Mas d’en Cholvi – 6 Bedrooms, Sleeps 9 – 12, 3 Bathrooms
This beautifully converted ‘masia’ commands wonderful views across the river valley towards the traditional hilltop village of Horta de Sant Joan. Surrounded by fields of olive, almond and vines it lies in the hilly, undiscovered Comarca of Terra Alta, midway between two villages, both of which have local amenities and are within a 5 minute drive of the house.
Mas Gras – 7 Bedrooms, Sleeps 13 – 15 , 6 Bathrooms
This classic stone built ‘masía’, dating from 1801 is a real gem. Sitting proudly in over 70 acres of immaculately kept grounds, just outside the medieval village of Cruïlles, and a country home to several generations of the same Catalan family, it has been lovingly preserved and maintained through the years. Great care has been taken to retain vaulted ceilings, open fireplaces, ancient beams and original stone floors, to name but a handful of the distinctive features. Fine antique furnishings span several eras including pieces from the French empire and gothic époques.Mas Gras Villa, Catalunya
Villa Farigola – 4 Bedrooms, Sleeps 8, 3 Bathrooms
The pretty pine clad slopes that encircle the charming fishing village of Tamariu have always featured high on our list of prime locations along this stunning stretch of coastline. It was therefore with delight that we discovered Villa Farigola, which sits on one of the quiet residential lanes that wind their way across this hillside, just 700m from the lovely sandy bay and its adjacent bars, restaurants and local grocery store.
