A beautifully designed house in a lovely peaceful location. Id recommend it!
This house is modern, clean, cool and elegant. Set on the edge of a little traditional Spanish village, there is very little passing traffic. We loved sitting out on the terrace, in the garden, and in the roof terrace, there are mountain views on three sides and the sea in the distance. The garden is lovely, with an olive tree, bay tree, herb garden, roses, geraniums passion flowers etc. all on an automated irrigation timer! We had fun playing Spanish Monopoly! The coast is very busy, there are a number of nice beaches to visit, then its lovely to return to the peace and quiet of this house. You can walk to the village in a few minutes, the owner told us about Maita's shop, so we went and met Maita and her family, and were able to buy a good range of fresh ingredients for self-catered food - particularly huge tomatoes, peaches, salads and watermelon. There are a couple of other shops too, but we didnt go to them as we got everything we needed at Maita's! There is a bar and a restaurant on the square. The house is well equipped, and we appreciated having a washing machine with liquid, washing line and pegs and an airer. We used the house as our base for visiting Catalonia, we were taking part in a Music Course in Besalu, (a beautiful historic town), and also visited Salvador Dali's museum at Figueres; Greek and Roman Ruins and the beach Empuries, (my favourite day) also the coast at Cap De Crues and Cadaques (nice fish restaurant, but too busy for me), monasteries and museums. There is plenty to visit! We really enjoyed our holiday.
