Owner profile
About the owner
These three units are owned by three Irish brothers and their wives. We are all professional people, with young families of our own.
Year purchased: 2005
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
Anthony and Mary had decided to invest in a Spanish property in 2005, as they were planning to retire over the next year. Having spent previous years holidaying in campsites in the Costa Brava region, they decided to begin the search around this area. Our villa came on the market, Colm (an Architect) flew out to view the property, and it was a done deal! We built the pool and decking in 2006, and have spent every spare minute travelling out to Begur since. We all have fallen in love with the village; it's restaurants and boutiques; the weekly markets and traditional Sardana dances in the square; the fabulous beaches and scenery in the Emporda region; authentic genuine Spain, steeped in history and culture. There is huge excitement in our family when we set off for Begur!
Unique benefits of the property
This property has its own pool, newly built in 2006, with surrounding wooden decking. There is a toddler splash pool attached to the big pool. The pool has direct sunlight from morning to night. Importantly, the pool has a gated access for peace of mind if small children are staying. There are beautiful views of the sea, and aspects to Begur castel and the surrounding countryside. The villa is located in a residential area, which is quiet,safe and peaceful. As we have spent a good deal of time in Begur with our families since acquiring the villa, it was important to us that it became home from home. We have made the apartments comfortable, with all the necessary items for an enjoyable holiday. We rented in 2010 and thankfully, we have had very positive reviews from our visitors.
