Excellent for family gathering
The Villa Rubia is a very nice and comfortable house centrally placed in Cadaques. We were a family of 8, including two small children (age 1 1/2 and 3 1/2) + 6 adults and it functioned excellent.
We spent two weeks in the first part of July and spent most of our time outdoors. The beach in front of the house was more than fine enough for the small ones, so we spent a lot of time there. Some of us went walking or jogging to the lighthouse about 3 1/2 km out, where there is an excellent, pebbly remote beach worth visiting! Visit to the Dali house in Port Llieggat, which is in walking distance (you MUST book online!) and the Dali Museum in Figureres is a must!
At arrival (late arrival) we had a nice, well functioning agreement wth the house owner, and it was easy to find. There is only one parking (garage) but there is free parking about 1 km walk to the southeast. It was sometimes difficult to find room in the afternoon, however when the "crowds" left, there was always room if you waited until early evening.
The house is well equipped, aslo with a crib and 3 chairs for small children. Specially the kitchen was well equiped with a big fridge, nice , big stove, etc. We loved the outdooor place downstairs with room for everyone to be seated. From the owner we got an excellent advice which we used several nights: the next door restaurant (MUT) was willing to serve us the best tapas in town (to our opinion) in our garden! Since we had the two small ones, this was an excelllent arrangement for us. We had our own plates, etc and wines and they came with the food!
There are fans which was needed for the rather warm nights, and it funcitoned well for us.
The only minus (which was balanced by the excellent location) was the noise at nights. The renovation of the very nearby "dumping" came every morning at 5ish... , and a couple of nights French youngsters, who obviously were partying at the beach, kept us awake. It was a bit strange that the police did not remove them as police frequently patrolled the streets during days and evenings.
In total, this is a place and a house we would love to come back to, we had en excellent holiday in Villa Rubia in all respects.
