About the home

A simple but comfortable first floor Catalan apartment on the sunny side of Cadaques with a wonderful view, over looking the iconic little church and bay. Situated on a little street, surrounded by local people this is the ideal place to become Catalan for a while!

A shallow flight of stairs leads you up from the street to a twin and a double bedroom, two bathrooms and a well equipped kitchen. A reasonable sized lounge and dining area is dominated by a large window that frames the stunning view out over Cadaques, the bay and surrounding mountains.

On the balcony there can be few better places to enjoy a late breakfast or evening drinks before heading off on the short 10 minute walk to the centre of Cadaques and its wonderful selection of restaurants, bars and shops.

Salvador Dali, Picasso and a host of other famous artists have discovered the unique light of Cadaques that has inspired some of the worlds most famous paintings.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
One twin bedroom with wardrobe and chest of drawers and west facing window overlooking the village. A double bedroom with the same but French windows leading out onto the balcony. Duvets are available for Spring or autumn holidays.Next to the bedrooms are two simple bathrooms, both with w/c, basin and showers. We prefer guests to bring their own linen and towels but they can be provided on request.

The kitchen is well equipped with double basin, fridge-freezer, electric cooker and washing machine - with more than enough equipment to prepare delicious meals from the produce that you have bought from the excellent local shops or Monday market.

The lounge-dining room has traditional Catalan wooden furniture, sofa and chairs, CD player, books and maps and gas and electric heaters for early summer chilly nights. French windows lead out from the lounge onto the balcony which has a sunshade and white outdoor furniture. There is (slow) dial-up internet connection at the moment but hoping to have WiFi soon if Telefonica sort this out! There are 2 iPod compatable music players - the music centre also has a USB port.

Further details outdoors:
Sunny balcony with table and chairs for al fresco meals. Parking is on the street. Quite a good view.........(see pictures)!! Guests are asked to water Bill if its dry.

Further details

This is a family holiday home found on a little street in an unspoilt Catalan village.

Local people live next door so we encourage visitors who enjoy immersing themselves in the local culture. Our house keeper is available to assist our guests.

Please note rates in Euros.

The Costa Brava/Catalonia region

This north eastern part of Spain has a wild and varied beauty that has brought people here from far and wide for centuries. The flat delta lands of the south give way to fertile hills which lead to the massive Pyrenees, all dotted with characterful small towns and villages along with the big exciting city of Barcelona.

We have been trying to keep this part of Spain a secret but with the arrival of cheap flights to Barcelona (easyJet) and Gerona, Perpignan and Beziers (Ryanair) more and more people are finding out about this pleasant land. With its own language, repressive history and unusual festivals, Catalunya has a sure identity of which it is very proud.

Tip: Don't ask for Paella here - you'll be told to go on holiday to Costa Blanca..........!

The Cadaques area

Cadaques is in the far north-eastern corner of Spain where the Pyrennees mountains tumble into the Mediterranean sea. Its still a white washed village, straggling a rocky bay, reached by a twisty mountain road that has protected it from the ravages of vulgar development that so much of Spain has suffered. Its major claim to fame is that it was the home of the world famous Spanish painter Salvador Dali, whose museum home (only 10 minutes walk from the apartment) you can now visit.

This rugged part of the coast line is perfect for swimming, diving and snorkelling; many of the cove type beaches are quiet havens to enjoy with a relaxing summer holiday novel. The hilly interior is challenging walking and biking country, where you will find vineyards, horse riding, monasteries and deserted farmsteads.

The near by port of Rosas has long sandy beaches, sailing and a thriving skydiving centre. Dali's world class museum in Figueras is a must.

We all had a great time, Cadaques is beautiful and I am sure we will all return again soon. LS Aug 2010

Just to let you know that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Cadaques. Fatima told us on our first day that there was something special about the place, and after staying there for just a week and having explored up and down the coast a bit we can see what she means.
P.s. We were lucky enough to spend our first anniversary outside watching the boats in the bay. It is going to be hard to beat next year! MF - Sept 2010

Loved all the things about our stay in Cadaques - food, walks, bars but the best things of all was your apartment. TW 2010

Its just got to be the best balcony in the village! We spent all our evenings there watching the sky turn from blue to pink to gold, followed by the canopy of stars surround the mountains. magical. Thank you so much. DR August 2010.

Loved our stay in Cadaques, great apartment - many thanks.

The view from the balcony is stunning and the location just up from the town is great to give a short walk home after dinner.
