Can Canet de Santa Pellaia

Can Canet is a restored farmhouse turned holiday residence. On a hill, the masia has superb views to the Medas Islands, the sea, and the rolling countryside. If you like peace, in a house where rustic charm meets modern convenience; spacious, airy rooms and bedrooms; if you like walks, swimming, tennis, or table tennis; starry nights, nature, and the great Costa Brava environment -sea, golf, cycling, art, food, wine, cava, restaurants- .. you will love Can Canet.

The house retains its elegant rustic catalan character with high-ceilings, chandelliers, and sun-lit rooms. The atmosphere of the house is welcoming, with lots of places to sit, and very large windows on to the beautiful valley and hills around it. This is a happy house where a large family (half Spanish, half English, 6 children in total with now their children as well) have enjoyed their vacation for many years.

Downstairs there are 2 lounges, 2 spacious halls, 2 staircases, a very large -completely equipped- kitchen, and utility room with toilet. Downstairs, there is also an en-suite double bedroom. Connected to the kitchen is the large porch -19m long- with outside dining and sitting areas, barbecue and games areas with views down to the Mediterranean sea.

Upstairs, there are another 5 bedrooms available: 2 are en-suite, 2 rooms share a large bathroom (with shower and bathtub) in between, so are perfect for a family, and the other bedroom has its own bathroom. Available separately (not included in the price) is an appartment with a kitchenette / lounge, double bedroom and ensuite. (Perfect for couples with very young babies or nannies, we have found). All the bedrooms are separated by thick walls, or large spaces, so there is total privacy.

The pool includes a pool house with shower / toilet / fridge, and close to it is the tennis court, surrounded by 400 acres of the unique landscape of mediterranean oak, cork, pine and strawberry trees, with lovely paths to explore. One of the paths takes you to Santa Pellaia, a tiny set of houses and Church, with glorious views.

Whilst the propetry stands on a hill in the protected area of the Gavarres, it is only 4.6km away from Cassá de la Selva, a small town offering all conveniences. From Cassá, it is less than 30 minutes to the Costa Brava seaside, or to Girona -whether its to the High speed train station, local airport or lovely city itself-, and 1hour away from Barcelona.
