Charming farmhouse cottage near the beach

This totally self-contained cottage is situated in a quiet residential area only two kilometres from top-ranking blue flag beaches and a 15-minute walk to the restaurants and amenities of the medieval village of Calonge. Completely separate from the 17th century stone farmhouse, and with its own private entrance, parking area, terrace, patio and garden, 'Masoveria' cottage has been tastefully renovated to suit families, or as a luxury retreat for couples. From upstairs there are sweeping views of the surrounding countryside to the sea. The cottage makes an ideal base for walking, golf, cycling or exploring the area's numerous architectural and historic sites. There are many excellent bars and restaurants nearby at prices to suit every pocket, and night owls and shopaholics will love cosmopolitan Platja d'Aro or tapas in the fishing port of Palamos. Lots of summer cultural and sporting activities for adults and kids. ***MONTHLY RATE NOV. 2008- APRIL 2009: 1,000 EUROS ALL INCLUSIVE***

Accommodation and Facilities for the cottage in Calonge, Costa Brava - Girona, Spain

Coast, beach and tourist attractions

Catalonia boasts many sites of architectural and historical interest, including the Greek and Roman ruins at Empuriabrava, Romanesque churches, medieval villages, the Dali museum at Figueras and Dali's house at beautiful Cadaques. And of course no visit would be complete without a trip to exciting Barcelona, the native city of the architect Gaudi. There are many fiestas and cultural events in the local area. The Costa Brava (wild coast) is one of the most attractive parts of the Spanish coastline, with rocky coves alternating with long, sandy beaches. This area boasts many four- and five-star blue flag bathing beaches, as well as some of the most picturesque seaside resorts you'll see anywhere in the Mediterranean. The kids will adore our acres of golden sand and safe swimming (with lifeguards permanently on hand), not to mention the huge water park in nearby Platja d’Aro. The council organises free activities for the kids in summer.

Golf, walking and biking

There are excellent championship golf courses within 30 minutes' drive, ranging from par three courses to championship courses. There's also a Pitch'n'Putt 10 minutes away. Walkers will enjoy the views along the Catalan coastal paths, some more challenging than others. When the weather is not too hot, more seasoned walkers can explore the way-marked routes through the nearby Gavarres hills, or venture further afield to the Pyrenees. An unforgettable trip is a steep ride up the rack railway between dramatic peaks to the Valley of Nuria, more than 2000 metres above sea level, where no cars are allowed, and only the hotel guests remain when the last train departs before supper time. There is lots of great biking on road and off road, with no need to take the car. Bikes can be rented locally.

Shops and restaurants

Modern and cosmopolitan Platja d'Aro has it all - fashionable stores, lots of tourist shops, cafés and restaurants, plus a lively nightlife. Nearby Palamos is a charming Catalan port, with traditional restaurants, cafés, tapas bars and shops. There's plenty of al fresco eating in any of the lovely seaside towns and villages in the area and you can shop in bustling local markets, well-stocked supermarkets or speciality stores.
