We completely underestimated the beauty of this Southern European beach front community. The views are spectacular, water warm and inviting, and people welcoming. The apartment sits an easy 5 minute (downhill) walk to the promenade and beach; and in the opposite direction a 5 minute walk to the stunning Cliff Walk of Costa Brava. After 5 days of pretty intense exploring, we still remained amazed by the views and the landscape - jagged cliffs falling into clear blue Mediterranean waters, the town and promenade restaurants lit up at night, the rolling hills supporting the San Sebastian Lighthouse.
The apartment is large and a casual feel. Lots of good areas to retreat to (patios, roof deck, TV "cove"); and a large common area on the main floor for community meals and relaxing after a long day at the beach or explore. There were neighbors around, but we felt like we had the area to ourselves and the pool. And felt completely comfortable and safe (not easy for a generally nervous traveler like me). Fully stocked with everything a full family needs. We were especially thankful for all the beach gear - chairs, umbrellas, scuba.
We picked a hot busy week to visit. But the apartment location made beaches very accessible and a great retreat at the end if a busy beach day or exploring. Drinks on the patio, at the local restaurants, and plenty of fans kept us cool in the evenings.
Really a one of a kind experience for us, and highly encourage others to enjoy. (Although the residents of Llfranc may want to keep this corner if the world quiet), we have learned the secret! A truly special place.
