About this property

Rustic 19th Century Farmhouse In Quiet Rural Setting Near Llafranc And Tamariu

The Good News - Although booked for most of June, July and August, Can Ralet is still free up to June 8th, from June 22nd to July 5th, from August 3rd to August 10th and from September 7th onwards.

Theoff-season periods offer a lot - the beaches are often emptier, but the sea is just as warm. Down near the beaches the bars and restaurants are all going strong, but you should be able to park more easily and the waiters (and waitresses!) are not so stressed.

And however busy the villages are, our regular guests know that they can always find peace and quiet - and greenery - and space - here, only minutes away from the beach.

So if you're looking for somewhere that provides easy access to some of the Costa Brava's loveliest coastline and its friendliest small resorts, Can Ralet is the answer. If you want to be near some of the best restaurants in Spain, Can Ralet is an ideal centre. Not to mention our 'Ruta de Vino' that takes you to some of the area's best wineries. (Let us know in advance and we can make a booking for you to visit a bodega.) Neighbouring Palafrugell has the most impressive wine mercant in Spain, with bottles from €1.50 to €20,000!
And if you want to sleep peacefully, away from the noise and bustle, Can Ralet is quiet and peaceful. Open fields, a 'self-help' vegetable garden and the scents of eucalyptus and jasmine. And if you're a bird-watcher, this year we have welcomed Golden Orioles and a Kestrel (not very popular with our chickens!).

Can Ralet consists of two bedrooms (one double bedroom, one twin bedroom), a kitchen diner, a cozy sitting room with a library, TV, and a selection of CD's and even vinyl! There's a spacious bathroom and French windows lead to the ‘Italian’ garden giving on to extensive lawns and overlooking the house’s vegetable garden. The kitchen/diner gives on to a charming covered floral terrace featuring a large dining table and sitting area. A Norwegian guest said recently that he's coming back next year simply to relax and read.

Parking is on the lawn less than 5 yards from the terrace. Both Llafranc and Tamariu offer (in addition to their charming beaches), numerous restaurants, hotels and cafés. There is also a restaurant and bar in the (rather Ritzy) hotel at the San Sebastian lighthouse, as well as a very fashionable Japanese restaurant and a relaxed bar in what used to be the lighthouse-keeper's house. On Cala Pedrosa there is an informal beach bar offering drinks and excellent light meals during the summer months. Do let us know in advance if you'd like us to make a restaurant reservation or recommendation.

Oh, and by the way. We've a sturdy bicycle for those who want to 'pop' down to the local shop for a loaf, a croissant or a bottle of wine. It's uphill on the way back, though!

A great stay
We had wonderful holidays here. The hosts were always helping whenever needed, very kind and friendly. The flat is good, tastefully refurbished with some antiques. The children loved to play in the garden and the spacious shady terrace is a perfect choise to have a lunch at a hot summer day.

einfach nur wundervoll
Teresa und Tony, die Gastgeber, sind einfach umwerfend. Ganz reizend und liebenswert und immer darauf bedacht, dass es an nicht's fehlt. Die Fewo ist phantastisch. Die großzügig angelegte Terrasse, die vielen Sitzgelegenheiten und das große Grundstück machen es einem leicht einfach einmal nicht's zu unternehmen und die Gegebenheiten zu genießen. Die beiden nächst gelegenen Badebuchten sind in 15 Minuten zu Fuß zu erreichen. Die Landschaft ist wunderschön, es gibt unwahrscheinlich viel zu entdecken. Ein Auto ist unerlässlich. Einkaufsmöglichkeit in Palafrugell, Lidl bspw. hat jeden Tag geöffnet. Alles in allem perfekt. Wir kommen gern wieder.

Nous avons passés un excellent séjour dans l'appartement de Thérèsa et Tony, qui nous ont réservés un accueil plus que chaleureux. L'appartement est dans un style rustique, et l'extérieur est un havre de paix. La région est belle, et une voiture est essentiel pour la découvrir. Merci encore à vous deux et à votre famille pour votre accueil, nous ne manquerons pas de passer vous dire bonjour si nous repassons dans la région.

About the host

Hosted by Tony Axon

Host profile image
The owners of Can Ralet and Sycamore Cottage are Tony(English) and Maria Teresa (Catalan). Tony is a (semi) retired publisher, Maria Teresa used to own a well known restaurant near Cambridge and another popular one on the road to Begur. Both are happy, when possible, to provide guidance and offer suggestions for visitors.

Why they chose this property

A love of the quiet and tranquility, as well as the greenery, that Can Ralet offers year-round. Ideal for children - safe gardens, visits to feed the chickens and to 'self service' in the large vegetable garden.

What makes this property unique

One of very few genuinely rural settings to be found on the Costa Brava. Whether it is August or January, Can Ralet (the name of the house) is always peaceful. Quiet nights (except for the occasional nightingale) and peaceful evenings.
