Casa Mirador is a stunning property with an equally amazing view to match. It is especially well located for the nearby Sa Riera which is one of the nicest beaches on the coast and the upmarket old town of Begur. Above all, the ready advice and help of the owners was second to none. M Sproat, September 2008
This is a lovely villa in a lovely location, with a fantastic view of sea and close to some lovely beaches and towns. We really enjoyed our time there . K Alvarez, July 2008
We really enjoyed staying at your villa, it was very relaxing. Again very many thanks. I wish you the best of good luck with your beautiful villa. P Robinson, July 2008
The villa was exactly as described and very comfortable for a large group with plenty of comfortable seating in the lounge, large dining table and an extremely well equipped kitchen. Having heating in the pool was a huge bonus as the sun is quite low in the sky at the end of the summer. The views from the terrace are fantastic and a great setting for an alfresco breakfast. It was nice to be close enough to walk into Begur for an evening drink in the square. All in all I would not hesitate to recommend this villa for a party of up to 10 people. A Warren, October 2008
We had a great time. The house is beautiful and the views amazing! R Cortez, October 2008
We enjoyed our stay, everything was fantastic! We would go back to Casa Mirador anytime believe me! It was everything we’ve imagined and more! C Hebert, June 2008
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.
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 younger members in the group took a dip and 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.S Webb April 2009
We loved being in your house. It is beautiful and very comfortable with a splendid view. 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! E Schmetz, April 2009
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! – Ron Owen, May 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. Sass and Rich, Wales, May 2009
Nous sommes partis à 3 familles, et cette maison nous a permis de passer d'excellentes vacances. La vue des terrasses est sublime (parfait pour les petits déjeuners ou les diners), l'endroit est très calme. La maison est très facile à vivre sur 2 etages. Cela fait 2 ans qu'on va à Begur, et là, on a trouvé la maison idéale pour passer de très bonnes vacances! Merci Christina! Coralie, Nimes, France, August 2010
We have been twice it is a lovely place to stay. ALL the familly enjoyed our sea view is tremendous, large swimming pool,accomodation nicely decorated and spacious ,music and two Televisions. Plenty of crockery and cutlery. Good location for different beaches also places to visit. Nice owners! Derrick, Yoks, August 2010
It was not easy to find a villa that seemed to tick all the boxes for our family group of ten people ranging in age from 10 to 64, but Casa Mirador was certainly an inspired choice. We already knew the area slightly but nothing prepared us for the fabulous views and generous accommodation that the villa provides. The very well-stocked kitchen makes catering easy, and having three bathrooms means nobody has to wait too long. With lots of different seating and relaxing corners to choose from, inside and out, - not to mention the ping pong table and swiming pool - there really is little need to venture beyond the garden gate. But of course you do, with plenty of places to choose from! The go karts were very popular with some but I think my favourite place is Pals with its winding streets, inviting shops and amazing views from the top of the hill.
Added to the good levels of maintenance of villa itself, the excellent service provided by the owner from the very first contact greatly enhanced the holiday for us. She really seems to want her guests to have a first class experience and goes out of her way to ensure this happens. Sarah, Manchester, July 2010
We spent a week in April at this villa . My husband and I have known the area around Begur for 15 years and come here twice a year out of season . This is definitely the best accommodation we've found yet for a large group .The view from every bedroom, and every seating area both inside and outside is a huge plus. The large, heated swimming pool is what swung us when we looked around at other villas in the area and it was absolutely perfect. Even the pool has a view to die for. Sandie, SW Fance, April 2010.
