About this property

Casa del Mar: A Mediterranean Dream in Calella de Palafrugell

Nestled in a privileged location near the charming cove of El Golfet and surrounded by lush Mediterranean gardens, Casa del Mar offers stunning panoramic views. It is a retreat for those seeking authenticity, beauty, and a profound connection with nature. Situated in the picturesque village of Calella de Palafrugell, this private haven offers a unique experience to appreciate the true essence of the Mediterranean.

Mediterranean Design and Comfort in Harmony

Casa del Mar evokes the elegance of different Mediterranean corners where our family has lived. The villa features seven suites, each with a private bathroom and dressing room, designed with a delicate blend of natural materials and soft tones. Each room exudes a chic simplicity, with warm wood, light textiles, and an abundance of natural light filling every corner.
It’s the ideal place for those who value comfort, effortless elegance and timeless beauty.

The main living room, divided into two areas, offers a space to disconnect, enjoying sea views from a cozy chill-out area and a fireplace perfect for relaxing on winter evenings. Sliding wooden doors open up to a dining area with a welcoming table, perfect for sharing unforgettable evenings. The fully equipped kitchen, designed in microcement and natural stone, is the ideal place for creating memorable moments with friends and family.

Three Levels of Pure Tranquility

Spread over three levels connected by a staircase and an elevator, Casa del Mar offers versatile, elegant spaces. In the basement, an independent suite provides a comfortable and inviting extra room.

One of our most charming spaces is the “Cinemino,” a private cinema with seating for 12, available by reservation and under special conditions. It’s a unique space primarily designed for professional experiences and tailored events.

Nature breathes even in the heart of the villa, where a patio filled with natural light and adorned with strelitzias creates a fresh and exotic ambiance.

Outdoor Spaces for the Soul

The gardens, designed for relaxation, feature a spacious terrace and a microcement pool, ideal for outdoor relaxation. A fitness area surrounded by greenery and accompanied by birdsong and cicadas allows guests to stay in shape in complete tranquility.

From Casa del Mar, paths lead to hidden coves like El Golfet and Sant Roc, ending in the heart of Calella, where writer Josep Pla captured the intimate and wild spirit of this land.

Commitment to Sustainability

The villa reflects a deep respect for the natural surroundings, with a sustainable water and energy management system, osmosis to reduce plastic use, and light regulators to optimize energy consumption.

Tailored Service for Our Guests

Casa del Mar is a destination for those who appreciate serene elegance, authenticity, and attention to detail. Our attentive and dedicated local team is at your service from the first moment to ensure that every aspect of your stay is perfect. We offer a tailored service, carefully adapted to respond to each guest's needs and desires, ensuring a heartfelt and memorable experience.

Experiences for Every Season

Throughout the year, Casa del Mar offers a unique connection with the Mediterranean. This sea is our passion, and Casa del Mar is a tribute to journeys between its shores. In summer, the crystalline waters of nearby coves invite swimming, snorkeling, or sailing. In spring and autumn, the golden landscapes are perfect for cycling through vineyards and medieval villages or discovering the secrets of the Camí de Ronda.

Even in winter, the environment invites exploration, with mild weather allowing you to enjoy the region in a calmer atmosphere, ideal for discovering new shades of the landscape and its peaceful charm.

A Gastronomy that Captivates the Senses

Calella de Palafrugell is a destination that captivates not only for its beauty but also for its rich culinary offerings and exceptional DO Empordà wines.
The Costa Brava, steeped in history and culture, is home to the landscapes that inspired Salvador Dalí and Josep Pla. The coastline is Mediterranean, as is the interior of the Empordà, where the experience is enriched by medieval villages seemingly frozen in time. In their cobbled streets and sunny squares, each corner invites you to discover remnants of the past and the beauty of a captivating setting, in a journey between land and sea.

Absolutely Incredible!
I don’t even know where to start with this review. Absolutely everything was beyond expectations. Gemma and Caterina were so helpful before the trip, providing information, recommendations, and answering my frequent questions. Checking in included a tour with Gemma and the nicest welcome spread of fruits and other goodies. The house itself is exactly like the photos, if not nicer. The view is so beautiful, and the large glass doors that open the kitchen area to the outdoors creates an incredible indoor/outdoor feel. The bedrooms were all comfortable and the entire house is immaculately decorated. Silvia who comes every day to look after the house is lovely and helpful. I can’t suggest a single thing that should be changed, the house and customer service are top notch. If you are considering booking this house, you should do it- you will not be disappointed!! We very much hope to be back again soon.

