Carme's place is a gem tucked away in a cute, quiet street in Pals. If you're looking for a relaxed weekend of barbecuing (there's an excellent butcher 2 minutes' walk away), swimming in the pool, and generally chilling out in a perfectly equipped house, this is the right place to pick.

Everything is sparkling new and works great. The bathrooms are spectacular (the jacuzzi tub is a wonderful touch!). The beach is 10 minutes away.

Do note that you'll be sharing the terrace/pool area with guests from another property. For us, this wasn't a big deal - everyone respected each other's space and it felt practically private.

I couldn't recommend this place more strongly. What a wonderful weekend with friends!
