Guest comments
‘We had a lovely holiday and found the apartment very clean and well equipped and perfect for our needs. We liked the fact that there was plenty to do within walking distance without always having to get into the car’ - Nicola Wimbledon.
‘We had a wonderful relaxing holiday, your apartment is very comfortable and so well equipped, we could not fault it. The complex is very attractive & so well located for everything. We enjoyed discovering Calella & it's wealth of restaurants, realising that our first visit to this region had not actually included a close look at this resort at all and we were therefore very pleasantly surprised’ – Pauline Thames Ditton, Surrey
‘We had a most enjoyable holiday at your apartment within Calella de Palafrugell, which was well equipped. We particularly enjoyed the beaches/picture postcard coves, very clean beach/water Aquabrava, Llafranc for restaurants Pals for historic architecture and Platja d'Aro for shopping. A very memorable holiday!’ - Walters
