The interior boasts a vibrant and happy atmosphere with a tiled floor, brightly coloured walls, and large glass windows making it be a very sunny and luminous villa. Villa Mariposa has four charming bedrooms, and each one has an en-suite which ensures that everybody will have their own space!
Furthermore, the villa has a spacious open-plan living room with a feature fire-place, providing the perfect place to escape from the Mediterranean sun. Also, the villa is equipped with a stylish, modern kitchen where lots of lovely family meals can be cooked-up.

In addition to this, there is a well-equipped outdoor barbecue and a terraced dining area, where many happy-family memories can be made!
Villa Mariposa is situated in Aigua Gelida, which is a quiet residential area in Tamariu, and it is only a 15-minute stroll from the beach; Tamariu is famous for its stunning beaches. There are also many nearby bars, restaurants, and well-stocked mini-marts.
Additionally, it is only a one hour drive to the city of Girona, which has plenty of beautiful and exciting attractions for the family to enjoy, such as the Cinema Museum and Girona Cathedral.
What you should know…
- The villa is only a 15 minute walk to Tamariu beach but you should add an extra 5 minutes on for coming back uphill!

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa MariposaAccording to the British Telegraph newspaper, the beach at Tamariu ranks as one of the best beaches on the Costa Brava. Embraced by pine-clad headlands, the horseshoe-shaped beach is very pretty, family-friendly and sheltered.
Just behind the beach is the pedestrian promenade, where there are some cafes, restaurants and beach gear shops. Parents can happily while away a little time in the shade, sipping whatever they fancy, with their children, only yards away from them, play safely on the sand.
It probably won’t be the first time you’ve heard of it, in this neck of the woods, but Tamariu was originally a small fishing village. It has definitely retained some of its charm and identity, and its beautiful south facing sandy bay offers a romantic destination for lovers. It’s also a good choice for families seeking a quieter Costa Brava resort.
The activity in the village will peak in August, but as yet there aren’t any English bars or breakfasts. Neither are their high-rise hotels on the landscape, only a blend of greens, blues and sandy shades with pretty whitewashed buildings in the foreground.
