I can’t say enough about this apartment, our hosts, Christjan and Ana, and the coastal village of Tossa de Mar! Christjan and Ana were always quick to respond to our emails, very flexible regarding our uncertain arrival time and extremely thoughtful, providing a list of restaurant recommendations and an offer to make dinner reservations for our New Year's Eve celebration in Tossa. Additionally, Ana offered to help us find new accommodations after learning that our first reservation in Barcelona (with a different host) had fallen through. She even offered to meet up with us in Barcelona if necessary!

We arrived late on New Year's Eve in Tossa de Mar and Christjan was there to greet us with a bottle of Cava (Spanish sparkling wine). When he discovered that we were unprepared to celebrate the Catalan New Year’s Eve tradition of eating grapes at midnight, he insisted that we must enjoy this authentic local experience. He returned with grapes in hand, generously taking time from his own holiday celebration. It was a truly memorable experience, standing on the terrace overlooking the town and the bay as fireworks burst over the village, listening to the townspeople celebrating below.

The apartment was spacious,clean and well equipped with all of the necessities. Most notable was the amazing terrace with a breathtaking, and possibly the best panoramic view of the town, cliffs and beach below. It was the perfect spot for watching the sun rise over the Mediterranean while listening to the waves break on the beach. The town of Tossa is absolutely charming. We loved strolling through the narrow medieval streets, visiting the ancient fort, and the view from the cliffs overlooking the town and the sea. The restaurants that Ana recommended were fantastic, giving us the opportunity to experience the places where the locals eat.

If you are planning a visit to the Costa Brava, I highly recommend a stop in Tossa De Mar with Christjan and Ana! You will not find better hosts or a better view!
