I think you may have guessed it? is called because it enjoys the most incredible views of the Mediterranean, with a breath-taking vista that looks down upon the Ebro delta and winding, serpentine Catalan coast-line. This house was renovated by an Italian who, in his own way, is an eco-artist. Gifted with ‘green fingers’ and a lot of imagination, the gardens reflect years of prudent planting, terraces and tree-houses, dotted with walkways, hedgerows, flowering plants, raised-garden beds and lots of patios with sea views. And in the middle of this verdant paradise with its winding pathways, there is a quaint little pool with a sun deck, just the right size for floating around in and cooling off on a hot July day. Now the house itself also possesses great charm and is quite substantial with 140m2 of internal space. On the ground there is a drawing room and study, independent kitchen that is connected via sliding French windows to a magnificent 20m2 tiled patio covered with a wooden pergola that provides a perfect panorama of blue sea and sandy beaches to have a boiled egg with toast smothered in butter for breakfast. Or perhaps a low-fat yoghurt with a slice of grapefruit. Breakfast is changeable but the views from the terrace are forever. And lest we forget, on the ground floor there is also a utility room and large bathroom with shower. Now we should note that the stairwell that brings you upstairs is quite a grand and airy structure that leads to a spacious a mezzanine that can be used to curl up on the sofa-bed and read a book or, as it often does, can be used as a third bedroom. There are two other, spacious bedrooms on this floor plus a WC. All in all, a god size for a rural house in the area but also with a huge amount of potential to redevelop. One thing that you will not want to change is the fact that the finca is happily located at the end of the road, embraced by a curve of mountain to the rear so there is no passing traffic only perfect tranquillity. It is also an ecological house with two solar systems, one being a back-up to the main system. There is a main cisterna with a capacity of 18,000 lts that collects rainwater from the roof. The property and gardens are fenced which is important if you have animals or pets. This fenced area is approximately 5000m2 while the rest of the land, more than 3 hectares planted in olive trees and pine forest, is open. The good news is that Panorama is but 7 kilometers from the merry little village of Ampolla where the paella and the prawns are always cooked to perfection while El Perelló town is just a ten minute drive on a country road. This country town is full of cafes & restaurants while the agrobotiga or local co-operative offers a spectacular country wine at 5 euros for 5 liters. Not bad. And we should mention the great Gypsy market that takes place every Saturday morning where you can buy fresh vegetables, cured hams and salami or locally produced hand-made cheeses. Which all brings us to the question. Who is this lovely property for? The answer is simple. Its for anyone who wants to live in paradise, who want the most amazing views of the coastline but also wants easy access to the beaches, restaurants and towns in the area.
