About this property

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.

Fabulous in every respect
Great host, and a wonderfully secluded property. Have been to Llafranc for 15 years and this was easily my best stay due to marvelous Villa Esmeralda. Hope I can come back some day!

Très belle villa, vue exceptionnelle
Vue et emplacement exceptionnels, en première ligne face à la mer, 10 min à pied du centre du village de Llafranc. Très propre et fonctionnelle. Notre Hôte Catherine nous a bien accueilli, très disponible pour répondre à nos demande et nous conseiller sur ce qu'il y a à voir et les restaurants aux alentours. Merci pour ce séjour très agréable et reposant.

Viva Esmeralda
Esmeralda, villa juchée sur son promontoire face à cette Méditerranée dont les flots se parent d’émeraude et dont l’accueil est propice aux rêves d’Odyssée. C’est dans cette demeure en espaliers, sur l’une des nombreuses terrasses ou dans sa fabuleuse piscine, que nous sommes venus nous ressourcer. Esmeralda est bien une pierre devenue rare, de celle que l’on se transmet, dont les propriétaires vous conteront son histoire. Propriétaires charmants prompts à vous partager les bonnes adresses. Esmeralda, un charme fou dont nous aurons plaisir à revoir. A bientôt belle émeraude.

About the host

Hosted by Catherine Halley

Host profile image
We are the 4th generation of the same family in this house. We try to maintain this atypical villa, so the 6th generation would still be able to enjoy it.

Why they chose this property

We celebrated the 50th anniversary of the villa. My parents and grandparents built it; 6 generations of this family have passed and are still passing their holidays in this house. We handle it with great care in order to renovate, maintain, and improve it whenever possible. The house was designed by Barcelonese architect Rodriguez who, while following the construction works, discovered, described and launched Ampurias Bravas as 'The Venice of the Costa Brava'. We cannot do otherwise than maintain this villa, show to others this extraordinary site, and to highlight this so captivating region. And to reveal the village of Llafranc, so typical and well preserved, in this wonderful region.

What makes this property unique

Some of the tenants have shouted "it's magic" and "this villa is magic!" Its comfort allows all generations to feel well here and to enjoy the passing boats, the swimming pool and the exceptional view from all rooms.
