Villa de vacances à Roses

“Casa Pi” is a beautiful masia-style country house set in extensive grounds of 16,000 square meters (4 acres). You approach the house by driving along a quiet paved road serving just 5 houses which leads you through an olive grove. Then it's through the imposing gates and up a 200m long private driveway through the gardens. You will be stunned by the scale of the house with it's huge archway a full 3 floors high on the front elevation. The fully fenced swimming pool measures a generous 12m x 6m and is not overlooked by another property. The gardens slope gently away from the house and are mainly grass with mature trees around the edge and exotic palms and shrubs dotted around. A row of pine trees gives the house its name (Casa Pi means Pine House in Catalan). There is also a children's play area. From the house and gardens there are fantastic views of the Mediterranean and the Pyrenees.
Comfortably sleeping 10/12 people, with 5/6 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms (plus an additional toilet), it is ideal for 2 families sharing. There are spacious and cool reception rooms on both the ground floor and on the first floor which have antique furniture and rustic ornaments. The fully fitted kitchen with top quality appliances and a full inventory of equipment is through an arch to one side of the first floor. At the front of the house on the first floor there is a wide balcony shaded by the huge archway where you can eat overlooking the gardens and enjoy the panoramic views to the sea.
Dogs are very welcome at no extra charge and there is an enclosed area with kennels. The whole property is fenced.
Casa Pi is located approximately 1km from the traditional Catalan village of Palau Saverdera where you will find a small supermarket, butcher, bakers' and several restaurants. As it is just 4km and 4 minutes' drive to the nearest beach, 3 minutes to the nearest supermarkets, it is perfectly located to chose between a beach holiday or getting away from it all around your own pool. Roses, a beautiful seaside town with all the amenities you need, is about 5 minutes' drive away.
The surrounding countryside of the Cap de Creus National Park means you can walk for miles from the gates of the house along quiet trails to local villages, passing through olive groves and vineyards and with fabulous views all the way. A short drive takes you to the spectacular scenery to the North of the Bay of Roses, where wooded cliff walks lead to isolated coves (including the one where the world famous EL Bulli restaurant is situated), or to any part of the long sandy beach which curves around the bay from Roses to L'Escala. Historical towns and villages like Cadaques and Figueres, both linked with artist Salvador Dali, are scattered around. Also nearby are the protected nature reserves of the Aiguamolls wetlands and the Medes Islands. It is a great place for walking, cycling, birdwatching and horseriding. Watersports include kite surfing and scuba diving, and you can rent boats and jet skis with or without a license. Just 5 to 10 minutes from the villa you will find Aqua Brava water park, a go-kart track and the Empuriabrava sky diving centre. Perelada golf course is about 15 minutes by car, several others within 1 hour. In winter it is possible to ski within 2 hours driving. Located about 30 minutes from the French border.

+ plus sur Philip & Joanne Ghinn We came to Roses from England and loved the area so much we decided to buy a villa here. We completely renovated our villa, Villa Mirador, and have been renting it out in the Summer since 2009. We now also rent villas in Roses and the surrounding villages on behalf of friends.
