Just what we needed.
We spent the most wonderful 12 nights here at the end of August/ beginning of September.
The location is stunning and peaceful. Sitting on the terrace looking out to sea was so relaxing.
The house is well equipped with everything we needed. It has a lovely homely feel as is the family’s second home.
The kids loved the pool. Even though it’s shared we were quite often the only people in it. It’s a good size and great for adults wanting to do lengths as well as kids just having fun.
There are so many lovely beaches and coves to explore on this stretch of coast. Our favourites were the little cove near the house at El Golfet - this has rocks that people were jumping off into the sea as well as great snorkeling and swimming- Tamariu, for its diving board into the sea which the kids loved and lovely beach side bars and Cala de la Fosca which is a rare sandy beach. Do take water shoes as the beaches are mostly pebbly in this area and you will need them for rock scrambling.
We also visited the Salvador Dali museum in Figueres which is definitely worth a trip and the boys went to watch a match at Camp Nou which they said was a brilliant atmosphere.
We stayed elsewhere in the area a few years ago but would love to return to Calella as it’s such a lovely area and we there is so much more we want to see.
For younger children there is a little amusement park called Coqui Parc in Palafrugell and a lovely Pizza restaurant next door called Funky pizza. Go there rather than the cafe on site at the amusement park as the pizzas are made fresh to order.
Louise the owner couldn’t have been more helpful, even posting some things back to us that we left at the house.
We look forward to returning in the future.
