Transatlantic villa at the seafront

Overlooking the sea and offering an unobstructed view, this semi-attached villa is ideally located at the seafront, near Gerona, in a typical Costa Brava village, Llafranc. It hosts up to 9 people (babies and children included) and has 4 bedrooms, a bathroom, 3 shower rooms, an en-suite bathroom, an equipped kitchen, a living room, a complete set of household appliances, a washing machine, a dishwasher, a television, a telephone, free wireless internet, and so on. For your comfort, we offer a dining room and a summer sitting room, a fresh-water swimming pool and its solarium, and many terraces for relaxing and tanning. The staircase in front of the villa provides direct access to the sea. The garage has an automatic gate. Nearby, there is the beach (500 m away): all the young ones and a little less young ones can descend by themselves, without any danger and with confidence. Llafranc really is a privileged and secure nook, only visited by the Barcelonese and some foreigners, often property owners as well. You can also enjoy 10 international and Olympic golf courses, restaurants, shops, while rocks for climbing are just next to the house.

Services:
The villa boasts 10 sleeps, and sheets are provided, but not table linen nor bath towels. During your stay, a cleaning help will be available (direct arrangement). Telephone is available for you to use, as is the free wireless internet. Linen is also available for rent.
Kitchen kit (3 tea towels + 1 hand towel + oven glove)
Table kit (1 duffel + 1 tablecloth + the number of table-napkins and napkin holders you need)
Toilet kit (1 bath towel + 1 towel + 1 glove) per person
Beach Kit (1 towel+umbrela + mat) = 5 €

Or even baby kits:
Dodo kit: bed with bedding and 2 sets of bed linen + a potty-chair + a changing mat + bath towels) = €10
Miam kit: a high chair + tableware (plate, glass, bowl, cutlery) for babies + a baby table napkin = €5
Beach kit: a pushchair + a parasol + beach toys = €5
Pool and garden maintenance, as well as the end of stay cleaning are included in rent.

Outdoor facilities:
The 1,350-sq.m ground has a series of stepped terraces, interrupted by cactus gardens or flowerpots. The 50-sq.m swimming pool has a length of 11 metres. It has a depth from 80 to 2.50 m. The small basin, well-away from the large one, is the joy of the little ones. A wooden fence encloses it. The main terrace, opening onto the entrance and living room, can be completely closed for security of the youngest. All of the terraces are fitted for having outdoor meals, chatting or relaxing, with wooden or resin furniture and sun loungers.

The big advantage:
The exception and specificity of this family-oriented villa is the view. While being in the living room, you will believe to be on an ocean liner while seeing nothing but the Mediterranean and its ships in front of you.

The ocean liners:
Friday evening is the moment to admire them, when they return to France. They form a procession, one after another, all of them illuminated for the captain's eve. It looks like a Christmas Wreath at the horizon. One of our tenants wanted to count the ships he saw in one day, beginning with the fishing boats at five o' clock in the morning. "756 ships", he told us, "luxurious yachts, a Catalan boat, a Riva completely built out of shiny teak wood, sailing boats of all sizes with up to 3 masts, outboard or inboard motor boats, windsurfing boards and even the garbage boats that look after the sea during the summer season." Don't doubt and don't forget to bring along your binoculars and a powerful camera for exceptional souvenirs! This summer, we found our tenants passed midnight, seated at the solarium railings. The father was playing the violin while the whole family was watching the lightning of a distant, overseas thunderstorm. It was a magic moment.

Spectacular location
We LOVED this property. Two middle-aged couples spent the week relaxing on the terrace, visiting Medieval cities or Roman ruins, and walking the Cami de Ronda. The location was the absolute best - relaxing city that is not too small nor too big, right by the Cami de Ronda for beautiful walks, and incredible terrace to enjoy the view. The host was fantastic with following up with us. I highly recommend this house! The rooms, kitchen, and bathrooms were large and comfortable. We made many lunches and dinners in the kitchen to enjoy on the terrace. If you want to go to Costa Brava, choose this location.

Amazing Location
This traditional villa built 55 years ago is in an amazing location with fabulous outside terraces. The house is a feat of engineering and is obviously much loved by the owners. It is a tribute to them to have kept the villa for 6 generations. The villa is semidetached with the owner living in the other half of the villa and sharing the access, garaging and pool. There is only garaging for 1 car within the property, any other car has to be parked outside. The living space is very good with immediate access to one of the 3 terraces. The 3 main bedrooms are spacious but would not suit very well if the party was composed of 4 couples. I believe that it is normal practice if the bedroom can be a twin or a double that for a couple the bed should be made up as a double and not with 2 sets of single sheets. The bedroom we stayed in, the double with the single beds put together, had no mirror. I wish we had asked about additional housekeeping. There was no information when we arrived about this as an option. I would have gladly paid for 2 hours of housekeeping per day. The only cleaning was of the pool twice per week and of the outside terraces once whilst we were there. I would expect if staying for 2 weeks that the linen would be changed on the beds after a week and I would expect linen of a local hotel standard. We have stayed in the past in several of the local hotels. The villa has excellent electronic shutters and there is detailed advice regarding using the shutters to keep the villa cool. I am not sure in high season how effective this would be without ceiling fans or air conditioning. There are small electric fans available in the house. There is WiFi but it is very limited and makes life very difficult if you have to stay connected to your own business, which unfortunately was the case for one of my sons. We are happy to choose to escape social media, but business availability is often part of modern life. We had a very good stay in an area that we know well and love. We wish Catherine and her family many more years of enjoying their family home.

Relaxing family holiday
A lovely place for a 3 generation family stay. Probably the best villa we've stayed in. Lots of basics provided, pool great, views outstanding and very understated support from Catherine next door. 10 mins walk to the beach and similar to the lighthouse. We visited for a week, having visited the area on and off for 37 years. We walked our favourite walk to north along the coast and visited our favourite botanical gardens, but most of all we enjoyed relaxing with our daughters family - on the beach or on one of the villa terraces.

Lovely Villa
My wife and I stayed here with 4 grown up kids. In a great position, 10 minute walk into LaFranc, with lots of restaurants. Been in the same family for years and feels like a home rather than a characterless rental. Loads of outdoor space with three private terraces and although the owner shares the pool we hardly saw her.

Idyllic views of the Mediterranean with lovely beach a short walk away
The marvellous unobstructed views of the Mediterranean make the stay at Villa Esmeralda quite wonderful. Truly unique. Llafranc has a lovely sandy cove beach with numerous outside dining options. The newly installed boardwalk just adds to the small town charm. There is a lovely rock outcrop near the house from which the kids loved to jump into the sea. Just bring waterproof sandals or watersocks. Catherine who lives next door ensured a tranquil stay and no impact from her family with the shared pool. It really did feel likely nobody next door. Catherine has ensured the house has all the amenities one could use during a stay. We do recommend the 2 hour boat tour of the local coves which may inspire renting a small boat to explore later on during the week. Multiple years of renting houses in Spain, but Villa Esmeralda has risen to the top of our list. We shall endeavor to return next year.
