Transatlantic villa at the seafront

Clean room, family friendly

We had a lovely stay in Catherine's beautiful villa. This is an amazing property in a quiet area of Llafranc with exceptional views and only 8-10 minutes walk from the center of Llafranc. It has beautiful terraces all with great views, loads of space and lots of character. We enjoyed the pool and watching all the boats rounding the point. We also enjoyed meeting her family who were visiting while we were there. The house is well equipped with everyone you need to enjoy the house including a kind gift on our arrival. We would have no hesitation in recommending.

This is a magnificent property and Catherine is a delight.

We LOVED this property. Two middle-aged couples spent the week relaxing on the terrace, visiting Medieval cities or Roman ruins, and walking the Cami de Ronda. The location was the absolute best - relaxing city that is not too small nor too big, right by the Cami de Ronda for beautiful walks, and incredible terrace to enjoy the view. The host was fantastic with following up with us. I highly recommend this house! The rooms, kitchen, and bathrooms were large and comfortable. We made many lunches and dinners in the kitchen to enjoy on the terrace. If you want to go to Costa Brava, choose this location.

Great place

Great host, and a wonderfully secluded property. Have been to Llafranc for 15 years and this was easily my best stay due to marvelous Villa Esmeralda. Hope I can come back some day!

We spent a lovely time and enjoyed the house a lot. Thank you Catherine for being such a great host!

Great location, fantastic view, good size property for 6 adults and two young children. Plenty of outside area to chill and drink/ eat. 15 mins from the beach and centre Llafranc Only negatives were mosquitoes and the location for the rubbish disposal

Great stay. Only problem was the limited WIFI and phone access.

This traditional villa built 55 years ago is in an amazing location with fabulous outside terraces. The house is a feat of engineering and is obviously much loved by the owners. It is a tribute to them to have kept the villa for 6 generations. The villa is semidetached with the owner living in the other half of the villa and sharing the access, garaging and pool. There is only garaging for 1 car within the property, any other car has to be parked outside. The living space is very good with immediate access to one of the 3 terraces. The 3 main bedrooms are spacious but would not suit very well if the party was composed of 4 couples. I believe that it is normal practice if the bedroom can be a twin or a double that for a couple the bed should be made up as a double and not with 2 sets of single sheets. The bedroom we stayed in, the double with the single beds put together, had no mirror. I wish we had asked about additional housekeeping. There was no information when we arrived about this as an option. I would have gladly paid for 2 hours of housekeeping per day. The only cleaning was of the pool twice per week and of the outside terraces once whilst we were there. I would expect if staying for 2 weeks that the linen would be changed on the beds after a week and I would expect linen of a local hotel standard. We have stayed in the past in several of the local hotels. The villa has excellent electronic shutters and there is detailed advice regarding using the shutters to keep the villa cool. I am not sure in high season how effective this would be without ceiling fans or air conditioning. There are small electric fans available in the house. There is WiFi but it is very limited and makes life very difficult if you have to stay connected to your own business, which unfortunately was the case for one of my sons. We are happy to choose to escape social media, but business availability is often part of modern life. We had a very good stay in an area that we know well and love. We wish Catherine and her family many more years of enjoying their family home.
