This rental was *magnificent.* We have used vacation rentals in multiple cities throughout the US, Canada, and Europe, and this was the best place we have stayed. The views and general comfort are astounding. The Mediterranean Sea breezes when windows/doors were opened were refreshing and lovely. We spent hours on the terrace, which fair warning in June is full sun most of the day into early evening (6pm.) The kitchen was a dream to cook in, I even photographed the label of the stove to consider for a home renovation project myself. Bedrooms are downstairs, one spacious master with attached bathroom (tub and shower, generously sized.) One queen sized bedroom. Master and queen have a/c units in the wall that kept the rooms and the whole downstairs comfortable temperatures at night. Hall bathroom has a shower. Extra bedroom has two side rooms each with twin beds, plus a center space with a portable baby crib and extra futon if someone doesn’t like sharing a room. There was tons of storage on the bedroom level, many wardrobes and other storage spaces.
Main level has two dining tables each seating 6 people. Outdoor easily accommodated 4-6 on couches/chairs, plus two chaise lounges. Couch space in the living area for 3-4 people. Beautiful piano (in tune! We tested!) in the turret space going into the lower levels. Washer (no drier, but a good drying rack easy to set up. Ironing board and iron, too) on lowest level with an additional garden level terrace. We did day trips to Cadaques (35 minutes, twisty drive) and Girona (60 minute drive.)
The walk to the beach was just 5 minutes in either direction, both beaches were lovely and not too busy in June. The Med is still COLD! But refreshing! Beach restaurants we tried were all quite good, lots of seafood options, at least one or two vegetarian options. Some are only open certain days/times for dinner, check before you go. The beach to the right as you head out of the villa has a steep driveway to walk to get down to the beach (and is worth the walk, the views at sunset are incredible!) Just be aware the steep walk down means a steep walk up, perfectly navigable in sandals, you just might want to allow extra time.
Honestly the only challenge we encountered here was that the main level didn’t have a ton of extra power outlets (this is hardly an issue, we just had to choose specific locations for charging our devices.) I grew very fond of sitting at the kitchen table with the windows open to the east and west, letting the breeze blow through. Absolutely wonderful place. We will come back in the future!
