Home description
With views into the bay of Aigua Blava from the garden to the north at the front of the house and from the pool terrace to the south this is a very special location. From the driveway the villa is entered via a courtyard with its fountain and very pleasant and sheltered bbq area. The villa is on two levels with an entrance hall on the upper level leading to an open plan sitting/dining room which leads to a conservatory that runs the full length of the house overlooking the pool terrace. The kitchen is spacious and very well equipped and has a separate laundry/utility room. Also on this level there is a guest wc. The master bedroom is also on the same level opening onto a 'juliet' balcony overlooking the courtyard. This bedroom is en suite and has a large four poster bed. On the lower floor there are three double bedrooms all en suite, with french doors opening onto the pool terrace. The house is particularly child friendly and there is a gate from the courtyard preventing access from the pool area keeping little ones safe. The courtyard is totally enclosed so a great place to play safely. The pool area is far more spacious than it appears in the photographs. This villa is virtually impossible to photograph to its best advantage as it appears far smaller than it really is. The pool terrace easily accommodates 8 full size sun loungers and a table and chairs. The bbq area off the courtyard is sheltered and seats up to 12 people.
Sunny south facing pool terrace with 8 sun loungers
Open plan dining room leading to Conservatory

The Costa Brava/Catalonia region
The villa is located just south of Begur on the hill between Aigua Blava Bay and Tamariu two of the loveliest beaches on the Spanish Mediterranean coastline. Aigua Blava is the jewel in the crown of the Cost Brava and the reason is clear when you see the beautiful bay with its green blue waters and soft golden sands. It is a very child friendly beach with a gentle slope into the water. There are two restaurants on the beach serving good food at reasonable prices. Aigua Blava, Begur is just about 75 mins south of the French border and about 95 mins from Barcelona City centre making it an ideal base to allow full exploration of the Costa Brava area with both the beach areas and also the medieval towns and villages to be found inland. To the north are the beaches of Sa Tuna, Aiguafreda, Sa Riera and Pals so you will be spoilt for choice if you are tempted to leave the poolside for a swim! Not a beach person? don't worry the area has lots to offer history, art, music, dance, walking etc
Begur / Aigua Blava area
The picturesque town of Begur nestles in the hillside under its 16th Century fortified castle, many of the narrow cobbled streets at its base are now pedestrianised and the hub of the town itself.
With wonderful views of the sea it is set 700ft above sea level and close to many different sandy coves and bays. The old centre of the town is the main entertainment area with numerous bars and restaurants and a couple of nightclubs. During the high season there is a wealth of entertainment aimed at all ages from puppet shows, face painting etc., for the children to traditional Catalonian 'sardanas' dancing in the square during the evenings.
In fact the church square plays a major role in all activities during the summer and is the location of artisan markets, art fairs, classical concerts, the weekly market each Wednesday, the open air disco (for all ages from 8 to 80!!) In fact the place to meet friends have fun or simply watch the world go by.
The fact that the local beaches are all relatively small and the land hilly has helped keep the area relatively unspoilt. There are no high rise developments in this area, all development is low key and mostly privately owned. Because the area is unsuitable for large tour operators, there is none of the commercial mass development that is prevalent in other locations along the Costa Brava.
The Local Authority has an active 'Green' environmentally friendly policy, with strict planning regulations maintaining the overall charm of the area. The pine forests, which give the beaches their unique backdrop, are protected and together with the naturally rugged coastline make these some of the most beautiful beaches in the Mediterranean. Unlike other parts of Spain these distinctive beaches along this part of the Costa Brava are stunning without the crowds, Within the immediate area of Begur town there are some wonderful coastal villages all of which were at one time fishing villages.

Guestbook for Llangelida
We have just come back from our best holiday ever. We loved your villa it was far bigger than we thought it would be from the photographs and great for us with so many areas to sit and enjoy those views. The house is so well equipped with absolutely everything we could have asked for a real home from home. Thank you for sharing it with us. Jonathan and Vicky Maguire (Dublin)
Such a pleasant surprise to find this lovely villa Norway is never like this! ... we can't wait to come back. Marianne Olsewaska and family
Having been to Aigua Blava on holiday for the past six years we are so glad the other villa that we normally went to was not available this year. You have thought of everything to make it a great holiday home. Robert McCarthy, Belfast
....The children loved their play area and we felt they were so safe that we didn't have to worry about them for one minute. That really helped us to relax and enjoy our own holiday. ... we will be recommending your villa to all our friends. Rachel May, Gerry and the boys.
