Villa Zion

Hands up those who are looking for a beautiful, south-facing villa with a private pool, for the whole family to enjoy?

Villa Zion, a pretty terracotta villa set in charming gardens, looks out over incredible hillside vistas and could be just the ticket for that dreamy breakaway. And, the fact that it's only a short walk from the wonderful sandy beach of Tamariu, only adds to its allure.

Set up for an easy-breezy way of living, this four-bedroom holiday home offers stylish and spacious accommodation. With a number of inviting double bedroom and twin bedroom options, there's also a fifth room, which can be used as a bedroom, or even a playroom for the kids. And, with four bathrooms thrown in, there'll be no morning arguments!

Boasting a cosy living area with an impressive fireplace, it's ideal for relaxing, but those floor-to-ceiling windows, which give you direct access to the garden will have you stepping out in no time. The attractive gardens are a real highlight of the villa, not only for their personal charm but the generous swimming pool and attractive gardens surrounding it. Take time to soak up that glorious Spanish sun - all day!

Mealtimes are also sure to be a breeze when you're dining al fresco. Just get that BBQ on, and the children may just about pull themselves away from the pool. Or, fancy a bite to eat out and about. There's plenty of restaurants, cafe and bars around Tamariu - perfect after a day spent on the beach snorkelling, kayaking or just splashing about on the shore. Alternatively, you can head for nearby Begur - a medieval village boasting narrow streets, lined with Moorish houses and a crumbling castle at its very top.

Villa Zion is secluded and peaceful, making it easy to get that much sought-after 'quality time' with the family. But, head out to the nearby Costa Brava (wild coast), and you'll certainly get your fix of fun and adventure.

Location

According to theBritish Telegraphnewspaper, the beach atTamariu ranks as one of the best beaches on the Costa Brava. Embraced by pine-clad headlands, the horseshoe-shaped beach isvery pretty, family-friendly and sheltered.

Just behind the beach is thepedestrian promenade,where there are some cafes, restaurants and beach gear shops. Parents can happily while away a little time in the shade, sipping whatever they fancy, with their children, only yards away from them, play safely on the sand.

It probably won't be the first time you've heard of it, in this neck of the woods, but Tamariu wasoriginally a small fishing village. It has definitely retained some of its charm and identity, and its beautiful south facing sandy bay offers a romantic destination for lovers. It's also a good choice for families seeking a quieter Costa Brava resort.

The activity in the village will peak in August, but as yet there aren't any English bars or breakfasts. Neither are their high-rise hotels on the landscape, only a blend of greens, blues and sandy shades with pretty whitewashed buildings in the foreground.
