We had a good stay at Xi’s place and his mother was very helpful. The town is very calm and it is a very good place for going to the beach and exploring Cap de Creus. Be aware that the beach is not on walking distance but you’ll be there very fast by car or motorcycle. Also for groceries it is the best to drive a few minutes to La Port de la Selva, where you’ll find supermarkets, all kinds of shops, restaurants and things to do (scuba diving, going on a boat etc.). There are some marvellous beaches nearby and the light house of Cap de Creus and Cadaques (house of Dalí) are very easy to get to by car. Also for walking and hiking the Cap de Creus area is outstanding, with interesting geology and vegetation to be seen (the eastern terminal point of the GR-11 is very close by).
Regarding the house we thought that the kitchen is well suited for breakfast and easy meals, but it might not be equipped for very extensive cooking.
Be aware that by car you cannot really get to the house by going through the village. The streets get smaller and smaller until it is not possible to drive any further, even though Google Maps might direct you there. So, when you approach the village, make sure to take a right turn and go around, instead of entering it by going straight ahead. By following the road that curves around the village you approach Carrer de Baix and eventually you’ll get the car park next to the house on your right side.
