What most visitors to Costa Brava look for is a taste of the “Wild Coast.” Situated at the confluence of four rivers, with panoramic views of the Spanish Pyrenees and the mild waters of the turquoise Mediterranean, this coast is one of the most scenic in the world. Dotted with mysterious coves and caves, quiet inlets and windswept cliffs, this stretch of coastline has long been celebrated in art and literature.

Specially developed to cater to the huge influx of visitors from France and the UK, Costa Brava has been a tourist hub since the 1950s. This has led to setting up of thousands of rentals along this coast and it's not difficult to find one to suit you, provided you put in some time and patience.

Current trends are seeing more and more travelers who prefer the rental option to the standard hotel or resort accommodation. It gives them an opportunity to experience the “real” Spain, live like the locals, it also gives much more flexibility and relaxation and more than anything, it's a great cost-savings option. Rentals may include apartments, condos, overnight or weekend places, mountain-shelters, country ...
... estates, villas, farm-houses, cottages in the many fishing-villages, refurbished monasteries and convents, medieval castles or stately mansions, with a range of budgets to choose from. You can even get great deals on off-season or early bird bookings, discounts for repeats, flight plus transportation or car rental deals, etc.

The term “villa” may refer to anything from a lean-to shack on a beach, to a portion of someone's house, a cliff-top castle, luxury residence with movie-star amenities, glamorous town-houses or budget sharing accommodation for twenty people. You need to double-check before you sign up. If you're booking on the Net, make sure you get some good pics of kitchen, baths and living areas. Ensure that the owner has all the necessary permissions/licenses/insurance etc before you commit.

With villa rentals in Costa Brava, you're never very far from a beach, river or mountain! This stretch of coastline has more than 100 Blue Flag beaches, facilities for deep-sea diving, snorkeling, glass-bottom boat trips, water-sports, surfing, kayaking etc. The four rivers which meet here offer white-water rafting, river-boat trips, canoeing and hiking/walking/trekking along the river-banks.

The mountains are great for a variety of adventure sports including climbing, rappelling, mountain-biking, walks and camping. There are hundreds of medieval monasteries and typical Catalan houses where you can sample local wines, meats and honey along with fresh fruit and cheeses. Many villa rentals offer tours which will take you through these fascinating byways of Spanish culture and tradition. Art, painting, sketching tours, culinary trips, horse-riding, literary tours, music and sculpture based holidays, are all available. When you're with a large group, this is a great option, since every member can enjoy the holiday in their own way.
