A lovely oasis amongst the bustle of the costa brava

Can Pedra is a beautifully restored and renovated farmhouse close to numerous attractions within the heart of costa brava. It is brilliant to be so close to everything but so far removed at the same time. You really get the small spanish village feel when staying at Can Pedra, whilst you feel like a movie star within the holiday rentals gates. Every morning I awoke and let my nose follow the smell to the little woodfired artesan bakery a couple of hundred metres away. The 2 local restaurants were phenomenal. and within 100 metres walk. David and Jenny are the owners, renovators and builders of Can Pedra. They were always there if needed but invisible at all other times. They are a wealth of knowledge for the area and helped make our trip very special indeed. They are highly professional and our booking was extremely smooth. I got the feeling that they really wanted us to enjoy our stay there as much as they love living there. We travelled with 3 kids under 6 and they had everything neccessary to keep the kids occupied whilst my wife and I enjoyed the local fares. The pool is wonderful and comes fully stocked with all the pool toys that kids (or even a 30 something Dad) could want. The house is also fully decked out with every luxury you could need on holidays.... even sky TV in English! After the first day we felt we were at a home away from home. Well done to Jenny and David.
