Vielen Dank für Ihre freundliche Bewertung und für die Betreuung von Marona. Wir möchten, dass Marona wirklich komfortabel ist und, wie Sie sagen, in der Nähe des Strandes, der Geschäfte und Restaurants liegt. Wenn Sie noch einmal nach Sant Feliu kommen möchten, sind Sie im Marona herzlich willkommen.

Tout d'abord un excellent contact avec le propriétaire puis un super acceuil de Carmen. L'appartement est très bien situé, très propre,spacieux, très bien aménagé avec goût.

Sehr schöne Wohnung an guter Lage
Meine Frau und ich waren im September 3 Wochen in der Wohnung von Peter und Lucy und können die Wohnung vorbehaltlos weiterempfehlen. Die Einrichtung ist wie beschrieben sehr hochwertig und vollständig (sogar der Kühlschrank war bei unserer Ankunft mit Butter, Milch, Käse, usw. bestückt) Der Strand und das Dorf ist im etwa 5 Minuten zu Fuss erreichbar. Peter und Lucy sind bei Fragen jederzeit erreichbar und die Übergabe der Wohnung durch Carmen (welche die Wohnung auch einmal pro Woche reinigt) hat perfekt geklappt. Für uns gilt wenn wieder einmal Sant Feliu dann sicher wieder in der Wohnung von Peter und Lucy. Vielen Dank noch einmal für alles.

Exceeded our high expectations
We were maybe a little bit nervous and sceptical when we booked our stay at Peter and Lucy’s place because it was our first long stay holiday with our kids (3,5 and 1 yrs) in a new flat and town. We usually have high needs and expectations and we can say that our experience exceeded them all! Amazing communication from day 1, the flat was super clean, quiet, everything worked perfectly and the icing on the cake was the warm welcome we felt when we moved in! Peter and Lucy made sure the fridge had some food and drinks and we were overjoyed by the surprise birthday cake for our little one that turned 1 during our stay. Thank you Peter and Lucy for contributing to the best summer holidays yet for our little family.

Vacaciones relajadas
En general, el apartamento se corresponde con lo publicado. Un inconveniente es el vecino del piso superior: riega sus plantas a cualquier hora y sí estas en el balcón te moja entero. Creo que dado que es un apartamento con un montón de normas internas (7 páginas), estas debería de ser informadas con antelación a la contratación definitiva

Buenos dias Antonio Gracias por tu apreciacion y tus comentarios. Sentimos que hayas tenido algunos inconvenientes. Cuando damos la bienvenida a nuestros huespedes por telefono siempre les decimos "si teneis algun problema o necesitais informacion, contactanos por favor e intentaremos solucionarlo". Sois los unicos huespedes desde que hemos empezado a alquilar Marona en 2013 quienes han comentado sobre el riego de sus plantas por el vecino de arriba. Si nos lo hubierais comunicado, podriamos haber hablado inmediatamente con nuestro vecino quien es amigo nuestro. En cuanto a la guia para los huespedes, tal como dice al principio "Aquí hemos puesto un poco de información preliminar y, más abajo, hemos dado más detalle por orden alfabético." Hay 3 paginas de las cosas mas importantes (con informacion basica y solicitudes de como mantener Marona en buenas condiciones para todos los huespedes) y el resto contiene informacion mas detallada y menos importante por orden alfabetico por si se necesita. Si ya sabes compo hacer funcionar el aire acondicionado, el wifi y los electodomesticos, no hace falta mirar la guia. De hecho algunos clientes simplemente nos llaman si desean alguna informacion. Gracias por haber cuidado bien Marona - habeis sido unos huespedes muy considerados. Muchas gracias. Peter y Lucy

