This was our best family vacation by far and mainly to the credit of Françoise’s lovely apartment. From the point of booking to checking out, Françoise was a dream. She went above and beyond host responsibilities. In fact, when we departed she felt more like our sweet mom than a host. The apartment is located conveniently in Blanes, Costa Brava, making daily trips to surrounding beach towns easy and accessible. We visited over 5 beach towns in 1 week and in the end consider Blanes our favorite. The town didn’t feel overly touristy and is filled with little gems for dining & shopping. The apartment was more than sufficient for a family of 5 and 1 guest. The kitchen was well equipped for the meals we prepared and the laundry was ideal to accommodate daily clothes washing. Bonus: this permitted us to travel with carry-ons only!! Françoise was an amazing communicator answering all our inquiries and providing helpful recommendations. Even better, she found a babysitter for us which we used most of the week. She shared her games for the children, provided beach towels and some toys, extra linens, a few items for the pantry, a robust supply of cleaning items and homemade Sangria upon arrival. This was the best Sangria we had in Spain. There are two lovely patios perfect for watching the sun rise and sun set. A large dining table for us to have family meals, 2 perfect bathrooms (one with a tub) and a modern television with Netflix. It’s hard to fully articulate how wonderful our stay was - all our expectations were exceeded and we are truly grateful!! Will be back for sure!!
