Villa Ramon is located on the Costa Brava, near Blanes, just 64 kilometers (40 miles) north of Barcelona (just under 1 hour by car). Excellent train service and good roads put all of Spain and southern France within easy reach. This spectacular 5,000 square foot villa was built in 1994. All of its rooms are air-conditioned and heated. The villa is set in a hillside pine grove, in a community of twelve homes with 24-hour security. Residents may use the clubhouse and facilities, including an Olympic-sized pool, tennis courts, and a restaurant on the beach. This beach is one of the more quiet and secluded on the Costa Brava. The Costa Brava is a rugged, bold and wild coast north of Barcelona to Spain that captivated Salvador Dali, Picasso and Chagall.. Sports such as biking, scuba diving, cliff climbing, and hiking are available.. The botanical garden, Jardi Botanic Mar I Murtra, is spectacularly located above the cliffs with over 7,000 species of Mediterranean and tropical plants. La Bisbal, a nearby town, is known for its colorful pottery, tiles and antiques. Wonderful restaurants abound. For instance the fish restaurant in Blanes is outstanding. At 5 pm, you can watch the fishermen come in with their catch. The famous Torres vineyards are nearby and well worth a visit. Ground floor: a garage for two cars and elevator stop. The elevator makes 3 stops - one to the garage, one to the main floor and one to a master bedroom with bathroom en suite, so people with walking problems will have access. El Marinero (sleeps 2): This studio suite is upstairs from the garage and is decorated with long banquettes, creating the feeling of being on a ship. There is a queen-sized bed, satellite TV and music system, full bath, and a compact kitchen. Two windows overlook the sea. First floor is the common area for everyone. The pool area on the first floor is backed by a 500 sq. foot living/dining room, kitchenette, fireplace and bathroom. A 15 x 30 foot tiled swimming pool offers unobstructed views of this lovely part of the Mediterranean Sea. Second floor Monet (sleeps 4): This level has two bedrooms with queen-sized beds. Both bedrooms have full marble bathrooms en suite. The kitchen is ultra modern, with marble countertops and every imaginable appliance and gadget.. The living room, comfortably decorated with Spanish antiques, has a fireplace and satellite TV. A large glass door opens onto a patio where comfortable wooden chairs invite you to sit and enjoy the spectacular view in the sun or shade because of the electrically-operated awining. Third floor Hortensia (sleeps 2): Up a spiral staircase is a gracious suite with a king-sized bed, fireplace, large satellite TV, and full marble bathroom with sunken Jacuzzi and two sinks. Guests have use of the kitchen cabinet in the common sitting area adjacent to the pool. Third floor Linda (sleeps 2, 550 sq ft.): This suite has a king bed, fireplace, large bathroom with jacuzzi, separate shower and a full kitchen/dining area and sofa, as well as a full-length balcony with table and chairs and awning. The view is of the sea and coast. The friendly, helpful owner lives nearby and is fluent in English. He is happy to greet the guests at the airport and can provide airport pickup, tours, tour information and sightseeing in his native Catalunya. He provides start-up supplies such as bottled water, bread, cheese, eggs, and of course, champagne. Guests love him!
