Besalu is a cute little town but it is a long way from anywhere and we probably stayed longer than needed. A full day is more than enough to see it.

We did not meet Violeta but we did meet her sister, Coral, who was lovely and went out of her way to accommodate us -- she even drove with me to show me where to park.

The configuration of the rooms was odd -- we were a family of four but the sleeping areas were completely separate apartments, adjacent to each other but not connected, and with only one bathroom. This made an awkward sleeping arrangement with our kids and my wife in one apartment and me alone in the other for two nights.

The apartments were clean and had their charms, but the kitchen is very basic and the sheets, towels, pillows, etc. were all basic and not luxurious. We would agree with those previous guests who felt that the apartment is decent and nice, but is somewhat overpriced for what is on offer. If Violeta and Coral would improve the quality of the linens and bedding, add a bit to the kitchen and maybe reconsider how to arrange the place to accommodate four people, then we could appreciate the pricing a bit more.