What you might need to know
First of all can I say that I agree with everything that previous reviews have said. I wondered what I could add that might be meaningful? Going on holiday at this time of year... undoubtedly yes. The weather was glorious, sufficiently hot in the middle of the day to be warm enough for sun worshipers. No rain. Fewer people. Quick smiling service wherever we went. A town large enough to be interesting but small enough not to be intimidating. A flat near enough to walk upto from town but far enough away from the shops/bars to be quiet at night. Girona on a Sunday?. Whilst most of the ordinary shops were closed, it was easier to park, get our bearings and walk around the older streets and town walls with ease. There are some very pretty beaches and coves to the north of the flat. Difficult to get to except by car but rewarded with picture postcard scenery and a lovely coastal walk joining them along the cliff top. A lovely evening visit to Pals, a hill top village. We went about 6pm, away from the crowds, easy parking and bought a lovely ceramic wall hanging. I try to bring something back from every holiday and I hadn’t seen anything like this any where else on our travels. I look for recent reviews.... home today 21/9/19.. this should count. Everything you might ever want or expect or need was more than met at every turn. So thank you Peter and Lucy for making our holiday in Catalonia so wonderful. Jan and Sandy Thomson

Well it's not very often that a review makes our eyes mist up, but this one did the trick! Thank you so much! You are absolutely right about the time of year. famous last words and all that, but the weather is pretty reliable until the end of October, and even then it can be really good. We have dined al fresco in January and this January our great nieces (7 and 5) even paddled in the sea (although not for long it has to be said!). On one day the temperature was 21 degrees... Spring is also a wonderful time in the Costa Brava - there is wild fennel and asparagus in the woods, the town is lively but not heaving and there is still a lot to see, do and experience. Sorry, getting a bit carried away! Your review is really evocative and we are sure it will help a lot of future guests in their holiday planning. You were exemplary guests and we really do hope that you will come again to Marona and explore a little more of the wonders of the Costa Brava. With warm regards, Peter and Lucy

Short stay for family get together
Spacious, very well equipped apartment with balcony, great location, convenient to everything yet quiet. Very well equipped, great showers, the extras made a big difference - beach equipment and towels. Great local recommendations from Peter and Lucy - especially El Corsari - where the clams were super. Lovely welcome from Carmen and generous welcome pack much appreciated. Really enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning. The only negative comment we could make is that the air conditioning struggled with the heat during our stay

Dear Alan and family, Thank you for your wonderful review! We like our guests to feel as at home as possible during their stay, and also to get the most out of Sant Feliu and the surrounding areas, so your generous feedback means a lot to us. We realise you were only there for a short time and were busy spending time together, but we would have been very happy to send someone over to check the a/c. It was new three years ago, using the latest technology, so, as long as all of the windows were kept shut, it should have been able to keep Marona very cool, even given the abnormally high temperatures... So there may have been a fault... We will get it checked out and re serviced. You were fantastic guests and we hope that you will return to Marona soon. With warm regards to you all Peter and Lucy

Well-appointed, fabulous 2 bedroom apartment!
What more can be said of Peter & Lucy's apartment in Sant Feliu that hasn't already been noted by others!! It is everything you'd want and more. Great location....It's just a short five minute walk downhill to the center of town and the beach. It is spotlessly clean, extremely comfortable, and very well-appointed. But best of all is the great communication and helpful advice from Peter & Lucy on what to see, where to eat and even where to go and shop on a late Sunday afternoon. Thanks for a wonderful vacation.

We had a lovely time in Sant Feliu, very well stocked kitchen with absolutely everything you need to prepare a meal, great to have a good selection of staples available upon arrival besides an amazing “welcome” pack (thank you Peter and Lucy) with eggs, butter, bread, beer and juices, milk, ham and cheese, and a very comfortable bed with high quality linens, wonderful shower and fluffy soft towels. Peter was always available via phone or text message and kept us infirormed of arrival details and the sights to see in Sant Feliu. We had a lovely time, thank you very much Peter and Lucy.

Lovely spot, perfectly situated, excellent owners
My wife and two young daughters and I stayed here over Christmas 2018 and had a wonderful time. The apartment is clean and took care of all our needs, and has a lovely view once you're on the balcony. The owners are exceptionally helpful and raced to help when we thought the oven was broken, even though it wasn't! The apartment is a short walk into town and to the beach, and it's also a very short walk to the start of the Camino de Ronda, a stunning walking path along the coast with spectacular views. The town is very nice, has everything you'd need, and is easy driving distance to lovely destinations such as Tossa de Mar, Pals, and Girona. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend it!

