Please note that bedlinen (€12 p. bed) and towels (€6, 1 big, 1 small) are not included, but can be reserved at a modest price via my local agent. The local agent will await you in the villa upon arrival and show you around.
Final cleaning is included in the rental fee for stays of 1 week or more.

Aircon is not included in the rent, since this is primarily only used in July and August, it can be reserved at € 15 p.day.

There are several beaches in L'Escala, Riells beach (1.200 mtrs.), a very large sandy beach with possibilities of sailing, pedalos, surf. Montgo beach (1.400 mtrs), app. 14 minute walk, 4 minutes by car.
The old village has three small beaches.

Just outside the village to the north is a beautifull archeological site along the sea side, Ruinas Empuries is a national monument, therefor an unspoiled seaside with pine trees along the coast. A path of 2 kilometers only for walking and cycliing leads from L'Escala to St. Marti d' Empuries along the beautifull beach, passing the archeological site.(see pictures in private album owner). Possibility to park under the trees near the beach.

There is a possibility to rent bicycles d in the old village. Do take into account however, that one must cycle up hill when returning.

L'Escala has a population of around 10,000. The town is surrounded by blue flag beaches; At the northern end of the town the Bay of Roses has some of the most beautiful unspoiled beaches anywhere. In the town centre is the popular beach at Riells, and at the back side of Villa Marcopolo is the lovely beach at Montgo, both at 1.200 mtrs.
L'Escala is one of the smaller holidays resorts at the Costa Bravan, perfect for families and independent holidaymakers wanting to avoid the mass-market package holiday resorts. Beautiful beaches, art, historic monuments, nature parks and one of Spain's most important wild bird reserves.

The choice of restaurants in L'Escala are suited to all tastes covering traditional and European recipes in the menu's. Authentic Catalan, Tapas Bars, Fish Restaurants, Pizza's and Pasta's, Chinese and Mexican dishes with price range starting at € 15 for a 3 course menu with water and wine to exclusive meals in Michelin restaurants. Info is available in the villa.

Sport and leisure: There are several golf courses in the area including the excellent Emporda 27 hole course. Cycling is very popular here, the area around L’Escala is mainly flat, and into the Pyrenees for the more serious riders. Tennis, walking, horse riding, go - carting and fishing and other water sports such as kayaking (at Montgo beach), sailing and snorkeling are popular are catered for and there are several scuba diving centres.
At Montgo beach( 1.400 mt) one can rent kayaks, arrange scuba-diving courses, ideal for snorkeling.
At the large Riells beach (1.200 mt) one can rent sailing boats, winds surf, possibilities of waterskiing and jetski.
Also excellent beaches to the north of L'Escala in the Bay of Roses, a paradise for sailing and wind- and kite surfing. All beaches have fine sand and are ideal for sun bathing. At rocky parts an abundance of fish and other marine life, great sites for snorkeling.

Lovely house in a quiet neighbourhood.
Nice clean swimming pool with toys to be used by the kids to play with. We were very fortunate with the weather in October so the pool was used frequently. You could say the interior is a bit outdated as mentioned earlier and could use an upgrade, but thats personal. We thought it was a nice family house and we felt really at home. Just a 15 minute walk from the beach of cala montgo. The surroundings are beautifull. Visited the archeological site in l'escala which is really recommended. Just 45 minutes from the beautifull town Girona. We will love to come back someday!

Wonderful holiday weeks
Spend 3 weeks at the villa Marcopolo, absolutely loved the pool, especially the children, who could not get enough of it.. Hardly were indoors, except to cool down a bit when it was > 37C for a few days, happy with the aircon. The villa has everything one needs, to relax and enjoy, the area the villa is located in is really quiet and green. Used the BBQ a lot and dined at lovely, reasonably priced restaurants in L'Escala, which is a lovely old village. Very nice beaches nearby and a lot of nice places to visit in the Emporda area. Would certainly like to come back to this spot!

It is in a green, peacefull area, one can walk through the forest at the end of the street to the lovely beach of Montgo bay in about 17 minutes.the pool is wonderfull, with pooltoys available for Children, as Well as the terrace with BBQ at the same level as the pool, which we booth used a lot. VIlla is complete re interior and kitchen, Nice to have airco on hot days. As kitesurf lover the bay of Rosas is a top location, the best spot in Europe. The rest of the family can envoyer the clean, Nice beaches.

About the host

Hosted by Mrs. Ine

Host profile image
I am from the Netherlands, but know Catalyuna very well, since I studied in Barcelona several years.
I bought VillaMarcoPolo in 2001 and every year enjoyed it several periods a year enormously, alone, with friends over a long weekend and holidays with my children and friends.

Why they chose this property

The considerations when buying the villa were: quiet area, private pool.
the environment for young children and the young adults?
Well, in that respect I hit the jackpot with Villa MarcoPolo, even in high season one does not notice this when at the villa, since it is located in a green,very quiet area. And my three children in their age from four to twenty five have and still are enjoying staying with me .
Beaches are nearby, on bike within 5 minutes. Numerous bars, several disco's where they can enjoy themselves.
Diving, sailing, kitesurfing it has all and still is done.

What makes this property unique

Private pool, a lot of privacy and a lot to do for all ages in the region.
Lovely views on the sea, the village L'Escala and the Pyrenees.
