The villa was spacious, well equipped and it was lovely sitting out on the upper terrace to eat. It also had a great size pool and garden. It was only a 10 minute walk into Calonge so easy access to the spar supermarket and a few local restaurants. I'd strongly recommend hiring a car though to get to various local beaches (we particularly liked Playa El Castell) and explore the local area. We did lots of activities available locally such as kayaking trips, bike hire, etc and we also had a great day at the nearby water park. Joan was there when we arrived to show us around, and was also quick to sort out the internet when that stopped working during our stay. However, although we had a fantastic holiday and the villa was pretty much perfect for our needs, there were a few things that could have been improved. The pool was a bit cloudy when we arrived and this suddenly got much worse in the last 2 days of our stay - we should probably have mentioned it earlier but assumed it was normal as the pool cleaners came twice a week and didn't seem concerned. Secondly, given the price of the villa I'd have expected a cleaner to come once a week, but this wasn't the case. Finally, it would have been nice if the beds had been set up as doubles (as advertised) rather than left as 2 single beds because the room was only being occupied by one person, and if the beds had been made up before our arrival rather than us having to make them. In the case of the double rooms occupied by 1 person, we were only provided with bedding for one of the singles. I appreciate they weren't sure of our preferred sleeping arrangements but they could have easily checked this in advance. But those relatively minor niggles aside, it's a great villa with a lovely big pool and I'd definitely recommend it. Thank you!

Dear family Murray . I’m glad that you had an overall positive experience staying with us. We’ve had a word with the pool cleaner in charge and told him to be more alert to conditions like you experienced. I’m sorry about this. Concerning beds and weekly cleaning you will find the bedrooms as they are explained in the advertisement…one with two single beds. The only cleaning mentioned is the final cleaning. And sorry for this late reply..I noticed it when going through the website. Best regards
The villa is as described - 4 bedroom (with comfy beds!!!), 2 bathrooms (with decent showers), very well equipped (even had a sarny toaster), airy, home from home, with beautiful views over Calonge and to the sea. The large pool was set in a mature garden, with fruit and olive trees. Its a great location for exploring the Costa Brava and only 30 minutes from Girona airport. All correspondence with Ann (the owner) and Joan (the property manager) was detailed, timely and friendly. We were a party of 6, four adults and two teenagers - spread across 3 generations for which we all enjoyed a fabulous holiday at Casa Jara. We hope to return at some stage to continue our adventure along the costa brava! Thank-you for sharing your beautiful home Ann and Arne.

Thank you Clare for your kind words. We enjoy sharing our holiday home with people who see the same splendors the area Costa Brava has. Welcome back!!! Ann
On arrival we were disappointed by the condition of the water in the swimming pool but within a day or two the problem was solved and we then could enjoy this gorgeous pool. The location and house itself has many of the ingredients for a lovely Summer house. The living area and the balcony was our favourite space ,as the view is lovely. All in all it is an enchanting and thoroughly comfortable house.
