35 Reviews of Property 69642 in Calonge, Spain

This is a fantastic villa with a beautiful, large and very private pool. We had a wonderful fortnight here with combinations of adult sons joining us at different points during our stay! The weather was fabulous every day and much time was spent enjoying the pool, lying in the shade reading, playing boules and topping up ice-cold water from the very impressive fridge (we are already measuring up at home to see if we can fit one in!). The house is extremely easy to be in and suited our family needs perfectly.
There is lots to do in the area and we spent several days exploring the less populated coves which often meant a walk through woods to get there. The snorkelling was great and we found some beautiful beaches at Aiguafreda (excellent restaurant up the lane away from the beach) and further north and along the coastal footpath,
The Gala-Dali house in Pubol is worth a visit and not far away at all.
All in all a thoroughly lovely holiday and we would highly recommend this villa to anyone who is looking for a bit of luxury and a very comfortable stay. Sue and Anthony could not have been more helpful and ready to answer the numerous questions we had to ask - very friendly and approachable.

The villa was in excellent condition and had a beautiful well maintained garden. The pool was great and there were lovely views from the terrace and both balconies.

The living space at lower ground level is open plan and is ideal for holiday living. The kitchen was very well equipped and the seating space, although small, was more than adequate for our needs. This area was only used for occasional TV viewing as most of the time were outside in the sun.

The two bedroom at upper ground floor level were both quite small and one in particular was quite tight for two people. However both of the associated ensuite bathrooms were a good size and were well equipped.

We enjoyed the separate barbecue area in the evenings and the views at night are great.

The drive is very steep and you need take a run at it to ensure you get to the top in a car.

Overall we had a great holiday and enjoyed the villa immensely.

Having rented in Europe (Spain,France,Italy,Great Britain) each summer for 10 years (2 couples) we would rate the Villa Corela our #1 rental experience; lovely owners, clean, well-furnished, all amenities, great layout, beautiful pool as well as grounds, varied eating, relaxing areas, private, secure, etc.; a perfect spot for exploring the Costa Brava or the interior; area (including Barcelona and Girona) also rates as our favorite along with Provence; experience this rental opportunity-you won't be diappointed.

We had a wonderful week at Villa Corela relaxing by the pool by day and BBQing by night. The villa and gardens are very well maintained and have everything that you could possibly need. The agent that met us with the keys was very friendly and useful and the villa was clean. The villa is well situated for beaches, supermarkets and other activities, although we didn't do much as relaxing by the pool was so enjoyable. I highly recommend the villa and will certainly be looking to go again next year!

Excellent!! I could spend pages describing how fantastic the whole villa is, but I will highlight the great new barbecue place with a view to the sea, which was not there 2 years ago in my first visit. Definitely a great aquisition!! I would definitely recommend. Thanks

We have just returned from a wonderful break at this villa.We were delighted to arrive with the drive lights on, and to find that it had been left in an immaculate order.The essentials were in place, not least of all a bottle of wine and croissant for breakfast the next morning.
The hillside position gave excellent views, including an aspect of the sea.The privacy provided by the lovely garden, meant total seclusion for almost all sunbathing areas and the pool. We enjoyed dining outside, on the different terraces.
We found the area full of picturesque beaches,coves and walks, together with charming villages. San Antoni beach is very near, and we enjoyed particularly San Pol. Sa Tuna near Begur is tiny and nice for lunch. Pals is a medieval town, well worth a visit.
We hope to visit again

We stayed in the delightful Villa Corela and had a wonderful time. Everywhere was very clean & beautifully presented and the owners were extremely helpful before booking.
We were training for a half marathon at the time & there are some great runs to Sant Antoni beach & back whilst the others were enjoying lazying around by the pool - we'll do that next time!
We visited Palamos at night & enjoyed some of the tapas bars in the old part of the town & found some great coastal walks between Castell along to Platja D 'Aro.
We certainly hope to return at some time. What a great location with fantastic views.
Highly Recommended!!!

We stayed in this lovely villa in July 2008. It is in a beautiful part of the Costa Brava just 10 minutes drive from the beach at San Antoni de Calonge. The villa itself is wonderful with plenty of balconies, terraces and seating for you to be able to relax and look out right across the area. The beds were really comfortable and everything was spotless. There was a welcoming bottle of wine for us when we arrived, along with tea, coffee and milk. The pool was fantastic and not overlooked at all and there were pool toys for the kids to play with. Don't pack your beach towels as they are provided at the villa along with lovely fluffy bath towels. The kitchen is well equipped with cooker, hob, microwave dishwasher etc, even down to teatowels, clingfilm salt, pepper etc. There are CDs and a docking station for an I-pod which we found useful, also a good selection of paperbacks to read whilst lounging around the pool.
The owners, Sue and Anthony, kept us well informed when we booked and their agent Jim met us in Calonge to show us to the villa and give us information about the surrounding area which was very useful. There are supermarkets in the town itself about 15 minutes walking distance away but it's an uphill walk coming back so I'd definitely recommend driving to pick up your shopping. The Suma supermarket also sells UK newspapers. There are other larger supermarkets a few minutes drive away at San Antoni along with a good selection of restaurants. We wouldn't recommend the Hong Kong restaurant on the main street unless you like you fried rice to be made with paella rice. The portions were tiny too-no good for starving teenagers!
The villa itself is around 45 minutes drive from Gerona airport and Calonge is a good starting point to explore that part of the coastline. The coastal drive to Tossa de Mar is spectacular but only do it if you are not scared of heights and confident with driving on the wrong side of the road on a cliff edge! We also crossed over to Perpignan for a day in France which is around 2 hours drive away along the toll roads(7 to 8 Euros).
I'd recommend this villa to anyone who wants a little bit of luxury on their holiday. It's by far the nicest villa we've stayed in, peaceful, relaxing and there was nothing we could have added to it to make it any better than it was, except perhaps more spending money-food costed more due to the poor exchange rates.
Thanks Sue and Anthony, we're hoping to come back next year. Debbie, Tim and family.
