Villa Las Mimosas is set in its own private gardens of approximately 1/2 acre at the top of a prestigious development of individually designed detached villas. It is located 10 minutes walking distance from the historical village of Calonge with its weekly market, restaurants and bars, small supermarkets and shops. Villa Las Mimosas is equipped to the highest standards and is furnished in a luxurious and modern style with open plan living areas, two spacious bathrooms, three luxurious bedrooms and cool terracotta tile floors throughout. It has full central heating and double glazing and fans in every room plus movable air conditioning units and so is suitable for all year round occupancy in comfort. The main rooms open on to terraces that overlook the pool, the gardens and the stunning vista of the sea and mountains. Villa Las Mimosas provides the perfect setting for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.
The area provides a wealth of things to see and do; both by car, public transport and on foot. Local towns and villages are all full of character and interest. Nearby Calonge, Palamos and Platja D’Aro are well worth a walk. The fishing town of Palamos is where many local fishermen deliver their catch. It provides an array of stunning restaurants that serve mouthwatering fresh sea food as their speciality. Slightly further a field are towns such as Palafrugell, Begur, Pals, La Bisbal and St Feliu. There are many coves and bays that can be reached on foot and in some cases by car that offer spectacular views and scenery. For a day out Figueres (home of Salvador Dali) and Vic are worth visiting, not to mention Girona itself and of course Barcelona. Remember to allow time for visiting before everything closes for lunch/siesta at 1pm. (Normally re-opens at 4pm but can vary). The local town of Palamos is where you can get buses to many of these places if you don't want to drive.
Golf:
There are a variety of excellent courses nearby. Within 45 minutes drive of the Villa there are seven 18 hole courses. Two of these (Pals and Emporda) hosted the 2003 European qualifying school and last year an LPGA event. They vary from links to woodland and are all reasonably priced and in excellent condition. The nearest (Mas Nou) has excellent practise facilities. The mild weather makes year round golf a pleasure. Handicap certificates are generally required.
