Beautiful spot, very convenient and quiet, with lovely views. Very friendly hosts and welcome. Unfortunately our heating was not working but our hosts made a second flat available for our showers and the fireplace worked, thankfully!

Excellent Location -

The house is lovely and the location could not be better. However, we had a misunderstanding with the listing and the actual rooms we booked. By the listing photos, we were under the impression that we were booking the entire house, but found out only when we arrived that it is actually 3 apartments in one house and we had only booked the ground floor. There was a possibility that someone else could book another part of the house while we were there and we would have had to share the house with strangers.One of our travel companions spoke Spanish, so we were able to come to a compromise and able to use the 3 bedrooms and bathrooms we thought we were getting with the rental but it should be made clearer on the listing. Also, only after we entered the unit did we find out that there were video cameras (or motion sensors, not sure which) in bedrooms and common areas. We would have just cancelled the booking and left, but we were unable to find alternate lodging so we covered the cameras and stayed But that needs to be disclosed up front before anything is booked and cameras in the bedroom are never acceptable in any circumstance!!All the doors in the entire house lock with a key and we were only give keys to the entry door and 1 patio door. There are full walls of door to be able to have the ocean breeze, but we were unable to open them. Also it seems very unsafe in case of a fire to not be able to open doors if needed. We didn't have access to the locked upstairs balcony.

Spectacular! The perfect location to relax with easy access to fun & food!

We had a wonderful time relaxing in this well-equipped home and loved that we could walk out the gate and be in the sand on the sea. The home was very clean and comfortable. Parking at the rear was a fantastic bonus. Dining and entertainment was close by and it was a five minute walk up to the main "strip"; grocery stores, bakery, and meat markets were also an easy walk - less than 10 minutes. Our host was available and responsive to answer any questions. Highly recommend!

Location on the beach is excellent and garden is outstanding. First, the "check in" was difficult, as there was very little instructions in advance. In addition, there is no sort of instructions that I could find that are typical in VRBOs to tell you how to run everything in the house (TV, stove, AC...). The setup of the place, as other reviewers have mentioned, is really odd. If you are sleeping in the "master" space, you may have to walk through a shared space (with other renters), then through one of the two bedrooms in the house to get to the kitchen and living room. It was okay for us, but for some this may be awkward. Some of the keys we just couldn't get to work, so the house stayed unlocked most of the time. In addition, there are cameras all over the house, including internally that we place towels over. The owner ensured us these were only for when it was unoccupied, but we were still paranoid about it and covered them. We had no air conditioning except for a small portable which was ineffective. However, someone came the day we checked out to install new AC, so this shouldn't be a problem in the future.

Merveilleux séjour

Excellent séjour, tres belle villa et jardin magnifique en bord de mer. Formalités faciles pour l'arrivée et le départ, literie confortable, clim un vrai plus vu la chaleur et mobilier moderne. Seule surprise, nous n'avions pas compris que nous ne serions pas seuls dans la maison car le haut etait occupé (pas très explicite dans l'annonce) et que nous devrions nous organiser avec les autres locataires pour la place de parking. Malgré cela, tout s'est bien passé et nous garderons un excellent souvenir de ce sejour.

Wunderschömer Aufenthalt

Wir haben mehrere Wochen in diesem wunderschönen Haus verbracht. Die Lage und die sehr freundliche Betreuung durch die Vermieterin waren perfekt. Es hätte nicht schöner sein können. Wer kurze Wege ans Meer und in den lebendigen Ort liebt und trotzdem die Ruhe im grossen Garten oder auf der herrlichen Terrasse genießen will, der ist hier richtig.

We couldn’t have been happier with property. We stayed in the ground floor apartment and the garden was absolutely perfect, plenty of space and shade; and on the beach. Christina was the perfect host, she was always available via WhatsApp and she really made us feel welcome. We would definitely book this apartment again if we went back to Platja D’Aro

Disappointed

This property which is totally misrepresented on Vrbo website. The property is on two levels which can, we understand, be let separately. Before booking we asked the owner if the quoted price was ‘for the whole property’ and received a reply affirming this. On that basis we made this booking. On arrival we contacted the owner only to be told the upper level was private and not part of the rental. The website clearly shows many pictures of the upper level. Owner has been living in the upper level whilst we were here - had we known this would be the case we would absolutely NOT have rented this property. The lower level only allowed access from the hallway to the living space by walking through one of the bedrooms. The other main bedroom was separate from the rest of area, had no central heating and looked out on to the car parking area. The property was advertised with parking but we had to keep in touch with the owner to ensure space was available when we needed it. On several occasions parking was not available as the owner’s visitors parked there. The weather was unseasonably cold but the central heating was unreliable - we had to contact the owner a number of times to reset the boiler as this was located in the ‘private‘ upper level. In addition it seemed to be set to a low temperature and switched on at strange times. Satellite TV was supposed to be available but none of the channels available had been subscribed to and so no TV was available to watch. We were surprised not to have a ‘welcome pack’ with some basic supplies - we arrived late evening due to flight delays and would have appreciated this. Also missing was basic information about the property, how to operate appliances etc. The oven was operated by navigating through computer style menus all in Spanish! Communication with the owner was unfortunately a little difficult as we spoke no Spanish - we made do with pidgin French and Google Translate! Despite all this the location of the property is ideal but it is not 5*, with care and attention it could be! All in all this was not the property or experience we expected and had paid for. It has proved impossible to contact Vrbo to feed back this information hence the lengthy review!

Urlaub bei Cristina 18-31.07.21

Wir sind mit dem Aufenthalt in dieser Erdgeschosswohnung (im Inserat bei FeWo etwas übertrieben als "Villa" bezeichnet) sehr zufrieden gewesen. Imponiert die hervorragende Lage direkt am Strand mit dem Vorteil im mit Palmen, Kakteen und Hiazinten gezierten Vorgarten des lässigen Outfits zu frühstücken, der unmittelbaren Nähe zur Promenade mit der Möglichkeit abends im exbelibigen Restaurant mit Ausblick zum Meer das Essen und den guten Wein zu genießen, der Nähe zu der Kaufstrasse, und dem Nachteil dass manche Passanten voyeuristisch werden können. Die Wohnung hat gute Atmosphere der Gemütlichkeit, Wärme. Die Besitzerin des Hauses Cristina ist sehr sympatisch, des guten Herzens und immer freundlich gewesen. Wir haben uns gefühlt wie Zuhause, gut erholt und freuen uns auf baldiges Wiedersehen.
