Casa Avellana is located in one of the most desirable areas in the Costa Brava, just a short drive from the charming town of Palafrugell and fifteen minutes from the famous beaches of Calella de Palafrugell, Llafranc and to name a few. The nearest shops and amenities are just a five- minute drive away, and the nearest airport is -Costa Brava Airport (46 km).

Calella de Palafrugell and Llafranc, which are just a ten-minute drive from the villa, are bigger towns with lots of small beaches and calas to explore. The cobbled streets, shops and delicious restaurants along the coastline means you can go back and back again. Tamariu, a fifteen-minute drive, is the most charming small village, featuring quaint white little houses surrounding a calm cala with virtually no waves, so ideal for the little ones.

There are many other prestigious calas and beaches just a twenty-minute drive away, such as , Aiguafreda, Sa Tuna, Platja Fonda, Fornells and Aiguablava. Guests can snorkel to their hearts’ content, or hire a boat and explore some of the nearby coves. There are also plenty of lovely restaurants to choose from, where guests can enjoy delicious seafood and potter about the charming village shops.

That being said, Costa Brava is not just about the beaches! We strongly recommend visiting some of the inland towns which are just picture perfect: Peratallada, a fifteen-minute drive away, known for its beautiful old stone buildings, rutted stone streets and passageways, and Begur, a twenty-minute drive away. Famous for its cobbled streets, boutique shops and proximity to some of the prestigious calas, Begur is overflowing with Spanish charm. There are of course the ruins of the Castell de Begur which makes for an interesting hike. Begur is conveniently located within a slew of local Spanish towns and villages giving families and explorers plenty of things to do.
