Pre-trip communication with Jordi (in Spanish and French) was great. The directions were precise, and we found the house easily. Everything was clean and the house is indeed as beautiful as the pictures show. We used the fire place upstairs every evening. The kitchen worked well, too, although there were a few useful items missing, such as a spatula (we bought one and left it at the house).

Because there is no wifi, a small info file (as provided in all the airbnb's I have stayed in so far) would be really helpful. Especially infos on nearby hikes, castles, recommended restaurants, the point of Cap de Creus and the Dali house would help. Also house-related info e.g. on where to take the trash would be useful.

Please keep in mind that we had a winter stay with temperatures of 5-10C outside. Jordi had given us fair warning that the two lower rooms get cold and there were plenty of warm blankets as promised, but we have to admit that even those couldnt quite fight off the cold. For future visitors, I would recommend a portable electric heater, especially for the room in the cellar.

While the bath tub in the main room looks inviting, we found that there wasn't enough warm water at any time to fill it, and the tub's own heating function couldn't fight off the cold either, so unfortunately we ended up just admiring it from the outside. In general, hot water seemed a shortage (except for in the kitchen), so that only the first 5min for the first person's shower were hot. We spaced showers out between the four of us, so in the end, we got used to it.

More unfortunate was the guest toilet's leak between toilet bowl and floor. It led to unpleasant surprises when we stepped into a wet toilet floor in the middle of the night... The water was clean though, so it was more the surprise factor than anything else that was unpleasant. The water subsided after a few hours.

The best thing for us was the perfect location of this house for keen hikers. There are several hikes you can go on starting right from the front door, and we did quite a few of those.
