The house is a dream come true for a large group spending vacation together! We were four families charing the house, with children from the ages 4 - 14. The garden area, as well as the house, give plenty of opportunity for the children to play. We particularly appreciated that the pool was surrounded by a closable fence which meant no worries that that the younger children would fall in to the pool if unattended. The kitchen is huge and well provided. We are all very interested in cooking and found no problem doing outdoors barbecue, paella etc. There are also two refrigerators which came in handy. There are several supermarkets with every fresh food you can imagine, as well as a large mall, within a few minutes driving, but you will need a car to do any kind of shopping or reach anything by interest. The location is very good for exploring the Costa Brava or just hanging out by the pool for a week. If we had a question, Monica, the owner's English speaking daughter, was only a phone call away. I can strongly recommend Dolors's casa!
