Villa Santa Anna embodies all that is compelling about this verdant, rugged coastline. Nestling pleasingly into its hillside surroundings on the select residential neighbourhood of Casa de Campo, it is a delightful residence offering sweeping views over lush pine-clad hillsides to the cerulean waters of the Mediterranean beyond.
Extending over two floors, this attractive home welcomes guests with its tastefully chosen furnishings and traditional décor. The interior layout offers a spacious and comfortable environment to provide a welcome level of intimacy for large groups of family and friends with plenty of options to suit all.
As we venture outdoors the theme continues within spacious grounds of undulating lawns adorned with lush shrubbery and mature trees of pine, cork oak, olive and fig. Bougainvillea, trumpet vine and rosemary frame sea-facing terraces, an abundance of secluded shady corners can be found and appreciated, but the focal point of the holiday will undoubtedly be the pool area. Flanked by a capacious sun terrace and complimented by an inviting covered barbecue area, this is the perfect spot in which to relax during the day or enjoy candlelit meals in the evening.
Just 2.2km away the market town of Palafrugell offers all amenities and a good selection of restaurants whilst a short drive reveals many spectacular beaches including the iconic sandy coves of Aigua Blava and a host of medieval towns and villages all worth exploring. What better place to explore them from than the gorgeous Villa Santa Anna!
