Villa Granada Spain

With a large garden, outdoor pool and mountain views, the impressively spacious Villa Granada is suitable for up to 10 guests. Situated roughly halfway between Barcelona and Girona, it has great cities and beautiful Costa Brava beaches within reach and is just 9km from the beautiful Montseny natural park.
Located 1km from the centre of Sant Esteve de Palautordera, the villa has this small town’s amenities within a short walk or drive. It is also just 500m from the edge of the forest which forms part of a stunning natural setting. The outdoor pool, measuring 10m x 4m, makes the most of the views, and is accompanied by sun loungers, seating and dining areas and a large lawned area – ideal for children to play on.
The house is roomy and bright, with a spacious living area directly accessible from the terrace. There is ample seating and a TV, and an adjoining dining area makes a great place for a special dinner together. You can wander in and out to the garden as much as you please – there is an additional space outside which would be ideal for after-dinner drinks.
A social space in itself, the large kitchen offers all you need, including a dishwasher, microwave and coffee machine. An island with breakfast bar seating is perfect for a quick coffee, while the nearby courtyard garden provides another satisfying space.
Five gorgeous bedrooms – three doubles and two twins – are sure to provide a comfortable night’s sleep, and enjoy some wonderful views too. A pair of well-appointed bathrooms can also be found at Villa Granada. With rooms suitable for adults and children alike, the house is a good choice for a larger family or mixed group.
Sant Esteve de Palautordera lies around 25km from the coastal resort of Arenys de Mar, with its attractive harbour and waterfront restaurants well worth a visit. The larger town of Mataró lies 20 minutes down the coast in the direction of Barcelona, itself just under an hour’s drive from Sant Esteve de Palautordera.The area of Catalonia extending north of Barcelona has no shortage of beach resorts and attractive coastal hideaways to uncover. Large towns such as Badalona and Mataró later give way to smaller but much-loved locations like Llafranc and Begur, giving this stretch of the Costa Brava a satisfying level of variety.
What lies inland is also positively rewarding. With a landscape dominated by mountainous regions like Montseny and the Cadiretes, it would be a shame not to take some time away from the beach to enjoy some incredible scenery either on foot or by bike. The latter area extends as far as the coast north of Tossa de Mar, offering the perfect opportunity to combine the two.
One of Catalonia’s most impressive historic cities lies around 35 minutes’ drive north of here – Girona. Whether it’s to view the Arab Baths, the record-breaking wide nave of the Catedral de Santa María or the coloured houses lining the River Onyar, you are assured of an inspiring visit. Girona is also home to Catalonia’s largest urban park, Devesa, a wonderful green oasis in the heart of the city.
For something a little more rugged, the mountains of Montseny are a vast playground for hikers and climbers. Richly diverse in terms of both landscape and climate, this vast natural area is one of the region’s must-sees. To the south, the smaller Parc del Montnegre i el Corredor offers a relaxing outdoor environment that’s well suited to walking.
Along the coast to the east of this area, a number of attractive towns make for appealing excursions, such as Arenys de Mar with its eye-catching historic buildings and pretty harbour. North-west of Barcelona, the city of Terrassa provides an alternative angle on Catalonia. This important industrial city boasts some impressive architecture in the form of the Modernist Masia Freixa and Mercat de la Independència central market. Its National Museum of Science and Technology offers an intriguing overview of more recent developments.At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
