Oozing charm and character, this wonderful Renaissance-style villa enjoys a unique and privileged location in Aigua Blava, one of the most unspoilt, scenic and exclusive enclaves along this dramatic coastline. Situated just a 10 minute walk from the tiny harbour of Fornells and the virgin beach of Platja Fonda, this Begur holiday villa is set in very private, manicured grounds with palm trees, soaring cypress trees and beds of scented lavender. Shading the poolside pergola a magnificent bougainvillea, bursting with colour, cascades down from the ceramic balustrades adding the final touch to what is a truly classical Mediterranean garden.

This stunningly picturesque stretch of coastline is renowned for the individuality and exclusivity of its properties and this villa is a fine example that will not fail to impress. Its exquisite interior exudes quality and elegance through a pleasing mix of antiques, hand painted furniture, subtle pastel shades and carefully chosen paintings. A sweeping staircase leads the way to a landing with a dainty minstrel gallery from which the bedrooms are accessed. Furnished and decorated with the same impeccable taste that features throughout the rest of the house, each room opens onto a beamed covered terrace that runs the length of the house and offers magnificent vistas across the bay to the sandy cove beyond. 

Downstairs, a series of arched patio doors allow light to flood into the warm and inviting living/dining area from where guests can absorb uninterrupted views of the vivid turquoise waters of the sea below. They also provide access to the outdoor terrace that flanks the property's impressive 15m pool, alongside which a spacious sunroom comes complete with armchairs, sofa and CD player and is the perfect spot to relax with a favourite book or simply pause and appreciate the lovely surroundings. 

It is the villas close proximity to such a pretty coastline that makes its location so stunning. At the bottom of the garden, amidst lush shrubbery, a small wrought iron gate opens out onto a secluded lane from where a walk of just 10 minutes reveals the unspoilt beach of Platja Fonda in one direction and in the other, the charming harbour of Fornells, a short distance behind which three smart restaurants can be found within the graceful surroundings of the Aigua Blava hotel. The adjacent coves of Malaret and Port de ses Orats are perfect for snorkelling. 

With beaches and rocky inlets so close to hand and a choice of excellent restaurants just a few minutes away, you may feel no need to venture further. However, a drive of just 5 minutes takes you to Begur, a charming bustling town crowned with an impressive hilltop castle, whilst Aigua Blava beach is just 1.5km away and is the ideal place to relax at the waters edge whilst enjoying grilled fresh fish accompanied with a glass of chilled white wine.
