About this property

Large luxury home, stunning views, in green oasis, private garden, huge pool

Welcome to Maremar, our luxury Costa Brava rental in Sant Feliu de Guixols with stunning sea views - only five minutes by car (15 minutes on foot) to the beach, water sports, shops, bars and restaurants.

Imagine having 200 square metres of light and airy space for your family holiday, with two living rooms, one of which can be used as an extra bedroom with a proper, luxury bed (hidden in a wall space if not used)!

Imagine having your own gardens on two levels overlooking the sea and the coastline, with six sun loungers available for your use.

Imagine having the use of an oversized pool in a leafy oasis of calm which does not tend to get crowded (in fact, it is frequently absolutely empty) and in which you can have a proper swim, rather than just a splash about.

This is what you will find at Maremar.

At Maremar we have the best of all worlds - luxury, space, modernity, comfort, relative peace, enormous pool… but with easy access to the shops, the beachs and the rest of the Costa Brava, including the three major Salvador Dali buildings - his house, Gala's 'castle' and the Dali Museum itself.

Our beautiful, very spacious, house is set in a discreet development next to beautiful pine woods and directly overlooks the sea.

At 200 square metres of living space, it is one of the largest houses in the development, with living accommodation arranged over three storeys, and is of a high quality specification and design. It accommodates up to eight people very comfortably indeed with four bedrooms available. However, we limit occupancy to six deliberately as we want to keep Maremar comfortable and beautiful for guests. No sofa beds in the living room!

You will also be thirty seconds from the enormous swimming pool, set in landscaped gardens, with all its delights. We have never known it to be crowded and many guests comment that they have had it entirely to themselves...

The house boasts a very spacious living room with two three-seater sofas, dining area and full width glass doors leading out onto the large terrace and private gardens with their fabulous views along the coast of the Mediterranean and out to sea.

There are dining tables accommodating six people comfortably both inside and out, although, in the spring, summer and autumn (and quite a lot of winter) you will doubtless want to spend most of your time outside.

The American kitchen is modern and well equipped. It is especially good for convivial gatherings as the cook is not excluded from what is going on in the living room and beyond. We love to cook and have equipped the kitchen accordingly.

We have three double bedrooms...

The master bedroom is very large (the full width of the front of the house), with balconies overlooking the sea, the front gardens and the pine woods, and a luxurious en-suite bathroom in travertine and marble.

The second, to the rear of the house, overlooks the landscaped gardens and the woods. It is a "normal" Spanish-sized bedroom with lots of storage.

The optional 'rooftop penthouse'(!) double bedroom up on the second floor is virtually as spacious as the master bedroom and has direct access to the rooftop solarium, also looking out to sea. You can choose whether to use this as a bedroom, as another sitting room or, heaven forbid, an office!

Finally, we have a spacious twin bedroom, overlooking the gardens with two single beds.

This means that the accommodation can easily be configured to the needs of six people. So as to maintain the quality of this property, occupancy is strictly limited to six people.

All bedrooms have deep luxury mattresses, duvets and the quality of linens that we like to use ourselves.

The family bathroom has a bath and shower and there is also a separate downstairs shower room. We believe in 'fluffly' towels and have kitted out the bathrooms accordingly (but please do not use them on the beach!)

As mentioned earlier, on the second floor, there is a private solarium where you can sunbathe in seclusion, looking out to sea from time to time and saying hello to the seagulls as they go by. The solarium is off a large space which can either be configured as the 'penthouse' bedroom or as a large chill out area.

We have equipped the house for our own use. This means that we use high quality fixtures and fittings such as Bosch, Miele, Hansgrohe, Phillipe Starck etc. All rooms have been individually styled with solid oak flooring and high spec tiling etc.

We have two lawned areas, one directly off the terrace and another down some steps, past the ancient olive tree at ground level. So you are spoilt for choice of aspect when it comes to sea and coastal views. At the rear there is a wide gated drive which will take two cars easily. It is flanked by borders containing native flowers, bushes and small trees such as an almond, a fig and a tall cypress (the local symbol of welcome).

