A perfect place to practise: scuba diving, sea watching, snorkelling... and you donât need to be an expert, because you will find professionals who will guide you and show you the most marvellous places in this privileged sea bed.
The house was lovely. Very comfortable beds, great outdoor spaces, well equipped kitchen. The only thing that was not great was the check-in process. The cleaning lady put the keys into the wrong lockbox and we couldn't get in. We texted and called the contact number, but it took the manager 1.5 hours to get back to us. Such a slow response on the day of the check-in was very disappointing. We also had no luck when asking about TV remotes. They didn't work and we asked if there might be spare batteries in the house in case that was the problem. The manager said there were no extra batteries and she wasn't planning to stop by to fix it. Otherwise, great stay.
We absolutely loved our stay here. The location was perfect for day trips around Costa Brava and the town was so charming. We made daily stops to the bakery across the street and market down on the corner. Our two dogs were in heaven with the fenced yard and I was the same with the KITCHEN! I also loved that there was a speaker so we could enjoy music during our nightly card game! Would love to visit in the summer and would definitely book this home again.
The villa is beautiful and tastefully decorated. A great location within walking distance of some amazing restaurants.
The one thing that would be improve the place is to have a welcome pack on arrival as there was nothing, not even a bottle of water. Most places normally provide this and it's a nice gesture.
The outside space is great although I didn't venture into the pool as in Oct it was a bit chilly!
We would stay again!
