If you want to visit the beautiful Costa Brava look no further then staying here at the the beautiful town of Blanes. Diego and Gemma’s apartment became our home away from home for a week and we couldn’t have asked for better. The location is quiet and pristine with a view of the sea that makes you feel your on top of the world. Local shops, family friendly atmosphere, beautiful beach within walking distance, next door to one of the most beautiful botanical gardens in Europe, and amazing restaurants within walking distance this place was a dream! With an easy commute to explore the cost this experience far exceeded ur expectations and despite not meeting our hosts they checked in regularly with local tips and quick responses to questions. I have traveled with Airbnb for years and it’s always a gamble never knowing truly what to expect till you get there. The apartment was exactly as described and better with plenty of room for a family of four to stretch out, cook, and relax. The apartment is fully stocked with everything you need and our host were gracious enough to even provide a bottle of champagne for us as we were celebrating our anniversary and New Years. The also provided basic supplies such as soap and shampoo for shower and dish soap which I feel should be mandatory but not all Airbnb’s supply. There is a book in the apartment to reference with wonderful brochures and suggestions for the area and beyond. Thank you sooo much Diego and Gemma for a wonderful stay, for being such courteous thoughtful hosts and for your beautiful home in Costa Brava. If we are ever able to return we would stay here without a second thought and if you are wanting to explore look no further then here in Blanes, “The gateway to Costa Brava”.
