We had a brilliant time at Emmanuel's place - the location is glorious - brilliant views - and the house is bigger than it looks. There are airy communal spaces to hang out in, and it's a perfect place for a family or group holiday. If you stay I'd recommend a car because then you are free to nip into the great bars/restaurants of Begur, go to the well appointed supermarket and visit the surrounding beaches.
I'd happily recommend Emmanuel's place to a friend - he was easy to communicate with and welcomed us to his place.