Fantastic apartment in a perfect location and with the best hosts you can imagine!
The apartment is perfectly located when exploring Costa Brava. We explored new beaches and places almost every day and when we came “home” we just strolled down the hill to the wonderful little city or just enjoyed the pool or the view from the balcony. The apartment has everything you need and it feels very spacious with two big bedrooms, two bathrooms and a well equipped kitchen. There are beach umbrellas, beach chairs, towels, cable TV, better wifi then back home, etc, etc. You will not miss anything. Even if you reach the city center and a beach within a 5 min walk we recommend to hire a car in order to fully explore the beautiful Costa Brava. There is a parking space in the building, it is a bit tricky to park the first time but is absolutely no problem (perhaps you should avoid to rent the biggest SUV though…). We have travelled with our family 2-3 times per year the last 10 years and Peter and Lucy are by far the best, most ambitious and thoughtful hosts we have ever had met. You really feel that they put their heart into making your holiday amazing! We rate this holiday as a 6 on a 5-degree scale.

Lovely apartment in a beautiful place on the Costa Brava
We stayed in this apartment for 4 weeks during peak summer 2018 and it was perfect for our needs (2 adults and 2 young children). The lovely town of Sant Feliu De Guixols is literally a short walk down the hill and you are in the centre of it all. Outstanding beach, bars, restaurants, shops, pharmacy, fresh market, fish market, bakery, everything you could want. We particularly liked the the fish market in the town square and did daily trips to get fresh bread from the bakery. Peter and Lucy were extremely attentive, made sure that our stay was hassle free and went out of their way to keep us informed of any local activities and events. Carmen came in once a week to clean the apartment which is very well equipped. We enjoyed the use of the paellara and cooked many an awesome paella on the balcony. We were made to feel very welcome....

Fantastic property in a wonderful seaside town!
In all my travels I believe this was perhaps the best combination of property, town, location, and owner assistance that I have ever experienced. I could not have been happier with my stay in Sant Feliu de Guixols. The he apartment was very well-appointed, with absolutely everything you could hope for - all the utensils and appliances (save for a microwave - which we did not require regardless) one would need, plus the owners went the extra mile to ensure that a “welcome package” (bread, eggs, butter, soft drinks, beer) were awaiting our arrival. The owners, Peter and Lucy, could not have been more helpful nor responsive. As they told me, they treat guests the way they would hope to be treated, and it shows! Other guests have commented on the parking space that is included with this apartment. I used it once, but found parking on the street nearby much more convenient. Do yourself a favour - stay here!

Dear Bruce, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are delighted that you loved Marona as much as we do! We have tried to ensure that Marona caters for guests regardless of the time of year in which they come to stay as we have so many guests who come for the cultural and sporting pursuits (like the golf!) as well as the summer sun-worshiping. The parking spaces in the garage are very Spanish - ie geared towards smaller cars, although they are fine (with a bit of a squeeze) for guests who want added security. personally, we always park on the street too - much more convenient! Thank you for being perfect guests. We hope that you will consider returning to Marona sometime in the future and that, in the meantime, you have many happy memories to cherish.

Superb apartment with everything you needed for a relaxing holiday
Very well situated with only a short walk into centre of Sant Feliu de Guixoles . We visited the museum ( the old monastery) walked around the port and upto the lifeboat museum , went to the market to buy fresh fish which was superb , plenty of tapas bars / restaurants so could eat somewhere different each night !! We were lucky to see the drummer bands the night we arrived which was a lovely atmosphere and nice mingling with the local Spanish people . Peter and Lucy were so helpful with supplying lots of information before we had even arrived .Always just a phone call away if you needed anything . We were met by Carmen who was lovely ! Welcome basket provided with essentials till we found our way around to get shopping . Although we tended to eat out most nights !! We had hired a car so were able to visit the little coves and beaches nearby -S'agro , Tossa de Mar , Begur ,Aigufreda and Girona for a city visit - all beautiful ! A week was not long enough to do everything that the Costa Brava has to offer - so we will just have to go back again another year !

