We had a lovely stay at Mas Umberto. The pool is so safe and fun for kids as it’s really shallow and well overlooked by all the terraces of the apartments. Our kids really enjoyed playing with other children and splashing in the water. The location is very peaceful with beautiful sunsets and lots of birds, bats and little lizards to see. The pool area is thoughtfully planted and well lit in the evening with shady areas to picnic in and a pool bar with a coffee machine. It’s a great base for day trips - Aqua Brava is just a 5 minute drive away and, though expensive, makes for a fabulous family day out. We went walking in Cap de Creus, visited the Dali museum in Figueres and Port Ligat, and to Cadaqued, as well as going to the beach in Roses. Mas Umberto makes a good base for day trips, though everywhere is a drive and it’s not possible to walk anywhere (eg to get bread in the morning). Bring a big bottle of water or two as you can’t drink the tap water here - this would’ve been helpful to know in advance! The accommodation itself is clean and the beds comfy but we spent nearly all our time on the terrace, in the pool or on day trips so we didn’t notice the interior much!
Castello d’Empuries is a 10 minute drive and fab for dinner or a day time wander.
