West
An eighteenth-century stone farmhouse on the plain outside Pals, restored to be lived in all year round.
The mas was a working farm until the 1970s. Its walls are local stone, up to 80 centimetres thick, and the vaulted ground floor once held the animals and the wine press.
The restoration turned the stables into a kitchen and a long living room under the original vaults, with doors onto the west terrace. Upstairs, the bedrooms open off a sitting room in the old hayloft, where the chestnut beams were kept and the roof was insulated from above.
The land
A gravel path between cypresses leads from the lane to the house. Around it are beds of lavender and rosemary, an old well, a vegetable garden and a pool set into the lawn, far enough from the house that the terrace stays quiet.
In the evening the sun goes down behind the Gavarres hills, straight ahead of the terrace, and the stone holds the warmth well after dark. Pals is a fifteen-minute walk through the fields, and the beach a short drive.
Where the light falls.
We visit every home at nine, one and six. This is what the sun does here.

Costa Brava
Begur, Pals and the coves below them: stone villages, pine woods down to the water and old farmhouses on the plain.
The coves face east and get the morning, while houses on the land side of the hill look west over the plain and keep the evening.
See it at the hour
you’d live in it.
Viewings run three times a day, so you can see the home in the light you care about.
