Each of the 11 bedrooms is distinctively decorated in delicate tones. There are seven king-size bedrooms with en-suite facilities, along with two double bedrooms and a quad bedroom, sharing two bathrooms between them. The 11th bedroom is a study that can be converted to an additional twin room where needed. Many of the rooms also boast private terraces or balconies with stunning views.
With its stunning location and outstanding facilities, Villa Mas Mateu is the perfect choice for a luxury holiday on the Costa Brava.

About the area
Located in the heart of the “Golden Triangle,” Villa Mas Mateu offers an unparalleled gateway to the very best of Catalonia. This prestigious region earns its name from a perfect trifecta of Mediterranean allure, starting with its enviable proximity to the Costa Brava. Located less than 10 kilometres away, it offers easy access to the crystalline waters and hidden coves of some of the world’s most beautiful beaches, including the iconic shores of Cadaqués, Aiguablava, and Sa Tuna.
The estate is also embraced by the breathtaking Les Gavarres natural reserve, a lush, protected landscape that rolls elegantly from the sea toward the historic city of Girona. Beyond the natural beauty, the area offers a rich cultural tapestry where history comes to life. Visitors can wander through the cobblestone streets of remarkably well-preserved medieval villages like Peratallada and Pals, both designated UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
The surrounding Empordà province is a crossroads of European charm. To the north lies the border of France, while the sparkling Mediterranean expands to the east. With the vibrant local capital of Girona to the west and the cosmopolitan energy of Barcelona just to the south, Mas Mateu serves as your private sanctuary in the centre of it all.
