Our stay over New Years Eve week was fantastic! The most idyllic setting inside the walled fortress of the Tossa de Mar castle - like something out of a movie really! It was so much fun wandering around the narrow stone streets, watching the sun rise and set over the mountainous cliffs and enjoying the warm sun during the day at the beach. It was very quiet this time of year and especially due to Covid. We expected as much. But our hosts were wonderful about offering local recommendations for restaurants that would be open and what hours. That was extremely helpful especially when we arrived on a Sunday afternoon and no grocery stores were open to purchase food.
Our hosts even went to lengths to bring us a beautiful dinner for our family upon arrival. A bottle of wine, biscuits, firewood and plenty of cleaning supplies were also waiting for us at checkin. So thoughtful! Let’s Holiday offers their guests a 5-star experience from start to finish!
Even when we encountered a few small issues in the beginning, they were immediately available to answer questions or troubleshoot!
The home itself is very sweet and comfortable. The beds were extremely nice and we all (2 adults and three kids) slept great each night and the largest of the three bedrooms at the end of the hallway offered ocean views! What a nice surprise!
The kitchen was well stocked for the most part (could use a microwave and spatula, just FYI!) The fireplace is beautiful and we enjoyed a warm blaze every evening! Just a tip to any future visitors in wintertime, purchasing firewood in town can get quite expensive - so we opted to grab some fresh wood from the hiking trails on Cami de Ronda which proved to be amazing and burn nicely!
The only comment I must make as helpful information for future travelers is regarding the hot water/shower. The hot water heater is electric (not gas) so once it runs out, the water goes cold. As a family of five we needed to space our showers out and also turn the water on and off during the shower before and after rinsing. We made it work and laughed along the way - but it made showers a bit less than relaxing after a long day.
Overall we had a magical time at this property and would absolutely recommend it to any travelers looking for a unique getaway from the busy city of Barcelona!
