“The perfect apartment, near to the beaches and the town” The apartment is located adjacent to a main roundabout, which at first seems to be away from town and the beaches, however, we soon discovered that once we'd crossed the road by the roundabout, the beautiful beaches of L'escala were just a leisurely 10 minute walk away at most. The town itself is a similar distance and the the location of the apartment becomes a real bonus at the end of the day, allowing us that short distance away from the beaches and the town at the end of each evening. The apartment is very well presented, very tastefully furnished and extremely well maintained. The balcony faces the sunny side of the building, overlooking an equally well maintained outside swimming pool and lawn. There's a reasonably well stocked LIDL store just 5 minutes walk from the apartment and a larger super-store another 5 minutes away. The apartments were relatively peaceful in the evenings allowing us to enjoy the balcony area and relax at the end of each day. Barcelona is a 95 minute Express train journey away; the nearest station being at Flaca', a 15-20 minute taxi ride from L'escala. We had a great week in this apartment and in the area of L'escala itself and I would recommend this as a holiday destination

“Fabulous apartment in a lovely part of Spain - highly recommended” This was our third time at the apartment which is spacious and well equipped and furnished. The apartment block and pool are also very clean and quiet. Lovely sunny balcony and parking included. Some lovely beaches within walking distance and plenty of restaurants. Nearby town of L'escala and village of Saint Marti both within walking distance and nice atmosphere in the evenings. Would go again. Lots to do and see in the wider area also.

“A great Spanish experience” I was joined by 4 fellow golfers and we stayed at Athenea 1 for 4 days. After a short trip from the airport it was easy to find the accommodation. They say that first impressions count. Well this is certainly true as a lot of thought had obviously gone into the layout of the apartments, the grounds and the centrally located swimming pool. The apartment was spacious, contemporary and very clean, which made it very relaxing. We played golf at Emporda, which has two fabulous golf courses. We were a pleasant walk from the town and beach and had no trouble finding decent places to eat. The food and wine was excellent as were the people. A very enjoyable break.
