The villas in this family resort are located beside a four star hotel. They are beautifully designed family holiday homes which are air-conditioned through out, on two or three levels and just a short stroll to a beach tucked into its own cove. Casa 24 is a lovely example of these three bedroom holiday homes with sea views. The villa is furnished in a modern chic way, has a fully equipped kitchen and is air-conditioned through-out. On three floors when you include the solarium, the ground floor has an open plan kitchen, dining and living room, bathroom and utility room and has access to patio and private garden (circa 60 square metres) that leads onto the open, communal landscaped gardens of the complex. There is a double bedroom also on this floor with access to large bathroom and shower. The master bedroom has double bed and own balcony with sea-views, the kids room has bunk beds and one single bed & third bedroom enjoys a double bed with access to private balcony. The upstair main bathroom is very large and enjoys the additional advantage of a full size bathtub. Sleeps 7 easily and can accommodate up to 9 in total if the sofa bed is required. The villa has easy access to both the pools and playground and wi-fi is included in the price. Eva and Adrian manage thecomplex and are here in the village of L'Ampolla to help with all your holiday requests and assist you with whatever you need. If this villa is not available for your dates, we have a range of wonderful other options in the complex. All the villas we have are in fact ideal for groups of up to 6/8 people, for families and of course for children and young adults. The nearest beach is Cala La Mola, just a short stroll away and the coastline is wholly unspoiled with crystal clear water, walks along hidden coves and beaches, just perfect for a relaxing family holiday. Then you have the beach of Santa Lucia and the famous beach of Cap Roig, all within walking distance. Another nice feature of the resort is its proximity to a luxury Spa that offers a huge range of therapies and massage available; there are numerous restaurants within the hotel and also other restaurants within walking distance as well as the option of renting tennis or paddle ball courts for those who fancy some exercise in the sun. We, as in Eva and Adrian, are here to welcome you on your arrival, provide you with an information pack on this cosy corner of the Mediterranean and a welcome surprize.

MORE INFORMATION ON THE AREA:
L’Ampolla which is a quaint fishing village on the edge of the Ebro Delta, a destination which has been a favourite with mainland Europeans for over four decades; they are attracted by its quiet charm, sandy beaches, mountain backdrops and the delta. In fact the delta is a nature reserve protected by UNESCO and is famous as a birdwatchers paradise. L'Ampolla itself is has an elegant charm given by the harbour and maritime boardwalk and a relaxed pace of life. It is known through-out Catalunya for its sea-food and the Marina is dotted liberally with cafes and restaurants. Facilities in the village include a large municipal swimming pool, with the mountains as back-drop, tennis facilities, a summer season night-club and lots of sandy beaches where beach volley ball and sun tans are the order of the day. L’Ampolla also has a busy schedule of events over the Summer and Autumn with music concerts, festivals and special events. You can check it all out on the village web site on http:///eng/
The site is in five languages. Worth a mention is the gypsy market every Wednesday morning where you can find anything from a conga drum to an Arabic tapestry to smoked traditional hams and country olives. It is well worth a potter around for the noise and the bustle and the views of the blue Mediterranean stretching into the horizon. Also worth a mention is the summer camp for kids every day during the summer from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. At just five euros a day, its great value and offers the possibility of having the kids entertained for a few hours as mom and dad take some time out. From Les Oliveres/Cap Roig resort, L’Ampolla is a thirty minute walk by the coastline on the GR9.2 (a way-marked walk that begins in the Pyrinees and goes all the way down the coast and to Valencia) The walk winds its way past hidden coves and beaches, along cliff-tops as the turquoise Mediterranean glitters in the sunshine. Its certainly an idea to ear-mark one morning for this mini-hike into the village as it is truly an invigorating and scenic way to build an appetite before lunch in one of L’Ampolla’s many restaurants.
The nearest big is Tortosa, a old town on the banks of the Ebro river; lest we forget, we should begin with one notable annual event that will simply take your breath away. The Renaissance Festival of Tortosa takes place in the last fortnight in July when groups from all over Europe descend on the town and literally convert it into a Medieval village. There is spectacle and fun, stage shows and sword play, eating and drinking in food halls based on bygone times, thrilling theatre and fireworks to light up the imagination. So if you are lucky enough to be holidaying with Catalan Ways in July, you simply have to visit Tortosa and revel in the spectacle and drama of this unique event. On a less dramatic note, Tortosa is the capital of the delta, a mid-sized town on the Ebro river. It is of striking beauty, dominated as it is by the Parador or old castle that overlooks the town and the river. It has a wonderful park with a huge avenue of Maple trees and of course, the customary playground. The magnificently restored old style food market is a throw-back in time where the scent of seasonal fruits and olives, traditional meats and strong coffee blend in the air. It is open in the mornings from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and is well worth a visit as it has not changed in character since the turn of the last century. A visit to the Parador hotel is also recommended as it offers splendid panoramic views of the city, the Ebro and the ‘Els Ports’ mountain range which rise from the great floodplain in the distance. Have a walk around the garden and battlements, order a coffee in the Parador bar and soak in a different world.
Then just an hour and a half away is Barcelona, the capital of Catalunya, one of the most avant garde cultural and artistic centres in Spain. You can get the train early in the morning from L'Ampolla and in less than an hour and a half, be in the centre of this metropolis; there you can discover the brilliantly idiosyncratic art and architecture of Antoni Gaudi as you stroll through Parc Guell, an urban oasis dotted with whimsical buildings and colourful mosaic sculptures of creatures straight out of Alice in Wonderland. Take a break from shopping in the L'Eixample neighborhood and visit Casa Batllo and Casa Mila, Gaudi-designed apartment buildings whose nautilus-spiral staircases and seashell-inspired exteriors suggest that Captain Nemo was the architect. And you can’t visit Barcelona without going to La Sagrada Familia, the unfinished Gaudi cathedral whose 300-foot ‘Smartie’ spires give the city skyline a surreal birthday cake look. And whether you're rambling among the buskers and artists of La Rambla (where some of the street lamps overhead bear Gaudi’s flamboyant stamp) or tucking into tapas in the shadow of the great cathedral, you'll realize that in Barcelona, strange and wonderful things are everywhere. It is just one of those cities that never ceases to surprise. It truly does make for a wonderful day excursion away from the beach and the Mediterranean.
The villas are similar in size and design and are located a short distance to a four star hotel which offers access to restaurants and Spa.
There are two sections in Les Oliveres Resort. One is row of eight villas that enjoy spectacular sea-views. From the patio and garden or the balconies, you have breath-taking views over the pool (which is rectangular) and onto the Mediterranean and coastline.
The second section of holidays somes are located in the gardens and rolling lawns of the resort with sea-views from the balconies.
The perfect family beachside resort!
