Pol & Lola's home was the second location of our 12-day stay in Costa Brava. Originally, we planned to split the time between the sea and the land. Unfortunately for us, we ended at Pol's place right in the middle of a heatwave and were, sort of stranded there. Luckily the house is cool and we found salvation just sitting inside, making delicious meals from local produce and vegetables, Pol gifted us from their garden. The house is equipped with everything you need and is very spacious. Although, I did imagine the yard bigger than it was in reality.
Lovely doggies were hanging a lot at the entrance to our part of the house and greeted us when we came. Chickens, rooster & the goats are super cute, too. I used earplugs, because the rooster woke us up at 5am.
During the first few days of our vacation, we realised that we just want to spend time snorkelling and exploring calas on the shore and tried to do it from this place too. It didn't really work, the heat was strong and drive is long and too far from the best swimming places. So if you want a beach holiday, this is not an ideal place.
I guess because we come from Finland, being on a secluded, farm-type place and having animals & fields around didn't feel so unique, unlike the beautiful crystalline water of the Mediterranean.
The road to the house is rugged, better to have a car that can handle it. There is a Michelin star restaurant in the village. The prices are okay and the booking is needed a few days in advance.
Pol & Lola gave us recommendations on how to cope with the heat and where to go. They were kind and attentive and we felt comfortable in their home. Also, really loved the bathroom, fantastic spa-like shower experience!
