We are a young family with 2 children aged 10 and 12 years old. Our family has a long history and love for this environment and we have been here for 4 generations. We definitely come to the house at least every season of the year to enjoy what the Costa Brava has to offer. We like to go out for culture and sports, eat tapas in the evening in Palamos or in the afternoon just like the Spaniards have a nice lunch. Every time it is again enjoying, and we are still discovering new places, while we come here as our life. Also at Christmas we like to spend a few days skiing in the Pyrenees. We also love to enjoy at home with a good book and some local delicacies or light the bbq with the best gambas in the world and the gambas from Palamos! We are so happy with our house that we always like to share this with other people. We really see our house as mi casa es su casa.

Reception via real estate agency around the corner is overwhelming, friendly and helpful! Okay, 180 for cleaning is tough (read 10 hours!), but... It's really super clean, chapeau!!
It's lovely here, an absolute must!

Glad that you were so well received by our manager on site. Also good to hear and to be reaffirmed how great you had it. Always nice to hear this from our tenant and good to hear that you have arrived well again.

Too bad that in the morning and evening nothing of confusion could be laid out, otherwise everything okay

Thank you for your comment and glad you had a pleasant and enjoyable stay. You could have simply turned on the heating during your stay or turned on the fireplace. That goes without saying.

Excellent location, quiet neighborhood, and yet close to entertainment, etc.
In terms of service and involvement, kudos to the landlord and rental organization.

Been for the 2nd time, was fantastic again. When I wanted to book last year, it was already full, but the owner was so sweet that a place was found with some sliding. Really everything a big 10!

Thank you for the good review and nice that you enjoyed it so much again. From now on there are also ceiling fans in el Refugio, they work very well, unfortunately they could only be installed after your departure, because we h...
