Absolutely Fantastic! This is a magnificent place to stay in Roses. Pamela and husband Giuseppe have turned a generous portion of the southern facing mountainside, with views toward the sea, into a multi-unit oasis of comfort, tranquility and beauty. They are delightful hosts with a passion for creating an outstanding guest experience. They were very responsive to our requests, incredibly warm and caring. I wish we could have stayed longer.
Upon our arrival we had a welcome gift of cava chilling with two champagne glasses and a beautiful vase of flowers. We enjoyed time on the terrace just outside our door, sipping our morning coffee or enjoying a glass of wine in the evening. We were not disturbed by street noises and felt completely relaxed during our stay. While we spent most our time exploring the calas of Cap de Creus we did enjoy relaxing in the sun chairs on the upper terrace. It was hard to resist, especially after Pamela and Giuseppe created a botanical barrier of potted flowers and plants while we were out exploring the beaches.
My husband and I were incredibly comfortable in the apartment. It has a great layout with plenty of storage and as a result feels quite spacious. We both had perfect areas to “work” on our laptops when we needed to attend to business back home.
We had good meals while in Roses. We ate at Rafa’s, Las Golondrinas, Chez Paquito and Restaurant Garimall which is out in the country in a beautiful setting. We also explored several different beaches. Nearby we enjoyed the size and convenience of playa cayelles more than playa almadrava. However, walking the sea path between the two beaches is a must. The views are stunning. We spent time on the following calas on Cap de Creus: Murtra, Rostello, Calis, Montjoi, Calitjàs , Canadell and Joncols. I think our favorites were cala Rostello because of all the trees on the surrounding cliffside and the fact there are many areas to find shade and Cala Calitijàs because it is a very short, easy hike down from the parking area, and the water was very clear and calm. We love going to the less crowded calas and enjoyed all of them, but the two mentioned stuck out more in my memory.
This was a very memorable destination and I attribute much of that to our gracious hosts!
