Perfect holiday home
The Villa Avatar is located a comfortable driving distance of about an hour from Barcelona’s main airport. On arrival we were met by Noemi and Angel, who showed us around and went through everything with us. They told us about the local area, recommended places for eating out and food shopping and left us to settle in.
The Villa is very spacious and comfortable. There is a bedroom and a bathroom downstairs, just off the main sitting/dining area, which is perfect for a couple or small children if you don’t want them using stairs. The other three bedrooms, en-suite and a family bathroom are upstairs. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you can possible need to cook a nice meal at home, there is an outdoor BBQ oven, which got used everyday and plenty of wine glasses to enjoy the local wines and cava. There is a nice sitting area outside to enjoy lunch or dinner and a terrace to relax and enjoy the sunshine. There are large umbrellas for those who prefer to stay out of the sun.
There were 7 of us staying at the villa, 5 adults and 2 children under 5. The property has an electronic gate and can easily accommodate two cars. We hired a VW Tiguan and Polo. Noemi and Angel provided a baby cot and a highchair for our little one. There is a garage just off the main living room which has a washing machine and an area outside for drying the washing. Every room is equipped with an air-conditioning unit for a comfortable good night sleep and has a built in mosquito nets.
The Villa is very secure with metal window shutters and a security alarm system which can be enable when you are out and during the night.
The location is fantastic – five minutes walk to a lovely family beech. There is an area on the beech which is slightly sheltered by the rocks and quite shallow for the little ones to splash around.
We did most of our food shopping in a local produce place which sells lots of fresh fruit, salad, fish, meat and wine.
We stayed two weeks, but are planning to be back. The location of the villa is perfect. You can always go exploring in the morning and go down to the beach in the afternoon. Being so close to the beach means that you can just pop down when you feel like it, and with children it is a big plus.
As for our hosts, Noemi and Angel are very friendly and helpful and were happy for us to contact them anytime
The checkout was very relaxed. We had a fantastic time and Villa Avatar is a spacious and comfortable holiday home.
