Me and my husband stayed at Can Pol for ten days in August, it was amazing! Jordi and Pilar, and their family, were lovely and made our stay one of the best holidays we have had together.

They gave us great advice on where to go, shop, eat, swim and we explored Costa Brava which was beautiful. We also arrived to a fully stocked fridge and kitchen, a nice cold bottle of Cava, bottle of Red and a very warm reception. Even though we were very late as we got lost, they were worried about us and unfortunately their friend who they had asked to come and translate for us had had to go, the fact they had someone there just shows what a loverly couple they are!

Our Spanish, Catalan and French is tiny but thanks to google translate we had no problems, often emailing them for advice at night and waking up the next day to find maps, umbrellas, books on the doorstep with all the information in we needed, often with gifts of food on the doorstep too!

The apartment is perfect, it is the best value for money we have ever had! Although I did have a husband who smelt of smoke for most of the time as he was obsessed with the amazing outdoor BBQ and cooked on it most nights, not that I am complaining as he is a good cook and it kept him busy! We would buy food from the great local butchers which Pilar pointed out to us and the fishmongers which was great too! We even managed a night partying in Vidreres till 3am and walked back with a torch, unfortunately missing closing time for the casino bar which looked like a local institution.

I would say you need transport, we saw loads of bike trails but we had a hire car and drove up and down the Costa Brava exploring. Although its only a 15 min walk into town.

I can not praise our stay, Costa Brava, the apartment and especially our hosts enough! They gave us as much space as we wanted but where on hand to help whenever we needed it. The only bad thing was we had to come home!

We will be back! Next time my husband will chop some firewood to replace the forest he burnt cooking outside.

Love to Jordi and Pilar, miss you guys! Come to Liverpool! x
