ALT EMPORDA: This region is situated at the Northeastern most corner of the Iberian Peninsula, where the Costa Brava begins, with small coastal towns like Portbou and Colera. The capital, Figueres, is known world-wide for being the site of the Dalí Theatre Museum, one of Spain's most frequently visited museums, which houses a great deal of the painter's works. From here, one can embark on a journey covering the life of Salvador Dalí, including a visit to the Púbol castle (in the Baix Empordà region) and to his home in Portlligat, in Cadaqués.

The Alt Empordà region also boasts natural areas of great environmental interest. The Aiguamolls de I'Empordà Natural Park, situated between the towns of Castelló d'Empúries, Empuriabrava (a residential area that provides a wide range of leisure offerings and where the Mediterranean's biggest residential marina is located) and Sant Pere Pescador, concentrates a large number of autochthonous flora and fauna species.

SITUATED ON THE BORDER OF THE PARK: Cap de Creus Natural Park, which occupies a surface area of 10,787 hectares on land and another 3,073 hectares of sea, encompasses the coastal towns of Cadaqués, El Port de la Selva, Llançà and Roses, and the inland towns of La Selva de Mar, Palau -saverdera, Pau and Vilajuïga. You will enjoy pleasant walking tours, usually with a lot of wind, along the paths that take you to the Cap. This is your chance of seeing more that 250 bird species.
“Cap de Creus” is the first marine and terrestrial park in Catalonia. The “Cap de Creus” peninsula is the last spur of the Pyrenees and the easternmost point of the Iberian Peninsula.
The combination of both marine and inland environments makes Cap de Creus Natural Park the first of its kind in Catalonia.

THE NEARBY RUINS D'EMPORDA: Empuries has a very nice beach, which is dwarfed by the most important archaeological site in Spain, like the ruins of the Greek Paleopolis at Sant Marti d´Empuries, with the Neopolis, necropolis and the Roman Ruins as well as the museum of the excavations. The foundation of Empuries is ascribed to the Greeks who had settled at Marsseille in 550BC. A visit to the ruins shows the market, the agora, the holy area where the temples stood and the main one dedicated to Jupiter. Among a group of altars, the statue of Aesculapius was found, a reproduction of which can be seen. The museum shows reproductions of the most valuable finds, which are kept in Barcelona and Girona. The ruins of a Christian basilica and Visigoth sarcophagi are found in the harbour area. Of the Roman town, the southern wall, the amphitheatre and the arena are preserved as well as the ruins of a Roman villa.

Fabulous property with an equally fabulous view!
Fantastic location with a magnificent view situated next to the National Park. A no-through road so little traffic with the occasional festival noise early evening drifting up the hill. Only a 10 minute drive way from the main town/supermarkets. Property finished to a high standard throughout. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils etc and the two fridges were ample for our needs. Karen provided a wonderful welcome pack and even a water filter jug which gave us cold water rather than buying bottled water. The beds were very comfortable and the showers in the bathrooms were powerful. The adjoining bedroom for our grandson was ideal and the cot Karen provided was excellent with a proper mattress. Superb outdoor areas with lots of seating and shade. The pool was ideal for 8 adults and the extended pool steps were enjoyed by our grandson. Karen has gone the extra mile and really thought about what guests would like and the little touches like the salad and vegetable patch and eggs from the hens made our stay more enjoyable. And not least the giant chess set which certainly kept some of our party very quiet! It was useful to have a small gym on site and the weights were used regularly however the spinning bike was looking very tired and could do with replacing. This was the only negative for a superb property where we felt very happy, safe and secure and would not hesitate to recommend to families or a larger group of adults.

très belle maison, décorée avec gout, assez haute en altitude avec une belle vue .
belle maison, très propre, mais ne bénéficiant pas de l'entretien nécessaire, avec plusieurs pannes ou dysfonctionnement: panne de jacuzzi (depuis 5 mois...) eau tiède, panne de portail, panne de climatisation, hotte aspirante en cuisine. le coté désagréable est l'omniprésence de la propriétaire. quand au coté écolo, critiquant le café et le sopalin, assez dérisoire quand on gagne des sous en bétonnant la montagne....

Spectacular setting
We were a family group who stayed for 2 weeks including an elderly aunt and the villa was perfect for our needs. All on one level with easy access to the pool and other outside facilities. We had a brilliant stay at the villa and we all felt very much at home there. The bedrooms are very spacious , kitchen facilities were first class and everything was very well maintained. Karen has a beautiful home and she did all she could to help us with information and even provided a wheelchair for the aunt. Would have no hesitation in recommending this villa for a perfect vacation as there is plenty to see and do in Roses and surrounding areas.

Very Impressive Villa!
We had booked this villa well in advanced and at our long anticipated arrival we were not disappointed. The house and grounds are spacious and very well maintained. A lot of thought has gone into the interior design with a considerate mix of high specification fittings and homely charm. The views over Roses are amazing and the kids really enjoyed the exterior; pool, jacuzzi, chess. etc. For part of the holiday we were joined by an elderly relative so the level access features around the villa were much appreciated. Karen was an excellent host and provided us with a most generous welcome pack upon arrival. If you are considering this part of Catalonia for a holiday Casa de l'albada has to be first on your list!

Cette villa est somptueuse et la vue magnifique. Karen est aux petits soins et le service quotidien de ménage est un atout. Nous avons fait appel au chef pour certain repas le soir, et c'était vraiment de grande qualité. Bref des vacances réussies...

How do you say 'Zen' in Spanish?
We stayed just over a week in Roses, and we're pleased with our choice of a place to stay. Upon arrival, the deco and the garden gave us a relaxed feeling. It is a little out of town, but the top of a hill brings a cool breeze, a great view and a lot of privacy. We saw fire works from the pool, sunsets from the hot tub, And a jet ski race from the hike out the backdoor. Karen made our stay in a fabulous home even better. Restaurant recommendations, day time exclusions, and a fully equipt home with beautiful garden...made the time fly by. The house is decorated with style, and stays cool even with the hot outdoors. Roses itself is a great little town. The people are friendly, plenty of restaurants, and a huge beach. The AquaBrava water park on the out skirts of Roses provided a great way to cool off in fresh water. The nearby natural park has ruins from 4000bc. The marked trails were not to difficult, but having hills to climb and decend gave us some morning exercise and a fabulous view of the bay of Roses. I am looking to book my next trip back...so be quick to get your dates!

Everything that you need for an idyllic stay
Karen has thought of everything and the house does not disappoint. The views are stunning and facilities offered in it are second to none. It is a great base for visiting the Dali museum at Figueres or the old fishing of Cadaques which is a nearby drive. I only wished we had booked a longer stay.

This is the whole package!
My husband, our 26-year old son, and I just completed a six-day stay at this wonderful house in Roses, high on a hill overlooking the harbor. The view is spectacular from almost every room. We loved the walks from the back of the house on ancient paths through the foothills of the Pyrenees Mountains. The paths are lined with old stone walls, several stone shepherd's huts, and scenic vistas. The hiking paths were an unexpected bonus, also wildflowers were in abundance. Karen, the owner, met us at the house with a light lunch and checked with us consistently to make sure our needs were met. In addition to renting a car, with Karen's recommendation, we hired Steve an English-speaking driver who was delightful. He drove us on short excursions to France, Cadequez, Perlada, Figueres, Girona, as well as to and from Barcelona at the beginning and end of our stay. We felt well taken care of during our stay and would love to do it again.
