Apartments for rent in Tossa de Mar

The charming beach resort of Tossa De Mar is one of the quieter resorts of the Costa Brava, situated in Girona Province 100km south of the French border and approximately 88km north of Barcelona. More humble in size than its livelier neighbour Lloret de Mar (less than a 20-minute car journey away) it boasts crystal clear waters, beautiful sheltered coves, a wealth of historic remains and 14km of gold sand. Like many of the resorts along the Costa Brava, Tossa de Mar was originally a small, typical Catalonian fishing town, now transformed into a thriving tourist town with a bustling centre, beautiful old quarter, modern promenade and world-class beaches to let your hair down on.

With a coastline surrounded by lush greenery, rugged mountains and fertile valleys, Tossa de Mar's idyllic landscape is ideal for exploring. If you're feeling adventurous, take a guided walk along Cami Ronda coastal path stretching all the way from neighbouring Blanes to Portbou and Verdon Regional Park, or hire a bike and discover the hidden gems of the coast. The town's main beach, Plata Gran, is a horseshoe-shaped stretch of golden sand, scattered with colourful fishing boats. Here you can enjoy an abundance of water sports, or simply relax and take in the views of 12th century La Vila Vella Castle, standing 173m above sea level. Boat excursions are a great way to see neighbouring resorts like Blanes and Calella, along the Costa del Mareseme and its 50km coastline of beaches.

In the evenings, dine alfresco at one of the restaurants and bars along the busy promenade, where you'll find all kinds of dishes from traditional tapas and paella to woodfire pizza. Take a stroll down the old town Vila Vella; the last medieval town of the Costa Brava, with its fortified walls, ancient ruins, museum, winding cobbled lanes and spectacular views of the Mediterranean. For a livelier nightlife scene, head to the clubs and bars of Tossa de Mar, a short car or bus journey away along the coast. Our apartments in Tossa de Mar put you at the heart of it all, with luxury rentals with private pools, family-friendly apartments by the beach and holiday homes near the golf.
