The house is in a walled village that is up above the town of Tossa de Mar. I wasn’t sure what to do at first, and the town itself has a lot of small and one-way streets. We ended up driving up the hill which is not something everyone (or every car!) would enjoy, but then my daughter hopped out, found the house, I unlocked it with the app Javier invited me to (nuki) and we were in! There is no way to the house without taking stairs. There is a back way into the village that cuts a lot of walking and greatly reduces the stair number, but there are stairs no matter which way you go. That said, no matter whether you take the road up or the “short cut” around back, it is a true delight to enter the walled village and find and enter the house. There are radiators throughout the house and it was nice and cozy when we arrived. There are two living rooms, three bedrooms, and two bathrooms each with a nice shower. The quality of the remodel is really very nice. The home decor is very nice. The kitchen is ample even if you wanted to cook, which we did not because we wanted to try local restaurants. The laundry facility is down some steps and outside, but worked beautifully, with a dryer, which is rare in Spain.
Javier offered several ways to communicate when I had some questions and because my phone didn’t behave properly we ended up emailing through AirBnB but he offered cell phone and an app that AirBnB won’t let me name called ‘what’s app’.
I walked up the hill a little ways and watched the sun rise out of the sea.
We went to the lighthouse at sunset and had tapas and watched the sun set into the sea.
It was a perfect weekend in Tossa de Mar and we would definitely visit again.