Amazing Stay at Casa Del Mar
Casa Del Mar is a GEM, and we had a spectacular week with our family totaling 11. The house itself is beautifully decorated and surprisingly more stunning than the photos. The design details and quality of furnishings and decor are very high end, and the house/kitchen is stocked with everything you need. The house sits atop a hill with great big views of the ocean and coastline. It's a bit of a walk in to town, but manageable, and a very short car ride, but we didn't want to leave the large outdoor terrace/pool area. What sets this apart from other places we've stayed was the amazing care and attention from the property managers. Gemma was in constant contact with us before and during our visit to help with anything. Siliva the caretaker came to clean the home every day, and also prepared food for us. Upon arrival, there was an incredible spread of fresh fruits and a homemade cake. These little touches make all the difference in the world! We highly recommend Casa Del Mar to anyone looking for a special week in Costa Brava. It's an amazing place.

Cette pépite qui domine Calella est idéale pour des vacances que l'on souhaite inoubliable !!!
On voulait se rappeler de ces vacances et que nos invités s'en rappellent . Mission accomplie ! Caterina et Gemma nous ont, non seulement aidé par des tas de renseignements comme les programmations des activités extérieures, les réservations, mais, elles nous ont accueillis d'une façon remarquable !!! Mieux , c'est mal !!! Du début , de la remise des clés au moment ou nous les avons rendus avec émotions, tout a été PARFAIT ! Tout est mis a disposition afin que le séjour soit impeccable ! Toute l'équipe est là pour nous servir comme des princes avec discrétion, efficacité et gentillesse ! La cuisine de Silvia est délicieuse !!! Que c'est agréable de pouvoir déguster un plat fait maison avec des produits de qualités, suivant nos envies , sans avoir a se soucier de faire les courses, ni la préparation... Livré chaud, à l'heure qu'on le souhaite , ce service de chef a domicile est fort appréciable et qualitatif. La casa del Mar est un lieu idéal, tant par les beautés du lieu intérieures et extérieures , que par les nombreux services proposés, ainsi que par l'emplacement qui est a proximité de toutes les commodités à pieds , ou en vélo électriques. Le village de Calella est unique en son genre, des petites plages paradisiaques, des restaurants quasiment les pieds dans l'eau, des balades sublimes à deux pas , le jardin de Cap Roig à pied de la maison. La casa del Mar est incroyable, elle domine Calella !!! tout est beau ! la vue , la déco. Notre rêve, vite y retourner !

PERFECT !!!!!
This house is absolutely perfect for a family vacation!! It is warm and welcoming, and every little touch is perfect. It is perched on a hill with a spectacular view of the sea. We were. group of 14, with 8 adults and 6 kids, and everyone had space and their own rooms and baths. I cannot say enough about Caterina, Gemma , and Sylvia, who manage and take care of the house. From the beginning of the rental process, they were responsive and wonderful in their communications, enabling us to have peace of mind about our vacation. This was a 5 star vacation on every level!!! We hope to get back one day!!

Dream villa
We all fell in love with Casa Del Mar the moment we arrived for my mums 70th birthday week!! It is the perfect villa for large family holidays with lots of space for socialising and dinners and many hidden areas when a bit of chill out time is needed. The flowers and decoration has been carefully chosen and everyday we spotted something new and impressive. A villa which kept on giving. The pool is beautiful and cleaned daily. The rooms are spacious with ensuite bathrooms and air conditioning and plenty of storage. The master bedroom has breath taking views of the sea and surrounding landscape. Gemma and Catrina are the best hosts. They took care of us before and throughout out our holiday making sure we had everything we needed including high chairs and a cot for our little girl. If you don’t feel like cooking you must try Silvias menu or arrange for Albert (private chef) to come and cook a local feast !!! The local town is beautiful with great beaches, restaurants and shops. Perfect for a morning or afternoon out. Casa Del Mar is a dream villa and we can’t wait to return. Thanks again!!!

Our wonderful stay at Casa del Mar
Looking back on an unforgettable and wonderful holiday I can only say that we were so fortunate to stay at Casa del Mar in Calella. We felt instantly at home, due to the great hospitality of Gemma & Sylvia, every room in the house had its own stylish charm, and the breathtaking view of the sea. Our children continuously mentioned they were inspired by the beautifully decorated interior design of the house, something they will never forget. We relaxed at every corner of the sunny terrace, enjoyed the great Spanish dishes (sometimes prepared by Sylvia), and celebrated life every day. In short, a holiday that we will never forget, thanks to Casa del Mar. Frank.

