Guest comments
House exceeded expectations and we loved it. Fabulous beach and pretty town. Johnson family 2011
The villa and garden were great and the cot and highchair you arranged were very good too. We would not hesitate to return or recommend it to friends or family. Brown family 2010
Lovely and clean, loved the shower, nice and powerful. Fully stocked didn't want for anything. Had breakfast in the garden every day. Staff at swimming pool friendly and helpful and we loved the beach too. Hutton family 2010
A lovely rustic villa with gorgeous views in a great location, what more could anyone want. The garden was perfect, plenty of garden furniture. My boys loved the swimming pool. Talbot family 2009
The villa was in a good location and plenty of space for a game of boules in the garden! Outside facilities and furniture excellent, and the TV and satellite was a bonus for the kids. The pool and club were excellent and well worth it. Harding family 2009
Owner profile
About the owner
We are a retired married couple living in Richmond, Surrey. We acquired the original land for this villa in the mid 1970s and throughout the years since we have had every school summer holiday at the house, as our children were growing. It is now a holiday home for our grandchildren!
We visit regularly throughout the year, particularly now in the spring and autumn, and still after all this time, love the area and all it has to offer.
Year purchased: 1970's
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We built our house in what was a vineyard. Gradually other detached houses were built in the area, but all are well spaced out with good gardens. The house has been extended and a new kitchen is being put in this winter.
We chose this area as it is a little away from the noise and bustle in Estartit itself, but it is just as easy to go into Torroella de Montgri, a small town with a very Spanish feel to it.
Unique benefits of the property
The large garden provides a variety of different areas in which to sit - sun or shade, and plenty of space for children to play.
The pool and lawns at the club are nearby, as is a large supermarket for all your self catering requirements.
