We stayed at Guillaume’s place for 2 nights for a beach get away. There are some things we loved and some thing we didn’t like so much. Location is great, as the beach is just a few minutes walk from the door. The balconies have a great view of the tucked away neighborhood of Roses, and we spent a lot of time sitting outside and enjoying the scenery. Also very close to the house are the hidden cove beaches, if you drive away from Roses city center and onto the gravel roads, you will find some real gems, including Montjoi, next to the old el Bulli restaurant. The further you drive the more secluded the beach.
The things we weren’t so fond of are the missing amenities of the place. We were visiting from US and didn’t have much with us. That said we didn’t realize the place didn’t have towels until it was too late. The details say there are beach towels, but there definitely were not. We had to go towel-less for a little while until the stores were open again. Also, we couldn’t figure out why the place didn’t have linens. There are dirty linens in the closet in a pinch, but clean linens are not provided. Very strange in my opinion. On top of this, a few things were a bit off. The kitchen utensils weren’t very clean, the shower head doesn’t stay upright and drops and sprays on the wall, the sun umbrella outside is completely unusable, the very picturesque blue table on the balcony was locked from the inside with the key missing, and front gate door is so old the lock was very difficult to get the door open upon arrival. These things are general maintenance and for the price we paid we left feeling a bit unsatisfied. Not sure i would recommend until these things are taken care of.
