We're just back home after a week's stay at Laura's apartment near Begur. The whole stay could not have been any better.
Laura made sure to check in with us ahead of the stay and even helped us find the apartment when we were lost! On arrival Laura and her family were most welcoming and seemed genuinely happy to see us. They showed us all the amenities and Even took me on a quick drive to see the route in to Begur and the local supermarket.
The apartment itself is part of a fabulous house with views out over the surrounding countryside. It is excellently well equipped and extremely comfortable due to the efficient air conditioning. Some other real pluses were
- good wifi connection meant kids could watch Netflix
- Nespresso machine with welcome pack including 20 capsules
- welcome bottle of cava
- very well stocked kitchen
- BBQ facilities
- good entertainment facilities including TV and stereo
The outside space deserves a special mention as it really is fabulous. The views are spectacular and there is a comfortable area for dining and relaxing. The outside pool was also ideal for relaxing and the kids had great fun playing in the pool for the week.
We were a little bit concerned about sharing the space with the family as we hadn't done it before, but I can honestly say that it could not have been easier. The family made sure we felt at home and we hardly even noticed they were there, apart from when their friendly and polite kids came down to play in the pool with our own kids.
In terms of location the apartment is also ideal, as long as you don't mind a short walk. The centre of Begur is a leisurely 15 minute walk and we did the walk most evenings with 9 & 11 year old daughters. Begur is a lively little town with some great places to eat.
Overall I'd definitely recommend this apartment to anyone with one or two kids looking to combine a relaxing pool holiday with everything that Begur has to offer.
Big thanks to Laura and her family.
