We very much enjoyed our stay at Olivella.The villa is spacious and clean with plenty of outside space including a very efficient BBQ!, decked patio and a shaded dining area. The pool,on a lower terrace, is lovely (and although it s overlooked by a neighbors balcony, we only saw them once or twice) There are chickens too , behind the house ,so we had fresh eggs for breakfast every day.!The house itself is quite open plan with plenty of doors and windows giving a fabulous view out over the hills. The kitchen is well equipped but there weren’t enough decent size mugs to accommodate our English tea-drinking habit ! Also we could have done with a fan in each of the bedrooms instead of sharing just one .
A car is essential as there isn’t much in the immediate area but the nearest town is only 5 mins drive and there are out-of-town supermarkets only about 20 mins away . It s a great base for exploring the area,easy access from the airport, less than an hours drive into the heart of Barcelona, the buzzing holiday town of Sitges is 20 mins away, with lots of restaurants and beaches a-plenty.
The only downside we had was the mosquitoes which were voracious so bring plenty of insect repellent/ antihistamine.
Anthony lives locally and so is on hand if there’s any problems .
There were a few mis-communications prior to our stay however I think they were mostly a language issue! (But maybe it would be helpful to know at the beginning,that you can pay by credit card rather than cash as stated in the contract ,as this would have saved me some anxiety!)
All in all we had a thoroughly good time and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the property.
Thank You Anthony
