This place was simply amazing - 19 of us travelled to Spain to celebrate a 50th birthday and found a gem of a villa. The facilities are excellent and are accurately described in the listing. The pool was an excellent size - perfect for a family game of volleyball.
The outdoor space is some of the best we have experienced - (Casa Natura is massive!) plenty of space - a football pitch and surprise tennis court kept our competitive family happy and the hammocks were used by stressed parents for a bit of quiet time with a book. It is enclosed - meaning we were happy to let our toddlers run around and explore their surroundings.
Travelling in midddle of august the weather was hot and the air conditioning was required and worked well to keep us all cool. A few of the showers were temperamental - ran a bit hot and cold but this didnt bother us one bit - we are in rural spain. If it was an issue I am sure the host esther would have explained how the water taps on the wall worked.
Casa Natura is a perfect name for this place. It is in the middle of nature and the animals are delightful. Parrots, hawks owls, ostriches, deer boar are just a few of the animals our children loved seeing. As you'd expect the birds and animals make noise but we were not disturbed by this and actually enjoyed being surrounded by nature.
The pool facilities are excellent they have fridges, toilets, showers and a covered games room with pool table, table football and sound system right next to the pool meaning that everyone is entertained and spending quality time together. This is where our family spent most of their time - the facilities catered for our children from toddler to teenager perfectly.
The kitchen was well equipped and there was a lot of communal outdoors dining spaces outside leading to some great barbecue and social time for us all.
Being close to a farm there is quite a bit of bird and deer taxidermy in the sitting room of the villa which was new to the children and so was a focal point of a few discussions. However the villa is big enough to avoid this area if mounted deer heads are not your thing!!
The location of the villa is quite rural and is about twenty minutes walk down a dirt track road from Vidreres where there are bars, restaurants and a large supermarket. We relied on a very good local taxi service (shout out to Joaquin Hurtado and his family) to get out on day trips to Lloret de Mar and the water park.
The location is only 15 minutes away from Girona airport and we took a day trip to Barcelona which was easy to organise.
The host Juan Pedro and Esther were an absolute delight looking after us with fresh vegetables and eggs. Esther made our family feel very welcome and thankfully for us is an expert at google translate! We would happily return to this villa for a big family birthday again!
