With large windows or patio doors in every room, the traditional interiors of Villa Ocells are filled with light, creating tranquil living spaces for you to relax in. The décor is traditional throughout, with classic light fittings, pretty tiling and homely furnishings, knitting together to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Entering on the ground floor, the main living space, and heart of the home is an open plan living and dining room. The round dining table has room for four guests to sit together, with sofas arranged around a fireplace, perfect for cosy evenings indoors in the cooler months of the year. Glass doors slide open at one end of the room to the villa’s tranquil balcony, a sun trap, this simple piece of outdoor space offer views out across the treetops and surrounding properties, with the mountains rising in the distance. At the opposite end of the room, a door leads through to the villa’s well-equipped traditional kitchen. There are two bedrooms on this floor, a double and a twin, both with direct access to the terrace, perfect for any early risers that want to stroll outside the moment they awake, enjoying the glow of the morning sun. The lower ground floor offers two further good-sized bedrooms, a double and a twin, alongside a shower room for them to share.
Outside, you will quickly find our favourite part of this property! The traditional built-in barbecue, with its timber shelter and attractive tiling, sits in a sheltered spot of the garden. With an adjacent dining table, you can enjoy long afternoons in the sun, firing up the barbecue to grill fresh and local ingredients, pairing the meal with a glass or two of Spanish wine – is there anything better! Kid’s will love the villa’s private swimming pool, and we’re sure your whole group will love the private outdoor space, soaking up every last minute in the Costa Brava sunshine!

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa OcellsVilla Ocells sits in a quiet spot, just 4 km from the lovely and peaceful Cala Canyelles beach and 7 km from the centre of Tossa de Mar. Close to all the renowned, beautiful attractions, the Costa Brava has to offer; this is a great base for exploring a fabulous area!
The Costa Brava’s rugged coastline stretches from Blanes to the French Border, scattered with golden sandy beaches, quiet coves and energetic seaside towns. The area becomes more and more popular each year for its relaxing atmosphere, delicious food and even tastier wine! The summer months see this beautiful part of the world bustling with activity, the streets alive with local festivals and music performances and the beaches busy with visitors. In the winter months, the Mediterranean climate means it is still a great spot to visit, with a much quieter and more tranquil atmosphere to enjoy!
Cala Canyelles beach can be recognised by its coarse white sand and crystal-clear seawater. Visitors can rent parasols and deck chairs as well as pedal boats, parasailing, water-skiing and canoeing – which will certainly keep kids and the more playful adults entertained! The beachfront restaurant serves up delicious fresh fish and huge paellas that cannot be missed.
Tossa de Mar is a beautiful walled medieval town, unlike anywhere you may have visited before. A little quieter than the busy neighbouring town of Lloret de Mar, this historic town appeals to families, couples and friends who want to immerse themselves in a little more of the area’s history and culture. The maze of narrow cobbled streets takes you on an adventure between the charming old houses, just make sure you bring your camera along! The old town (Vila Vella) is located within the medieval walls, and you can venture along the walls themselves, enjoying the breath-taking views of the city and the Sea. Brimming with tapas bars, restaurants and shops, Tossa de Mar has everything you could need, and the beaches are as beautiful as you might expect, with such an attractive town as the backdrop. You can even head out on a boat trip, capturing this striking seaside town from a different perspective!

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesTraditional and homely, the atmosphere of Villa Ocells is well suited to family groups. Albeit, the highlight for families must be a fantastic location in the heart of the Costa Brava.
Boasting two double bedrooms and two twin rooms, the layout can accommodate most groups, with kids sharing the twin bedrooms and older children enjoying the privilege of their own double room. A cot and a highchair can, of course, be provided, but please check the T&C’s for details. The living and dining room is open plan and spacious, offering room for your whole family to gather together, playing games, watching TV and planning out a holiday worth of adventures! Outside, kids are sure to love the private swimming pool, and a safety gate on the stairs leading down to it keeps little ones safe. The barbecue and outdoor dining area also prove popular with our younger guests, with the novelty of cooking and dining outdoors rarely waring off!
Situated a short drive from Cala Canyelles beach and the walled town of Tossa de Mar, Villa Ocells puts you in a great spot for enjoying the best of this area. The beach is family-friendly, with white sandy shores and blue-flag rated seawater, as well as parasols to rent giving your kids some shade from the afternoon sun – it can get scorching!
Tossa de Mar is a paradise for little ones, with winding cobbled streets, fortress walls and mysterious buildings to explore! If you have a pram, the narrow streets can be very difficult to navigate, so it may be best to avoid the old town or leave the stroller at the villa that afternoon. The town's array of restaurants is well versed in catering to kids, with special menus and highchairs in many of them, making meals fun and relaxed for the whole family.
A great day of entertainment can be found at Water World, a water park, less than a 15-minute drive from the villa. Known as the best waterpark on the coastline and one of the biggest in Europe, it cannot be missed! With an Olympic sized swimming pool, myriad of slides and lazy rivers, there is a whole day of fun to be had, even adults will be laughing their way down each slide!
