Very good

Het huis heeft wat tlc nodig maar in grote lijnen is het een heel fijn en mooi huis! We hebben genoten van het zwembad en de terrassen. De communicatie met de beheerder verliep excellent! Zo een uitstekende gastheer!!
Jardin hyper agréable organisé autour de la piscine avec deux terrasses ombragées, une partie au soleil avec les transats. Maison propre et agréable avec une salle de bain par chambre, tout confort, rien à redire. A part la clim très forte et pas facile à régler mais c’est un petit détail ! Je recommande fortement

Great pool maintained while we were there, so great standard of cleanliness.
Air conditioning was a god send.
Great size for 8 people. Loved the out door dining.
Down side had to drive to get anywhere lively, and eating out mostly started at 8pm.

Dear Fraser,
Thank you so much for taking the time to write your review. We are so pleased you had an excellent holiday and enjoyed your villa.
Here is Catalunya, people normally eat from 21-22h onwards, so many restaurants open a little later than they do in the UK. Having said that there are a number of Restaurants nearby which serve Tapas all day.
Thank you again, we look forward to welcoming you back in the future.
Kind regards

Dear Zusana,
Thank you for taking the time to write your review. It was a pleasure to welcome you to the Villa Tranquila, which as you say is a very charming villa. We feel you would have had a more enjoyable holiday had you taken advantage of all the area has to offer, Including; fabulous local beaches, water sports, the Tuna Tour where you have chance to swim with the Tuna, a beautiful sailing boat excursion during the day, and in the evening for a sunset sail with a meal and music, eco-tourism at the Ebro Delta. Not to mention the fabulous traditional fishing villages, stunning mountain villages, Reus, Tarragona, Portaventura and waterparks, only 25mins drive away. Plus of course the fabulous city of Barcelona which is only a train ride away.
We look forward to welcoming you back and would like to offer you a 10% discount for your 2020 holiday if you book with us before the end of September, allowing us to prove our villas and service are worthy of a 5 star review!
Many thanks again

Disappointing
Previous reviews were glowing, so very disappointed.... Bed configuration on booking was 2 queen beds, 1 double and 2 singles but the queen beds were doubles. Beds linen is polyester (very cheap quality) and hot. Air conditioning is not satisfactory for cooling upstairs bedrooms. Fly screen in one upstairs room had large hole so mosquitoes got in when window left open. One upstairs bedroom had small balcony and door - nice but you can't leave door open at night due to mosquitoes (and when windy) so room is stuffy.
While there are 3 bathrooms the best is downstairs - upstairs shared toilet is very very tiny and main bedroom shower needs to be hand held.
Downstairs living area is nice but a bit dark. Some board games would have been a nice touch, as would have hand soap and hand towel in downstairs toilet. Surprisingly only extras provided were salt, sugar, a bit of vinegar and some washing liquid. We happily left for next guests (hopefully not removed on cleaning) extra toilet paper, oil, tea, coffee, pepper and a few other items.
On the positive, we were most appreciative of the gift package provided by the rental company, especially as we arrived on Sunday (check-in at 4pm and not before) when local shops close at 2pm.
Kitchen is nice - thought took a while to get the cooktop to work (some instructions would be useful). Unfortunately there was a bad fishy smell in fridge when we arrived, which took a bit of cleaning to remove.
Pool is well maintained and outside area is great. Walking distance to beach was indicated as 15 minutes... Closer to 30 as we never found the walking track- recommend driving to beach for personal safety.
Unfortunately wouldn't recommend thus property for a group of adults. Price point is high for quality and features.

Dear future guests,
Just to reassure you, all previous guests, and guests since these guests who experienced the highly publicised heatwave, have been extremely happy and complimentary of the villa, the coolness of the villa with use of the air-conditioning and the high quality furniture and fittings.
The villa is a 15minute walk from the beach, the beach access is directly under the 2nd tunnel where there is a well indicated path on to the beach. The Red Cross also use this beach entry and exit, so it is without a doubt wide enough for guests to walk directly on to the beach.
Our welcome pack provided on the arrival day, includes tea, coffee, milk, sugar, a large bottle of water, a small bottle of locally produced olive oil and a bottle of Cava. Additionally we provide a starter cleaning pack which contains hand soap, washing up liquid, a dishwasher and washing machine tablet, a washing up sponge, cleaning cloth and bin bag. All bathrooms are provided with a minimum of 1 toilet roll each, and toilet roll, cleaning products etc are left from previous guests. For hygiene reasons we do not leave unopened food items from previous guests.
Previous guests and guest since this stay who stayed through the highly publicised heat wave were very complimentary of the air-conditioning cooling the whole villa.
The bedding we provide is the same as that we use in our own home and is extremely comfortable.
Kind regards
Sara

Very clean, good location, great beach
Villa Tranquila was a delight, it was just as described and photographed. The garden was completely private and the swimming pool was lovely. We were their with our son and grandchildren. The was plenty of space for all of us. We enjoyed the chairs and sunloungers in the garden. The furnishings were good quality, the showers in the bedrooms fabulous, it meant we were all able to have a private “bathrooms”. We loved the local area and would definitely recommend the villa for people looking for a quiet family holiday, easy walking distance to the beautiful beach called Calaforn, where we sat late into the evening enjoying drinks at the beach bar. And the area we would also recommend for people who would like to see the traditional Spain, whilst having Portaventura, Ferrari land and waterparks closeby. You will need to hire a car to make the most of your holiday.

Dear Guests,
Thank you for taking the time to write your review, we are pleased you loved the villa. I am sorry if you did not understand the map the map we gave you showing the walking entrance, and our instructions on getting to the beach. I think you must have walked all the way to the car park and then down to the beach, whereas if you continue straight on passed after the tunnel this takes you straight onto the beach. I have actually walked it myself and it is only 15 minutes walk on to the sand.

Prachtige sfeervolle villa
Mooi en sfeervol ingericht. Alles is aanwezig. Heerlijk zwembad geschikt voor groot en klein. Ligging wel wat afgelegen van het wat slaperige dorpje l'ametlla.
