Casa Guillola: Costa Brava area

Without doubt Casa Guillola is one of the most exclusive rental properties on the market along the whole of the Costa Brava. There's various reasons why the house qualifies for these lofty claims. There's the gorgeous undisturbed turquoise sea views, the large private swimming pool and jacuzzi but more than anything is the privileged and very special location with private access to the pristine little beach of Cala Guillola.

Cadaques is probably our favourite coastal town on the Costa Brava. Home to many well-known artists throughout the years and where Dali has left his indelible mark. There's a bohemian air to the place as well as many very good restaurants to choose from. However, Cadaques can get rather crowded during the summer months. Casa Guillola offers a sanctuary from the crowds and a place where to truly relax. Perfect for those seeking privacy yet only a 10 minute ride (by boat or car) from the town.

Within a plot of over 15,000m2. Built in the 1980's the seven bedroom house itself has a floor space of over 500m2. Within the grounds and close to the entrance of the estate a housekeeper lives in his own self contained house and takes care the garden and pool maintenance as well as being on call if needed. There's two car parking options; space for four or five cars close to the main entrance of the house and a new larger car parking space a little further from the house for up to 15 cars.

The house is spread over various levels and the main living areas are on the upper floor. The main salon is dominated by the huge open fireplace with its conical chimney hood and surrounded by sofas. Also in the salon is a wooden dining table and chairs and access through sliding glass doors to the upper outdoor terrace. A cute spiral staircase leads up to what could be described as a teenager or young adult hideaway. On one side is a single bed with extra pull-out single and adjacent bathroom with shower and sea views. On the other side above the fireplace is a lounge area with sofas, bookcases, a LP collection and sea views. Just off from the salon is a WC. Leading through from the salon is the fully equipped rustic style kitchen with breakfast table for four. The adjacent pantry contains a double stainless steel fridge, freezer, ice maker and oven.

From the kitchen there is access to a courtyard with table and chairs for 10 people. This area also has an automatic awning to offer shade from the sun if required. This area also has a BBQ and a functioning old style bread oven. This courtyard leads to the upper outdoor terrace and garden. Laundry room.

The adjacent wing contains the remaining six bedrooms spread over three levels. On the upper level is the master bedroom with wonderful unobstructed sea views. The bathroom has a tub and separate shower, twin sinks and bidet. The middle floor has three ensuite double bedrooms two of which have direct access to an outdoor terrace which in turn leads to the garden and pool. The lower level has a ensuite double with direct access to the garden and the remaining bedroom is a large multi-purpose room ideal for children/teenagers. The room has five single beds which can be moved around to suit needs, sofas and a projector. While all the other bathrooms in the house date from the 80's this bathroom is a new modern addition. The room also has access to a courtyard with table tennis table and gardens.

The large pool is immaculately kept and has a fun integrated jacuzzi. The pool area also has a summer kitchen with large fridge/freezer, ice machine, dishwasher and small vitro ceramic hob as well as a professional outdoor planxa. There's also two toilets and a shower.

The grounds contain many seating areas many of which many are illuminated. A path leads down to the beach where a private gate gives direct access to the beach itself. A wooden hut contains beach equipment including a paddle board and two kayaks which are for guests use. There is also a outdoor shower located here with hot (heated by solar panel) and cold water.
