Local places of interest: Calella de Palafrugell: Picture postcard old fishing village with beautiful beaches, coves and typical white seaside houses. Traditional small boat fishing is still practiced here. Llafranc: Sister village to Calella de Palafrugell. It makes for a beautiful walk along the coast between the two villages. Sitting high on the cliffs to the north of Llafranc is the stunning vista from the lighthouse, restaurant and medieval church (ask for the key in the restaurant) of El Far / Sant Sebastian. Pals: Beautifully preserved hilltop medieval village, complete with church, castle, winding cobbled streets and vistas to the Mediterranean. Girona: Medieval city with charming narrow cobbled streets and a perfectly preserved “old quarter”. Girona also has many shops and department stores in the newer part of town. Figueres: Home of the world-renowned Dalí museum. If you have any interest in art this is the place for you. And don’t forget Pubol, a local village with a castle that Dalí renovated

About Joan & Andy Ball
We are a retired English Couple and we built this house in 2007 on land adjacent to our house where we have lived full time for 13 years when we are not travelling the world. We have one daughter at University in England although she did go to school in the area. We speak Spanish and Catalan.
Joan & Andy Ball purchased this Villa in 2007
Why Joan & Andy Ball chose Calonge
We love the location thats why we live here. The beautiful mountain views and the proximity to the beach. Also there is so much to visit in the immediate area. Lots of biking and walking trails. Lots of culture and the restaurants are wonderful.
What makes this Villa unique
The mixture of sea and mountains is a wonderful benefit. A relaxing way of life and not loud, drunken people. Its very family orientated and is mainly Catalan and Spanish which we love. There are so many things to do in the area. We love our little part of Catalonia.

Great family holiday villa
Large comfortable Villa in a quiet location
Fantastic holiday, superb villa
IDEAL FAMILY VILLA WITH PANORAMIC VIEWS
Good location - selective description
We always welcome and encourage constructive truthful feedback from our clients and pride ourselves on keeping our property well maintained and the furnishing up to date and in good working order.
We have received twenty 5 star reviews and one 4 star review over the past seven years and we are aghast at these negative comments. The latest 5 star review was only 2 weeks before this clients arrival.
We believe that this review was in retaliation to our contacting the clients regarding the terrible/disgusting state in which they left our villa and the damage caused. One bathroom had vomit all over the walls and floor, rubbish and food was left everywhere which caused insect infection, furniture had been mistreated and some linen had to be discarded as it was so dirty. The villa had to be deep cleaned at an extra cost to ourselves.
We ask all our guests to the contract us if there are any issues so we can resolve them or replace or repair items immediately. No contact was made by these clients, including no comments about the internet.
As clearly outlined in our contract clean linen is available if requested, which it was not. The outside wood furniture was purchased in 2013/2014.
We are saddened by this untruthful review and ask future clients to consider all the other fantastic reviews we have received for our villa and also to note that we already have 2 repeat renters for next year.
