About this property

Villa La Joia, a traditional Spanish country house (or Finca) on two floors, overlooks olive groves that sweep down to the Mediterranean Sea. Villa La Joia is in a tranquil location yet, close to beaches, villages, shops and local attractions.

Breakfast on the upper terrace, lunch under the shady carob tree, a barbecue in the evening or a family meal around the large kitchen table – Villa La Joia is perfect for enjoying the best of local produce with friends and family.

The main entrance to the villa leads into a large Farmhouse kitchen, this is the heart of the house with a country style dining table and a comfy chair bedside the wood burning stove.

From the kitchen there is a small hallway that leads to the Twin bedroom, the main bathroom and the Master bedroom - with super king size bed and ensuite bathroom. The ground floor also has a Family room which sleeps 4, in two twin beds and bunk beds.

The stairway from the kitchen leads to the upper hallway which has a sofa and bookcase and is the perfect corner for reading. From this upper hallway there is a large Lounge with an open fireplace, sofas, bookcase and TV. The Double bedroom is also on the upper floor.

The upper hallway opens onto the large terrace which enjoys views of the sea, of L’Ametlla de Mar and of the surrounding hills. One end of the terrace is covered, providing a shady spot for an outdoor dining table and 10 chairs, while the other end of the terrace has outdoor lounge seating and enjoys the sun all day.

Great Location and everything you need for a relaxing break

We arranged to get together with family and friends from Australia and U.K. for 2 weeks at Billy's place. It was everything we wanted. Isolated, yet near authentic Spanish towns and lots and lots of small and large beaches to suit every taste. Billy's place has a great terrace with views for the sea, as well as all the facilities you might need to enjoy your time including table tennis, snooker table and especially the pool where we could cool ourselves down. Thanks for letting us stay Billy. Ant & Matt

More than we could dream of...

We were there in the beginning of july 2019. After a 1400km trip we had a nice welcome from Billy, the host. He was amazing: friendly, always available if wanted/necessary and at the end he asked for feedback. He checkt the pool whenever possible. The house itself had two Parts: the villa, as described in the add, and a smaller one with a pooltable in it and a pingpongtable next to it. Everything was very clean and spacious. And everything (really everything) was there! More glasses, plates,...than needed but even extra linnen, ventilators, babycod, little lights, ... Also really nice was the terras upstairs and the fact that every window had bars and a fly-net. When they kids were sleeping we could sit upstairs without fear. The pool was ideal for the kids and our own refreshment...and bigger than on the picture. And the biggest plus: there were people a five minuten walk from us but it seemed like we had the valley on our own. Loved it! Thank you, Billy!

A wonderful place to be!

We stayed in Villa La Joia with two families with Kids in age between 1 and 6 years old and it fits for everyone. We are absolutely excited about our holidays! The Pool ist fenced and you can lock it. Theres a childrens high chair and a stair grid. There are also fly screens in front of every window. The villa is clean and set up in so many lovely details, beautiful paintings and every kind of stuff you might need! Billy, the owner, gave us a very warm welcome and helped us out whenever we had a question or a problem. There are many things to do or to see in the near environment. Now back at home, we really miss the amazing wide view over olive groves. To make it short: -beautiful House - amazing surrounding -Perfect host Thank you Billy, for giving us the feeling of coming home! Greetings from Germany!

Lovely furnished and beautiful holiday home in a great environment

We have spent two wonderful weeks in Billy´s holiday home. The house is very nice and beautifully furnished. From the roof terrace there is a nice view over the olive groves and the mediterranian sea. The garden has many nice and comfortable places of retreat. The big dining table in an old tree´s shadow is a nice place as well. The ambiance of the illuminated bool bar can certainly compete with the Berlin city beach bars :-)! Apart from that the swimming pool is hygienic and taken care of very nicely. Billy is a wonderful host who cautiously takes care that everything is fine with the holiday home. Moreover he passionately gave us insider tips about the most beautiful places in the area. We would visit this beautiful house again at any time. Thanks Billy for a great stay in catalunya. Wir haben 2 wunderbare Wochen in Billys Ferienhaus verbracht. Das Haus ist sehr schön und liebevoll eingerichtet. Von der Dachterrasse hat man einen herrlichen Blick über die Olivenhaine bis zum Mittelmeer. Der Garten bietet viele schöne Ecken, in denen auch jeder seinen eigenen kleinen Rückzugsort findet. Auch der große Esstisch, im Schatten unter einem alten Baum ist ein bezaubernder Lieblingsort. Das Ambiente der beleuchteten Poolbar kann sich durchaus mit den Berlin-Mitte-Strandbars messen :-)! Der Pool ist super gepflegt. Billy ist ein wunderbarer Gastgeber der sich rührend und zurückhaltend darum gekümmert hat, das alles im Haus in Ordnung ist. Er hat uns mit viel Leidenschaft Tips für die schönsten Orte der Umgebung gegeben. Wir würden jederzeit wieder das schönes Ferienhaus besuchen! Danke Billy für den tollen Aufenthalt in Katalonien!

