We would most definitely recommend Maremar, set in the most stunning scenery and views. Peter and Lucy have been amazing hosts from start to finish. We all really enjoyed our stay, and would definitely return at some point.

Firstly, let me start by making my only critical comment - the photos of the property do not do it justice. It is larger, more spacious, well inventoried and well furnished than comes across in the pics. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Peter and Lucy we incredibly helpful whenever we reached out to them. Carmen the housekeeper was also lovely. The pool was great and we had it to ourselves most of the time - there was one day where there were 4 others using it but given the size of the pool and surrounds it still felt as though we had it to ourselves. It helps to have a car but it is not essential - it takes about 10-15 minutes to walk down through the forest to the town (did not try it by road) and a taxi fare back is about €12-15. We have added to our favourites and if we are back in the area will be looking to rebook.

It was an entirely positive experience. Peter and Lucy were very communicative and very accommodating when covid messed up our first and second dates! Carmen who looks after the villa is really good and helpful , in spite of not having a common language, we managed well. The villa is lovely, the view sublime and sea breeze refreshing. Great kitchen with everything you could need, comfortable beds and good linens. We had thought the walk into town would be ok but it was very hot so we took the car instead. Sant Feliu is a delightful town and it doesn’t feel touristy, there are some great restaurants too. We had a fantastic holiday and would really like to return one day. Thank you !

We absolutely loved this beautiful home in Sant Feliu De Guixols. Lots of room beautiful views lovely and quiet. The gift baskets was so lovely and greatly appreciated as we arrived late in the evening and we hadn't had dinner so we were happy to be able to have a snack and settle in for the night. The house is really well equipped with everything you need and more. I hope to be able to return one day with more family members. Thank you so much for a great experience.

A well appointed villa with great views. There are great walks and good resurants in nearby San Feliu. We will definately return.

Our stay was outstanding. The location perfect. Our hosts so helpful. We found every aspect of the experience positive - booking, directions, welcome package, comfort, helpful suggestions. Highly recommended!

Very comfortable and homely property. A very welcoming introduction to the property on arrival. Owners very responsive and accessible. Property in a quiet location with fabulous views, handily placed for centre of Sant Fileu.

We had a great week staying at Peter and Lucy's house in early September. The house is large, extremely well equipped and tastefully decorated and furnished. Peter and Lucy were great owners; very prompt in replying to emails and texts, and the check-in process was very easy. The additional information on the website and by email was very helpful. We used the beautiful pool most days to swim. It is a large pool, big enough to do lengths, and was usually empty, or just one family there. The walk into town is an easy 15 minutes downhill, but a bit longer back up the hill. We had a car, and in the first week of September had no difficulty parking in town when we wanted to. The Costa Brava was beautiful and it was easy to reach some lovely beaches and great costal walks. The walk from Sant Pol beach to Sa Conca was stunning, and both beaches are great for food and swimming. Overall a great holiday and a perfect holiday home.

The villa is much better than the photos - they simply don't do it justice. Six of us stayed for the week and it has everything you could want, The view from the terrace is beautiful and as it faces the sea there is a welcome breeze. Peter and Lucy are tremendous hosts and provided lots of relevant information for places to visit in the area. They were also available constantly to help with any queries able helped by their wonderful housekeeper Carmen. We had a great time on holiday and would recommend this to anyone.

From the very first communications with Peter and Lucy, we were wonderfully taken care of in our approach to and enjoyment of Sant Feliu and the house. The house is at the end of a block and has an uninterrupted view of the sea-- and a climb down to swimmable rocky shore. The community pool was easily accessed and a lovely oasis from the local beaches. Everything we asked about-- swim lanes, local events, places to eat--Peter and Lucy responded with enthusiasm and loads of information. These are truly hosts who are invested in their home and want their guests to get the most out of their lovely space and the surrounding town and culture. This was on the higher end of places we have stayed-- but worth the extra money and really comfortable for two families with young adult children. With the help of Carmen, their on-site agent, the arrival and departure couldn't have been easier. We look forward to returning-- the town suited us perfectly as it offered lots of activities and a strong local vibe that has not been overrun by tourists. The extraordinary beauty of the Costa Brava was all around us in the beautiful home of Peter and Lucy. Great puzzles as well! And kitchen-- with starter basket and all the basics made it easy for us to do meals when we were taking a break from the wonderful local restaurants. Many thanks Peter and Lucy-- we look forward to returning!

