What a magical place for a holiday! First, Maren is one of the nicest people you will ever meet (and her daughter is incredibly cute). Second, Begur is spectacular, and this house is in a perfect spot there- right below the castle, a short walk from the center. It's generally almost silent (with occasional loud vehicles on the tiny lane right outside), with a beautiful little courtyard outside. It's very small and basic- the upstairs is for short people or someone who doesn't mind leaning over when they walk- but is exactly right for a memorable experience in a medieval village on the Costa Brava. Stunning beaches are a short drive away, and parking was easy during our visit (it probably gets pretty tight during summer weekends). You have to know what to expect- there's no air conditioning and the shower is very small, but my son and I wouldn't have wanted anything different. We'll be back some day, hopefully!