Fantastic break, beautiful views, so much to do!

We booked a week at the villa following a few days sightseeing in Barcelona and wished we'd booked two! Billy's welcome couldn't have been warmer and the supplies provided for our arrival were particularly appreciated. Billy was on hand to answer questions and offer help if we needed it during the week. The children loved the pool and the Cassita and most evenings were spent playing pool there following dinner on the terrace. The views from the terrace are stunning. We managed a day at Miravet castle where the journey across by ferry was certainly an experience! We also visited the Roman sights at Tarragona and spent a fun filled but tiring day at Ferrariland and Port Aventura as well as some more relaxing days pottering around the local villages and beaches. First time in Catalonia and we certainly want to go back. Thank you for your hospitality.

Excellent séjour dans cette magnifique hacienda

Nous avons été très chaleureusement accueillis par Billy dans cette charmante maison aux terrasses qui permettent d'être dehors à toute heure. Nous avons adoré le cadre et la vue dégagée, la situation géographique qui permet de nombreuses visites intéressantes. La cuisine est très bien équipée, la salle de jeux et la piscine sont de véritables atouts. Tout était réuni pour des vacances réussies. Un grand merci à Billy pour ses conseils de visites et de baignades !

Un grand merci!!!

Superbe région, Magnifique villa et très agréable Billy! Nous avons rejoint la villa avec un couple d'amis et leurs trois enfants, nous étions au total 4 adultes et 5 enfants. tout étaient prévu pour nous accueillir, adéquats, très fonctionnels et a porté de main. Les alentours de la villa sont très vert et propice au ballade, très isolé tout en étant à 5 minutes du centre ville et 10 minutes des plus belles crique. Au fur et à mesure de la journée, l'ombre est accessible car il existe plein de petites terrasses autour de la villa.Nous avons chaque jours mangé à la terrasse de l'étage qui a une vue imbattable sur la mer et les collines. Les enfants ont joué tous les jours dans la piscine pendant que nous les surveillons du bar qui est à l'ombre toute la journée. Très tard en soirée, la vue de la terrasse est merveilleuse les lumières de la cote et les étoiles ont très bien accompagnées les bonnes bouteilles de vin régionaux. Les habitants locaux sont très sympa et nous remercions spécialement Zina, Nelson et Sydney pour leur compagnie. Encore un grand merci à Billy pour son accueille, Amitié, Luc.

Idyllic Spanish Villa

Arrived in the evening to stay the week for my niece's wedding and was immediately impressed with the Mediterranean style of the property as I joined family already enjoying the outside dining area. The exterior bar, the sparkling pool, the beautiful landscape - we were in Spain, on vacation in style! My grand first impression was riveled only by experiencing the property in the light of day. The villa sits within stone terraced rolling hills of olive trees and other tropical vegetation including pomegranate, fig, carob and palm trees. The view from every part of the property is breathtaking, but from the upstairs terrace it is seemingly surreal as you look over this landscape down to the sea. The owner has the villa well maintained, clean, comfortable and tastefully decorated. He was very accommodating and flexible with our dates of stay as we had many family members staying at varying times. I would absolutely return to this lovely Spanish villa. Until then, thank you Billy for ensuring a perfect stay.

Superbe villa très bien située idéale pour des vacances au calme en famille

Cette villa correspondait tout à fait à notre retrouvaille familiale , fonctionnelle pour accueillir 5 adultes et 5 enfants. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié la piscine qui est bien sécurisée et la table de ping pong. Les différentes terrasses extérieures nous ont permis de trouver de l'ombre à tout moment de la journée. Les plages sont à un quart d'heure en voiture , Tarragone une très belle ville à découvrir ; et qu'il est agréable une fois rentrés à la villa de se délasser au milieu des oliviers au calme sur les chaises longues; Le propriétaire Billy a toujours été très souriant et à l'écoute , encore Merci à BILLY

About the host

Hosted by Billy Couper

"Like many, I had dreamed of a holiday home in Spain, and after years of searching and following the advice of Spanish property specialists, I found Villa La Joia.

With over 30 years of experience in the hospitality, property and fine art businesses, I have used my skills to create a holiday home that is perfect for groups of friends or families, yet still has quiet corners for more solitary relaxation."

Why they chose this property

"After four and a half years searching, with over seventy properties viewed, we finally found Villa La Joia and immediately fell in love with the house and surrounding scenery. Its peaceful setting together, with all the facilities it offers, is simply magical!"

The surrounding scenery and live series of summer events make this the ideal place to enjoy a holiday.

What makes this property unique

The Mediterranean garden and terrace both offer stunning views down through the olive groves to the sea and out towards the Ebro Delta.

To the rear of the house the forested hillside is a haven for nesting eagles and other birds.

The villa also has charming corners in which to relax or socialise - with a choice of indoor and outdoor dining places including a shaded bar overlooking the pool, ideal for barbecues.
