Description Spanish Altitude: Tamariu

Just a 290-metre walk from the seafront of the authentic fishing hamlet of Tamariu, this spot in Girona is a hidden jewel of Spain's northeastern coast. And with a private swimming pool and terrace equipped with an outdoor lounge and table tennis – guests can hang out in seclusion here too. The highlight of the home is the sociable living set-up of the sunbathing terrace that spills out from the indoor lounge area and includes an outdoor covered kitchen and bar. What could be better than rustling up homemade cocktails after a day on the beach? You'll find several shops in the village, plus seafront restaurants alongside boat and kayak rentals on the sandy beach.

Home truths:
*While the village centre is only 290 metres away, so reachable on foot, we recommend hiring a car to explore other areas – there’s free parking in the garage for two cars.
*The pool may only be available to use between April and October – please speak to your host for the exact opening and closing dates.
*The home is spread across two floors without a lift, and there are twenty-two steps from the street level up to this home – so it may not be suited to those with limited mobility.
