Spectacular location
We LOVED this property. Two middle-aged couples spent the week relaxing on the terrace, visiting Medieval cities or Roman ruins, and walking the Cami de Ronda. The location was the absolute best - relaxing city that is not too small nor too big, right by the Cami de Ronda for beautiful walks, and incredible terrace to enjoy the view. The host was fantastic with following up with us. I highly recommend this house! The rooms, kitchen, and bathrooms were large and comfortable. We made many lunches and dinners in the kitchen to enjoy on the terrace. If you want to go to Costa Brava, choose this location.

Fabulous in every respect
Great host, and a wonderfully secluded property. Have been to Llafranc for 15 years and this was easily my best stay due to marvelous Villa Esmeralda. Hope I can come back some day!

Très belle villa, vue exceptionnelle
Vue et emplacement exceptionnels, en première ligne face à la mer, 10 min à pied du centre du village de Llafranc.
Très propre et fonctionnelle.
Notre Hôte Catherine nous a bien accueilli, très disponible pour répondre à nos demande et nous conseiller sur ce qu'il y a à voir et les restaurants aux alentours.
Merci pour ce séjour très agréable et reposant.

Viva Esmeralda
Esmeralda, villa juchée sur son promontoire face à cette Méditerranée dont les flots se parent d’émeraude et dont l’accueil est propice aux rêves d’Odyssée.
C’est dans cette demeure en espaliers, sur l’une des nombreuses terrasses ou dans sa fabuleuse piscine, que nous sommes venus nous ressourcer. Esmeralda est bien une pierre devenue rare, de celle que l’on se transmet, dont les propriétaires vous conteront son histoire. Propriétaires charmants prompts à vous partager les bonnes adresses. Esmeralda, un charme fou dont nous aurons plaisir à revoir. A bientôt belle émeraude.

Llafranc family house
Great location, fantastic view, good size property for 6 adults and two young children.
Plenty of outside area to chill and drink/ eat.
15 mins from the beach and centre Llafranc
Only negatives were mosquitoes and the location for the rubbish disposal

Amazing Location
This traditional villa built 55 years ago is in an amazing location with fabulous outside terraces. The house is a feat of engineering and is obviously much loved by the owners. It is a tribute to them to have kept the villa for 6 generations.
The villa is semidetached with the owner living in the other half of the villa and sharing the access, garaging and pool. There is only garaging for 1 car within the property, any other car has to be parked outside.
The living space is very good with immediate access to one of the 3 terraces. The 3 main bedrooms are spacious but would not suit very well if the party was composed of 4 couples. I believe that it is normal practice if the bedroom can be a twin or a double that for a couple the bed should be made up as a double and not with 2 sets of single sheets. The bedroom we stayed in, the double with the single beds put together, had no mirror.
I wish we had asked about additional housekeeping. There was no information when we arrived about this as an option. I would have gladly paid for 2 hours of housekeeping per day. The only cleaning was of the pool twice per week and of the outside terraces once whilst we were there. I would expect if staying for 2 weeks that the linen would be changed on the beds after a week and I would expect linen of a local hotel standard. We have stayed in the past in several of the local hotels.
The villa has excellent electronic shutters and there is detailed advice regarding using the shutters to keep the villa cool. I am not sure in high season how effective this would be without ceiling fans or air conditioning. There are small electric fans available in the house.
There is WiFi but it is very limited and makes life very difficult if you have to stay connected to your own business, which unfortunately was the case for one of my sons. We are happy to choose to escape social media, but business availability is often part of modern life.
We had a very good stay in an area that we know well and love.
We wish Catherine and her family many more years of enjoying their family home.

Relaxing family holiday
A lovely place for a 3 generation family stay. Probably the best villa we've stayed in. Lots of basics provided, pool great, views outstanding and very understated support from Catherine next door. 10 mins walk to the beach and similar to the lighthouse. We visited for a week, having visited the area on and off for 37 years. We walked our favourite walk to north along the coast and visited our favourite botanical gardens, but most of all we enjoyed relaxing with our daughters family - on the beach or on one of the villa terraces.

Lovely Villa
My wife and I stayed here with 4 grown up kids. In a great position, 10 minute walk into LaFranc, with lots of restaurants. Been in the same family for years and feels like a home rather than a characterless rental. Loads of outdoor space with three private terraces and although the owner shares the pool we hardly saw her.

Magnifique maison, vues extraordinaires
Position privilégiée avec une vue extraordinaire sur la mer. Accès direct à la mer sur les rochers, piscine splendide, calme, terrasse ombragée pour déjeuner. Bon équipement. Bon accueil.
Les points à surmonter pour profiter pleinement: beaucoup d'escaliers, distance pour plage de sable et centre de Llafranç (commerces) ~ 1 km avec beaucoup de dénivelé.
La maison est mitoyenne et la piscine est partagée, mais pas de soucis, grande discretion et utilisation très parcimonieuse de la piscine par le propriétaire.

Idyllic views of the Mediterranean with lovely beach a short walk away
The marvellous unobstructed views of the Mediterranean make the stay at Villa Esmeralda quite wonderful. Truly unique. Llafranc has a lovely sandy cove beach with numerous outside dining options. The newly installed boardwalk just adds to the small town charm. There is a lovely rock outcrop near the house from which the kids loved to jump into the sea. Just bring waterproof sandals or watersocks. Catherine who lives next door ensured a tranquil stay and no impact from her family with the shared pool. It really did feel likely nobody next door. Catherine has ensured the house has all the amenities one could use during a stay. We do recommend the 2 hour boat tour of the local coves which may inspire renting a small boat to explore later on during the week. Multiple years of renting houses in Spain, but Villa Esmeralda has risen to the top of our list. We shall endeavor to return next year.