Excellent property in a beautiful location. A car is essential for elderly and very young.

Firstly the property is in a lovely quiet location with stunning views over the med. A beautiful swimming pool is a mere 30 seconds away and is set in landscaped gardens. We went at the end of season so had it to ourselves and it was still plenty warm enough for a swim. The villa itself is equipped to a very high standard with literally everything you might need. The layout worked perfectly and the rooms were all good sizes and tastefully decorated.(The master bedroom is awesome with its en suite and balconies with gorgeous views to the front) The beds themselves were very comfortable and with the addition of air con throughout the villa it made for an excellent night's sleep. We really enjoyed having a barbecue on the patio overlooking the sea. The local supermarkets are fantastic and if you like fish you will love it even more. (I particularly loved buying fresh huge prawns by the kilo for the barbecue) The owners were incredibly helpful, from us initially expressing an interest right through to us leaving to come home. We had a local power cut one evening and Peter rang the local electric company on our behalf and even offered alternative accommodation nearby. (Luckily it only lasted 90 minutes). Also despite arriving after midnight the owners had arranged for a local lady called Carmen to meet us and show us the basics, alarm etc. She also provided a welcome pack which was very much appreciated too. We would recommend a car if you're staying. Sant Feliu de Guixols itself is a traditional Catalan market town. It has many excellent restaurants, coffee shops and patisseries all a very short distance from the beach. We would recommend a trip to Sant Pol which is the next beach along. We caught the tourist train for 3 euros rather than walk it. The beach is lovely there has very soft sand and we can highly recommend the Maria Rosa restaurant on the front !!! As you can see by the other reviews Maremar is first class accommodation and you will not be disappointed. We hope to return in the future.

This was the second year running we stayed at Maremar so that tells you how much we enjoyed it the first time!! Staying at Peter & Lucy's villa is just a wonderful experience from start to finish. Peter & Lucy are an absolute delight to deal with, nothing is too much trouble for them. Our silly questions were answered immediately and they spent an awful lot of time and effort supplying information for the more difficult ones. Our daughter had her birthday the day after we arrived and yet again Peter & Lucy had arranged a lovely surprise for her at the local patisserie. If there are better villa owners, I've yet to meet them. The handover of the villa works seamlessly with Carmen there to meet you on arrival and the villa itself is wonderful. Absolutely spotless and perfectly maintained, the sea views from all floors are breathtaking. The shared pool ( by shared there were never more than 3 other people and most of the time we had it to ourselves) is huge and warm and if the wind gets up occasionally, it's completely sheltered. We love St Feliu itself. The beach is great and never over-crowded and the sea is pleasantly warm. Snorkelling is far better than you'd expect (especially over by the rocks) and the area is lifeguard patrolled. There are so many good places to eat in St Feliu it's hard to know where to start. Cerveceria Hot Dog is way better than it's name suggests and tied with La Trinquet for serving the best octopus. La Vermuteria is all about vermouth (as the name suggests) and serves excellent tapas and sangria made with vermouth rather than red wine. Truly awesome and a knockout hit with the ladies in our party. When you need a break from tapas then the Italian restaurant La Locanda di Nonna Flo serves excellent pizzas. If you're adventurous our 12 year old did an introductory scuba dive with Piscis Diving in St Feliu and they were totally brilliant. Very professional and safety conscious, she loved the whole experience. We also visited Girona itself and what a lovely city. We did a guided walking tour and found it well worth it. Departure from Maremar was as easy as arrival. Carmen came to take the keys and that was it. Our damage deposit was back in our account before we'd even taken off from Girona airport. We're visiting my brother in Florida next year so we won't be returning to St Feliu unfortunately. If we weren't would we stay again at Maremar.? Of course we would!!!!

If you need quiet place with amazing view of the sea go to Maremar. Peter and Lucy will guide you through every details of your stay from road from airport to cultural events in the region .You will have clean house , very good equipped kitchen ,comfortable beds ,beach towels ,beds ,umbrellas etc . Access to big swimming pool almost without guests .Car is neccessary.

We had a most wonderful stay. Maremar is a lovely, very well equiped house with a marvellous view!

Maremar is a fantastic place for a family holiday. The house was clean, spacious, in a great location - and with amazing views! Peter and Lucy were really helpful from start to finish, and provide a really friendly but professional service. We enjoyed exploring the local area (including a visit to the water park!), and several local beaches. We also found it easy to just relax at the house and make use of the wonderful pool. Definitely highly recommend!