Great apartment, clean, everything you need, easy access to beach and restaurants
We had a fabulous family stay. It was very easy to walk to town for the markets, restaurants and beach. The pool was a great bonus. Lots of things to drive to including cities, beaches, museums. Loads to do but also easy to spend a day doing very little. Kitchen easily big enough and equipped to cook family meals or easy to walk to a variety of different restaurants. Apartment was very clean and good showers. Small balcony big enough for family of four. Air con was great at night (we didn't need it during the day).

Très bel appartement
Nous avons passé de très agréables vacances dans un appartement très bien équipé et très bien situé. Peter et Lucy ont aménagé leur appartement avec beaucoup de goût et ont pensé avant tout au confort de leurs hôtes. Ils sont très facilement joignables et extrêmement soucieux du bien-être de leurs hôtes. Sur place, nous avons été reçus par Carmen qui nous a réservé un très bon accueil. Sant Feliu est une ville très agréable et nous avons beaucoup aimé la plage Sant Pol à seulement 10-15 minutes à pied de l'appartement. Si nous devions retourner à Sant Feliu, nous n'hésiterions pas une seconde à louer à nouveau l'appartement de Peter et Lucy.

Sehr gut eingerichtete Wohnung. Nahe zum Strand und City.
Optimale Lage für alle Belange. Herausragend war die Fürsorge des Vermieters. Telefonisch und persönlich wurden Fragen unmittelbar bar nach dem Ankommen zu Gastro Tipps und sonstigen Fragen geklärt. Eine Grundausstattung im Kühlschrank war aber wirklich der Gipfel des zuvorkommenden Services. Alles hat geklappt und gepasst. Kann man ohne Bedenken nur weiterempfehlen!

Excellent apartment in a great location.
We travelled with family and the four of us enjoyed the space and facilities in the apartment. The walk to and from town only took a few minutes and although we could park in the garage we tended to park in the street as the drive down the ramp into the parking bay is actually quite a tight fit for anything but a very small car. Peter & Lucy kept in contact with us regarding getting to the apartment and made sure the one small problem we had was resolved as soon as possible - on a Sunday!

Dear Liz, Thank you so much for your review! We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Marona, it really is a home from home close to all the fun and interest of the Costa Brava. We always park outside too - Spanish people seem to have smaller cars than what we are used to and Marona's block is largely owned by locals. You were fantastic guests and will receive a very warm welcome should you decide to return in the future. With best regards, Peter and Lucy

Well situated and well equipped
Three of us spent a very enjoyable week at Marona. The apartment is only a few minutes walk from the beach and from the town centre. The level of appointment is very high with comfortable furniture and absolutely all the equipment that we might need. Being primarily a residential block it was very quiet at night. The pool is adequate for a quick dip or for exercise but it is not set up to sit around on sun-loungers. With the beach being only a few minutes walk, this is not a problem. The owners are extremely helpful and try very hard to make the whole process easy and satisfying for their guests. San Feliu is a 'proper' town rather than a 'tourist' town. Consequently the restaurants are spread out over the many side streets rather than clustered together. Most places spoke some English, but not all. There are many choices of restaurant and we found all those we tried to be excellent. We liked the town and we liked the apartment. An excellent holiday.

Dear Mark and family, Thank you so much for your generous review! We want Marona to feel like a proper, comfortable, home rather than a place to crash at night whilst on holiday, so your feedback has made us feel we are on the right track. You are correct that the more residential apartments and developments don't have loungers etc round the pool (they tend to like to keep everything tidy so you have to take your loungers away when you leave!), but we hope that you used our loungers, either by the pool or on the beach. And isn't Sant Feliu fantastic?! An authentic market town with all of the amenities but with far less of the tourist crush and associated noise and dirt. You were exemplary guests and will receive a very warm welcome should you decide to return to Marona in the future. With warm regards, Peter and Lucy

Fabulous location
Situated at the harbour end of town,with great views of the harbour,sea and surrounding mountains, what more could you ask for? The apartment is fully equipped and very comfortable. We were a couple , but there is ample room for six. The town is as you would expect ,very Spanish. There were few tourists and it's mostly the folk from Barcelona who frequent this lovely jewel. The beach is sweeping with very clean clear water. Plenty of restaurants to choose from, at all prices. Do not overlook the "casino ". There is a lot of history associated with it,and an extra plus is the food is excellent and the beer and wine is the best value in town ! Should you wish to self cater, the spa at the market square has all you will need at reasonable prices. Catering for yourself in the apartment is easy as it is very well equipped. We would definitely recommend this apartment and will certainly return.