The communal pool is about 50 metres from the house and is about 20m long and six to eight metres wide (it is an unusual shape!). It is in lovely landscaped gardens with lawns (for sun bathing after a dip) and conifers.

We have a 'pool box' which contains various pool toys/games which you are welcome to use. If you like to SWIM rather than just splash about in a tiny pool, then this is the place for you! There is also a paddling area to one side of it for tiny tots.

Sant Feliu de Guixols is a mere 5 minute drive away or 15 minute stroll through the woods or along the coast road. In the summer months there is also a tourist 'train' which travels along the coast and up to the house, so you can easily get a lift down to the beach or the shops!

We have had guests who have decided to base themselves completely at the house, sun bathing, swimming and taking the occasional stroll into town, with the most exciting thing they have done being the walk down some pretty precarious steps to the bottom of the cliff and the beautiful cove below.

But if you are more adventurous or energetic there are many more things to do and see than you can cram into two or three weeks. You never have to stop!

We have internet TV plus DVD. And our high speed Wifi access means you can stream whatever entertainment you wish to your own devices. And the Bose stereo system plus books and games available have been all that we have needed for a real chill out.

The place is beautiful off season too, bringing other charms to bear such as the wild sea, the complete peace and the chance to use the fireplace in the living room. Sant Feliu's strapline is 'open all year round' and this is absolutely true with, for example, Carnival taking place in February.

In April you can hunt wild asparagus in the woods and late summer is the time for a wild variety of mushrooms.

We are close to S'Agaro, Platja d'Aro, Santa Cristina d'Aro and is close enough to, but far enough away from the big resorts of Lloret de Mar and Tossa de Mar.

We love coming to Maremar ourselves. There is really not much more we can say! So if you want a luxury holiday rental in the Costa Brava, look at Maremar!

Exceptional Property!
Our family of (4) had a wonderful time staying in this home away from home. It had everything you would need to have a relaxing vacation. The view of the sea was perfect. The location was very safe and clean. Everything we needed was a short drive (or longer walk) away. The town was fun and just vibrant enough for us. We were able to do activities during the day and have a comfortable place to relax at night. The kitchen was stocked with essentials that made cooking much easier (no need to bring your own salt and pepper! or any seasoning! :). Peter and Lucy were always available if needed and Carmen was super helpful as well. Truly a gem! Would highly recommend!

Perfect in November
We stayed 8 nights at Maremar and spent our days exploring Sant Feliu de Guixols and the villages along the Costa Brava. We loved Sant Feliu the most and could see ourselves coming back for extended stays. The home was very comfortable, clean, and nicely furnished. The location was excellent in both its proximity for walking to town and being in a quiet, private neighborhood. We spent hours on the patio in the mornings drinking our coffee and enjoying the view of the Mediterranean.

Amazing house in beautiful location
We loved this house. The views are spectacular. Peter and Lucy were such attentive hosts. Carmen the housekeeper kept the place spotless and made us very welcome. I can’t think of a better rental experience in 30 years of holiday lets. The house is very well appointed - everything worked - and Sant Feliu is a proper Spanish town - not just a tourist resort. We can’t wait to return. Ten out of ten!

Luxury family holiday home with stunning views
The house is in a beautiful setting, up on the cliffs with a breath-taking sea view. The owners have thought of every comfort - airy rooms, high quality bed linens and fluffy towels, fully equipped and spacious kitchen. The communal pool is in an idyllic green space surrounded by pine trees. It is an easy walk (downhill) into St Feliu itself, with its sandy beach, crystal clear sea and wide range of restaurants, markets and shops, and activities. Communication with the hosts was excellent, we highly recommend this holiday stay.

