Review Submitted: October 25, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
We have just returned from a wonderful holiday in Begur. Casa Mirador is a well maintained,stunning villa which is very well equipped with everything you need. Inside the villa is very spacious and there was plenty of room for our party of 4 adults and 3 children.The decor and furniture is modern and the villa was spotlessly clean for our arrival,the welcome basket was also a lovely touch.The heated pool was a huge bonus and our children had a great time in it. Begur itself is a stunning place with many beautiful beaches and plenty of places to eat out. A car is a must to fully explore the area. Begur itself is a quiet, laid back place which made our holiday very relaxing. There are many busy places up and down the coast within a 20 minute drive which were great to visit and then return to the peace and quiet of Begur. The villa owners were incredibly helpful and the information pack sent to us before we left included easy to follow directions from the airport and loads of information about places to visit. We cannot rate this villa and area highly enough, the only down side was that we had to come home.

Perfect Escape

kiwi mich London, UK
Review Submitted: October 6, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
The house worked perfectly for our group of 8 friends allowing everyone their own space but with living areas that were big enough for us all to socialise together. With an unobstructed view of the med dining on the balcony or beside the pool was a joy! Great local food, amazing coastal walks and plenty of sunshine made this a great week away. Totally recommend it to anyone looking to have some time away as this house offers you a haven as well as being close enough to the town and beach to get involved when you want to. We wouldn't hesitate in returning to house again (tomorrow if it was possible!). Christina & Roger as owners provided an amazing service going above and beyond with information about the local area adding their personal touch. Their obvious love and enthusiasm for the property certainly comes through and we all understand why now

We found Casa Mirador beautiful and sunny with a great view to the sea, comfortable and well prepared to receive guests. The whole family loved the house from the very beginning and we had a great time. We hope we can come back next year!

Fantastic Stay in Begur

Relaxed and Contented Carrickfergus Northern Ireland
Review Submitted: July 17, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
We had a really wonderful time staying at this villa. The house is lovely and very well equipped right down to the garlic press and salad spinner!!! We cooked in a few nights so it was great to have big pots and pans. Our first reaction was that the pictures on the website don't do justice to the house or the view. It was also very nice to have a welcome pack with a few things to get us started. We would definitely recommend the house to anyone especially a large group of friends or family as the layout of the house means two families can have their own space. The surrounding area is beautiful with lots of lovely bays to explore and snorkle in. The town of Begur is very close and is very quaint.

Perfect family holiday villa

Sass and Rich Near Welshpool, Powys, Wales UK
Review Submitted: June 30, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
Casa Mirador is a lovely light and spacious villa, with sea views from every room looking out at the prettiest coast on the Costa Brava. The house has pleasant, comfortable furniture and an excellent layout and facilities, especially for two families sharing or a large family with different age-groups, offering two separate living rooms, tellies etc.

There were 11 of us, 4 couples and 3 children, and the house never felt crowded. We ate outside every day, mostly on the balcony, looking out to sea, or beside the pool which is private and surrounded by garden and the house itself.

During our fortnight's stay the house, garden and pool were very well-maintained, and a minor problem with the pool was attended to within hours. Two cots were provided at our request, which was very helpful.

The house is within walking distance of Sa Riera beach and the delightful small town of Begur, although we mostly took cars with us because we had three small children. The information in the house has very good advice on restaurants, places of interest, market days, and parking.

Our little ones loved horse-riding in the pine woods (just down the road from Casa Mirador) and the glass-bottomed boat trip from L'Estartit, while the adults particularly enjoyed Cap Roig gardens (fabulous views and cactuses), the Dali Museum at Figueres and the ruins and excellent small museum at Empuries. The medieval walled villages of Peratallada and Pals are beautiful also and good for small children because they're pedestrian only.

The bars and restaurants at Sa Riera, Sa Tuna and Begur were great. La Pizzetta in Begur is perfect for children and Mas Pou is good for a posher dinner.

We have no hesitation in recommending this house to anyone wanting a family holiday with lots to do and a tranquil, well-designed house and pool to relax in.

Very well appointed villa with superb views and in an excellent location for touring the many small and picturesque coves along this section of the Costa Brava. Upper floor and balcony is ideal for a toddler to explore without risk. Excellent pool and plenty of activities, even if you are unlucky with the weather. Local agent is also very friendly and helpful. We will return!

Great House, great location with spectacular views

Review Submitted: May 17, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
The house met all our expectations from what was represented at the website. It is very spacious and well-equipped. Beds were comfortable, plenty of closet space in every bedroom (with hangers, hooray!), plenty extra blankets. Bathrooms with good showers.

There's nothing like having your breakfast out on the large balcony overlooking the Med! The town of Begur is conventiently close enough for shopping for your basic groceries, there are also several fine restaurants in the town and surrounding area. The location is ideal for day trips to the many beaches, most of them only a 10 minute drive away.

We had to tear ourselves away and hope to stay there again in the future.

A real holiday!

Ellen & Co Maastricht
Review Submitted: May 12, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
We loved being in your house. It is beautiful and very comfortable with a splendid view and lots of privacy. The consequent furnishing in white and blue gives a mediterranean feeling. The beds are super, we all slept very well. The kids loved the playstation and all the board games they found in the closet. But most of all they loved the pool. The water in the pool was at a very fine temperature! Our kids and my husband love to swim but the weather at the end of April is not alway reliable so a heated pool was one of our demands. We had a wonderfull week in your house and I want to thank you for that. We did also appreciate a lot the extensive welcome packet you send us by post and the touristic information that is available in the house. Same for the 'survival packet' that welcomes you on arrival. Vacation really does start with those little things!

Our First Visit to Casa Mirador

La Boheme United Kingdom
Review Submitted: April 21, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
In early April, during the school Easter holidays, our extended family decided to rent a villa in Catalonia for our first visit to Spain. This villa was Casa Mirador near the ancient hill town of Begur. We couldn’t have chosen better. One look at the view from any of the windows showed a panorama of blue and green—sky, the Mediterranean, and those rounded pine trees you find in that climate.
There were eight of us, and using all of the five bedrooms, we were able to accommodate our doubles & singles which we required. There were 3 bathrooms, again necessary for large mixed groups. The house was huge, with plenty of space to spread out and have a quiet time if you wanted. We enjoyed the music system, with a large choice of cds, and books to read. Games and toys in the lower living room provided hours of fun for our 4 year old grandson. The kitchen was roomy enough and certainly well equipped. The balcony overlooking the pool was used daily, and although it was early in the year, the younger members in the group took a dip. They also played table tennis in the garage.
We managed to squeeze in a lot of sightseeing between us, including: Girona, Barcelona, 3 beaches, 2 other old hill towns (Pals & Peratellada), and several trips to La Bisbal to buy pottery. Even without the car, it’s a lovely area for walking, also, shopping and the park in Begur is within reach. An experience I am assured not to be missed (we baby-sat), was the late evening fiesta on Maundy Thursday in nearby Verges of the Festival of the Dead, attracting over a thousand visitors.
We definitely will return to Casa Mirador—a place to relax and enjoy living!
