French Villas
Spanish Villas
Our Spanish villas are set in Cadaqués, one of the most beautifully preserved towns on the Mediterranean coast. Sitting directly on a rocky peninsula with private beach access and sweeping sea views, these properties offer a level of elegance and seclusion rarely found in European holiday villas. The surrounding marina, quiet coves, and the storied legacy of Salvador Dalí make Cadaqués a truly extraordinary vacation destination for those who appreciate beauty in its most natural form.
Why Choose European Villas for Your Stay?
A private villa gives a European holiday what a hotel cannot: a pool no one else uses, a terrace over the Mediterranean at sunset, a kitchen your chef works in, and the run of an estate that is yours alone.
Space for everyone
Room for the whole group to spread out, with generous living space indoors and out.
Total privacy
A pool, terrace and grounds used by your party alone, on your own schedule.
Staff and a chef
Housekeeping included, with a private chef and concierge arranged where the house does not have them.
Coast or mountains
From Riviera and Costa Brava shorelines to the peaks of the French Alps, a setting to match the trip.
What to do in Europe
Days in Europe move at whatever pace you choose, from mornings on the water to unhurried lunches and evenings wandering ancient towns, often all in the same day.
Beaches & Coves
Swim in hidden calanques and coves, from Cassis to the Costa Brava, where the Mediterranean runs clear, warm and calm.
Boating & Sailing
Charter a boat to a secluded bay for a private lunch, or sail the coastline at your own unhurried pace.
Food & Wine
Provençal markets, Catalan seafood, and long lunches with local wine. The table is part of the escape.
Culture & Villages
Whitewashed hilltop villages, artists' towns like Cadaqués, and centuries of history within easy reach.
