Lovely villa, beautiful part of Spain
I booked Can Jenny just for it's location and the description on this web site.
We needed the location as my son was playing in the MIC football tournament and myself and the rest of the family wanted to go and watch the games, in between holidaying, which were all within 40 minutes of the villa.
I have to say that we were more than pleasantly surprised. The villa itself is in a fantastic setting, about half way down the hill and with a sea view. It's clean and tidy and all on one level and has a lovely pool - although a bit cold in April (it did get used by my brave sons and their friends though).
We did not have good weather for the whole week but a pack of cards and a roaring fire in the wood burning stove at least partly made up for the lack of sun.
The villa is situated on a private and secured estate with many, very nice, villas all around it and, at the bottom of the hill, is a very nice private beach for the residents and a very welcoming beach bar.
Turn left out of the estate and you head to Lloret de Mar (where my footballing son was staying). It's a typical Spanish resort full of tacky night life and Northern Europeans in inappropriate clothing - if you like that sort of thing!
Turn right out of the estate and you will quickly come to Tossa de Mar which is a real treat with Riviera style architecture, a beautiful old castle, lovely beach and fine restaurants - a real contrast!
Carry on up the coast road (and what a road!) and your breath will be taken away by the scenery and you will eventually reach the beautiful town of Sant Feliu de Guíxols.
Two reasons for giving 4 stars instead of 5. Firstly the weather and secondly, because of the weather, we couldn't get our clothes dry - the villa could really do with a tumble dryer.
I hadn't been to this part of Spain before but I have fallen in love and will definitely go again and I would definitely go back to Can Jenny - what a find!
