Concept

Our concept is what the name says: the seasonal renting of coastal villas, on good locations and well decorated quality villas.
We believe in quality over quantity, therefor we only manage hand-picked properties that fit our portfolio, and manage our properties exlusively. This means we know all villas by detail and are the only agency managing them. This philosophy guarantees we have control over our properties and can assure a quality rental for our guests.
But most importantly we like to add a more personal touch to your stay in one of our villas. On our “Experiences” page you can see what this entails.

Our family business


Coastalvillas is a small family run business. Since 1998 we focus on the vacation rental of villas and apartments that meet our standards. Location, equipment and decoration are of high importance to us.

Heritage

Our family has been in the tourism business since the very start of tourism on the Costa Brava in the 1950’s. My grandmother Margot Rothe Brunner (1926-2006) has been commemorated on various occasions as the pioneer of tourism on the Costa Brava.

She arrived from Germany to Calella after the Second World War and fell in love with Calella’s beaches. She opened the first travel agency on the coast and started bringing German tourists.
Years later she opened her own hotel in Calella, Hotel Marina. We grew up living in our hotel amidst many tourists, so have the tourism business literally in our blood!

In 1998, after the hotel boom, we saw an opportunity of renting private villas on the Costa Brava. We started by renting out our own holiday home in Blanes, and have since grown into the professional agency we are today, managing over 60 quality villas on the Costa Brava and Costa Barcelona.

Margot’s granddaughter, Sofia, and her husband, Jofre, now lead the business.
