Spent a week at this lovely villa with two young children and an elderly mother.

The villa is on small estate with neighbours either side to but you don't feel overlooked. The pool is at the front of the house and again a high wall keeps away prying eyes. The pools is a good size and depth - maybe a little too deep for very young children or non swimmers. Once you've decided to book this villa the owner provides a wealth of information regarding the property and the area.

The accommodation is all on one floor so very helpful for the elderly or infirm - although there are a couple of steps up/down to the pool area. All the kitchen utensils etc are well provided for. There is air-con in the living area and master bedroom which is great when you need to cool down !! Would suggest that ceiling fans in the other 2 bedrooms would help as it got quite stuffy at night.

The town/village of L'Ametlla de Mar has some real nice restaurants specialising in fish of course !! Can be difficult to park but there is parking at the top of the village and a little train can be taken into the centre (it's free) and you can hop on/off.

There is supermarket on the estate for the villa and although he is a little more expensive than the SPAR in the town, it's easy to park and he does cater for visitors on short stays, ie small jars of mayo, small packets of butter etc and his fresh fruit and veg is lovely. The SPAR is by the station and a nightmare to park and we didn't feel there was a huge difference in price, so we opted for the local guy.

Overall an enjoyable week's holiday and would recommend this villa if you want to explore this area.
