Rental on the Costa Brava with a private pool

Paradis Nature Costa Brava - Rental villa with a private pool in Catalonia

Comfortable holiday cottage in a natural setting

ChicVillas brings you this 14th-century farmhouse located in the Gavarres mountains near Girona. It has been wholly designed for slow tourism and taking your time to enjoy life, nature and the beauty around. The house is in a protected natural area and has been designed accordingly. The interior is simple and minimalist, with the emphasis on serenity and winding down.

There is a nice mix of shared spaces for enjoying time with family or friends and places to retreat to for some quiet time alone. The result is a feeling of serenity and simple luxury of enjoying time and space.

The three ground-floor bedrooms all have double beds that can be separated into single beds and their own en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower.

There are another three spacious bedrooms on the first floor, including a 40 m² family suite split over three levels.

The garden is designed for zen living, with hammocks and seating among the holm oaks, olive and fig trees. It’s perfect for an uplifting morning routine of meditation and yoga! A holiday in Spain means sunshine and siestas, and you have everything here to enjoy both. Your days will be paced by leisurely lunches, dips in the pool and settling in the shade of the garden to read a good book or simply take in the views and connect with nature.

The swimming pool gives the impression being perched between the mountains and the Mediterranean countryside. It is naturally treated with salt for a healthier approach and heated by a heat pump.

Spain, a place with something for everyone

Set out from your Paradis Nature Costa Brava holiday rental to explore the many hiking, biking and horseriding trails nearby. Canyoning and golf are also on the agenda at scenic spots in the region.

Wine lovers can visit the local vineyards that make natural wines. The new generation of winegrowers is keen to improve the quality of local wines using more environmentally friendly methods to grow the grapes and will be happy to tell you more during a tasting visit.

The local produce here comes from both land and sea. Visit the markets and restaurants to discover and savour delicious Catalan cuisine.

There are plenty of art and cultural activities in the region. The sunny Costa Brava climate makes it one of the best destinations for a beach holiday in Europe, but there are countless hidden treasures to explore off the beaten track too. In the province of Girona, Pals is arguably one of the most picturesque medieval villages on the Costa Brava. Perched on a hill, it was built around a fortress and still has a Middle Ages look and feel that will whisk you back in time.

Another gem of Catalonia is the medieval village of Ullastret. This Iberian town, built in the 6th century BC, had everything it needed to build a strong community. Today, you can still see remains of that era.

La Bisbal d'Empordà is the capital town of the region and is an easy drive from the villa. It has a wide range of cultural activities and things to see, do and visit. It is known for its artisanal crafts, ceramics, second-hand shops and homeware boutiques, fairs and markets, and its historic buildings and castles.

You can also visit Girona which has a well-preserved old town, or casco viejo.

A villa to rent between land and sea on the Costa Brava

To make the most of your holiday in Spain, why not head down to the coast for a day at the beach? Long sandy beaches are less than 30 kilometres from the villa and are ideal for water sports, hiking along the coastal path (El Camino de Ronda), visiting typical villages or simply relaxing and soaking up the lively atmosphere.

Well-being and workshops to enhance your stay

The concept of slow tourism is all about reconnecting with yourself and nature and local services are on hand to help you do just that. Well-being services that can be arranged include massages, meditation, yoga and reiki. Culinary workshops are also available.
