Olivia's home is in a lovely, peaceful, quiet setting. We thoroughly enjoyed our three-night stay after the hustle and bustle of Barcelona. The pool was great -- still warm enough for swimming in the third week of September -- and the garden is beautiful. Close enough to explore the Costa Brava (we had already been to Cadaques so we went to Portbou), the medieval towns like nearby Llado, and Besalu and Olot, and wonderful monasteries and ruins a short (but winding) drive from the house. The house itself is bohemian and rustic but very large and comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped. It was so quiet and peaceful we felt renewed after a short stay.
