Alex and Lara's house in Begur is a real treat. The house is very modern, the pool is great, and it's a quick 5 minute walk into the centre of the town.
The only minor issues we had were with the noise from the road, and a few mosquitos (to be expected in summer - bug spray recommended). Apart from that, it was the perfect base to explore Costa Brava and the many incredible beaches that are all within a 15 minute drive.
