me, my wife and 2 teenage children stayed at Rafa's house for almost a week and had a fabulous time. Upon arrival, Rafa's wife and 2 daughters (unfortunately we didn't meet Rafa) gave us a warm welcome, showed us all around the premises and neighborhood and gave us recommendations where to go and eat. They even organized 2 additional bikes for us, which was really nice.
The apartment was very easy to find, coming by car from Girona airport, spacious enough for a family of 4 and well equipped, including underground parking space and back yard swimming pool, which the kids enjoyed in the evening time.
Location was good and very central, only 10-20 mins drive from many incredibly beautiful beaches and coves.
There is a Lidl and other big grocery store in short walking distance, which was great. The town of Palafrugell is also very nice and the center square, which is in the old part of town, only 10 mins walk, becomes alive at night with several restaurants and live music on weekends. We really enjoyed it, also because it was way less touristy than the seaside towns around or the town of Begur. All the kids in the neighborhood became alive from 10pm til midnight, playing on the playground near the house, which was funny for us to see. As our kids said, they would have loved to grow up in Spain for that reason alone :).
Watch out for see urchins, our son had a bad encounter with one. Bring or buy water shoes! Snorkel gear is also highly recommended because the water is so clear and there is much to see under water! We would certainly come back to Rafa's and this beautiful coastline again!
