Home description
Recently restored with holiday rentals in mind, Mas Roca offers a high level of comfort, including all the modern amenities (washer and drier, dishwasher, satellite pay TV, etc), as well as a new 10x6 meter unfenced swimming pool and a tennis wall (the Spanish play "fronton" - like Basque jai alai but with tennis rackets).
One of the nicest things about Mas Roca is that there are three entryways into the lower floor: the rather grand wooden-planked main entrance into the central downstairs hallway; another nice old large doorway enters into the main dining room and kitchen area and there is a back door in to the back passageway where the washing machine is kept which goes directly to the downstairs bedroom and bathroom.
As you would expect, there is an shaded outdoor sitting area with the BBQ just outside the entryway to the kitchen and dining room. The dining room has a long wooden planked table and benches seating up to 14 or so, with a fireplace nearby. The kitchen is quite spacious, about 25m2, and well equipped with plenty of counterspace lining three of the four walls. Across the downstairs central hallway is the huge living room, about 50m2, which has two sofas, two easy chairs, more bench-type seating near the TV (DVD, CD/radio/cassette player), and one of those round card tables. Perhaps the nicest feature of this living room are the three large double-glazed windows affording nice views out onto the garden and letting in lots of sunlight. The large downstairs bedroom (1) is at the end of the downstairs hallway, up three steps (so not good for wheelchairs), and this bedroom has a double bed and a single bed, and a private bathroom, with a nice wide walk-in, slate-floored shower.
Upstairs there is a large central living room leading to the five other bedrooms, two of which are off on a separate wing, so all the rooms are somewhat far apart and more private than, say, rooms lined up in a linear hallway. Let´s describe the layout of bedrooms and bathrooms: with a lovely private terrace under crooked old wooden beams overlooking the pool, (2) there is a large en suite room with double bed and private bathroom with bathtub. On one side of the upstairs salon, there are two rooms on either side of a bathroom, this a full bathroom with bathtub. (3) One bedroom has three single beds, and (4) the other bedroom has a double bed. Across the hall there is a little wing with two bedrooms, (5) one room with double bed and a small bathroom with shower, and another (6) bedroom with two single beds. The small bathroom for room (5) has two doors, one direct to the bedroom and one to the salon, for easy access for room (6).

The Costa Brava/Catalonia region
The Costa Brava is rightfully famous for its breathtakingly beautiful coastline, where wide beaches of golden sand and crystal clear waters alternate with rocky promentories and little coves backed by sheer cliffs topped with pine and oak forests. The interior of the Costa Brava is every bit as stunning as the coast (and far less affected by tourism), with pristine medieval villages set in lush, typically Mediterranean landscapes.
A short drive to the east and you are in the wooded hills of the pre-Pyrenees, with trout-filled streams feeding environmentally protected lakes - like the one in Banyoles - offering a welcome alternative to the coastal beaches.
Girona / Estanyol area
Mas Roca is situated a few hundred meters outside of the tiny hamlet of Estanyol, just a kilometer or so on the bike path to Aiguaviva, and 8 kms southwest of lovely historic Girona. The house and large grounds are completely private and you have no neighbors nearby. The pool and the tennis wall are under pine and holm oak. There are very good restaurants in the area (you can walk to an excellent restaurant and terraced café in Estanyol in minutes) and you can choose to shop in small specialty shops in nearby villages or go to the big supermarkets outside of Girona. The house is also located only a short drive away from half a dozen quality golf courses.
How to get there
Girona is the nearest airport. It is a well served international airports with regular flights departing form around 12 UK airports (Airlines such as Ryanair, BA, Thompsonfly and Euroflights offer great flight prices for those on a budget!).
More information on low price airport transfer can be found at www.shuttledirect.com. There are many car hire companies based at the airport and around the region. They offer a large range of vehicles, to suit every budget. See companies such as Hertz, Europcar and Avis.

Guestbook for Mas Roca
"We had such a fantastic time, everything was great, what a magnificent house/grounds and so clean and tidy. Conxita was there to meet us and gave us a detailed description of the surrounding area which was just what we needed - the beaches she recommended for the children were excellent."
"The villa is well equipped and spotless the mid week cleaning team were execellent, and conxita fathers very spritly for a mere eighty-six year old, he was always helpful when little things went wrong. Everyone loved the tennis/squash court especially my ten year old son.Please pass on our thanks and our comments to him."
"Mas Roca was a dream. We adored our time there. The house was beautiful, clean and well-appointed. The grounds and swimming pool were too. The surrounding countryside was full of good restaurants, and we were only a short drive away from the beach or the mountains."
