I traveled with my family of 8 - teens, adults, and elderly. We all enjoyed Pau's villa! We had a relaxing and very comfortable 5 day stay! The house has everything you need for a short or long visit. It is a beautiful house where you feel at home and pampered at the same time. Kitchen and bathrooms are fully stocked; the garden and rooftop terrace are fabulous; the beds and linens are luxurious and there are gorgeous built in wardrobes in each room to store your belongings. It was also helpful to have a washer and dryer.

There is air conditioning in only a few rooms but it is enough to keep the house cool once you figure out how to use the shutters and open windows strategically. Pau was kind enough to bring us two fans after the first night which was particularly hot. In the end, they were helpful but as the days cooled we only used them occasionally.

The neighborhood is residential, lovely, safe, and has many different kinds of businesses. The grocery store and fish market are two blocks away near the train station. There is also a taxi stop, bakery, and ATM at that corner. Train ride to plaza Catalunya is about 15 mins and 2 euros each way unless you buy a discounted metro card. The cab ride is 10 to 15 minutes and about 9 or 10 euros for a group of 4 so we opted for cabs much of the time.

We even enjoyed some kumquats from the garden! Gracias por todo Pau!
