Marta's place is well situated at the top of the hill overlooking Platja d'Aro, the view is great, though not really possible to see the sea from sitting on the terrace - standing up or on the step was ok though! The house is beautifully furnished with high quality solid wood pieces and marble shelves in the kitchen. It is also cool and dark for lie ins. The house is self-contained underneath Marta's own house, which didn't disturb us, though wasn't quite clear from the listing (or maybe we didn't read that point). Marta even provides a reasonably priced minibar with beer water, crisps and nuts! The internet was very fast and TV with international channels. For us dotting around the many cute bays around Platja d'Aro, Palafrugell and Begur it was a perfect base!