Fantastic!
Maremar is a fantastic place for a family holiday. The house was clean, spacious, in a great location - and with amazing views! Peter and Lucy were really helpful from start to finish, and provide a really friendly but professional service. We enjoyed exploring the local area (including a visit to the water park!), and several local beaches. We also found it easy to just relax at the house and make use of the wonderful pool. Definitely highly recommend!

Family Retreat
We loved everything about this place. The views were spectacular. The house was extremely clean and the four bedrooms and three baths provided all we needed as a family. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything one needed to cook well. Our communication with the owners could not have been better. They literally made every step as welcoming and easy as possible. Also everything functioned perfectly. And we felt fully secure. Also a great location for touring in this area. When we next return to the Costa Brava region we will definitely check this out to see if it is available. We would love to stay here again.

Practical Paradise
We spent a month at Maremar. Our only complaint is that our stay wasn't long enough. We can't wait to come back! Peter and Lucy are fabulous hosts and the property manager, Carmen, is wonderful to work with. On the practical side the home had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It's far enough from the center of towm to be peaceful but close enough to walk to the market. The location was perfect for day trips throughout the area. It's paradise! The views from the home are spectacular. San Feliu de Guixols is charming with so many places to visit and eat. We hiked for hours in the woods just outside the door. The location made it easy to travel to breathtaking destinations all along the coast and inland. We came in the off-season yet there was so much to do and see, that we were busy every day. We can't recommend Maremar and Peter and Lucy highly enough!

Beautiful house and location
We can only agree with all the other good reviews for this property. The owners couldn't have been more helpful with information and tips to make our stay enjoyable. The house is very comfortable and was clean on arrival. it is in a very quiet and peaceful spot with fantastic views along the coast. The communal pool was lovely though only two of our group were brave enough to use it in January! The town is a comfortable walk away with plenty of food shops, bars and restaurants which were all still open and busy in the winter. For our winter break this couldn't have been better - lots of walking, cycling and sightseeing. Many thanks.

Lovely apartment with a front garden and terrace located in a quiet area with direct views of the sea and adjacent to the woods. Pretty quiet and comfortable place. The house has everything necessary for life: kitchen utensils, household accessories, equipment for the beach. Control (couple) are always happy to help and very friendly. The owners of the house incredibly friendly and very responsible and helpful. Me and my family was fine. Many thanks to Peter and Lucy for all!

Warmth, Light & Space
I cannot recommend staying here enough to unwind and relax. The house itself is all light, flowing space and airiness, with good size dining areas inside and out. We loved dining al fresco with views out over the bay, and a fab terrace to sunbathe on. The pool is seconds away and has lawns surrounding it if you want to sunbathe there too. We loved the cliff walks and forest trails, and the walk down the stone stairway to the sea for snorkelling. And the wonderful views! V short drive or 20-min walk to town, which has a fabulous market for fresh fish and meats, and several wonderful wine shops, restaurants and bakeries. The house was spotless and very well equipped, and we'd definitely stay again!

Amazing views and spacious accomodations!
Having recently completed a glorious one week stay at Maremar, we were reluctant to leave. Walking in, the view of the water through the trees is amazing. It is only after you take a tour of the home that you realize you are going to be very comfortable and enjoy your stay. The kitchen is perfect for cooking, if you decide to do so, and the living area is spacious and yet cozy. The patio just outside allows for dining as well as lounging. The bedrooms and baths are luxurious and the top floor allows for additional space as well as the outside roof top patio. There is a pool associated with the complex that is beautiful, even though it was too early in the season for us to use. We highly recommend Maremar as a place to stay while in Costa Bravo.

Relaxing long awaited getaway,
It was an entirely positive experience. Peter and Lucy were very communicative and very accommodating when covid messed up our first and second dates! Carmen who looks after the villa is really good and helpful , in spite of not having a common language, we managed well. The villa is lovely, the view sublime and sea breeze refreshing. Great kitchen with everything you could need, comfortable beds and good linens. We had thought the walk into town would be ok but it was very hot so we took the car instead. Sant Feliu is a delightful town and it doesn’t feel touristy, there are some great restaurants too. We had a fantastic holiday and would really like to return one day. Thank you !

