Rafel is a wonderful host and made us feel very relaxed and at ease in his home. The apartment is beautifully decorated and has a lovely large sea view terrace. It is ideally located next to the botanical gardens and a 5 minute walk away from a smaller beautiful cove beach. The walk in to town is only 5 minutes too. There is a hill to descend/ climb, which is very manageable for the fit and able. Rafel gave us lots of information on what to do in Blanes. I found Blanes a beautiful relaxing place, with lots of good restaurants. I would highly recommend.
