Sant Cebria de Vallalta, Spain Vacation Rental Property - Villa CatalAruba Four-bedroom

Located precisely on the border of the 'Parque Nacional el Montnegre y el Corredor', overlooking the valley of 'Sant Cebrià de Vallalta' and the beach town of 'Sant Pol de Mar' along the Costa Maresme of Catalunya/Barcelona and proudly owned by citizens of Aruba, the Villa CatalAruba is - surely so - uniquely defined as "A touch of the Caribbean paradise island Aruba in the midst of Catalonia, district of Barcelona, Spain!" Accessed via a 2 km swirling but picturesque road through the lush woods just outside the town center of Sant Cebrià de Vallalta, you will arrive as if approaching an oasis, suddenly at the entrance of the Can Palau private subdivision; an area in the mountains with relatively all new private villas and homes. At the top area of this subdivision, you will find your private oasis of Villa CatalAruba, a modern and very spacious 4-bedroom/2-bathroom villa with a large tropical garden, free-style swimming pool, BBQ facility and exceptional panoramic mountain and sea views! This villa has a totally new and modernly decorated living room area featuring an all-white durable faux leather sofa with electronically reclining relax chair at left end and a chaise lounge right end, supplemented with a matching leather lounge chair and a 46" HD Smart TV, Satellite TV connection and BlueRay DVD Home Theater set. There is an amazing sea and pool view from your living room, which latter flows gracefully into the dining area with custom designed cutlery cabinet and an 8-seat extendable glass dining table. Adjacent to the dining area is the fully equipped modern kitchen, including built-in white goods such as a cabinet-look dishwasher, stainless steel microwave/convection oven, stainless steel conventional oven and stainless steel full-size refrigerator. All the utensils and appliances that you would generally need to prepare your exquisite holiday meals are available in this kitchen and, most importantly, lots of extra storage space! Off the rear of the kitchen there is the main entry hall which lends access to the hall towards the bedroom wing of the villa with all four bedrooms on the right side, facing the sea. First in the bedroom hall on your right you will find the fourth bedroom/office with a modern Murphy bunk-bed, built-in modern closets, office desk, access to terrace and sea view. Next is the third bedroom with two attachable twin beds (thus can also be used as a queen-size bed), built-in modern closets, access to terrace and sea view. Continuing through the hall is the second bedroom with a queen-size bed, built-in modern closets, access to terrace and sea view. The second bathroom is on the left side of the hall, with a contemporary vanity, modern toilet and bidet, shower and whirlpool tub for every guest's ultimate relaxation. At the end of the hall you will find your master bedroom with a high-end dual viscosity mattress (soft and firm, so choose your side!) king-size bed, walk-in closet area, and of course also access to terrace and sea view! The private master bathroom similarly has a contemporary vanity, modern toilet and bidet, shower and larger whirlpool tub. From the main entry hall you also have access to the laundry room with washer, dryer, iron and iron board; the rear court yard and the two-car garage with remote controlled panel-fold door. The most exciting spaces of the premises are the outdoor entertainment areas! There is a covered area with natural stone backdrop, having a comfortable terrace sofa set and an outdooor dining set, right next to the built-in full-size charcoal BBQ grill, all overlooking the fairly sized kidney-shaped swimming pool and the the Mediterranean sea....! The final complementing feature of Villa CatalAruba is the 3-level 1,000 square meter large tropical garden, with at the top level a small cacti-inspired garden; at main level many palms, flower trees, herbal trees and olive tree, whereas all grounds are covered with grass lawn (in front of living room), natural stone (pool terrace) or white gravel. The sub (front) level of this large garden will entice you with more herbal, fruit and flower trees as well as a fish pond above which there is a convenient wooden pedestrian bridge for your leisurely walk through the garden. Begin your vacation planning with the right choice; include Villa CatalAruba in your luxury vacation lifestyle and let it become your most unforgetable comfort, relaxation and beach vacation experience ever!

Situated on the border of the Montnegre National Park, in the mountains just outside the center of Sant Cebrià de Vallalta (valle alta = 'high valley'), about 6 km from its sister beach town of Sant Pol and thus only about 8 km from the nearest beach, Villa CatalAruba proudly features wonderful mountain valley views as well as panoramic views of the Mediterranean sea from many angles on its premises!

Accessed via a swirling road through the dense lush woods just outisde the center of Sant Cebrià de Vallalta, you will arrive like an oasis at the entrance of the private subdivision of Can Palau (some GPS devices even recognize it as a separate town/city, but it is actually a subdivision within the municipality of Sant Cebrià de Vallalta). Can Palau is one of the several subdivisions and towns brought to their existence as middle- and high-income inhabitants of Barcelona sought more comfort and relaxation, by building their own private second home and weekend escape, high up in the hills near this metropolitan city.  

Due to its excellent location, Villa CatalAruba thus lends quick and easy access to not only the huge national park (measuring more than 150 square kilometers!) to which it borders, but also to the many great towns, beaches and landmarks along the Costa Maresme and the Costa Brava. Yes, great beaches, towns as well as beach ambiances at and around Arenys de Mar, Sant Pol de Mar, Calella, Tossa de Mar, Platja D'Aro and Lloret de Mar, just to name a few of the countless well-known locations. Most importantly, it is centrally located between two major cities of Catalonia, namely the historical city of Girona and the district's capital, Barcelona.

An easy 35-minutes' drive to the south will take you right into downtown Barcelona, currently the second most visited European city (after Paris, France) for its impressive culture, grand architecture, restaurants of Spanish gastronomic perfection, major shopping facilities and unmatching nighttime ambiance. A similar easy 40-minutes' drive to the north will take you also into downtown Girona, known for its great historical momuments, enjoyable festivals, typical delicatesse and fine cuisine.

For those traveling by air, you can thus choose as closest destination between either the Regional Airport of Girona or the International Airport of Barcelona. A rental or own car is however then strongly recommended, when staying at Villa CatalAruba.
