You'll find this villa only a ten-minute drive from the sandy shores of Platja de Canyelles. Even when you're not lounging on the beach or exploring Spain's Costa Brava region, you'll be able to bask in the sparkling Mediterranean Sea views from this home's private swimming pool and first-floor balcony. The outdoor spaces have coastal relaxation written all over them, while the interior takes a slightly more old-world approach to the design. It's a tad dated, especially the bathrooms, but factor in the postcard-worthy scenery and fantastic location, and it's no wonder it caught our eye.
