We had a really nice week in Sarah's apartment which is located a 5 minute walk from the old town seafront and beach and a 10 minute walk from another larger beach. The apartment had a balcony and a roof garden both with beautiful views of the town and the bay. Our two teenage children also made great use of the swimming pool. L'Escala itself is a lovely resort with nice beaches, coves, shops, bars and restaurants. We particularly enjoyed snorkelling along the coast and Stand- Up Paddle boarding at the beach. The apartment is located on a small hill and is on the third floor so there are a fair number of steps involved - not suitable for anyone with mobility problems. The views are worth it though - and also the breeze as the weather was hot!
My one criticism is the lack of information provided. We collected the keys in a local bar and as there was nobody to explain things, a sheet with written instructions on how things operate would have been useful.
Other than that I would highly recommend this apartment.