9.5 of 10!!!
We had a great stay at Maremar. The views were terriffic, the house comfortable and well maintained, the terrace was ideal for enjoying leasurely breakfasts, excellently designed shower in the master bathroom, very quiet at night, many good restaurants in town, close to the beach, Girona, and just over an hours drive to Barcelona and Camp Nou. One point to be aware of is that the house is at the top of a hill, so a car is essential. The weather was in the low 20s (Celcius) most of the time and very comfortable - and there were even a few people (Scandanavians?) swimming in the ocean. We can highly recommend staying here and even our children gave it 9.5 out of 10. Thank you, Peter and Lucy.

Great holiday home for a family or friends
Firstly, let me start by making my only critical comment - the photos of the property do not do it justice. It is larger, more spacious, well inventoried and well furnished than comes across in the pics. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Peter and Lucy we incredibly helpful whenever we reached out to them. Carmen the housekeeper was also lovely. The pool was great and we had it to ourselves most of the time - there was one day where there were 4 others using it but given the size of the pool and surrounds it still felt as though we had it to ourselves. It helps to have a car but it is not essential - it takes about 10-15 minutes to walk down through the forest to the town (did not try it by road) and a taxi fare back is about €12-15. We have added to our favourites and if we are back in the area will be looking to rebook.

Does what it says on the tin!
Lucy and Peter could not have done more to make our stay more enjoyable. There was lots of information on the house and the area, and even an info pack on Barcelona. The house, with a great outside eating area with magnificent views of the coast a few feet away, was very well equipped, comfortable and clean. The huge pool, although shared with a number of apartments, was never busy as there was the option of the beach nearby. The town of St Feliu is a gem - unlike some of the other very built up towns along this coast, no buildings over about 6 floors, lots of old character buildings, and a great daily fresh food market. There were lots of good restaurants to choose from, and although it was busy, being August, we had no problems getting a table. We would recommend this property to anyone, but both the pool and the town are particularly suited to families

DELIGHTFUL!
We have thoroughly enjoyed our restful two weeks at Maremar. We have been delighted with so many aspects of the property and resort just a few of which are: amazing view, peaceful setting yet close to delightful town of Sant Feliu de Guixols; grounds and garden well cared for containing fresh herbs, grape vines, almond and lemon tree; home full of those little essentials you haven't room to pack; kitchen cupboards full of quality cooking equipment, a good selection of teas, condiments and staples; pool accessories essential for kids and dads alike; wifi speed excellent. Thought seems to have been given to everything. Thank you Lucy, Peter and Carmen for the personal touches. Any queries we had were promptly dealt with over and above our expectations.

Lovely holiday villa
We had a great week staying at Peter and Lucy's house in early September. The house is large, extremely well equipped and tastefully decorated and furnished. Peter and Lucy were great owners; very prompt in replying to emails and texts, and the check-in process was very easy. The additional information on the website and by email was very helpful. We used the beautiful pool most days to swim. It is a large pool, big enough to do lengths, and was usually empty, or just one family there. The walk into town is an easy 15 minutes downhill, but a bit longer back up the hill. We had a car, and in the first week of September had no difficulty parking in town when we wanted to. The Costa Brava was beautiful and it was easy to reach some lovely beaches and great costal walks. The walk from Sant Pol beach to Sa Conca was stunning, and both beaches are great for food and swimming. Overall a great holiday and a perfect holiday home.

