A modern 4-bedroom holiday home, Villa Pomelo sits on a hilltop overlooking the sea in Roses, near Empuriabrava. Just 1km from the beach and the centre of town, this villa enjoys panoramic sea views from its quiet location and offers an outdoor pool among its facilities.

Suitable for up to eight guests, Villa Pomelo has been tastefully designed and furnished, creating a contemporary feel. The outdoor areas provide you with sun loungers, a barbecue and dining area on a split-level terrace, as well as a lovely 7m x 3m pool, available year-round.

Close to the town you have numerous local attractions like the Aquabrava water-park, Butterfly Park a Pitch & Putt course and the Aiguamolls de l'Emporda nature reserve. There are more sandy beaches and plenty of places to eat and drink in Empuriabrava, and places of historical interest in nearby Castello d'Empuries and, a little further west, Figueres – the birthplace of artist Salvador Dali.

#### Location
The area of Catalonia extending north of Barcelona has no shortage of beach resorts and attractive coastal hideaways to uncover. Large towns such as Badalona and Mataro later give way to smaller but much-loved locations like Llafranc and Begur, giving this stretch of the Costa Brava a satisfying level of variety.

What lies inland is also positively rewarding. With a landscape dominated by mountainous regions like Montseny and the Cadiretes, it would be a shame not to take some time away from the beach to enjoy some incredible scenery either on foot or by bike. The latter area extends as far as the coast north of Tossa de Mar, offering the perfect opportunity to combine the two.

One of Catalonia's most impressive historic cities lies around 35 minutes' drive north of here – Girona. Whether it's to view the Arab Baths, the record-breaking wide nave of the Catedral de Santa Maria or the coloured houses lining the River Onyar, you are assured of an inspiring visit. Girona is also home to Catalonia's largest urban park, Devesa, a wonderful green oasis in the heart of the city.

For something a little more rugged, the mountains of Montseny are a vast playground for hikers and climbers. Richly diverse in terms of both landscape and climate, this vast natural area is one of the region's must-sees. To the south, the smaller Parc del Montnegre i el Corredor offers a relaxing outdoor environment that's well suited to walking.

Along the coast to the east of this area, a number of attractive towns make for appealing excursions, such as Arenys de Mar with its eye-catching historic buildings and pretty harbour. North-west of Barcelona, the city of Terrassa provides an alternative angle on Catalonia. This important industrial city boasts some impressive architecture in the form of the Modernist Masia Freixa and Mercat de la Independencia central market. Its National Museum of Science and Technology offers an intriguing overview of more recent developments.