Another wonderful summer at Casa Del Mar
This was our third year at Casa Del Mar, we just can't stay away! It's the perfect house for our family. Large enough to fit a large group comfortably but also cozy enough to enjoy quality time together. It's immaculately clean, Slyvia and her team really do an amazing job. She's also a wonderful cook, we definitely recommend her menu! The amazing outdoor spaces are particularly special at this house, they are all so relaxing and unique. A zone for every mood. The House Manager, Gemma, is always on hand to help and so very responsive. Nothing is too much trouble. We love it so much, we'll be back again next year!

Our wonderful wedding gathering at Casa del Mar
We were looking for a unique property in the Costa Brava region to hold a family wedding (only immediate family, 12 people). Casa del Mar worked out to be the perfect place for us to celebrate. The combination of a beautiful location in Calella Palagruell overlooking the sea, and the spacious and well-appointed accommodations provided all the essential elements. Of special note was the pool, which was cleaned daily, and which received lots of use during our visit. Prior to our visit, we had been in contact with our hosts multiple times. They guided us with helpful suggestions on cooks and photographers, as well as an array of activities in the local area. On the day of our arrival our hosts greeted us with a wonderful spread of fresh and baked foods (what a treat for weary travelers). Gemma and Caterina were thoughtful and caring hosts, making sure everything was perfect throughout our visit. We hope to return to Casa del Mar someday to enjoy this idyllic location and casa.

Beautiful House
Our trip to Calella was incredible and the best part about it was this beautiful house. The views from the house were just as good at night as they were during the day. The house has great double doors throughout the back terrace and once all of the doors are open it creates a great breeze that we enjoyed every day. We cooked at the house several nights and I was extremely pleased with the appliances as well as the pots and pans that were provided. The only slight negative was the hot water which seemed to run out quickly since we had 10 people showering at similar times before we went out at night. Overall, we loved this house!!

Family Holiday at Casa Del Mar
The Casa Del Mar was truly a home away from home from our family. We felt comfortable, with warm design, comfortable shared sitting areas and dining room and open kitchen. We came with two families and 8 kids total. Our kids, had an incredible time, we loved the outdoor space and the open views of the sea and the villa has a very happy, soft, serene feel to it with incredible light and fresh air throughout the space. The attention to detail is outstanding. We were warmly greeted by Caterina and Gemma when we arrived and they went far beyond our expectations in preparations for our special kosher cooking and food needs that made us feel cared for and welcome. We were stunned by their generosity and kindness. We want to return again as soon as we can. A few notes on location. We did not know what to expect in Costa Brava and Palafrugell. We were there for 12 days and did not run out of activities and wonder. The weather was a bit cold and rainy and I imagine in the summer there is even more to do. We absolutely loved the long walks along the wild coast and the proximity to the botanical gardens and running, walking, biking hiking paths 50 meters from the villa were wonderful. We walked for 3 hours in both the north and south directions along the coast and were simply astonished by the natural beauty. There are some small beaches and more distant beaches that are hard to get to so there are less people around in April when we were there. There are a lot of steps down to the beach so be it was good exercise!! I found myself the only person at the beach some mornings. The town is very quiet, yet there are grocery stores and amenities nearby. For kids there is kayaking, miniature golf, bowling, swimming, and incredible tennis nearby. The little towns around and Girona are also nice visits for culture. Gemma and Caterina were always available and immediately responsive if we ever needed anything. It was an incredible spiritual holiday for us we always remember. We are grateful and humbled by the opportunity to stay at Casa Del Mar. We looked at dozens of other villas in Costa Bravo, and after our experience, we are sure Casa Del Mar is one of the very best you will find.

This was our second stay in Casa de Mar and as last time we loved every minute of it. The house has very elegant and warm design/style where every little detail is thought through. It has very well equipped kitchen and spacious and beautiful bedrooms. We enjoyed the many different dining and seating spaces inside and outside. Gemma was incredibly helpful before, during and after our stay, offering tips about restaurants, biking, covid tests etc. and Sylvia took very good care of us while there. We are already talking about our next holiday in Casa de Mar :)

Stunning house with incredible views
This newly renovated house in Calella is beautiful. From the interiors to landscaping, every detail of the house has been thought through by someone with excellent taste and eye for beautiful. Various sitting areas inside and outside offer different vibes and views - we actually named each area by a different bar or restaurant we like ;) The manager is super responsive and get you anything to make the stay pleasant. The housekeeper Silvia is super nice and keeps the property in great spec - plus she cooks great local and international dishes. It’s been a fantastic stay for us and our family, especially in middle of covid year we felt very safe and in an oasis from the world.

Palafrugell is a charming place with numerous beaches and excursions all within a walking distance from the villa. The family (13 of us) 8 days’ experience here was an oasis of tranquility and charm.

