“A home away from home. The house is incredible, spacious, beautifully furnished and attentive to every detail. Lovely garden with pool, perfect for families with pets. If you like a traditional country house close to the beach (10 minutes away) with the comforts of air conditioning, a pool and a barbecue, look no further. We had a fantastic stay and would return without hesitation. Smooth, excellent communication with the host, with advice on authentic local spots and good restaurants off the tourist guides.”

“We enjoyed a fantastic week in a beautiful house, cared for down to the last detail and perfectly equipped. An ideal place to disconnect and enjoy the Empordà. The pool, the garden and the porch are spectacular. The air-conditioned house was spotless and immaculately clean. Xavier was available at all times for any question. A 10 out of 10 experience. We will definitely come back.”

House Rules

A calm, respectful stay for everyone

These simple rules help us preserve the house, its garden and the peaceful village of Riumors — so every guest can enjoy the same care we put into welcoming you.

Group parties, events and celebrations are not allowed.

01

General use of the home

  • Keep doors and windows closed during summer to prevent flies — the house has mosquito screens and air conditioning.
  • Keep the door curtains in place: they help reduce insects indoors.
  • Turn off the garden lights before going to sleep (by 02:00).
  • Please do not move furniture between rooms without prior authorisation.
  • Smoking is strictly forbidden in the bedrooms; please smoke in moderation elsewhere.
02Pet friendly: pets welcome

Neighbours, environment & pets

  • Respect neighbours' rest from 21:00 — no loud music or shouting.
  • The village is rural: enjoy the quiet, and please leave the surroundings as you found them.
  • Pets are only allowed with prior approval. They must not get on beds or sofas, or enter the pool, and the house towels may not be used to dry them.
  • Pets may not be left alone in the house, either indoors or in the garden. They must always be accompanied.
  • Well-behaved, trained pets in good health, with up-to-date vaccination records, are welcome. Their owners are responsible for any damage and additional cleaning costs. An extra deposit of €300 is required and refunded at check-out.
03

Pool

  • Adult guests are responsible for the use of the pool; children must always be supervised.
  • No running, pushing or dangerous jumping.
  • Plastic drinkware is provided — no glass, bottles or plates near the pool.
  • Close the parasol in strong wind and when not in use.
04

Barbecue & laundry

  • You are welcome to use the barbecue, but it must be thoroughly cleaned before departure (otherwise a €100 cleaning fee applies).
  • Dry beach and pool towels on the clothesline by the barbecue hut.
  • If you use the washing machine or dryer, please replace the detergent you use.
05

Security

  • Lock all doors, windows and external entrances when you leave the house.
  • Do not tamper with electrical panels, boilers, pool equipment or other technical installations.
  • Do not light candles or braziers indoors.
  • In case of any breakdown or leak, please call the owner: +34 686 972 517.
06

Cleaning, waste & care

  • The house will be clean and fully equipped on arrival — please leave it reasonably tidy when you depart.
  • Take your rubbish to the recycling bins at the end of Carrer Nou each day; turn left when you reach the end of the street.
  • Do not flush wipes, sanitary products, oils or food remains — use the bins.
  • Report any damage or breakage to the owner as soon as possible.

Booking the house implies acceptance of these rules. Thank you for helping us care for the property and its neighbours.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

How deep is the pool?

1.2 metres, which makes it suitable for children.

What is the difference between booking through this website or WhatsApp and booking on a holiday rental platform?

Booking here (WhatsApp, phone or the contact email) means dealing directly with the owners, so communication is quicker and easier, and you can get answers to all your questions about renting the house. In addition, the price works in your favour, as there are no intermediary fees.

What is the typical guest profile?

A family of up to 8 adults, or up to 10 if there are children; two families who want to spend a few days on holiday together, with or without their children; or a group of up to 8 friends looking for a few days of relaxation, hiking, cycling, skydiving or any water sport (kitesurfing, surfing, canoeing, sailing, motorboating, scuba diving, etc.) and with no intention of holding parties in the house. In short, any group of people who want to switch off from the daily rush for a few days and enjoy an extraordinary experience of relaxation with their own people.

Can I visit Barcelona from the house?

Barcelona is 1 hour 30 minutes away by car, so you can visit the city and return late in the day. Another option is the high-speed train from Figueres: a 45-minute journey that takes you to the centre of Barcelona.

What are the local beaches like and how far are they?

The beaches have semi-fine sand and full services (lifeguards, bars, etc.) and are 7 km away, about 15 minutes by car (La Rubina, Sant Pere Pescador, etc.). Beyond Roses you will find beautiful coves such as La Almadrava and Pelosa, and further on Montjoi (40 minutes) and Joncols (50 minutes) — exclusive spots on the Costa Brava.

Beach and cove guide →
Can more than 8 people stay?

The house is designed for 8 guests. If you are travelling with children, two extra beds can be added in the double bedrooms; for example, two couples with three children each, with each couple keeping their own private bathroom. We do not recommend the house for groups of more than 8 adults, as too many people would have to share a bathroom.

What kind of coffee machine and appliances are there?

There are two Nespresso-style coffee machines with complimentary capsules. The kitchen also has a kettle, juicer, hand blender, mixer, microwave, ice crusher and toaster.

Are check-in and check-out times strict?

No. We only need to allow 5 hours for cleaning when one group departs and another arrives on the same day. Otherwise, arrival and departure times are flexible.

Why is an "extra" deposit required for pets?

Pets may not get on sofas or beds, nor swim in the pool. The extra deposit covers cases where pet hair is found on sofas and beds, as washing the sofa covers and repairing any other damage involves an additional cost.

How are the keys handed over?

The owner hands over the keys in person, taking the opportunity to explain how the house works and to meet you.
