We've stayed a total of 4 times at this villa over the last 5 years and it's about time we thanked Iain and Brenda. (Thank you for prompting us, Iain!)
Their listing is accurate and in fact the reality is even better in our experience. On arrival every time, the villa has been immaculate and Sara has never felt the need to clean!
On our first visit I remember we had a couple of questions about things like local amenities and we got the advice immediately. Since then we saw that everything now appears in the 'guests file' which you should read, as it's full of really useful information.
We would definitely recommend this villa to you. The descriptions are honest and it really is a great place to stay if you want a relaxing holiday in northern spain.
The views from the villa are breath-taking. Sitting out on the terrace each morning with our coffees (there's an espresso machine!) was a perfect way to start each day. Some days, to be honest, we just lazed around the pool (very clean, by the way) but generally we drove down to the beautiful port of San Feliu and planned our days whilst having a snack in one of the cafes.
There's so much to see within a short drive and you absolutely must visit Barcelona, which is very close. Even if you're not interested in architecture or history, you should see the fantastic Gaudi buildings and the Parc Guell. In any event it's a buzzing city and well worth the short drive there. There are so many other great places less than an hour or two's drive and you can even hop over the border into France, which we've done several times, as it's so close.
Beaches - apart from the history and culture, we also love the sea and so Iain and Brenda's place has been perfect for us. You'll never be short of great beaches and coves along the mediterranean coast there.
Food - so many great restaurants it's impossible to pick a favourite. There are suggestions in the guest folder and we suggest you try them all!
Okay, that's it. if you decide to book it, please don't take the dates we want, as we'll be going there again this year!!
