Villa in L'Escala, Costa Brava, Spain. - Private Pool

We had an unforgettable two-week stay at this beautiful villa in Cala Montgó, L’ Escala. The location is just perfect – set on a peaceful hillside with absolutely stunning views from every room and the roof terrace, yet only 5–10 minutes from the beach and shops and restaurants.The villa itself is spacious, comfortable, and equipped with everything you could possibly need. The pool was a highlight for us – a lovely size and always inviting – and the surrounding grounds are just as beautiful. We especially enjoyed the two nearby viewing points, which made for wonderful walks and even better sunsets.This villa is a gem: a fabulous location, gorgeous design, and total relaxation. We couldn’t have asked for more and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy the Costa Brava.

What a lovely house. Isabel was kind and explained everything. Showed us around. Fantastic pool to play in for our kids. Lovely terrace in the sun. And the view over the sea and hills in the background was exceptional in the evening. We would like to return to this beautiful house.

Had a great stay, the villa has everything you need for your stay! Very comfortable. Location great, beaches and restaurants very good and nearby. Would recommend.

Whilst overall we enjoyed our stay, there were a few ways in which the villa dissapointment us. To begin, I can not fault it for cleanliness, or for location, both of which were very good. This villa, however, is advertised as 4 bedrooms and clearly it was never meant as such. Two of the bedrooms are on the 1st floor. It was clear on arrival that these 2 rooms were oiriginally a single bedroom suite with en suite and an adjoining seating area opening onto a lovely terrace (photos on the website bear this out). What they have done is install a glass sliding door in the archway dividing the two spaces. This meant you have to pass through one bedroom to get to the other one. The door was poorly fitted and afforded no real privacy. Whilst this would be a lovely spacious suite were it one bedroom (or suitable for young children) the arrangement simply isn't suitable for 2adult couples. The bed here had several broken slats. In general the furniture was poor and mismatched, and storage in the bedrooms was inadequate, even for a traveling summer wardrobe . There was very few plug sockets, I believe there was only 1 single socket in each of 3 of the bedrooms. The villa is advertised for 10 people but the kitchen was so small that the crockery had to be kept down the hall in a cupboard under the stairs. This is not necessarily a criticism as the villa never misrepresented itself as having a big kitchen, this is just an observation for anyone who is thinking of renting it and wants to cook a lot. It is however well equipped. The pool and the surrounding area were very nice and the poolside furniture good but unfortunately due to surrounding trees the pool was in the shade until the afternoon so the water never really heated up and was too cold to enjoy fully, even for the youngsters amongst us. On the website it says that the agent spoke amongst other languages English and Italian. This was clearly not the case as I speak both and the agent did not so communication was an issue. Having said that she was very jolly and friendly, was there when she said she would be, and I believe was trying to be helpful but language was obviously a barrier. A general info book, as we have found in several other villas we have rented, would have been helpful. In conclusion clean villa, nice garden and pool area, lovely views and location but needs some updating and maybe review some of the info on the website so it reflects the reality of it.
