About the home

Dofi is a small but cosy studio apartment that has a wonderful setting on the top floor of the building that also houses the well known restaurant of the same name. With an extensive terrace and great sea views this is the perfect setting for a couple who want to be right in the heart of the resort and yet only a few steps from the golden sandy beach of Tamariu.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
The access to the studio is through a private entrance beside the restaurant. Stairs lead up to the top floor and the entrance is to the large private sun terrace that has wonderful views down over the beach and the sparkling sea.

The interior of the studio is accessed from the terrace. Dofi is light and bright with white walls and tiled floors as well as some colourful furnishings and comprises an open-plan living room with a sitting area, television and a double bed. The kitchen opens off the living area and is set at the rear of the studio with a dining table and is well equipped for two people with an electric hob and a microwave, refrigerator, coffee machine and toaster. There is a separate shower room with a shower, w.c. and wash hand basin. There is also a washing machine in a cupboard on the roof terrace. For cooler evenings early or late season the studio has an electric heater.

Wifi can be arranged using a ''dongle connection'' at a cost of €50 per week

A DVD player can be arranged on request

Further details outdoors:
The large roof terrace measures 7.5 x 4 m (maximum extent) and is furnished for dining and relaxing, or just soaking up the sun. From the terrace there are wonderful views across the Bay of Tamariu to the wooded hillsides or out over the beach to the sparkling sea. The terrace is in full sun for most of the day and there are sun shades and loungers. It is the perfect spot for dining al fresco, but if you want to sample the many excellent restaurants in Tamariu, including the Es Dofi below, they are all just a few metres walk away.

GUEST COMMENTS

Dear Linda

I just wanted to let you know that we fell in love with Dofi and had the most amazing holiday. Everything was perfect. Tamariu is the same lovely place that it was way back in 1959 when I made my first visit.
We rekindled links with the Hotel Tamariu....
If we decide to book Dofi next year how soon should we do it?

Best Wishes
E C - June 2011



We have had an absolutely delightful stay at the apartment - it suited our needs perfectly - if you ever consider selling please let us know !

B and D - August

The Costa Brava/Catalonia/Barcelona region

Catalonia, or perhaps better known as the Catalunya region, is the area of northern Spain bordering the Mediterranean just to the south of the French border. This ancient Kingdom once extended from near Narbonne in France down to Barcelona and eastwards to include the Balearic Islands. The area was later divided between France and Spain but even today it remains fiercely Catalan, as can be seen by the numerous red and yellow striped flags proudly displayed.

Perhaps Catalunya greatest gifts to the world have been its artists, Joan Miró and Salvador Dali are both from this region, but today’s artists, the chefs of Catalunya, lead the world with their own inimitable styles and the rather exceptional cuisine, demonstrated originally by Ferran Adria of El Bulli fame and today perpetuated by the Roca brothers in Girona.

For the holidaymaker this is the Costa Brava, known throughout the world for its scenic beauty, aquamarine seas and golden sandy beaches. The most attractive area of the coast is the small area around Palafrugell which stretches from Pals and Begur in the north, south through Fornells, Aiguablava, Tamariu, Llafranc, to Calella de Palafrugell. This dramatic coastline abounds with beautiful bays, coves and headlands, with sandy beaches washed by sparkling seas, and interspersed by glistening white villages, each very different, the perfect locations for relaxing holidays.

Inland, the countryside is mainly agricultural with some wonderful timeless villages like Peratallada and Ullastret set against a distant backdrop of the ever present Pyrenees. Visit Pals, the walled medieval city; Bisbal famed for its production of ceramics; Torroella de Montgri with its Gothic palaces, courtyards and narrow streets nestling beneath the Castell de Montgri, and the spectacular gardens of Cap Roig. There are various markets to explore, vineyards to visit and slightly further away the Dali Museum in Figueres; whilst the vibrant city of Barcelona is less than 2 hours away.

For the more energetic there are no fewer than 5 golf courses nearby; you can play tennis; follow a number of planned walking and cycling itineraries; go scuba diving; enjoy all manner of water sports; hire a boat and explore the coast; or just relax soaking up the sun on one of the beautiful beaches for which the area is renowned.

The Tamariu area

Named after the tamarisk trees that surrounded its bays, Tamariu is a charming small resort with a crescent of golden sandy beach, which is set on a sparkling bay between majestic tree clad hillsides. It is popular with families, beach lovers and those seeking water sports, walkers, cyclists and divers, and is renowned for its excellent fish restaurants which are set on the promenade overlooking the beach and sea.

Holidays here are relaxed, lunches are long and the evenings are late but fairly quiet. The paseo is the prelude to the evening meal with longer walks along the coast for the more serious hiker, along the ancient Cami de Ronda exploring the beautiful scenery and the many coves.

There are many local festivals in the surrounding towns and villages – the main event being the Catalan Festa de St Joan on 23 and 24 June which is marked all over the region with bonfires and firework parties.
