Notes on prices
Lettings do not have to be Saturday to Saturday. Please ask as they can be flexible to suit your flights. We do however try to avoid gaps high season. Prices are for the property for 4 people per week in UK pounds. It is £70 to £80 less depending on the season for 2 people. Please ask for the exact price.
The reason for it costing more for 4 people as opposed to 2 is the extra we have to pay the agents for cleaning, bed linen and towels etc. There are reductions for people providing their own.
Changeover day
Prefer Saturday but can be flexible.

Guest comments
‘This was a lovely base from which to visit all the beaches, medieval villages and even get the train to Barcelona. It was only an hour to France too. The accommodation is very clean and comfortable and the gardens well maintained and tidy with a lovely pool we used well into the evening. We would definitely come again’
‘Thank you very much for the use of your apartment, it has a lovely comfortable and homely feel and proved to be a great base from which to explore that region of Spain. We had a wonderful holiday’
‘We had a very good week in your apartment. It was certainly a very convenient and comfortable place to stay and we made good use of the pool in between visits to Pals Beach and other coves. Thank you very much for all the information which was helpful. We would certainly be interested in using the apartment again, because we know there are many places we did not manage to visit – Gerona and Barcelona in particular’
Owner profile
Richard & Carol at a motor race - not in Spain!
About the owner
Carol and I (Richard) have spent many family holidays in this part of Spain. We now tend to use the apartment for long weekends as well, since flying to and from Gerona airport has become so much easier than it used to be. Occasionally we fly via Barcelona if we want to combine the holiday with a visit to this fantastic city.
Our daughters having used the apartment as children now use it for their family holidays.
We live in Halifax, West Yorkshire.
Our time is spent with a mixture of work, family, gardening and watching Rugby League and or Motor Racing.
Year purchased: 1991
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
We had many family holidays at the camp site at Cypsela and fell in love with the area. We tried a few holidays elsewhere and eventually decided we liked the area so much more than anywhere else that we bought 'our second home' here.
Our children, having grown up with family holidays in the area, still go back as often as they can.
We like it when its busy mid season and like it when its quiet from September to June we just use it to get away and relax.
You will be able to see from our website (see below) that we have got to know the area very well.
Unique benefits of the property
The apartments in El Coto are around 50% owned by Spanish people as holiday homes, which must say something good about their appeal. This tends to mean that weekends are often quite well occupied as the owners come up from Barcelona for Saturday and Sunday but during the week they are never overcrowded.
Out of season they are well suited for golfers with 3 courses very close by. Anyone interested in motor racing will find it a great combination of holiday and sport should they want to visit the Circuit of Catalunya about an hour and a half away. We have been to the Spanish Grand Prix on many occasions as part of our holiday.
