VILLA WITH SHARED POOL IN TOSSA DE MAR (Costa Brava) FOR 10 PEOPLE Palmar sits on top of a sunny hill on the outskirts of Tossa de Mar, with that residential quiet where noise doesn't stand much of a chance. It's 236 m2 spread over two floors, designed so five bedrooms can coexist without crowding, giving a large family — or two families travelling together — their own corner. The house combines a shared living room with two independent studios on the ground floor, so there's room to gather together and also to disappear for a while. The terraced garden and the pool round off a stay that doesn't need anything more than what it already has. INSIDE THE HOUSE. On the main floor you find the living-dining room, with a large table and TV, opening directly onto the terrace. On one side, a bedroom with a double bed (150x190 cm) with access to the bathroom with tub and bidet; on the other, a second bedroom with two double beds (90x180 cm). The kitchen is spacious, custom-built, with a six-burner stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, freezer and electric coffee maker. Going down to the lower floor, a third bedroom with a double bed joins two independent studios, each with its own double bed, TV and direct access to the terrace and pool; one of them also includes a small kitchen corner. In total, the house has two full bathrooms for the ten guests. It has a washing machine, iron, free wifi, a high chair for children and a crib for babies up to two years old, though there's no heating and the two floors aren't connected on the inside. OUTSIDE. The garden is arranged in terraces that follow the slope of the hill, with outdoor furniture and a barbecue ready for summer dinners. The pool is for shared use, so you share it with other houses in the area, and parking is covered, something you'll appreciate in the middle of August on the Costa Brava. WHERE YOU ARE. You're barely two minutes on foot from the centre of Tossa de Mar, with a shop 900 metres away, a supermarket at 800, and a restaurant, bar and bakery just as close. Tossa de Mar's sandy beach is 1.5 km away and the sea, in general, 2 km. The bus stop is 800 metres away and the Blanes train station 15 km. For day trips, Waterworld is 11 km away, Marineland 17 km, the Marimurtra Botanical Garden 13 km and Pinya de Rosa 11 km; if you'd rather play golf, there's a course 15 km away. WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW. The owner doesn't accept groups of young people and the neighbourhood is particularly sensitive to noise, so quiet, considerate behaviour is expected throughout your stay. The house is designed for families, with a high chair and crib available, but keep in mind there's no heating or interior connection between floors, something worth considering depending on the time of year you travel.
