We just got back from Blanes and must say that we had a perfect vacation. The apartment we stayed in is super luxury and believe me, we have very high "american" standards. It's a prime location in the middle of everything, the beach is downstairs, many great restaurants, coffee shops and bakeries are just around the corner. There is a beautiful promenade right in front of our building. Our hosts personally welcomed us and guided thought. The apartment was loaded with linens and towels, beach chairs and umbrella were there too, for our convenience. The apartment itself is located on a high floor, very clean and sunny, air conditioned and tastefully decorated, new appliances in the kitchen, 3 beautiful bathrooms with blackout mechanisms on every window. The only thing that I could wish for is a stronger wifi signal in other then dining-living room areas. But I understand that the apartment is huge and with one router it's barely possible.
During our stay, we enjoyed the famous international fireworks festival with a perfect view as well as a fresh market downstairs every morning.
It was a most memorable vacation ever thanks to great hosts of our Costa Brava home. We wish to return some day again!
