Cadaques is a remarkable gem of a town, in one of the most beautiful parts of Europe. I have been going several times over the years - always staying in hotels. I have never had a better experience in Cadaques than when staying at Hugues and Claire's house.

It is more of a triplex than a duplex, really. We were only two people, but the house comfortably accommodates six, and is more than adequately equipped. Even though the dining options in Cadaques are rich in quality and quantity, the kitchen is spacious enough to cook a proper meal. The dining and living rooms are bright, well appointed and nicely decorated.

But all of the above is not really relevant. What is relevant is the awesome panoramic view of the two large balconies. This is where you will inevitably spend most of your time in the house, gazing over the ocean while listening to the quiet motion of the town below.

Perfect place for a quick getaway - or for an invigorating holiday.
