The Villa If you are looking for an exceptional unique home and a memorable "Costa Brava" experience – this is it. Our villa offers complete privacy and tranquillity away from the hiatus of tourists in the high season, but close enough to Tamariu for excellent dining and beach activities.
Designed by a well-known Girona based Architect, it is carved out of a rock with dense pine wood scrubland to the rear and breath-taking sea views providing ultimate comfort, individuality and style.
The villa has been created with great attention to detail and furnished to a very high standard including modern fixtures and technology contributing to an unforgettable stay. The décor is modern yet very comfortable and inviting.
Externally the villa composes of clean, elegant lines integrating nature and the man-made. It is a luxurious combination of materials - weathered steel, wood, concrete and glass beautifully complimenting the nature surrounding the villa.
The property has been published in various design magazines and books; it is constructed over two levels and accessed directly via a lift from street level. All the living areas, including all of the bedrooms, enjoy fabulous sea views. The property is fully equipped with internet channels, the latest curved screen TV, Wi-Fi, a Bose music system and integrated air conditioning.
The mosaic-tiled infinity pool is situated to receive as much sun as possible and is surrounded by Brazilian walnut decking. There are two other outdoor decks for soaking up the sunshine, the rooftop is a spectacular chill-out area with unparalleled 360⁰ views with a BBQ area, Bose speakers and a lower garden deck with outdoor seating.
Villa La Calma is perched on a rock facing the Mediterranean located in Aigua Xelida, part of the ‘Golden Triangle’ of Calella, Llafranc and Tamariu, a province in north-eastern Spain.
The Costa Brava is the home to Salvador Dali and Pablo Picasso and the region is a popular tourist destination being recently voted best travel destination by the National Graphic Magazine thanks to its moderate climate, beautiful clean beaches, world class gastronomy, family activities, PGA golf courses and charming medieval towns.

A lovely villa and very nice owners but slightly smaller pool and deck than we'd hoped for and the villa's location wasn't quite what we thought - there was no real clear outlook as you are on the wrong side of the seaside road. The villa actually overlooks the villas that are on the rock face and have the clear views. On saying this we had a nice time and the architecture and finish of the villa was great and there convenient parking.
Cosa Brava stunning luxury and architectural dream
This remarkable house and architectural marvel is a perfect place as a base for exploring and as a relaxing haven. It includes all the creature comforts and more. The pool blends seamlessly with the clear sea view. One can spend the day moving from one perfect sitting/viewing/eating/drinking/reading/chatting spot to another, on multiple floors. We ate at home and out, enjoying the owners' recommendations. Groceries and supplies are convenient, the Tamariu beach and kayaks or paddle boards are a few minutes away. But you and your family and friends can readily feel blissfully removed and special in this unique home. This is a home you want to spend time in and enjoy -- it is a true vacation spot!! We would absolutely stay here again.

Dear Anna,
Thank you for your positive review! I enjoyed meeting you and your family and knowing your son is an architectural student I felt you would appreciate the design details :-)
Look forward to seeing you again!

La maison est superbe
Le levé du soleil magnifique
Un séjour de rêve dans un endroit hors du commun.
La piscine et la mer du petit déjeuner au dîner, on ne s’en lasse pas , du bleu , du bleu un véritable bonheur ….
extraordinaire maison d'architecte vue sublime deco interieure très design
semaine très relaxante propriétaires adorables ( il faut parler anglais )
quelques petits détails à améliorer par exemple lourdeur des volets roulants mais qui ne gâchent en rien le plaisir que nous avons eu à y séjourner
a recommander !
La Calma is a one off, an amazing property and first class experience all round. Tristan was incredibly welcoming and accommodating on arrival, we took on board advice for where to eat and visit, which again were fabulous. (mooma, funky pizza). The house itself is gorgeous, very comfortable and had everything we needed - but the star of the show is the view. Wow - if you are lucky enough to book this property, you wont forget it.
Outre le fait que la maison, dans laquelle Mark nous a fait le bonheur de nous accueillir, est exceptionnelle à de multiples points de vue, à commencer par son architecture audacieuse, son emplacement idéal et son point de vue à 180 degrés sur la mer. Nous sommes crus pendant 7 jours embarqués à bord d’un splendide vaisseau qui nous a permis, contre vents et marées ( en Méditerranée à très faible coefficient…), de passer un séjour idyllique en famille coupés du monde. Une formidable épopée qui a permis à tous de voguer vers la destination « rêve éveillé ». Merci infiniment à Marck et Tristan pour leur gentillesse et leur accueil. A très bientôt !
Charmant accueil de nos hôtes Marc et Tristan très disponibles
Maison de rêve dans un site magnifique au calme et à la tranquillité bercé par la brise marine et le soleil
Souvenirs magiques des apéros sur le rooftop sous les accords de la sono
La mer omni-présente ou que l’on regarde de tous les recoins de cette maison
A ne pas sans priver et en user sans modération
