the bulb blew and we couldn't find any spare bulbs . 4/ The kettle spout is rusty. 5/ All surfaces were dirty and had to be cleaned. 6/ There was a half empty vase of water with dead leaves lying around its base. 7/ We had to pay for bedding and towels. The bedding needs replacing it is very old and unappealing. 8/ Floors were sticky and in need of a good wash. 9/We were provided with one tea towel and no hand towels, no kitchen towel, no bin bags and about half a toilet roll. 10/ On the villa description it states that there is no wifi so I didn't take my iPad and purchased a Portable DVD player for £50. On arrival we discovered that there is wifi, rather annoying. 11/ Mattresses are worn and uncomfortable. This the first time I have ever felt cause to complain about accommodation. For a small investment this could be a very nice property. This is a beautiful part of Spain and I have visited it many times but sorry to say that I wouldn't stay at this villa again. ##### Gail R. ### 8/10 Good #### Anouck M. 27 Apr 2019 #### Très bien Maison très agréable et très bien située. ##### Anouck M.

We have arrived at the Villa and were nicely surprised with a bottle of Champlain waiting for our us. Everything was as described, and Frank has put a lot of effort for preparing detailed local guidance. In walking distance you have got access to beaches, amazing cliffs (some of them that you can go on) and crystal clear water. We came after season where most restaurants and shops were closed, however within 10 minutes drive you get local supermarket with almost everything you need. Weather was still great at 22-24 Celsius and nights about 14-16. Perfect for me. I strongly recommend it for anyone who is looking for affordable yet very well equipped Villa. Costa Brava is amazing place to go. ##### Adam B. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elodie C. 4 Sept 2018 #### Excellent séjour !!

We have just come back from what I would call one of the best holidays I have ever had. Being September we weren't entirely sure what the weather would be like but it was absolutely beautiful- we were lucky enough to venture to all the surrounding beaches and have a casual drink in the sun. The villa was lovely- real character and cosy beds. The bbq was fab- burgers, kebabs, fish- we all agreed it was one of the best bbqs we've had. Unfortunately being out of season not all of the shops were open but the bars and restaurants down at the local beach were fantastic and very friendly staff! All in all one of the most relaxing and fantastic holidays I have had. Would definitely recommend! Thanks again! x ##### Clare L.

Sitting outside in the evening with the built-in BBQ sizzling away with freshly-caught tuna steaks and sipping the local Cava, listening to the buzzing of the circadas was a wonderful way to leave behind the rigors of UK life. The house is simple but clean, amply spacious and comfortable and in great position for walking down to the local beach and excellent beach restaurant, one of many terrific eating places in the area. There are lovely walks along the coast, many great beaches and little coves in easy reach. The wine festival at Pals was a definite plus this year with lots of laughter and quaffing. A lovely place to come back to again and again. ##### Charles T. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charles T. 24 Dec 2011 #### One of the lovely places! Getting away this summer, this was a lovely place to rest, relax and blow away the cobwebs. Sitting outside in the late evening, with the built in BBQ blasting away with fresh tuna steaks balanced by the local Cava, listening to the cicadas buzzing away in the background, you were able to leave behind riots and work in the UK! I found the property to be simple but clean and straighforward, comfortable and well equipped. The area is fantastic with great walks along the coast, good restaurants all over the place and great swimming on the many local beaches. The Pals wine festival was a big plus with much laughter and quaffing. Having been in the area before even as late as the last week of October, it is somewhere I would keep coming back to anytime. ##### Charles T.