San Feliu in September
The house is lovely, well equipped for self catering, comfortable, clean and very well maintained. We were so excited when we saw it for the first time, we arrived after dark so in the morning were stunned by the views. The location is wonderful, sea views from the house’s patio, even better from the top floor and literally 4 houses down from the quiet private pool!! Being above the main town the house and area are peaceful, but it doesn't take long to be in the thick of things. The owner provided information on the house and surrounding area and was more than helpful! September is lovely, still more than warm enough to swim and the added bonus of Catalonia day and celebrations if you time it right. As for San Feliu itself, everything you want, lots of restaurants, bars shops, banks, regular markets and not overly touristy. The beach is spectacular and a ride on the tourist train a must if you have kids or to get a idea of the main drag and next town. We loved eating at the Casino where the local older men go to play cards and dominoes or on special occasions, El Dorado. We did day trips to Barcelona and Girona (where the airport is) by bus with no trouble and wanted to go to the Dali museum in Figures but ran out of time- or more truthfully wanted to relax at the house and pool more!!. I have already recommended the house to friends and family and will definitely go back myself.

About you
We are a semi-retired couple who have a small number of properties (our house and two apartments) to offer our discerning guests from around the world.

We love travel (the picture is us in Iceland!), cooking, music from everywhere and the arts.

We love passing on gems of information and little bits of what we call 'magic'. After all, it is these things that make a holiday memorable.

We like to ensure that our guests have the best time possible at our properties and do not get dragged into the mundane aspects of staying in a self-catering property. The only shopping you should have to do should be fun!

We have kitted out our holiday rental in the Costa Brava for luxury, comfort and peace which is just how we like the holiday rentals that we use. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

Our luxury vacation rental on the Costa Brava, provides a luxurious, comfortable experience rather than a cramped one, giving you the very best of both worlds for a beach holiday. Sant Feliu, the town, the life and the beach are a very short distance away. But our house is in an oasis of relative calm, comfort and tranquility.

Why did we buy it? The views, the views, the space, the location and the pool! Oh, and the views!

Our guests say that what they love about Maremar are the details - comfortable mattresses with luxury mattress covers, real pillows and not just one each, basic foodstuffs already there so you don't have to go out and buy loo rolls, tea and coffee as soon as you arrive! We have modern, high spec appliances, coffee maker etc so that you can equally stay at home in the evening or go out into town.

We stay here ourselves with friends so you won't be presented with just six of everything by way of cutlery, virtually no kitchen implements and the odd beer glass. Spoil yourselves a little!

The pool is a big bonus. It is very large and hardly ever busy. So if you like a proper swim rather than a splash about, this is the pool for you. Having said that, there is a great paddling pool attached to it and a shallow end too so the whole family can enjoy the pleasure.

You have clean sands, rocks with crystal clear waters, cork woods, pine woods, wild asparagus, posh shops all in one small area.

You can stay put or wander around seeking art, history, architecture, nightlife, cuisine or whatever takes your fancy.

We come here for our holidays and want to share the experience with like-minded people who want a little more from a seaside rental.

Much more space, comfort and facilities than most other similar properties - or at least that is what our guests have been saying! For example, proper, deep mattresses, 100% crisp cotton sheets, large towels, good plumbing and the rest of it!

We have one of the most stunning views on the Costa Brava. So much so that travellers stop on their way into Sant Feliu especially to drink it in.

Access to the guest only areas of our website which tell you what's on and where and also gives you lots of tips and ideas for things to experience, see, try and taste.

Being self-employed, we always used to work from here. So the high speed, unlimited Wifi is reliable and the top floor can be used as the most charming, out of the way, office if you have to work! But it's also great for meditation, yoga, or just chilling out.

High specification decor and facilities.

Unparalleled, uninterrupted views of the sea and the length of the coast.

Very large pool - excellent for people who want exercise and space rather than a place to splash about in. It is rarely crowded.

All the benefits of a beach holiday without many of the drawbacks, noise, cramped surroundings, discomfort!

With Sant Feliu de Guixols you have a real, authentic Spanish town and we can help you make the most of it. This is not a 'holiday resort' with all the attendant noise, bad behaviour and tourist traps, but it does have all of the amenities (except rowdy nigh spots). Many guests comment on how great it is to have an authentic experience but in a place where foreign guests are understood and welcomed.

Finally, there are no hidden costs. None. At all.
