New sunscreens and the entire villa has been painted inside in 2020..
In 2021 the whole villa was painted outside.
Pls look at google maps, satellite, there are only few villas surrounded by so much green trees, thus utmost privacy!

Spacious living/ dining room, newly furnished in 2024. Dishwasher, washing machine and dryer available.
Secluded garden with 100% privacy , only one neighbour higher on the mountain, 700 sqr. metres, property has walls all around. No houses on left and directly in front of the villa.
Three terraces, one at pool level with BBQ and large stone table (seats 10), upper terrace with large table & chairs and lovely view at the sea and Pyrenees. 3Th terrace with table and 5 chairs next to the master bedroom. Two beaches (Cala Montgo and Riels) with restaurants, bars and shops at 1.200 and 1.500 mtrs.

Please note that bedlinen (€12 p. bed) and towels (€6, 1 big, 1 small) are not included, but can be reserved at a modest price via my local agent. The local agent will await you in the villa upon arrival and show you around.
Final cleaning is included in the rental fee for stays of 1 week or more.
Aircon is not included in the rent, since this is primarily only used in July and August, it can be reserved at € 15 p.day.
There are several beaches in L'Escala, Riells beach (1.200 mtrs.), a very large sandy beach with possibilities of sailing, pedalos, surf. Montgo beach (1.400 mtrs), app. 14 minute walk, 4 minutes by car.
The old village has three small beaches.
Just outside the village to the north is a beautifull archeological site along the sea side, Ruinas Empuries is a national monument, therefor an unspoiled seaside with pine trees along the coast. A path of 2 kilometers only for walking and cycliing leads from L'Escala to St. Marti d' Empuries along the beautifull beach, passing the archeological site.(see pictures in private album owner). Possibility to park under the trees near the beach.
There is a possibility to rent bicycles d in the old village. Do take into account however, that one must cycle up hill when returning.
L'Escala has a population of around 10,500. The town is surrounded by blue flag beaches; At the northern end of the town the Bay of Roses has some of the most beautiful unspoiled beaches anywhere. In the town centre is the popular beach at Riells, and at the back side of Villa Marcopolo is the lovely beach at Montgo, both at 1.200 mtrs.
L'Escala is one of the smaller holidays resorts at the Costa Bravan, perfect for families and independent holidaymakers wanting to avoid the mass-market package holiday resorts. Beautiful beaches, art, historic monuments, nature parks and one of Spain's most important wild bird reserves.
The choice of restaurants in L'Escala are suited to all tastes covering traditional and European recipes in the menu's. Authentic Catalan, Tapas Bars, Fish Restaurants, Pizza's and Pasta's, Chinese and Mexican dishes with price range starting at € 15 for a 3 course menu with water and wine to exclusive meals in Michelin restaurants. Info is available in the villa.
Sport and leisure: There are several golf courses in the area including the excellent Emporda 27 hole course. Cycling is very popular here, the area around L’Escala is mainly flat, and into the Pyrenees for the more serious riders. Tennis, walking, horse riding, go - carting and fishing and other water sports such as kayaking (at Montgo beach), sailing and snorkeling are popular are catered for and there are several scuba diving centres.
At Montgo beach( 1.400 mt) one can rent kayaks, arrange scuba-diving courses, ideal for snorkeling.
At the large Riells beach (1.200 mt) one can rent sailing boats, winds surf, possibilities of waterskiing and jetski.
Also excellent beaches to the north of L'Escala in the Bay of Roses, a paradise for sailing and wind- and kite surfing. All beaches have fine sand and are ideal for sun bathing. At rocky parts an abundance of fish and other marine life, great sites for snorkeling.

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.
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.
