All in all, we had a good time (10 Days) in this house
Details:
I think it’s a common system in catalunya, that private owners rent their houses with a real estate company. In our case this wasn’t a big problem, we had a very personal, authentic and easy contact with Elizabeth and Sa Punta Costa Brava S.L.
We did a big recherche before renting this house, ... in general, our impression about the renting system of these companies is not so good, here it is no longer about cushioning the costs of your own holiday home, but also about making a certain profit.
the good things:
- Personal, authentically, practical, easy handling (check-in, check-out)
- In the kitchen a lot available, salt, sugar, spices
- Lots of things available, cozy bedrooms
- WiFi, HDMI cable
- Interesting architecture, layout, 2 terraces, 2 balconies, good privacy, perfect for three
- Beautiful location, beautiful view, bombastic roof terrace
- On request we got more bed utensils
- Great pool, well-kept, safe neighborhood, no parking problems
- good privacy, 3 balconys
- Great location for the entire Begur / Girona region, if you have a car
- Value for money basically ok.
What we didn't like
- Heavily used:
Certain furniture
Bathroom, Weak toilet flush
Chairs etc. for roof terrace very used and rusty
Plenty of crockery, cutlery a bit dirty, weak dishwasher, electricity on the dishwasher (wtf)
- Small boiler, not enough to take a warm bath
- Very poorly soundproofed
The construction of the houses means that noises from the neighbors can be heard up to two houses away. If you are easily disturbed by the neighborhood and noise, this is not the place for you.
Bad luck:
When renting a townhouse, we were aware that we might be dealing with families and children. We like to sleep long. That's why we deliberately went on vacation in September. Unfortunately for us, this appears to be a period of major construction and renovation in that town. Unfortunately, some neighbors carried out major renovations of their houses.
Region:
Perfect for Those who like peace and less heat travel well at this time. If you are looking for some life and people, you will be less well served at the end of September, the region is already a little bit ghosty and tourism is not at the peak. Some Restaurants are open, some are not.
But for us it was perfect.
Fresh weather periods can also occur, it is cool at night.
The surroundings are beautiful, there is a lot to explore, we regret not having had more time for destinations that are further away. Despite the plan, we never made it to Barcelona because the surroundings were far too interesting.
The medieval villages of Pals, Begur, Peratallada, Ullà are definitely worth a visit