Wonderful Apartment in a great location
We were lucky enough to choose this apartment for our three month stay in Sant Feliu de Guixols over the winter months.Peter and Lucy have been great hosts. Because we planned such a long stay in one place we wanted to make sure that we were making the right choice.We had lots of questions at the beginning and Peter and Lucy answered everything quickly and providing us with lots of information.From our very first enquiry we struck up a good relationship with them and this was important to us as it gave us confidence we had chosen the right place for our stay. The apartment is large, very comfortable and stylish with everything that you need.Everything was of good quality and the whole apartment was nicely decorated. Bed linen changes were done on a regular basis (with fresh towels) by Carmen the wonderful local property manager. We felt relaxed and "at home" straight away.The apartment is ideally located close to town( about a 10 min walk to the centre and the beach) and it has great views over the marina and out to sea.The balcony is spacious with plenty of room for 4 people to sit and have a meal or a drink. We loved Sant Feliu.Its a real Spanish town with life all year round.It has some great cafes,bars and restuarants and a very pleasant pedestrian zone with small shops and alleys.There is always lots going on and Peter and Lucy were kind enough to give us regular updates on local events and celebrations over the Festive season and beyond.There is a fish and fruit/vegetable market most days and a full street market on a Sunday- quite an experience ! All in all we loved our stay.Thank you Peter and Lucy for everything that made our 3 month stay so memorable.

Dear Mike and Mary, Thank you very much indeed for your lovely, comprehensive review! We do work quite hard to answer all questions accurately as the last thing we want is disappointed guests! We are really delighted that you found Marona spacious, homely and convenient, which is exactly what we are aiming for. You were ideal guests and we look forward to welcoming you back to Sant Feliu de Guixols in the not too distant future. With warm regards, Peter and Lucy

Ideal place to explore the beauty of Costa Brava
We've repeatedly stayed at this property and we're planning on doing so again in the future. The apartment is located in a quiet yet central residential neighborhood of Sant Feliu de Guixols (SFG). It's only a few steps away from the harbor, beach and city center with small shops, a farmer's market, and a ton of restaurants to chose from. Also access to the stunningly beautiful cami de ronda, a path along the coast with gorgeous views, is just around the corner. The flat itself is fully equipped with everything you need for an enjoyable stay. Especially the kitchen is worth pointing out, because it has pretty much everything you need to prepare all the great fish and seafood that's so abundant here. Peter, Lucy, the owners, and Carmen, our local contact, have always been great hosts. The booking process is and has alway been flawless yet personal; communication is always swift and friendly before, during and after our stays. When we locked ourselves out recently, Peter immediately provided assistance in sorting out the situation, so we hardly lost any precious vacation time. The whole package, the location and the friendly owners just work perfectly for us and we'll gladly return as soon as possible. Muchas gracias, Peter, Lucy, and Carmen.

First class second visit here.
Excellent communication from owner prior to stay, as per last year, plus welcoming personal phone call on arrival to check all was well and offer assistance if necessary throughout the stay. Our second visit here to a very well appointed and comfortable apartment, kept spotlessly clean by Carmen, who also offered a friendly welcome. I would highly recommend this accommodation to couples looking for a relaxed holiday in a non touristy Catalunyan town. La Proa is an excellent restaurant, and local traiteur also very good.

