Ref. CB 200 - Can Tapies

sleeps 30 or so in 12 large bedrooms, 9 full bathrooms + 3 wcs, Can Tapies is on the same 15 hectaire property as Mas Dalt, and is another fully licensed 1100m2 baronial stone mansion consisting of three fully equipped and independent apartments. One apartment has 5 en suite bedrooms, another flat has 3 en suite bedrooms, and the third flat has 4 bedrooms sharing a bathroom.  It is very important to stress here that these are not 3 apartments crammed into a normal farmhouse. Each apartment is very generously proportioned, with fully equipped kitchen, living/dining room, large rooms, private terraces, each flat set well apart from one another. There is a 100m2 playroom with billiard, ping pong, and babyfoot. The new 12x5m swimming pool is set on a terrace just below the house, with a football pitch with goalposts.  The views throughout are great!  Great for larger groups but priced for smaller groups who might just want a little extra space!

Ref. CB 300 - El TurĂł

up to 27 max. in 10 rooms, 12 bathrooms, this is no doubt the house with the greatest WOW-factor in my website.  Although not really on the Costa Brava (it is 40 kms due north of Barcelona, 2.5 kms from the pleasant village of Castellterçol, this new property deserves to be seen so I have decided to put it into both the Costa Brava listings and the Barcelona area listings, where it really belongs. This is a massive luxury (again, the L word is justified)  mansion on a private 10 hectaire hilltop property in the middle of a natural park reserve, with indoor and outdoor swimming pools, and great views of the Pyrenees. The location and the grounds are tops, but what really sets this house apart is the very high quality of its interiors. Not inexpensive but do take a look at what a high-quality Catalan masia looks like!  Free internet.

Ref. CB 400 - Can Cunill

up to 20 or so in 10 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, 8 rooms air-conditioned. Located 20 kms south of Girona, one hour from Barcelona, a safe 20 kms inland from Lloret de Mar and the other (better) southern Costa Brava resorts. This is a huge "luxury" estate (sorry for using the often abused "L" word - I usually don´t - but in many ways this one deserves it!) originally dates from 1583, has 8,000m2 of private gardens (tended by a full-time gardener), two large swimming pools, and a magnificent poolside dining area and seating for over 50 guests (outdoor kitchen and bathrooms too). This is the kind of villa you might see on TV. Even if you can't afford to stay here - and if you can you probably should - you might like to take a quick look at this one just for the fun of it. I've seen lesser villas going for twice the price!  Free internet.

Ref. CB 500 - Casanova de Ferrando

up to 20 in 9 rooms and 10 bathrooms!   this villa offers lots of space, both indoors and out, and lots of bedrooms, each with a private bathroom for very little money.  With a beautifully landscaped garden (the owner´s own a garden center) situated just 1km from a small agricultural village 8 kms south of Girona and 15 kms to beaches. This villa is proving to be very popular with those in need of a big house, with a big 12 x 6m swimming pool, sauna and large jacuzzi, a fantastic garden... and plenty of bathrooms.  Very near the major bike routes and 1.5km from train so very popular with groups of cyclists, curiously enough!  Impeccable, excellent feedback.... book early. 2 week minimum in high-season.  Free PC & WiFi.

Ref. CB 600 - Can Brugues

up to 18 or so in 9 rooms, 7 bathrooms, a large house on the edge of town divided into 3 independent and separate duplex apartments, each with separate entrance, a kitchen, living room, etc... The idea is that three or four families can share the villa and be together (in the large living and dining rooms in the main part of the house and the outdoor BBQ & sitting areas and pool) but otherwise each family has its own private living quarters. Situated on the edge of Sils - so a few minutes walk to bakery, shops, 2 excellent restaurants - and 2 kms to commuter train into Barcelona (50 minute ride) - 17 kms south of Girona and 15 kms inland from Lloret de Mar and the southern Costa Brava beaches. Well planned out, with a good-sized swimming pool with cascade, nice & garden.  Can Brugues has a lot going for it!

Ref. CB 800 - Casa Sant Juan

sleeps 17 or so in 9 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms,  (2 of these outdoors poolside and BBQ side).  Set on a large private 35 hectaire fenced property under pines, 30 kms north of Barcelona, 12 highway kms inland from the beaches around Mataro, this property consists of two houses, always rented together to the same group, never separately.  The larger 5 bedroom house (225m2) is brand new and quite elegant, fully air conditioned and with quality furnishings, while the other 4 bedroom house (100m2) is rather simple, and I have been offering this older house for years now, so the owners have a proven track record.  Each house has its own outdoor sitting area and there is a large covered BBQ dining area with seating for all guests, ping pong, etc.  The 10x6 meter swimming pool is larger than most.  Highly recommended, for small and larger groups alike, who wish to be in a nice quiet location with great views, but not far from Barcelona and the sea.  Free WiFi & local cell phones for longer rentals.

Sat to Sat rentals in high-season, 2010 rental rates for both houses, low: 1500, mid: 2250, high-season: 3000 Euros/week (the two houses are never rented separately). Off-season weekend rates: 900 Euros plus 250 Euros extra night.

In the summer months, guests have unlimited free use of the large municipal swimming pool and sports complex (500 meters away, including football pitch, lifeguards on duty, and of course, a terraced cafĂ©!) a five-minute walk from the house.

