Villa Cova Spain

Villa Cova is cool and trendy and situated in an exclusive area of the Costa Brava, just 400 metres from the stunning beach of Tamariu. It is gorgeous, contemporary and sprawling, all on one level though one of the bedrooms is in an additional building below the pool area. With 4 bedrooms in total, this wonderful villa sleeps 8 guests. The views from the magnificent gardens and terraces are delightful.

The beach of Tamariu, so close to the villa, is embraced by pine-clad headlands so is sheltered. Previously a small fishing village, Tamariu has retained its charm and identity and is idyllic, tranquil and pretty. Just behind the beach, the pedestrian promenade is lined with tamarisk trees and is scattered with cafes, restaurants and beach gear shops. Just 5km up the road is another of the Costa Brava’s treasures, the lovely town of Begur.

Villa Cova’s design makes the most of its hillside position. The views towards the sea are stunning, and the infinity pool is situated in the perfect place. The villa flows so well. Although open plan, furnishings have been placed in perfect spots to break up the areas and to ensure that the whole villa is illuminated with brilliant sunshine. 

The large, impressive garden enjoys sunshine all day long. There is a large decked terrace for sunbathing, a large porch for alfresco dining and a fantastic outdoor kitchen. There is a separate covered chill-out lounge area beside the pool for heavenly lazy summer days. The garden is fragrant and luscious, such a lovely setting. The magnificent fruit trees also guard the privacy of the guests. 

The interior boasts a stylish, expansive living space with comfortable dining and lounging and a contemporary kitchen with a central island and wine fridge. The massive sliding doors not only frame the spectacular views but merge the exterior and the interior, giving you such a feeling of space and calm. To the rear of the villa, there is a laundry room and a corridor leading to three large bedrooms. 

These are again minimalist in design. There is one double room with an ensuite bathroom with bath and shower and beautiful sea views. The two twin bedrooms share an immaculate shower room and also enjoy the sea views. The bathrooms are contemporary, sleek and stylish. The villa has an additional building below the pool where you will find a studio room, perfect for a quiet time, as well as a further double room with a shower room. 

Tamariu is a great choice for a family holiday. It is upmarket, idyllic, peaceful, pretty and not far from more active towns if you want a buzzy night out. The Festival of Tamariu takes place on 15 August with watermelon launching, Habaneras singing, a foam party and a clown who performs for the children. The beach is lovely with watersports on offer. Tucked between Tamariu and Llafranc, Cala Pedrosa makes an ideal retreat if you are looking for a secluded beach. It is edged by cliffs and conifers and is popular with divers and snorkelers. 

A walk in the stunning botanic gardens at Cap Roig, near Calella de Palafrugell is a dreamy experience. There is a great variety of plants, trees and flowers from all over the world. The views out to sea and of the rocky islets are absolutely beautiful. There are a picnic area and plenty of places to sit in the shade and enjoy the views. In the summer, the gardens host the famous Festival del Jardin Cap Roig with music and dance performances by international artists such as Norah Jones, Anastacia and Andrea Bocelli and art exhibitions of celebrated artists. 

Calella de Palafrugell has a stunning beach where you will often see colourful fishing boats. You can take the fabulous Camino de Ronda hiking route to visit Llafranc close by. The Garoinada is a festival in honour of sea urchins, a local delicacy of the whole region. There is a music festival in June with several performances over three days. 

The Costa Brava Jazz Festival comes to Palafrugell in October. Port Bo is the harbour neighbourhood of Calella de Palafrugell. Its beautiful white houses and winding streets make it a beautiful labyrinth to meander in. It has been declared a site of Cultural Heritageof National Importance. The town of Palafrugell is fairytale-like, historic and gorgeous with a vibrant Sunday morning market. You really must visit. 

Llafranc is one of those places that attracts artists, film stars, the beautiful and the rich. The Telegraph listed it as one of Europe’s top hidden seaside resorts.