Well positioned attractive property in lovely, authentic Catalan town.
Throughout the whole process, Peter and Lucy proved to be impeccable hosts. Always attentive and willing to provide an abundance of high quality information about the property, resort and surrounding areas. Arrival and departure was enthusiastically managed by Peter and Lucy's local Catalan agent. The property itself is well positioned just a short downhill walk to the beach and beautiful town of Sant Feliu de Guixols. The property being well furnished, fully equipped and with a balcony providing not only outside eating space but also great views across to the marina and out to sea, provided a clean and comfortable base for the whole family. The bedrooms we spacious with plenty of storage space whilst the two bathrooms, being welcome, do now require some attention to bring them up to the standard of the rest of the apartment. Car parking arrangements , it is worth noting, whilst tricky, are adequate. We would recommend Sant Feliu itself primarily because it retains a Spanish /Catalan authenticity which other nearby resorts lack. Always busy it never suffered from the heaving intensity of places like Palamos and the beautiful streets are full of interesting shops and a wide range of cafes and restaurants to suit all tastes and budgets. The beach is clean and the water inviting and safe for all ages. Certainly a place to which we would be happy to return to in the future.

Thank you very much for your review and for your kind words about Marona. We agree that the location and situation of Marona is a real plus - the proximity to everything important whilst being just far enough away to avoid too much noise etc is the best of both worlds. We have furnished Marona with comfort in mind, so that guests can feel completely at home. Funnily enough, we have just been discussing changing the bathrooms for next year but, if we do this, our rental rates will inevitably rise as we are currently very competetive compared with other properties of this quality. Difficult choice. Thanks again for your comprehensive review. With best regards, Peter and Lucy

A wonderful week on the Costa Brava
We really enjoyed our stay in Peter's apartment in Sant Feliu de Guixols. We didn't meet Peter, but we stayed in contact with him through SMS (text messages) throughout our stay. Peter provided all sorts of helpful information about everything from parking to grocery stores both before our stay and throughout the week as we needed it. The apartment was in a great location within walking distance of the beach/shops/restaurants in Sant Feliu de Guixols, but was very quiet at night as it was not right in the center of town. Our kids loved the pool in the courtyard. We enjoyed the main beach in town and also La Playa de Sant Pol which is a short distance away. One morning we hiked the coastal trail in between the apartment (you can get on the trail right in front of the apartment building) and the beach in Sant Pol and the views were incredible! I highly recommend that hike. Overall, we had a great time and I would highly recommend Peter's apartment.

Dear all, Thank you so much for your lovely review! We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay at Marona. We think you have described the location perfectly - close to everything, but not so close that you get the downsides of excessive noise and crowds (especially in late July/Early August which is Festa Major season!). Thank you again. You were great guests and will receive a very warm welcome should you decide to return to Marona in future. With best regards, Peter and Lucy

Great Apartment, beautiful location and fantastic owners
The apartment is great - spotlessly clean and a real home from home with buckets and spades for the children, beach chairs, a Nespresso machine and very comfortable beds. Peter and Lucy could not have been more helpful - fantastic information and very prompt in replying to us. They even arranged collections to and from the airport for us - Girona is a great airport to fly to. We are very grateful to them for making our holiday a wonderful experience. San Feliu is beautiful - a truly Catalan town with a lovely beach, wonderful restaurants and a really lovely atmosphere. Everything was so relaxed. The apartment is in a lovely location with a beautiful view from the balcony. There are plenty of supermarkets (as well as lovely food markets) nearby and a great shopping trolley in the apartment for bringing your goodies home. We usually had the pool to ourselves which was very clean. We didn't hire a car which was great for us and you don't need one with the great location of the apartment. We took the bus to Girona one day (45 mins). It is a beautiful city with lovely shops, well worth visiting. The weather was lovely - hot but nothing like the south of Spain at this time of year. A real 5 star experience - thank you Peter and Lucy!

Dear Ann and family, Thank you so much for your generous review! We are so pleased that you enjoyed Marona and Sant Feliu. We feel that Sant Feliu has so much more to offer than just a holiday resort - real Catalan life and experiences and without the continuous throngs of people (although, of course, Sant Feliu does have its moments, especially around fiesta time). We try very hard to make our guests' experience of Marona as good as it can be - holidays are so important in sustaining us all through non-holiday times that we want to help make them as memorable (in a good way!) as possible. You were exemplary guests and will receive a warm welcome should you decide to return to Marona any time in the future. With warm regards, Peter and Lucy

