The villa is absolutely wonderful, with everything you could possibly need for a great holiday. The private pool is fantastic, with lots of beautiful garden surrounding it. The air con system was great and we all slept very well. We were met by Florence’s Friend, Valerie. She was so welcoming p, kind and helpful and I would say she played a huge part in making our stay there so great.
The area itself is very picturesque and quiet. Close by, is Hotel Peralada Golf and Wine Spa. In Peralada itself, the winding streets and castle, transport you to a different era, and there are a few very nice places to eat and drink. The local bakery and butchers shops provide superb produce. The Castle is so beautiful and the wedding we attended there was spectacular. The food from the one star Michelin restaurant was delicious.
It would probably be best to hire a car though, as there is no local taxi company and we found the taxis very expensive because they came from further away. Walking to Peralada is possible though, if you are fit and have time to spare. We were attending a wedding and had several functions to attend, so walking in heels and fancy clothes in the heat was a definite no no.
Additionally, having a car would allow you to go further afield. There are plenty attractions in Figueres, including the Dali museum.
All in all, I highly recommend Florence’s villa.
