Description from owner

Description

This enchanting, well-equipped & spacious four-bedroom detached house, with its own garden, is quietly situated yet only a short walk from sandy beach, shops, restaurants and bars of Playa de Pals. With several beaches, pool, fantastic snorkelling, golf and local medieval towns nearby, there is something for everyone.

The villa is built in the Catalan style with white plaster walls, and doors and window frames/shutters of varnished pine. It is equipped throughout to a high standard. It sleeps 8 comfortably and has space to relax, within the house, on the large covered terrace, or on the lawn in its garden. It has a pleasant view and overlooks the gardens and pool of the Sa Punta restaurant, rated one of the finest in the region. The house is surrounded by scented pines and the immediate vicinity comprises an abundance of green in which there are other detached houses set off quiet roads with little traffic.

In summer most meals will be taken outdoors on the large covered terrace, which has a built-in BBQ.

Playa de Pals is a small resort set in the most beautiful part of the Costa Brava between Barcelona and the French border. It is mainly composed of villas set around a village centre, in which can be found the typical facilities of a beach resort. The beach is sandy and extends for a considerable distance, while there are a number of additional smaller beaches in sandy coves within a short walk or drive. There are two magnificent golf courses nearby, and all sorts of water sports are available. Pals itself is an unspoilt medieval walled town, a must for any visitor. Inland, the countryside consists mostly of wooded hills, with a view to the distant Pyrenees. Local vineyards produce both wine and cava; it's great fun to taste before buying!

Playa de Pals is a summer resort. In early Spring and in Autumn many shops and restaurants are closed, though a good number of each remain open. Our low-season prices reflect this. If in low season the nights should be cold, the house can be heated with a combination of log fire, gas heater and electric heaters.

The bedrooms comprise an en-suite master bedroom with king-sized double bed, a second bedroom with queen-sized double bed, a third bedroom with two beds that can be used either as two single or one double, and a fourth bedroom will two single beds. They all have duvets and pillows. A child's cot may be hired at a cost of €15.

Please note that sheets and bath towels are included in the rental price. Please bring your own beach towels.

Opposite, there is the large pool of Sa Punta restaurant. Please note that the pool is reserved for customers. If you make a point of making yourself customers by taking a meal there and then taking drinks by the pool whenever you go, you may at the restaurant's discretion be able to swim. This is usually no problem.

La casa muy cómoda en un entorno muy tranquilo. Al estar en una ladera y con pinos prácticamente no se be a los vecinos por lo que hay mucha tranquilidad. La casa está bien equipada, excepto que le faltaba alguna colcha fina para las noches que refresca en verano

This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on all reviews.

Response from the owner Nous engageons une femme de ménage pour effectuer 6 heures de nettoyage de la maison avant l’arrivée de tous visiteurs. La maison a bien été nettoyée avant l’arrivée de cette famille. A Playa de Pals l’eau de robinet est très dure el laisse des taches sur la vaisselle, la verrerie et les casseroles. Cette famille a noté ces marques en arrivant et malheureusement a conclu que tout était sale et que le ménage n’a pas été fait. Si jamais il arrive qu’il y ait une lacune dans le travail de nettoyage, nous sommes prêts à renvoyer la femme de ménage pour la traiter, à nos propres frais. Villa Francastella est une maison familiale bien aimée et nous ne proposons pas à nos visiteurs un hôtel de cinq étoiles. Il peut en effet y avoir des objets « obsolètes », que nous chérissons quand-même. Nous vous invitons, cher lecteur, à comparer cette revue avec celles laissées par d’autres visiteurs, et à tirer vos propres conclusions.