a perfect base to explore the Costa Brava
We (a family of three, parents and a daughter of 7) have spend two weeks in the apartment. We know the owners because we have rented the great house in San Feliu and the houses in Puligny Montrachet. One can't think of better owners than Peter and Lucy. Their commitment to your well being and pleasure is second to none. This also concerns Carmen and her husband Jordi who are the people in San Feliu who take care of you if there are matters. The threats, food and drinks which is there for you at the arrival are a great and warm welcome. The apartment is near the harbor and in short walking distance from the beach and centre of San Feliu. Shops are also in walking distance and there is a handy trolly available. No problem in finding lovely fish, meat fruit and vegetables . A paradise for the amateur chef. Also there are many very good wineshops. Peter and Lucy have a list available of shops to consider. The apartment is tastefully decorated and has the comfort one wishes. A parking place for you is in the garage. A place to come to rest and relax. It was too cold to use the swimming pool. In the weeks we were in San Feliu it is a nice and quit place. The also goes for the whole Costa Brava. The beaches are quiet and the villages are in rest and waiting for the summer season. A visit to Barcelona (a good hour drive) is recommend in the spring. There is a very nice golf course in Mas Nou with stunning views and holes. The lessons from the local pro Pedro Martinez were excellent. There are many restaurants in San Feliu to consider. We had very good seafood at Sa Marinada in the harbor for fair prices. The staff is also very good. There are plenty of other restaurants where the food is good for very reasonable prices. No problem to bring your child to a restaurant. We are coming back to San Feliu and to Marona. Peter and Lucy and Carmen and Jordi thank you for a lovely vacation !

Dear all, Thank you so much for your lovely review which, we think, tells future guests all they need to know about Marona and Sant Feliu. And thank you for your very generous remarks about how we like to look after our guests! It is a pity that it was too cold to swim in the pool this April - it has been quite an unusual year this year. The indoor pool in Sant Feliu is heated though, and has generous opening hours, so you can still swim but in a different way. Thank you again for your review - as usual, you are perfect guests and we look forward to welcoming you back to Sant Feliu (and Burgundy too!) in the not too distant future. With warm regards, Peter and Lucy

Great home away from home
We have stayed in this appartment a couple of times in the past and we'll keep coming back. Peter, Lucy and Carmen (who handles things locally) are perfect hosts who go to great lengths to make sure you have a great stay and get the most out of your vacation. This starts long before you arrive with pleasant, friendly communication, a very helpful web site/guest guide to support you in preparing your stay, recommendations for activities during your stay. When we arrived, the fridge had even been stocked up with some food and drinks to get us started without having to go out shopping first. Peter is always available via phone in case something is unclear or needs fixing (which I don't remember happening even once during our various visits). Thanks a lot! The apartment itself is very comfortable, bright and contains everything you could possibly want or need, e.g. beach towels, etc. Generally, everything here is a level above your average holiday rental and feels more like a home away from home. It's especially worth mentioning the fully equipped kitchen, because there is an abundance of seafood and all kinds of fresh produce to try for hobby chefs. Of course, if you're more into restaurants, the apartment is located in a quiet yet central residential area within walking distance of the town centre (5-10min) with lots of nice places in all price ranges. Sant Feliu de Guixols is a great place to experience the beauty of the Costa Brava. Comparably unspoiled by mass tourism it has a lively vibe all year round, mostly without the tackyness of some more well known places in the area. There are still lots of down-to-earth local shops frequented by locals. The scenery is great (with a lovely view from the apartment's balcony) and it's ideally suited if you want to explore this part of Catalunya. Girona is well worth a visit (rated one of the Top 10 weekend getaways by The Guardian recently), Barcelona is within driving distance and there's a myriad of beaches to chose from. Long story short - we'll be back. I hope I haven't shot myself in the foot with this positive review ;)

Dear Michael and family, Thank you so much for your very generous review! You are so right about the location, both of Marona itself and of Sant Feliu de Guixols. We wanted Marona to be a holiday home plus, hence the properly equipped kitchen and the comfy beds etc. It's good to feel properly at home rather than that you are "camping" somewhere. Thank you for being such thoughtful guests. We look forward to welcoming you back to Marona in the near future. With warm regards, Peter and Lucy
