About the host
Hosted by Mrs. Ine
I am from the Netherlands, but know Catalyuna very well, since I studied in Barcelona several years. I bought VillaMarcoPolo in 2001 and every year enjoyed it several periods a year enormously, alone, with friends over a long weekend and holidays with my children and friends.
Why they chose this property
The considerations when buying the villa were: quiet area, private pool. the environment for young children and the young adults? Well, in that respect I hit the jackpot with Villa MarcoPolo, even in high season one does not notice this when at the villa, since it is located in a green,very quiet area. And my three children in their age from four to twenty five have and still are enjoying staying with me . Beaches are nearby, on bike within 5 minutes. Numerous bars, several disco's where they can enjoy themselves. Diving, sailing, kitesurfing it has all and still is done.
What makes this property unique
Private pool, a lot of privacy and a lot to do for all ages in the region. Lovely views on the sea, the village L'Escala and the Pyrenees.
