About this house rental
INFO: THE OWNERS HAVE CREATED A VIDEO OF THE HOUSE—ENJOY :-)
The house is located in Calonge, a small, typical Spanish village. It is furnished with traditional Spanish furniture. It features a TV (satellite) and a radio. The pool measures 8 x 4 m (saltwater electrolysis). There are two beautiful golf courses nearby. The sea is about 4 km from the house. The beach at St. Antoni de Calonge captivates visitors with its long promenade, lined with countless bistros and shops of every size and type. A walking and biking path runs right along the sea. Parking for 2 cars. Salt electrolysis—what is it? Here’s the answer: Salt water electrolysis produces chlorine using slightly salty water. As the salty water flows through the electrolysis cell, the salt is converted into sodium hypochlorite (liquid chlorine)
. This chlorine oxidizes, disinfects, and eliminates all organic matter in the water. On its way back into the pool, the liquid chlorine reverts to salt.
There is an alarm system. Securitas Direct.

Barcelona Airport—home to airlines like EasyJet and many others. Calonge on the Costa Brava, with its medieval town center and castle, is a 5-minute drive from the house. The house is a 1-hour drive from the French border and 5/4 hours from Barcelona (via highway/bus). Take Exit 7. The Pyrenees are 1½–2 hours away (skiing and winter sports). The Costa Brava, with its many small coves, is connected by beautiful, well-maintained walking trails. There are many festivals, concerts, and exhibitions (e.g., the Dalí Museum in Figueras, excavations of Roman and Greek cities). Eight golf courses are within a 15–50-minute drive. The pottery town of Bisbal is about 15–20 km away. The Costa Brava is a diverse, wild and romantic region that is well worth experiencing. The Gavarres mountain range—stretching from the Pyrenees to the sea (a nature reserve)—is a well-signposted and mapped area offering endless possibilities for hikers and cyclists.
Attractions on the Costa Brava: The charming, picturesque fishing villages of Llafranc, Calella, and Tamariu feature excellent restaurants: Fantastic views from the lighthouse overlooking Llafranc; in Cap de Sant Sebastian, you can dine at the El Far Hotel high above the sea—not to be missed. Pals is a well-preserved and restored medieval village that’s best visited early in the morning, before the crowds arrive. La Bisbal is known for its Catalan ceramics industry (there are dozens of shops). Palafrugell, Begur, and Sant Feliu are also worth a visit. Further out, in Figueres, is the Dalí Museum; the Dalí House is located in Port Lligat near Cadaqués (advance booking required, Tel: 972 25 83 15) ); and on the way to Girona, in Púbol, is the small castle where Dalí’s wife, Gala, lived—all very interesting. Girona also has a lot to offer, including various shops, a cathedral, and an interesting old town.
Leisure Activities & Weather on the Costa Brava: You can also rent bikes. Details available upon request. Boat rentals in Palamós are also available. Aqua-Driving activities for children are available nearby. Weather forecast for the Costa Brava. The climate in Spain and on the Costa Brava is almost always fantastic. Vacationers on the Catalan Mediterranean coast can expect plenty of sunshine and enjoy it to the fullest. In summer, temperatures range between 21°C and 28

We - a family with children aged 16 and 12 - spent 3 weeks in the villa in July/August. We found the villa and garden well maintained, the pool well looked after. The pool enjoys full sun almost all day, so the water temperature was very pleasant. Still, if one desired a bit of shade on a small section of the pool, that was easily accommodated by turning the very large parasol.
We found the beds comfortable, the kitchen and dining area convenient.
There was no air conditioning, but despite the warm temperature, we were fine with the two fans. The villa benefits from well fitted fly screens and bars at all windows, so it is perfectly save to leave the windows wide open all night.
There was a large dog in one of the neighboring houses, one that barks a lot throughout the day. I have no idea if that dog belonged to a resident or to a tourist like us. It was not a major issue for us, it was just a bit less quiet than we would have liked ... but this barking is generally not that unusual in southern Europe.
The drive onto the property (the gated private parking area) is a bit narrow, just about manageable with a mid-sized car (like a Dacia Lodgy). A slightly bigger car will have to be parked in the street ... which should not be a problem as the road is rather quiet and parking seems permitted.
Overall a great stay in a well maintained villa with plenty of things to do and to explore in the area.

a very nice house with a lovely garden and swimming pool, 4 decent rooms and two decent size bathrooms. Two minor problems ( a lot of ants around the house) but all things Considered a superb house for a small family. We will probably be coming back in the future! Also very good and fast communication with the house owners. Very happy with our booking!
The surrounding villages are very lively and fun for everyone, the house itself is in a more peaceful and quiet surrounding.

We had a wonderful time in this beautiful house. We loved having breakfast or lunch under the olive tree. We really enjoyed the beautiful garden. The house is well equipped. Our children liked to play in the swimming pool. We used the bbq-corner and drank tea on the terras in a comfortable lounge set. We hope to come back someday!
