We spent a wonderful week at Away From It All, Sílvia’s house in Betlem. Its key feature is a central living area with sliding window walls that open up completely - revealing, on one side, a sizeable terrace, and on the other a pool and seating area (which we called ‘the chillout lounge’). This gives the house a glorious inside/outside feel. In addition, this central zone divides the bedrooms, which are at either end of the property, allowing privacy for guests.
I can honestly say that this is the best-equipped place I have ever stayed in through Airbnb. There is everything you might need (and not want to pack) from parasols, ice blocks, picnic bags and bat and ball for days on the beach to a fully equipped kitchen. For families, there are also children’s books and games, a potty… the list goes on! Plus, Benito was fantastic, on hand if we needed anything (which we didn’t after the initial meeting, because everything has been thought of).
Above all, Away From It All has a wonderfully tranquil atmosphere and is so relaxing to stay in. And Betlem is perfectly placed both for local beaches and the restaurants at Colonia de Sant Pere.
We loved it here, and think you will, too.
