Interesting...
I booked this villa largely because I was looking for a premium property and this one appeared to be the best in the area. It was certainly the most expensive. A five day stay at a rather significant price turned out to be meh. Here's the breakdown: The good: The location is ideal. A five minute drive from both Aiguablava and Tamariu, it's really a special location. The view is stellar. If you have a large party, there is ample living space. The kitchen is reasonably well stocked with all sorts of dull knives and kitchen wares. The bad: The house is dirty. There's dust on everything The windows were filthy. Really filthy. The house should be cleaned. The house is overly dingy and beaten up. It feels like a house that was likely very cool and sexy in 2006 when it was new, but it's just dragging now. Floors are cracked, walls are cracked, paint is peeling. The house smells musty. The huge sliding doors seem cool, but there are mosquitoes that make the doors unable to be left open. There are also tons of flies. So the identifying feature of the house can't really be used. It's lame. We wanted to sleep with the windows open to hear the ocean but that's not possible here. As others have noted, the house is dangerous. One slip and you'll fall down the cliff. We don't drink, but I imagine a partying group would have a potential issue here. All in all, I wouldn't rent this house again.

Amazing Sea Views
This house is in a great location. Stunning views and sea breezes. Perfect for 2 of us. Negatives were that we Waited at house for over an hour to check in. Large doors slide open (no screens) and mosquitoes were an annoyance.

Stay at Casa Plateada
Beautiful property and location. Very well equipped house. A property like this should include a BBQ - answer was that it was fire hazard but all other houses around have one. They can also have an electric bbq. A/C did not work one night but property manager sent someone and fixed the problem the next day.

Stunning property, lacked some important attention to detail
First, the good news: 1. Silver House is beautiful! The views from virtually every room are breath-taking! It was a highlight of our trip to sit outside at different points of the day and see the sunrise or set, and even one night watch a storm making its way over the sea. The house was also very dramatically decorated in silver (of course!) and white which added to its 'luxury vacation' feeling. 2. Alejandro, who managed the property while we were there, was very responsive. There were a few issues that came up and he was helpful in resolving them. The not-so-good-news: 1. The house is pretty dangerous for children. There are sheer drops of the cliffs and seating areas outside. Everything is white and glass, and there are lots of sharp edges and hard stairs. We didn't pick up on this enough from the photos I guess. When we arrived with two 7 year old children, we realized we would be nervous all week that they didn't break something or hurt themselves. 2. There wasn't any sort of welcome book with notes about the house or town. We felt a little bit dropped in the middle of nowhere without a guide. I would have expected instructions on how to use appliances, where to find certain items, how to get to local beaches, recommended restaurants, etc. One night the power went off and we searched for 30 minutes for the fuse box before calling Alejandro to come over. Also there is a complicated shade system (so many windows!) with a few remote controls in each room that were not labeled or explained. 3.There was hardly a garbage bag or roll of toilet paper in the house and not enough linens for every guest. So, immediately upon getting there we had to head out. It would have been nice to have a few basics provided so that we could have settled in a little before going out. So, overall it is a great house in a fantastic location and we enjoyed our stay. However, it is not inexpensive and we were expecting a little bit more from the rental than we received.

Nous venons en Espagne depuis 35 ans et résidons dans ce genre de villa comme la vôtre, mais cette année l’accueil a été déplorable et inacceptable. Nettoyage mal fait et accueil lamentable. Changer de société ou de personnel !!!!

Très belle maison dans un cadre splendide
Très belle maison à la décoration magnifique. Très belle piscine avec vue imprenable sur la mer. Maison idéale pour des couples ou familles avec enfants adolescents ou adultes. Vue exceptionnelle sur la baie ; le village de Tamariu est tout à fait typique et authentique. Belles balades à faire à pied dans les environs. A notre point de vue, il manquait un barbecue électrique qui nous semble être indispensable en vacances, surtout à cet endroit où le temps au mois d'août est très beau. Car c'est aussi tout à fait dommage de devoir cuisiner à l'intérieur. Dommage aussi que sur 8 poêles une seule soit en bon état.
