The Wild Coast or Costa Brava, the magnificent stretch of coastline that stretches from Blanes to the French border is one of the most popular holiday destinations in the world. Since the 1950s it has been promoted as a tourist hub and the dramatic landscapes, dominated by mountains, ocean and rivers has been a big draw for celebrities and the ordinary vacationer alike.

The rugged, windswept cliffs, the Spanish Pyrenees sweeping down to the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean Sea, the four rivers that converge here make this one of the greenest areas of Spain. The entire coast is dotted with more than 100 Blue Flag beaches, making it one of the most enjoyable and comfortable beach holiday destinations in the world. Today's discerning tourist prefers to avoid the hotels and resorts scattered all along the Costa Brava shore-line - the trend is to opt for a vacation rental.

With a rental, you get more flexibility and comfort to do your own thing, make your own schedules in a home-like atmosphere. There are big cost-savings too especially when you're traveling in a group since all costs can be shared – hence you can even opt for luxury accommodation. Chores can be shared in self-catering accommodation or you can share the cost of staff. In fact, average rental costs per head can work out to just under the cost of a three-star hotel accommodation.

One of the most popular choices is the villa rental. The term “villa” extends to anything from a medieval cliff-top castle to a fisherman's cottage in a quaint seaside village – and everything else in between. You're sure to find the villa to suit all needs and budgets. Another advantage is that if you've planned exactly what your group wants to do during the holidays, you can use the villa as a base and travel to different destinations from here. This is great when your group has diverse age-groups with different holiday requirements. You can pick a villa located close to as many of these attractions as possible - night-life and entertainment means the Lloret del Mar, while Tossa de Mar is for family fun and Roses is a combination of both. Barcelona is just 30 km away, while Girona Airport is the gateway to Costa Brava.

If you want a taste of luxury, Costa Brava villa rentals can give you that too – with all the trimmings. Private beaches, barbecues, yacht-moorings, opulent interiors, luxurious baths with jacuzzi, state-of-the-art entertainment and leisure center and kitchen, broadband, a full complement of house-staff to take care of your needs, baby-sitting, limousine, tennis courts, cycling tracks and landscaped gardens are some of the plush features available.

For the budget-conscious, there are villas with shared pools, self-catering, access to nearby local markets and transport, well-equipped kitchens and well-furnished living areas. Here, the tourist can get a feel of the “real” Spain, as you really get to know how the locals live.
