About Costa Brava
Our houses in Costa Brava are perfect for the budget conscious traveler or group who enjoys authenticity and village life, but proximity to world class dining, beaches and cultural offerings. For the more active traveler, Girona is a center for cycling, both road and mountain, and the hiking trails have been well developed in the area. There is world class golfing in Pals. The houses and area are ideal for any time of year, since there is radiant heat in the home and the year round beauty of the country side. We’ve had guests stay for a weekend, weeks, or even months. Ideal for a Barcelona dweller or family to escape the city for the quiet to work, hike, relax, and regroup. Our houses are also an ideal home base for other European travel, since it is close to the French Border and 20´ to the Girona airport which has cheap flights to destinations all over Europe.
