Guest comments Lovely holiday in a great house. There were 10 of us and we all felt comfortable and had plenty of space. Begur is a great town and the choice of good food restaurants is amazing. The views were breathtaking. Excellent for the children who would not leave the pool although managed to bring them to some of the nearby beautiful beaches! Great holiday!!
