Villa suggestions abroad

I am looking for a villa for next May half term for six adults and two young children. I'm looking for somewhere with a garden for the children to play in and a full size pool, beach preferably sandy and within walking distance. It would be great if markets/shops were nearby and within an hours drive from the airport. I don't want too much concrete or hazards for the children. Table tennis preferably.

Under £3000 for the week if possible. Areas I am looking at are France, Portugal, Spain, Greece or Italy.

I just can't find anything that really seems to fit all those criteria. Has anyone got any suggestions please? Four beds ideal, but possibly could manage in three.

My family have lived in various areas of mainland Spain. For your price levels I think you would be better with some hidden gems rather than bigger tourist destinations.
My first suggestion is Catalonia which fits many of your requirements. Flights into Reus, less than an hour to the coastal area linked below.

Beach access but a drive to the local town of Amettla de Mar.

Thanks, love all of those! We have used Vintage before a couple of times and found them good.
