We all want different things from a holiday...
...so a review is difficult to write. We were a family of five adults looking for some relaxation, but also sightseeing in our week. We were happy to cook at home or eat out.
The way to the villa is 3km of not the best back-roads, but we always seem to pick a villa like this! The only downside of this is that you cannot easily walk into the town for an evening meal or a pint of milk.
The villa itself is semi-detached, but next door only turned up for one night. The two houses are pretty much in splendid isolation, and although the main road is only 600 metres away, it is not too busy and there was not much noise. The little beach is accessible by walking through large storm drains under the road and railway. The pool in not over large - the website photos are a little deceptive - but was certainly big enough for us to enjoy ourselves on our lilos.
The villa provided plenty of sleeping areas and had all the equipment we needed. Most importantly, it was clean.
It is not overlooked.
We enjoyed our days out in Barcelona - 90 minutes away, although the road tolls on the motorway were about 40€ there and back (2016)
Tarragona is a nice city too. The Natural Park of Ebre makes for a very different change of scenery.
L'Ametlla provides a good supermarket just out of town, and a nice little port area with plenty of eating places.
It is not very touristy, and very few English were there. We like this, as it means we are seeing something that is more typically Spanish.
David was very helpful when called upon for a couple of minor things.
Overall, we had a great week in a nice clean villa, helped by an almost cloudless sky!
Thank you David
