Stylish villa, peaceful setting above Sa Riera beach. Medieval Begur 5 minutes
La Pineda is a self-contained two storey villa nestling amongst the pines on a hillside above Sa Riera beach, which can be accessed by car in a couple of minutes, or by a steep flight of steps for the fit and energetic. The house is 20 years old, and it has been completely transformed in 2006 with much thought being given to comfort and style. There are wide terraces, perfect for breakfasting in the sun, beautiful planting and views to the sea. The setting is peaceful, yet not remote. The historic hillside town of Begur is nearby, the area offers a wide range of cultural and sporting activities, with excellent restaurants and wines. The coast offers a wide variety of sandy coves and sweeping bays. It has one of the highest concentrations of 'Blue Flag' sites in Europe. A bonus is that the owner, who lives in the house below (accessed by a lower road) is an excellent cook and meals, shopping and child-care can be arranged, if desired.

This area of the coast has great natural splendour with a fine tapestry of ancient walled towns and hilltop villages. The beautiful city of Girona is only 40 minutes drive. Not only is the whole area steeped in culture, but, especially in the low season, the villa is an ideal centre for numerous sporting activities - for example, there are well-marked tracks for walking and cycling and mountain bicycling is especially popular in the undulating terrain. We can advise on all the above and even arrange for guided horseback riding. Catalunia is famous for its marvellous GOLF COURSES - 9, all superbly sited, and the course considered one of the best in Europe is less that 15 minutes drive away - at PALS. Skiing too can be enjoyed as the Pyrennes slopes are two to three hours drive from Begur. Culturally too, there is much to see, the Dali Museum at Figures and his homes at Portlligat and Cadeques can be visited. Barcelona needs no introduction and is easily accessible.

The villa is ideal for a winter holiday, having double glazing throughout, as well as central heating and an open fire. During the cooler weather the full range of sporting activities can be taken advantage of; for example we are situated in beautiful walking and cycling country with well-marked trails and tracks. Mountain biking is also a popular sport and the terrain was ideal for the recent World Championship trials. We can also arrange guided horseback riding Catalunia is a well known golfing area too, in fact Golf World Magazine praised the Golf Club of Pals - a fifteen minute drive from Begur as one of the best in Europe. There are no less that nine Golf courses in the region, all in superb sites. Skiing too is possible, the slopes of Andorra are accessible in about two to three hours. Finally, the cultural sites and the beautiful medieval towns in the area can be seen to advantage in low season.

Review Submitted: April 11, 2008, Date of stay: August, 2007
After a delayed flight, Denise (the owner) greeted us with a sumptuous meal on the terrace overlooking the bay at Sa Riera. Our family would wholeheartedly recommend this villa. The owner lives below the villa and her presence is unobtrusive, yet, if wanted, she will provide meals and has the local knowledge to recommend restaurants and beaches.
The villa is stylish, well-maintained and roomy. It is decorated with original artwork and is well-equipped.
The terraces surrounding the property are ideal to laze about in the evening warmth, sipping red and fantasizing how you'd like to up-sticks and move to Spain.
The location is ideal for families with younger children.
The beach at Sa Riera is divided into two, the smaller one being ideal for little ones as it is more sheltered and the sand slopes gently into the sea.
A car is a must. We once took the steeps down to the beach from the villa complete with buckets, spades and inflatable shark, and, although we managed it, I wouldn't recommend it on a really hot afternoon.
Parking at the beach was sometimes tricky but we always managed to find a space. There is a supermarket near the beach where you can buy essentials. The coffee shops by the beach sell wonderful pastries and ice-cream to die for.
There are many other picturesque beaches in the area ready to be explored as well as wonderfully preserved medieval towns such as Pals nearby. The beach at nearby Llfranc is fab and is fringed with shops and restaurants. The market at nearby Begur is fun too.
Owner's response:
Petra, Chris and family, thank you for such a wonderful review. We are so pleased that you loved the villa, we work very hard to make it comfortable and functional, whilst retaining a certain style. So glad also that you enjoyed the meals; I think of you, Petra, everytime I bake 'That Cheesecake!'
Yes, I agree, walking back up the steps with all the beach equipment is a bit of a hike, especially on a hot day and with young children. Since your visit they have totally refurbished Sa Riera and there's now much better parking facilities, thus avoiding the hike!
We hope to see you at La Pineda again some day.
