Es Niu - Begur-Villa- Magnificent sea views, private pool.
Villa with 2 Bedrooms, Sleeps 4, Garden, Swimming Pool
A detached villa in an elevated position with wonderful views of sea and countryside. Aiguafreda is a few minutes by car with diving centre and waterfront restaurants. Sandy beaches are just a little further away.
Newly refurbished to a very good standard, the villa has surrounding grounds and a large swimming pool with terrace. The living area leads to a dining terrace where you can enjoy the views and peace of this beautiful region. The villa is approached by private drive and is 4km from historic BEGUR with its endless choice of superb restaurants, bars, cafes and shops.
The bay of Aiguafreda is just 1.4km from the villa and the following extract from The Sunday Times Travel section, 9 March 2008, describes the bay perfectly.
This article listed Aiguafreda as one of the top ten beaches in the world!
"My favourite beach is called Cala d’Aiguafreda and it doesn’t have sand. It has flat rocks as warm as electric blankets and tiny rock pools that make perfect wine coolers. Wrapped in pine woods and sheltered from the tramontane wind, it smells intoxicatingly of ozone and resin and is lapped by waters as clear as Bombay Sapphire. That’s nothing special in these parts. The beaches of the Baix Emporda, as this part of the Costa Brava is known, belong in a superleague of their own; but, for my money, tiny Aiguafreda is number one. That’s due in no small part to the fabulous Hostal Sa Rascassa, located in heavenly isolation a few steps from the beach. Owned by the ebullient Oscar Gorriz, this simple, stylish place (recently voted one of Spain’s best decorated hotels) with a candlelit open-air restaurant, a beach bar and a Wednesday night music club, is a diamond set in an emerald forest beside a sapphire sea”. [Chris Haslam]

Local activities in and around Begur, Costa Brava/Catalonia
Tennis and horseriding- 5 mins drive. Beach activities, snorkelling, diving- 10min drive. The beaches in this region are superb. All sandy with blue flags and mostly a shallow entrance making it safe for little ones. There is rarely overcrowding as there is such a choice of beaches and some are relatively unknown by tourists. This area attracts many spaniards from Barcelona and other parts of Spain, many of whom have holiday homes here.
Go-karting for kids and adults-10mins drive. Water park- 20mins drive. Zoo- 10mins drive. Cycling- bykes can be hired in Palafrugell. Golf- many golf courses within 10-20 mins drive. The house manual gives details of all the courses in the local vicinity. Sailing- 10mins drive. There is a sailing club at Sa Riera and kayaks and pedallos for hire. Kayaks also at Calella.
Cultural activities- all over the region: Figueres- Dali's museum- 40mins drive. Medieval towns- 15-20 mins drive- Peratallada- a must to visit. Restaurants- too numerous to mention. Begur has a very good choice as do the coastal villages. Shops- an interesting selection of very good shops selling clothes, jewellery, etc. Food- excellent speciality shops in Begur for fish and meat plus very good supermarkets.
Walking- this is wonderful walking country, especially out of season when it is not so hot. The tourist office has a map showing popular walks. Skiing- within 3 hours you can be on the slopes in Andorra. Night life- plenty if you want it but there is not a string of discos here. Mainly late night cellar bars with music, some with dancing. There is a club in Begur and one just outside, not far from the villa but well away from everything and everyone! The main square has entertainment in the high season with a mixture of traditional and modern music and dancing. Wonderful to just sit and watch!
Leaving Begur towards Sa Riera and taking the signs to Aiguafreida.
