Villa "Between sky and sea" | Villa in Palafrugell

As a child, when I was coming from Paris to spend my two months of summer holidays in Calella (my mother is from this village), I felt like I was in paradise. Leaving this place was always a wrench. Today I live there all year round (when I'm not travelling...which I often do) and I still have that privileged feeling of being, in this house, in paradise.
In fact, on the heights of Calella de Palafrugell, one of the most beautiful seaside villages, is located, in a small dead-end street (therefore very quiet), the villa ENTRE CIEL ET MER, a house built in 1978 by my parents on the highest hill of Calella's seaside (100 m above sea level). With a surface area of 180 M2, it was built on two floors and completely renovated in 2017 and 2018. The villa has the peculiarity and the unique chance to have a double view: on the sea but also on the green countryside with impressive sunsets.
During its renovation, I wished to highlight the extraordinary potential of this house, choosing to enlarge the windows and to put only one pane of glass per window, making each one a living tableau, changing according to the time of day and the mood of the weather. I also chose not to install the air conditioning because it has a detrimental impact on health but also on the environment because it is responsible for the increase in greenhouse gases. On the other hand, there are very beautiful ceiling fans in each room and in the living room, which are very efficient and extremely noiseless. This villa is perfect for one or two families. Ideally for 6 people but can accommodate up to 8 people.
• On the ground floor you will find:
- An entrance hall
- A TV lounge/library. This room, full of photo books, has a flat-screen TV, fixed on an articulated arm that can be watched from the sofa or in bed. This sofa can be transformed, if necessary, into a double bed (1m40 wide), with a very high quality bed, with a view of the garden and the countryside.
- There is a large open-plan kitchen overlooking the dining room and the garden. The induction hob is located on the central island facing the dining room, allowing you to cook while being with family or friends.
- A dining room with a large table for 6 or 8 people.
- A large living room separated from the dining room by a fireplace with glasses on both sides. It gives access to a large terrace.
- The terrace which in the summer (and often even out of season) allows us to eat outside on a table for 8/10 people with, always, a splendid view of the sea and the countryside.
- A shower/toilet room.
- On the 1st floor with a oak parquet flooring:
- A work desk with a breathtaking view of the sea.
- A bedroom with 2 beds (90cm wide each) that can be transformed into a 180cm wide double bed. This room offers an exceptional view of the sea.
- A bedroom with a 140 cm wide matrimonial bed, with its small private terrace overlooking the garden and the countryside.
- A shower/toilet room for these two bedrooms.
- A suite with its private shower room. The bed in the centre of the room faces two large windows, one with a magnificent view of the sea and the other of the countryside. In the centre of these 2 windows a delightful bathtub offers the possibility of a moment of relaxation in front of the beauty of nature. A gas fireplace insert that gives a romantic atmosphere to the room. A sliding bay window gives access to a large private terrace with 2 deck chairs for an afternoon of reading or a romantic aperitif.
• In the 800 m2 Mediterranean garden, with its olive trees, cork oaks and its umbrella pine, which fortunately withstood the storm Gloria in January 2020 :
- A beautiful paved terrace with a large antique round marble table for 6/8 people. And garden furniture offering moments of relaxation to read a good book accompanied by the song of crickets and cicadas, or to have an aperitif during a magnificent sunset or under a light garland offering romantic evenings. The outdoor lighting, like the swimming pool, is switched on automatically at around 9pm and off at 1am.
• A 12.50m X 3m swimming pool that allows you to go for real lengths for those who really love to swim.
• At the foot of the house you have the possibility to park two cars.
• Please note that next to the garage (so under the house) there is a small flat, totally independent from the house, with an entrance opposite to that of the villa, in which my cousin Victor lives who is responsible for maintaining the garden and the swimming pool. As well as watching over the house (even though the area is extremely safe), he will be happy, if necessary, to respond to any queries you may have if a problem should arise in the house. During the rentals his discretion will be such that you will not even notice his presence.
• From the house you can go down in 10 minutes, by the typical stairs of the village, to the Golfet beach, the closest beach to the house, still wildly beautiful and somewhat far from the centre of the small village of Calella de Palafrugell. You can continue on foot, following the path along the seaside, which is very protected and fortunately spared by the concreting. You can admire the pine trees balancing on the rocky cliffs that surround the many small coves with translucent waters. On one side you will go to Calella (30 min), formerly a fishing village, considered to be one of the most beautiful places in Catalonia, with its white houses, its labyrinth of cobbled streets and its wooden fishing boats called "menorquinas". And on the other you can go to the Castell beach (1h40 walk under the pine trees) located at the foot of a small archaeological site of an Iberian village dating from the 6th century BC.
