We knew Cadaques was going to be a little off of the beaten path, although we were a bit surprised by the continuous traffic coming in, as well as, the activity, and number of boutiques and restaurants in the city center.
Anja and Paul's wonderful apartment is a little further out from the village core than I originally assumed, a 15-20 minute walk. It is a little tricky to find, although only 100 meters, or so down the dirt/gravel road. Even the outside is unassuming, and belies a wonderful apartment hiding behind the blue door.
Don't expect anything too fancy, but that said, it is an absolutely perfect place for a single or couple to curl up for a few days, or even longer, and find peace. There is a compact, eat-in kitchen, with a brand new, double burner induction top and small fridge, well equipped with all that one needs to make proper meals, good water, plus thoughtful extras like, salt, flour, spices, cooking and extra virgin olive oil. I made two dinners, plus breakfast every morning. Anja has also compiled a binder, which sits on the kitchen table, loaded with all sorts of local info, activities, hiking trails and the like.
There are shelves all about, to stay organized, a proper shower, with excellent pressure, and large swing out windows to catch the passing breezes. Outside, is small private terrace, which catches the morning sun for breakfast, and even a drying rack, for doing emergency "shower" laundry.
Also, while the outside is a bit eclectic, the inside is neat as a pin, and hospital clean. At night, the only sounds we heard were that of the wind, and the occasional animal cry. Best sleep ever. Our only regret was in not staying longer.
BTW, if interested in the Dali House, ask Anja to point the way to the hiking path over. It is about a 20 walk, and a bit of a "goat track" in places, but makes for a very scenic entry into Port LLigat.
Also, wake up early, walk to the end of the lane, and keep going to the waters edge to watch the sunrise.
This is a very special place to unwind.
