Our stay at Villa De Vida was fantastic. The property is positioned atop the hill overlooking Chocolate hole, which gave us a beautiful view of St. Thomas and surrounding waters. Sunsets were excellent, the evenings illuminated with a star-filled sky, and the hillside setting was quite serene. Everything about the residence was spectacular and we thoroughly enjoyed our few days there. Greeted by Dyana on our first day ensured a great start to our stay. The property is very well maintained and surrounded by gorgeous plumeria, bugainvillea, staghorn ferns, and orchids. Each of the three independent bedrooms had spectacular views and offered the unique experience of outdoor showering. Villa De Vida offers the ultimate St. John stay - highly recommended.
Magnifique propriété, très bien entretenue, à refaire , Merci pour tout

Un grand merci pour votre commentaire !
Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez passé un super séjour à Cal Duc et que vous ayez apprécié la propriété et son entretien.
Ce sera un plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau quand vous le souhaiterez.
À bientôt, on l’espère ! 🌿✨
Un excellent séjour dans une belle et grande propriété bien située au calme avec une très jolie vue. Nous louions l'ensemble des trois maisons et la grande salle des fêtes lumineuse et bien équipée.
Les extérieurs sont magnifiques et bien aménagés. La grande salle avec sa cuisine professionnelle est appréciable pour un séjour à 19 ! Les extérieurs sont très bien entretenus et les intérieurs très propres.
Piscine, terrains de foot, de volley, ping pong, barbecue, service à paëlla, jeux pour les enfants rien ne manque.
L'accueil des hôtes, leur gentillesse, leur réactivité à chacune de nos demandes, leur discrétion tout était parfait.
Le seul bémol vient de l'odeur venant à certains courts moments de l'élevage de porcs en contrebas mais les hôtes n'y sont pour rien et ça n'enlève rien à la grande qualité de cet hébergement.
Tout le monde était enchanté !
Merci à Albert et à son frère pour leur gentillesse. Nous espérons revenir à Cal Duc une autre année.

Nous sommes très heureux que le séjour ait été excellent, merci pour toute l'évaluation. Vous êtes un groupe imbattable à tous points de vue, nous serons ravis si vous revenez à Cal Duc.
Éramos un grupo grande y hemos pasado unos días muy agradables en Cal Duc. Hemos ocupado las tres casas y hemos estado muy a gusto. Las casas bien equipadas y la piscina imprescindible con el calor que ha hecho. A destacar el gran comedor y su equipamiento, además de la buena disposición del propietario Albert.

Great house, great stay
We have been at Cal Duc more than 10 times, and it is a place that we always recommend to all our friends.
The house is very comfortable and has all the items you need.
We usually go there with friends and children and they all love a lot the outside spaces
It is a good place to make some barbecue outside while the kids play in the football pitch or in the swimming pool.
The surroundings are well conserved and really quiet.
The house is near Banyoles that has a lot of things to do and see.
The owners are really kind and they offer you help in case you need it. They also offer the possibility to take the children to a fun games area owned by them.
We organized there our 10 wedding anniversary and booked a special space that they have to put more than 80 people, it went great.
We will repeat for sure.

ESTUPENDA REUNION FAMILIAR
Trato exquisito por parte de Albert y familia. Lugar perfecto para desconectar y descansar. Instalaciones muy confortables, para mayores y niños. Lastima no poder aprovechar la piscina en estas fechas ya refresca pero nos quedamos con las ganas de disfrutarla. Ideal como campo base para conocer la garotxa. Tiene todos los utensilios para realizar barbacoas, paellas para el divertimento familiar.

Casa rural espectacular
Hola!
Estuvimos el pasado fin de semana para celebrar el cumpleaños de una amiga. La casa es espectacular, enorme. Tienen piscina, campo de de volley, de fútbol, baloncesto, ping pong... imposible aburrirse. Además tiene varios sitios para hacer barbacoa y aunque llueva no hay problema porque alguno está cubierto. También tiene para paella, aunque no lo utilizamos. La verdad es que por las fotos no nos lo imaginábamos tan chulo. Está todo muy cuidado y super limpio. Los propietarios muy simpáticos, Albert el primer día fue muy atento y nos explicó como funcionaba todo muy amablemente. Un saludo!

Mejor imposible
Cal Duc es la mejor opción para cualquier tipo de escapada con amigos o familia incluso en pareja. El entorno es idílico, las opciones que ofrece de ocio las casas son estupendas. Mi grupo de amigos pasamos un fin de semana de lo más entretenido, admás alquilamos "el cobert" y pudimos disfrutar de unas sesiones de Swing magníficas. Se encuentra totalmente aislado de vecinos por lo que puedes disfrutar de música sin molestar a nadie y con toda la calma de la naturaleza. Cerca dispones del pueblecito o bien de Banyoles con toda oferta gastronómica y comercial. Recomiendo una BBQ en la zona exterior. La casa está totalmente equipada y con utensilios completos para cocinar, incluso un arroz para 16 personas! Simplemente perfecto lugar y mejor opción de alojamiento rural!

Fantástico
La verdad es que nunca había estado en un alojamiento rural y creo que será difícil superar a Cal Duc. Alquilamos las tres casas (éramos 19) y el Cobert (espacio muy amplio y perfectamente equipado con todos los utensilios necesarios para cocinar (cocina industrial) y para hacer barbacoas. Lo único que no acompañó fue el tiempo que fue lluvioso. La atención de Albert fue exquisita en todo momento . Repetiremos

Fantastica
Hemos estado durante este fin de semana para celebrar el cumpleaños de mi pareja, dado que eramos 14 nos instalaron en la nina i la nena. Las casas estaban limpias, con todas las comodidades (lavaplatos, horno, microondas, tostadoras, lavadora...), las camas comodas, con unas nordicas calentitas y con las sabanas que olian a limpio... me encanta meterme en la cama con ese olor a sabanas acabadas de sacar de la lavadora mmmm
Los espacios fantasticos, con campo de futbol, basquet, voley, tirolina, ping-pong, columpios, tobogan...i una piscina con unas vistas... dos barbacoas una al lado de la casa y otra detras con una mesa enorme con bancos de piedra... y la tranquilidad... madre mia que tranquilidad, salias de la casa ni un ruido, con esas amplias vistas ...
Para recomendar al 100%
