Small sandy bays with rocky headlands, pine trees and clean water.
Only a few kilometres from Pals, in the town of L’Estartit, is the Medes Islands Marine Reserve, an archipelago formed by seven small islands that are admired the world over by people who practise underwater sports. A perfect place to practise: scuba diving, sea watching, snorkelling... and you don’t need to be an expert, because you will find professionals who will guide you and show you the most marvellous places in this privileged sea bed.

Great property, beautiful town. It is very big and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay. It would be better if kitchen paper towels are provided. There are no shampoos.

Dear Mei and Ning,
Thank you very much for your kind review. We are happy to know that you enjoyed the property, the comfort of the house and the beautiful town.
We also appreciate your constructive feedback about the kitchen paper towels and shampoos. As this is a holiday rental, some consumables are usually self supplied by guests according to their needs, as it isn't a hotel. Nonetheless we appreciate your comments to keep improving the experience.
Thank you again for your visit. We would be very happy to host you again.
Kind regards,
Gemma
Nice and clean place. We really enjoyed the local bakeries and restaurants, especially in the old town. Great facilities.

Lovely villa in a great location
The villa is beautiful and tastefully decorated. A great location within walking distance of some amazing restaurants.
The one thing that would be improve the place is to have a welcome pack on arrival as there was nothing, not even a bottle of water. Most places normally provide this and it's a nice gesture.
The outside space is great although I didn't venture into the pool as in Oct it was a bit chilly!
We would stay again!

Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Check-in, communication
The house was lovely. Very comfortable beds, great outdoor spaces, well equipped kitchen. The only thing that was not great was the check-in process. The cleaning lady put the keys into the wrong lockbox and we couldn't get in. We texted and called the contact number, but it took the manager 1.5 hours to get back to us. Such a slow response on the day of the check-in was very disappointing. We also had no luck when asking about TV remotes. They didn't work and we asked if there might be spare batteries in the house in case that was the problem. The manager said there were no extra batteries and she wasn't planning to stop by to fix it. Otherwise, great stay.

Dear Guest,
Thank you very much for your stay and for your kind words about the house, the beds, the outdoor spaces and the kitchen.
We are truly sorry for the check-in issue and for the slow response that day. We understand how disappointing it was, and this is not the experience and that we normally give to our guests.
Thank you for your constructive feedback. We would be happy to welcome you again.
Kind regards,
Gemma
Heel fijne vakantie gehad. Huis is prima en van vrijwel alle gemakken voorzien. Alle ruimtes voorzien van airco. Heerlijk zwembad wat tijdens het verblijf regelmatig wordt onderhouden. De privé parking is erg praktisch.
In en rond het dorp zijn een aantal goede restaurants. Van simpel tot hoger niveau. Absoluut voor herhaling vatbaar!
We absolutely loved our stay here. The location was perfect for day trips around Costa Brava and the town was so charming. We made daily stops to the bakery across the street and market down on the corner. Our two dogs were in heaven with the fenced yard and I was the same with the KITCHEN! I also loved that there was a speaker so we could enjoy music during our nightly card game! Would love to visit in the summer and would definitely book this home again.

Gorgeous villa, ideal location
My partner and I stayed in the villa for 11 nights and the villa was exactly as the photos show, beautiful. The decor was very tasteful, loved the exposed brickwork and the bathrooms are lovely. Beds, sofas etc were comfortable and the villa is very well equipped, there was even a Nespresso coffee machine!! The wifi worked very well too which was great. The pool was perfect for cooling down, while lazing about in the garden, a little chilly but very refreshing.
The villa is ideal for walking to the many lovely restaurants in the medieval part of Pals but there are also a few restaurants literally 2 minutes from the villa which were very nice. There is market on a Tues where you can get lovely fruit and veg and a lovely deli and baker too but you would need a car to get to the supermarket and the lovely beaches around the area.
Booking with Enric was very easy and he was very helpful in the run up to our holiday. If we visit Pals again we will come back to this villa!
