Begur is a coastal resort on Spain's Costa Brava. Situated on the rocky coastline, it is blessed with access to the secluded coves and beaches of the Costa Brava. A Villa for rent in this marvelous resort is also within easy reach of nine golf courses, and is a favourite area for those cycling down the coast due to its magnificent medieval heritage.

In this far north-eastern corner of Catalonia, holiday accommodation in Costa Brava is favoured for its situation in a region positively over-flowing with natural and cultural diversity, where the many medieval towns and villages provide an irresistable selection of both modern and charmingly traditional holiday villas. In Begur you'll find such a town nestling in a coastal location close to more archaelogical sites and ancient relics than you could hope to investigate in the course of one holiday, apartments being another option of accommodation for rental in Costa Brava, popular with history,buffs and nature-lovers alike, so whether you want to scour the countryside for Roman ruins or flora and fauna, you can plan your voyage of discovery from the convenient setting of your holiday accommodation in Catalonia. Villa rentals in Begur, however, are often chosen just for their amazing potential to induce a state of total relaxation, something you can expect to achieve just as well with a holiday apartment, especially if an idyllic Mediterranean beach is an essential part of your winding-down process, or even a sun-drenched golf course, as for those who pass over the fishing, scuba-diving, birdwatching and cultural enlightenment for their favourite sport, a holiday villa is in the perfect place for a Spanish golfing vacation.

The coastline of Begur is lined with picturesque coves, which have been cited as the most beautiful on the Costa Brava. Aigua Blava and Fornells are known for their stunningly clear, rich blue waters. Whether you decide to lie on the beach, take a swim or walk around the coast, the peace and beauty will certainly stay with you long after you leave your villa.

The town itself lies in a semi-circle around a rocky outcrop topped with a striking castle, complete with five watch towers. The castle provides a beautiful skyline visible from all of the villas to rent in Begur, and the colours and mood of the castle change as the sun moves. The castle has been protected as a site of National Importance.

The streets surrounding the villas for rent in Begur are narrow and twisting, filled with secret galleries and quiet cafes. The medieval origins of Begur are undeniable, and development has not resulted in the concrete hotels synonymous with much of the Costa Brava, but means that holiday rental villas are surrounded by beautiful traditional buildings. The late night bars are not British pubs or clubs, but vibrant Spanish bars.

There are nine golf courses available to play to anyone staying in a villa, which vary in difficulty, the closest of which are Gerona and Aro Golf Course. Begur also boasts the best scuba diving in Spain, with the only protected national marine park.

Walking, horse riding and cycling holidays to Begur are hugely popular all year round.
