Modern amenities yet affordable and our cottage is a great option for people who need a pied a terre for European travel or want to get away for peace and quiet. Families come back again and again for sea and sun.

If you're looking for comfort and location with heaps of charm this is your place!Kristen and Jacint made our stay wonderful. The small Medeival hamlet that the casita is located in, is sublime. I would come back again and again. What's more, the grand tower house just behind the casita may also be hired, and it is gorgeous!Location is ideal, with every convenience necessary less than a 5 minute drive or 15 minute bike ride away in La Bisbal. Culture abounds everywhere in Baix Emporda with beautiful coves and beaches only 30-40 minutes away by car.Do not hesitate!

Charming house

We had a great time, the house is adorable and has all you need to feel at home. We got a welcome basket with all sorts of goodies, that made us all happy because we were all hungry and tired when we arrived. The location of the house is perfect if you want to go to the beach and explore the medieval towns around. All the information provided by the owner beforehand was very helpful. We stayed for five nights, I wish we could have stayed at least three more days to be able to enjoy the beautiful beaches around a bit more and explore the towns around. We now have an excuse to come back.

Not a bad suggestion about the bed. The room is big enough for an updated one. Thanks for staying! Kristen

Ein Objekt für Tagesgäste und Geschäftsreisende. Für Urlauber relativ ungeeignet!

Auf den ersten Blick wirkt das Haus sehr ansprechend. Leider hält es - genau wie das Dorf - diesem erweckten Anschein aber nicht Stand. Im Ort ist man lediglich in der Lage sich in der Bodega (Öffnungszeit 7.00 Uhr - 19.00 Uhr) ein Baguette, oder auch eine Flasche Wein zu besorgen. Ansonsten ist Cruilles eine Baustelle in der die Arbeit täglich (außer Sonntag) um 8.00 Uhr beginnt. Hämmern, Fräsen, Fliesen schneiden und LKW die Material entladen begleiten einen den ganzen Tag. Auch das Haus hält bzgl. der Einrichtung nicht was es verspricht. Aus ernährungsbedingten Gründen mussten wir mehrfach selbst kochen, da ein entsprechendes Angebot in den Restaurants - wahrscheinlich der Nachsaison geschuldet - nicht zur Verfügung stand. Selber kochen fällt allerdings schwer wenn nur eine kleine Pfanne und ein kleiner Topf zur Verfügung gestellt wird. Die anderen vorhandenen Töpfe waren aus hygienischen Gründen nicht nutzbar. Die Mikrowelle war ebenfalls nicht nutzbar, da es kein Mikrowellen-Geschirr oder Mikrowellen-Topf gab. Die Haustüre im Obergeschoss war nicht zu sichern. Man hätte die Türe auch im abgeschlossenen Zustand von außen aufdrücken können. Wenn ich ein Objekt buche in dem Internet TV angeboten wird, gehe ich davon aus, dass der ein - oder andere Kanal in meiner Landessprache zu empfangen ist. Das war aber nicht der Fall. Es waren nur spanische Programme ungeordnet- und meist doppelt programmiert -, nicht unterteilt nach TV und Musik eingestellt. Ein Wäschewechsel oder Handtuchwechsel nach einer Woche, wie ansonsten üblich, fand nicht statt. Auf Nachfrage teilte die Agentur uns mit, dass der Eigentümer ein großes und ein kleines Handtuch pro Gast zur Verfügung stellt. Unabhängig von der Dauer der Miete. Darüber hinaus wäre ja ein Waschmaschiene da, die kostenlos zur Verfügung gestellt wurde. Leider war die elektrische Zuleitung der Maschine nicht okay, und die Agentur musste erst eine Reparatur veranlassen. Die Elektrik des Hauses wies deutliche Mängel auf. Unser Gesamt eindruck ist da dieses Haus sehr lieblos vom Eigentümer zur Verfügung gestellt wird. Es dient lediglich zum Geld verdienen. Positiv möchte ich allerdings erwähnen das zur Begrüßung 2 Flaschen Rotwein und eine Flasche Wasser vorhanden waren. Die Agentur hat uns wann immer wir Kontakt aufgenommen haben gut geholfen.

It is disheartening that this vacationer had such a miserable time!! The weather was perfect for his stay, but still misery. The house is for fun and good times and I feel terrible when people don't enjoy themselves! I also feel badly that the kitchen was not well equipped. It is unfortunate that he didn't ask the staff for what he was missing. We had a very busy summer and I guess some of the items got broken or lost. The staff that manage the house would have immediately provided kitchen pots and pans which seem to have disappeared after the summer. The staff immediately came to fix the problem with the electricity, they could have easily brought extra pots and pans. That I could have fixed for him, but he didn't like the town, he couldn't find food, he couldn't find restaurants, he couldn't make food, he couldn't find German stations on the TV, wanted another towel. No fun at all. Sad.

Could even be better

Great spot but smaller than we imagined. The atmosphere inside and outside awesome. Kitchen utensils partly old, fittings poor, only few glasses, bathroom needs renovation. Locks at the doors difficult to handle. A bit neglected, but all in all a wonderful place.

Thank you for your stay! And thank you for your very thoughtful review. Sorry that the kitchen utensils and glasses were lacking! We've worked on the doors, but I guess not enough. So glad that you were as fond of the area as we are. Kristen

charming property in quiet location but just a short drive from many areas of interest

A very charming property located in a quiet village full of history. With many large towns, medieval hamlets and fantastic beaches just a short drive away it is an ideal property to stay in. There was just two of us so there was plenty of room in the property which is probably suited for couples or a family with up to two younger children who are safe on stairs as their bedroom is one further level up with a low ceiling.

Urig, geschmackvoll und ruhig

Das Dominizil ist klein, urig aber geschmackvoll. Cruilles ist ein sehr kleiner, mittelalterlicher Ort im Hinterland der Costa Brava. Die Hausverwalterin ist sehr hilfsbereit und stets zur Stelle.

Thanks, Stefan, for the lovely review. The house is not your typical beach apartment, but evocative of another time. It's for guests who seek a bit of quiet, but want proximity to beaches and cultural sites.

About the host

Hosted by Kristen

Host profile image
We're a San Francisco family. Two of our (grown) children live in town and are making a go of it, while one is in Los Angeles on the road to stardom. Kevin is from DC, Kristen from Berkeley. We lived in Spain during a boom time in Spain from 1995 to1998. We were so lucky to have lived in Barcelona. It is the best of the best, though, or course that might hurt San Francisco's feelings. But Barcelona has the size, history, and depth that warrants the accolades.

Why they chose this property

We bought this house at the tail end of a 3 year stay in Barcelona in 1998. Against all the naysayers in Spain , we managed to refurbish and renovate the house and have used it ever since. The old stone houses never lose their charm and resilience. And the beaches, the countryside and the medieval towns are what bring us back. We never get tired of it.

What makes this property unique

The traditional stone houses have a peace and depth to them that the apartments on the beach just can't match. The thing about this house/village/Costa Brava is the peaceful beauty, the range of beaches, and yet world class amenities in a country environment. This is why the cognoscenti from all over Europe come to the Alt and Baix Empordan.