Our primary complaint is with the bedrooms - the beds were extremely uncomfortable with poor quality bed linen resulting in none of us getting a good sleep over the week. The most comfortable place was the sofa in the living room! Additionally the twin bedroom where my daughters stayed was damp, resulting in one getting a chest infection requiring a doctor's visit and medication; the other got a head cold. Initially we thought the room just needed airing, but then we found that their clothes were also slightly damp. On the plus side, the villa is well equipped with games, books and good information provided by the owners. The patio area is also well equipped with garden furniture. The photos provided make the villa look more luxurious than it is. In reality it is quite 'tired' and needs some money spent on it. Given we stayed for the week of 27th August to 3rd September, I would not at all regard the price we paid as value for money. I expected a very comfortable, if not luxurious stay for that price - we didn't get it. All in all, a disappointing week for what was our only family week together this year. ##### Aideen W. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel PortAventura - Includes unlimited access to PortAventura Park & 1 access to Ferrari Land](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salou-Hotels-Hotel-PortAventura-Theme-Park-Tickets-Included.h892512.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Roses Platja](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Roses-Hotels-Hotel-Prestige-Coral-Platja.h598319.Hotel-Information) > > [Casa Granados Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tossa-De-Mar-Hotels-Casa-Granados-Boutique-Hotel.h7308627.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel GHT Sa Riera](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tossa-De-Mar-Hotels-Hotel-GHT-Sa-Riera.h14656970.Hotel-Information) > > [Aparthotel Miami Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Calella-Hotels-Aparthotel-Miami-Park.h1469547.Hotel-Information) > > [Ibersol Hotel Sorra d'Or](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malgrat-De-Mar-Hotels-Ibersol-Hotel-Sorra-DOr.h1650652.Hotel-Information) > > [Golden Bahía de Tossa & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tossa-De-Mar-Hotels-Golden-Bahia-De-Tossa-Spa.h8120732.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Oasis Park Splash](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Calella-Hotels-Hotel-Oasis-Park-Splash.h1486921.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Diana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tossa-De-Mar-Hotels-Hotel-Diana.h1464977.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Camiral - The Leading Hotels of the World](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Caldes-De-Malavella-Hotels-Hotel-Camiral-At-PGA-Catalunya-Resort.h13074144.Hotel-Information) > > [10 Bedrooms Villa|Tennis & Basketball court|Soccer Field|Near Beaches &Barcelona](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sils-Hotels-10-Bedrooms-Villa-In-SpainLarge-Pool.h33605992.Hotel-Information) > > [Golden Taurus Aquapark Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pineda-De-Mar-Hotels-Golden-Taurus-Aquapark-Resort.h4485370.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Sorra Daurada Splash](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malgrat-De-Mar-Hotels-Hotel-Sorra-Daurada-Splash.h1247980.Hotel-Information) > > [Ohtels Vila Romana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salou-Hotels-Ohtels-Vila-Romana.h1628011.Hotel-Information) > > [ALEGRIA Florida Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Susanna-Hotels-Hotel-Florida-Park.h1216764.Hotel-Information) > > [htop Pineda Palace & SPA - Adults Recommended](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pineda-De-Mar-Hotels-Htop-Pineda-Palace-SPA.h916597.Hotel-Information) > > [PortAventura Hotel El Paso - Includes unlimited access to PortAventura Park & 1 access to Ferrari Land](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salou-Hotels-PortAventura-Hotel-El-Paso-Theme-Park-Tickets-Included.h892513.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Meridien Ra Beach Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/El-Vendrell-Hotels-Le-Meridien-Ra-Beach-Hotel-Spa.h1175187.Hotel-Information) > > [4R Gran Regina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salou-Hotels-4R-Gran-Regina.h1174968.Hotel-Information) > > [htop Planamar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malgrat-De-Mar-Hotels-Htop-Planamar.h1326453.Hotel-Information) > > [Alannia Salou Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salou-Hotels-Alannia-Salou.h75597503.Hotel-Information) > > [Magnificent 15 bedroom villa Spain|XXL Pool, BBQ, Gamesroom|Beaches & Barcelona](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sils-Hotels-Magnificent-15-Bedroom-Villa-SpainXXL-Pool.h33416646.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Terramar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Calella-Hotels-Hotel-Terramar.h1216751.Hotel-Information) > > [Evenia Olympic Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lloret-De-Mar-Hotels-Evenia-Olympic-Resort.h1461942.Hotel-Information) > > [Melia Sitges](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sitges-Hotels-Melia-Sitges.h48902.Hotel-Information) > > [Santa Susana Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Susanna-Hotels-Santa-Susana-Resort.h1650653.Hotel-Information) > > [Medplaya Hotel Calypso](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salou-Hotels-Medplaya-Hotel-Calypso.h1382952.Hotel-Information) > > [FERGUS Club Pineda Splash](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pineda-De-Mar-Hotels-30-Degrees-Hotel-Pineda-Splash.h1650656.Hotel-Information) > > [H10 Salauris Palace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salou-Hotels-H10-Salauris-Palace.h1099904.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercury](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Susanna-Hotels-Hotel-Mercury.h1443203.Hotel-Information)