Ref. CB 1300 - Mas Anès

up to 12 or so in 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms.  One past guest referred to Mas Anes as a "hidden gem" and I agree.  This is a charming 400m2 farmhouse on a large private property, originally dating from the mid-17thC, very nicely restored, on the outskirts of Riudellots, about 12 kms inland from the mid-Costa Brava resorts around Sant Feliu de Guixols. Along with venerable houses like Mas Grau, this is another unique place, nicely furnished for and by the owners (not done for rentals), a huge and varied garden (fruit trees, flowers, fields, a pond...) and new fenced-in swimming pool (9.5 x 5m) - all for an excellent price. The photos (I took myself) are not good so be sure to read the Comments from Past Guests. No central heating so rents only mid-May to early October. Minimum 2 weeks in July and August.

up to 12 or so in 6 rooms, 3 bathrooms, this 170m2 villa is in a beautiful location outside of Orfes, 4 km from Bascarà and the main roads between Figueres and Girona. I´ve been working with this house since 1999 (see the Comments Page) and this is undoubtedly one of the most solid properties (in terms of price/quality/comfort) in our listings. This area is just plain gorgeous, situated in the lush hills between the northern Costa Brava and the must-see lake Banyoles. The garden has a mix of palms and pines, with a 9x5m swimming pool and plenty of lawn space. Not a huge house but very comfy and gets booked up early!

Ref. CB 1500 - La Torre de San Bartolomeu

Ref. CB 1600 - Casadevall villa

up to 12 or so in 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, Casadevall is a notable exception from the usual sort of rustic farmhouse property we normally offer. This is the modern 350m2 house of an architect, situated in a 10 hectaire private fenced-in property of mostly Mediterranean pine and cork oak, just outside of the town of Sils, 65 kms north of Barcelona by car, 1 km walk to the commuter train. Built some 15 years ago, this designer house has 6 bedrooms (2 en suite) and a total of four bathrooms plus one wc, along with a sauna and an exercise room with weights and nautilus machines.  But by far the nicest part of this villa is the large triangular swimming pool and the outdoor covered BBQ dining area and porch. It is probably one of the nicest outdoors of any of the houses I offer, with lots of nice seating and lighting around the pool.  A gorgeous setting under the soothing shade of fragrant pines!  Free internet.

Saturday to Saturday in mid and high-season, 2010 rental rates: low-season: 2300, high-season: 3000 Euros/week.

Ref. CB 1700 - Casa Nova

up to 10 or so in 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, with an exceptional price/quality relationship for a house with a private pool, Mas Casa Nova is a spacious but simple farmhouse set amidst sunflower fields just 1 km outside of Viladesens, a small village with a popular restaurant 8 kms northeast of Girona and 12 kms inland from the best Costa Brava beaches, an excellent location. With a well-kept fenced-in 5x10m swimming pool surrounded by some shadded lawn space, Casa Nova isn´t fancy, but most of you would find it perfect if you require a good-sized house, excellent location, private pool, outdoor dining with BBQ, pingpong room, mountain bikes, etc ... and an exceptionally low rental rate.  Book early!

Ref. CB 1800 - Can Girones

up to 10 or so in 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, a beautifully restored house in an unbeatable location, just off the greens of the new PGA golf course at Caldes de Malavella.  This is 12 kms south of Girona town, 15 kms inland from the middle Costa Brava beaches like San Feliu de Guixols.  Aside from the attractive interior, including 2 living rooms and a separate dining room and kitchen, there is a lovely Japanese-inspired landscaped garden and a private fenced-in swimming pool.  I have stayed here myself twice and I am very enthusiastic about this new house, which is 4 kms to the commuter train in Caldes to Barcelona (every half hour, 1 hour ride) and just 1 hour's drive from Barcelona on the fast AP-7 highway.  Good feedback and good price-quality relationship.  Recommended.

Ref. CB 2100 - Casa Palau

up to 10 maximum guests in 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms,  for me, this house is undoubtedly, meter for square meter, one of the nicest houses in these listings. Perched just above Agullana, a prosperous village with a large Romanesque church and some good art-nouveau buildings, Casa Palau is surrounded by the Catalan/French owner's vineyards and olive groves, offering wide panoramic views of hilly Albera range, where the mighty Pyrennes finally tumble into the Mediterranean at Cap de Creus. The house is beautiful and comfortable in equal measure, and now with the new fenced-in 9x4m swimming pool, I think you would be hard pressed to find a nicer house or location on either side of the nearby French-Spanish border.  I don´t usually gush but I like well-preserved old houses of character.

Ref. CB 2200 - Casa Aloe

up to 9 guests in 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms this is one of the few newly constructed houses we offer, but when I saw it, I couldn´t resist. Since adding Casa Aloe to our listings in 2002, it has consistently been one of our most successful properties, breaking all records for occupancy. Why?  Situated in a leafy residencial village overlooking a quality golf course (Vallromanes Golf, with green fees) just 25 minutes north of Barcelona and a short (12km) drive from the beaches fronting the attractive coastal wine-growing town of Alella, this elegant and very spacious (300m2) villa, with a private garden and swimming pool and sauna (pool maintained year-round!) has exactly what many of you are looking for, and at the right price! Perfectly situated near main roads for easy exploration of both Barcelona and the Costa Brava, and walking distance to a pleasant low-key village.

up to 9 or so in 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a newly restored (2007) cozy little farmhouse at the end of a huge field and edge of a high-plateau, with incredible views of layer upon layer of the Pyreness mountains fading off to the north.  This house offers few nice pluses, such a good outdoor covered dining BBQ area beside the cascading pool, and most impressive of all, a large partially shaded terrace out back from where you can comfortably sit, have meals, and contemplate the (once again) magnificent views.  This houses is owned by Cal Rajoler owner, who I have been working with since 1998, so I know you will be in good hands with him. Feedback so far is very good!

Why inland farmhouse rental?

Not only is it simply nicer to stay in an old restored farmhouse, but also …

  • eco-tourism helps preserve traditional ways of life
  • agro-tourism revitalizes depopulated villages
  • sustainable tourism controls the environmental impact (of tourism)
  • package tour operators leave little to nothing in local economy
  • mass tourism is an abomination - just look at so much of our coasts!