Spectacular home in beautiful Callela
We spent a week in late June at Casa del Mar and had an amazing time. Upon arrival, we were greeted by our wonderful hosts, Catarina and Jerome. The home surpassed all expectations- the pictures do not do it justice! Our hosts thought of every detail and the home is incredibly thoughtful. It was the perfect accommodations for our two families including three small children (7, 8, and 9 years of age). No small detail overlooked as you could pick any space (there are many spaces both indoors and outdoors) to relax and the home and the beautiful views. Importantly, although the house in not on the beach, the privacy and views from the house are second to none in Calella. The inclusion of daily housekeeping (the lovely Sylvia) and the option to have Sylvia cook was a special treat. Sylvia prepared an amazing dinner for all of us and it may have been one of our best meals during our one week stay in Costa Brava. A tall order given that we had two vegans and two pescatarians. Casa Del Mar also came equipped with plenty amenities (cooler, towels, umbrella etc.) for the beach which came in handy. Another pleasant surprise was the proximity to the nature preserve near by the house. If you love hiking, running, or simply enjoy great views, it’s worthwhile to spend some time exploring the preserve. I know it has been mentioned before, but Catarina, Jerome, and Sylvia were accessible (whattsapp) the entire time of our trip and if we ever needed anything, they ensured all requests we met. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Spacious, luxurious, everything you could wish for in a beachside Spanish Villa.
Our party of 14 were from Australia thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa del Mar. We had searched for many months on the internet looking for a suitable property for all of us and this wonderful Spanish villa did not disappoint. The photos on the listing showed many photos which was great, however the property is more stunning and beautiful when you arrive. The architecture is stunning, the interior is just beautiful, the villa is tastefully decorated with a mix of Spanish and Moroccan soft furnishings. Every room has its own luxurious bathroom. The kitchen utilities are all high quality and equipped with everything you need - including a very good coffee machine! The villa was immaculate, kept clean and tidy by the wonderful Silvia who came everyday during the week. The communication with the owners was fantastic, they even came to greet us on our first day and also kindly helped us with meals and booking us into local restaurants. The house is so big, with many rooms to relax indoor and outdoor. The view is spectacular and we loved relaxing by the pool (which was a pleasant temperature) and eating outside on the large veranda. It was just magic. We could not fault the place at all, except that it is on a very steep hill and you need to be fit to walk up and down to the beach, so consider a car if you are staying for a week or longer! The nearby beaches are just stunning, and we did enjoy the walks along the beach to all the different villages along the coast. Highly recommend this property, it more than exceeded our expectations and provided our family with a wonderful stay full of great memories. .

A dream house for a dream vacation.
"Casa del Mar" is much nicer than what the photos show. The "plus" comes from a relaxing, serene and harmonious ambiance. This creates a subtle mix between sophistication, comfort and simplicity. We loved having drinks and dinners on the terrasse, by the pool, with the romantic feel of Callela lights sparkling in the night. Our teenagers enjoyed that the house is only 15 minutes walk from the lively streets of Callela and the charming "El Golfet" beach with its crystal-clear water. The whole family had a great time visiting charming places nearby such as Llafranc, Tamariu and Begur. It is amazing that we did not had a single bad food exerience during our stay. Whatever the style of the restaurants, food was always great. Overall we had a fantastic time also thanks to our delightful hosts. Thank you so much Caterina for your hospitality and your great recommendations. We will obviously rent Casa del Mar again!

Outstanding Property , Location, Owners!!!
FABULOUS Rental!!!! 5 stars are not enough to rate this home, location, and the owners of this hacienda!! I fell in love with Casa del Mar through the beautiful photos on HomeAway. Once I arrived, it took my breath away, and was even more beautiful in person (if that's possible). The owners, Caterina & Jerome, were at the house to greet us and show us around. I was part of a group of 12 celebrating my 50th birthday, and they made us feel so welcome and at home, we never wanted to leave. Having never been to the Costa Brava, I had many questions about a variety of topics (food, boating, must see places, etc) leading up to our trip. Caterina personally got back to me quickly and in great detail. They could not have been more lovely and accommodating, taking care of every request and need. The amazing Housekeeper, Silvia, is an outstanding cook! I highly recommend her for meals you want to have at the home, or to take out boating, etc. She is wonderful! We definitely hope to return one day ( it couldn't be soon enough for me). Anyone looking for a top notch home with everything you could ever need (or want) for a lavish stay, should not hesitate. It is truly one of the most beautiful locations and homes I have been fortunate enough to stay in. The 12 people in our group will have lasting memories of a truly beautiful experience, thanks to Caterina and Jerome!! Thank you for EVERYTHING, Caterina and Jerome....till we meet again : )
