Fabulous comfortable home close enough to enjoy all beach action

Lovely home with a distant view of the ocean, we had several beautiful beaches to choose from, excellent Restaurantes and shopping in addition to local attractions. We were warmly welcomed, and the property manager quickly responded to our questions and one non- issue that arose. Loved the home and the town, didn’t know much about how charming the town and beach really was. Spent time in Barcelona, and Drove north to Caduceus, and went to several beach cities. L’Escala was by far the most enjoyable. The house and pool were excellent, and we could not have asked for anything to change. Excellent vacation home.

Lovely house in a quiet neighbourhood.

Nice clean swimming pool with toys to be used by the kids to play with. We were very fortunate with the weather in October so the pool was used frequently. You could say the interior is a bit outdated as mentioned earlier and could use an upgrade, but thats personal. We thought it was a nice family house and we felt really at home. Just a 15 minute walk from the beach of cala montgo. The surroundings are beautifull. Visited the archeological site in l'escala which is really recommended. Just 45 minutes from the beautifull town Girona. We will love to come back someday!

Wonderful holiday weeks

Spend 3 weeks at the villa Marcopolo, absolutely loved the pool, especially the children, who could not get enough of it.. Hardly were indoors, except to cool down a bit when it was > 37C for a few days, happy with the aircon. The villa has everything one needs, to relax and enjoy, the area the villa is located in is really quiet and green. Used the BBQ a lot and dined at lovely, reasonably priced restaurants in L'Escala, which is a lovely old village. Very nice beaches nearby and a lot of nice places to visit in the Emporda area. Would certainly like to come back to this spot!

Wunderschöne Villa mit tollem Pool

Die Villa ist gut ausgestattet, hat einen traumhaften Pool in dem man schwimmen oder mit dem Kind toben kann. Wenn was war (Kühlschrank war kaputt) wurde ultraschnell reagiert. Die Lage ist super- bis in die Stadt sind es 1,5.Kilometer- dasurch hat man die nötige Ruhe, aber ist nicht weg vom Schuss. Absolute Empfehlung

Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt, hatten das Haus als Familie für zwei Wochen gemietet. Die Lage war perfekt (mit dem Auto) zu verschiedenen Stränden und zu den Restaurants der Cala Montgo, besonders genossen haben wir den grandiosen Blick über L’ Escala und das Meer. Das Haus ist sehr gut gepflegt, ebenso der Pool.

Een heerlijk huis met een heerlijk privé zwembad

Het is een heerlijke plek. Als je van rust houdt is dit de plek waar je moet zijn. Het huis binnen is wat oud dated, kan wel wat een opknapbeurt gebruiken. Maar verder is het huis voorzien van alle gemakken en schoon. Naar supermarkt lopen is 13 min. en strand is daar vlakbij. We hadden onze hond meegenomen die zich prima vermaakt heeft op het honden strand, wat een uur lopen is van het huis. Wij voelden ons echt thuis in Villa Marco Polo.

Tranquila pero antigua en reformas

El entorno y la agencia local muy bien. la casa parece en obras inacabadas. Aunque la alquilan con lavavajillas, éste se encuentra saliendo de la casa y bajando unas escaleras a un parking, en una cocina en obras que se está construyendo allí, lo que supone bajar y subir con la vajilla en cada comida saliendo de la casa. No es nada cómodo. El jardín también está un poco abandonado y en obras.
