About this property

Breathtaking mountain views with big pool, close to Banyoles lake and beaches

El Solei is a beautiful villa located in Puig-Surís, in a quiet, safe and sunny neighbourhood with breathtaking mountain views. Situated only 2 km. from Banyoles lake, 15 km. from Natural Park of the Garrotxa Volcanic Zone, 35 km. from the magnificent Costa Brava beaches, 25 km. from the Girona International Airport and 115 km. from Barcelona city.

The house has got a capacity from 6 up to 14 people. It's a spacious house with 5 bedrooms (one is adapted for handicapped people), three bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen (dishwasher, microwave, coffee machine, juicer, toaster...), a large living room - dining room with TV, TV satellite, DVD, radio-CD, air conditioning, fireplace, internet access,...

2 km. from the house there are the supermarkets, restaurants, shops and the hospital.

• HIKING: The routes have trail markers and are organised in a network of loop trails, and hikers can adapt the route or the stages according to their requirements or level of preparation.

• CYCLING HOLIDAYS: Life looks different when you're sitting on a bicycle: everything takes on the right speed and you become part of a landscape in motion. In El Solei there are lots of kilometres of routes and roads ideal for cycling with the family or with friends, in complete safety, so that you can take in every stretch of the region as if yo were re-creating it each time you pedal. You set the speed when you're on your bike and the infinity of proposals available will adapt to it perfectly.
Unique spots close to the sea or in the mountains, to find the complicity that comes to those who ride bikes. Besides, the house has got a specific enclosed patio to lock your bikes up.

• SHOPPING IN COSTA BRAVA: As you stroll through the romantic historic quarter of Girona, the capital of the province, why not take advantage to do some shopping in the exclusive luxury boutiques and shops that you come across on your way? Besides, next to the house there are two Shopping Malls or Shopping Centres where you will find all kinds for clothes, jewels, shoes, perfumes and gifts among others.

• GOLF: The house is located 9km from Girona Golf. It's an 18-hole, par 72 golf course designed by the English architect F.W. Hawtree, seeded entirely with Penncross, the best quality grass for playing golf. A course that is entirely adapted to its natural surroundings, featuring an advanced sprinkling system using regenerated water from Girona's purification plant, and meeting the most up-to-date environmental standards. The top nine holes are extremely competitive – their design requires players to use all the clubs in their bags. The bottom nine are simply spectacular, with all the tees set atop walls built with Girona stone, offering impressive panoramic views of the fairways. It is a true pleasure to follow the flight of the ball towards its destination, and encourages many players to take out their woods.

• SUSTAINABILITY: We are committed to defending the environment and the values of sustainability and responsibility because we know that the future of the Earth depends on our behavior towards it.