We had rented Peter and Lucy’s lovely home in Puligny-Montrachet several times, so we knew we wouldn’t be disappointed when we decided to rent at Maremar and see a different part of the world. The house is quiet, private, and tastefully and thoughtfully furnished and decorated, with simply gorgeous views of the Mediterranean by day and by night. It has everything you could want to make your own home comfortable: a very well-equipped, modern kitchen, an interesting selection of books, CDs, a barbecue, an electric plancha, roomy closets, very comfortable beds, and even beach towels, lawn chairs, yoga mats and snorkelling equipment. Peter and Lucy are the kindest, most helpful and thoughtful hosts imaginable. They are quick to respond to any question, have a website with all manner of useful information about the town and surrounding area, provide you with a detailed list of events in Sant Feliu and environs before your arrival, and their recommendations as to what’s not be missed are spot on. They even provided an updated list of local events halfway through our stay. We particularly enjoyed the gorgeous walking paths along the coast, the beautiful beaches, the farmers’ market in San Feliu, the wonderful fresh fish, and watching the annual fireworks competition at Blanes from a boat just offshore. The local museum in Sant Feliu is well worth a visit, as are the botanical gardens at Cap Roig. I found the pre-Roman Iberian walled town at Ullastret fascinating. But the once-in-a-lifetime event for me was the annual Correfoc in Sant Feliu, in which highly trained (and intrepid, I think) people run through the streets holding fireworks. You have to see it to believe it, but once you see it, you’ll never forget it. And I have to say, the same applies to our stay at Maremar.

Very clean, all you could need there. Excellent owner communication & information including what’s going on in the local area. Would love to return,would not hesitate to recommend.

Maremar har allt man kan önska av ett hus: underbar utsikt, lugnt och tryggt område, rent och fräscht, pålitliga hyresvärdar, bra utrustat på alla sätt och helt enkelt perfekt. Huset var väldigt välstädat och hade allt man kan behöva för att bo bra en vecka på Costa Brava. Det gemensamma poolområdet var välskött och hela familjen tyckte poolen var toppen. Vi är en familj på 5, varav 3 barn i åldrarna 4,9 och 12. Alla älskade Maremar! Den husguide som Peter och Lucy, värdarna, har skrivit, kan jag varmt rekommendera att man läser ordentligt för den bidrar verkligen till att vistelsen blir ännu bättre. Huset har ett mycket välfungerande AC-system och mörkläggande jalusier, så man sover gott här. Peter och Lucy är de bästa värdarna man kan tänka sig, de är så hjälpsamma och tillmötesgående. Vi kan rekommendera detta hus helhjärtat, det är verkligen värt sitt pris. Ett litet tips, åk till stranden som heter Sa Conca strax norr om Sant Feliu de Guixols, den är sagolik! En restaurang som vi har ätit på ett flertal gånger är Cellar of Triton, den ligger i Sant Feliu och serverar närproducerad mat och mycket är vegetariskt eller vegansk. Men man kan även få hamburgare:) Ägaren är ett stort fan av svensk musik.

Having recently completed a glorious one week stay at Maremar, we were reluctant to leave. Walking in, the view of the water through the trees is amazing. It is only after you take a tour of the home that you realize you are going to be very comfortable and enjoy your stay. The kitchen is perfect for cooking, if you decide to do so, and the living area is spacious and yet cozy. The patio just outside allows for dining as well as lounging. The bedrooms and baths are luxurious and the top floor allows for additional space as well as the outside roof top patio. There is a pool associated with the complex that is beautiful, even though it was too early in the season for us to use. We highly recommend Maremar as a place to stay while in Costa Bravo.

We have recently returned from a wonderful 8-days-stay at Maremar. The house gave enough space for our three teenagers to seclude. We especially liked the tranquility, the beautiful view on the sea, the tasteful and comfortable furnishing and the very good kitchen equipment. Even in the beginning of November it was possible to swim in the large, beautiful swimming pool – of course, it was a little bit cold... We enjoyed the walk through the pine forest, which takes about 15 minutes. Sant Feliu is a beautiful city with lovely shops, restaurants and a large market on sundays. Thanks a lot to Lucy and Peter for many useful excursion recommendations and also for the very nice communication. We'll surely come back someday!

We were delighted with Peter. Extremely helpful answering questions and arranging transportation. The house delivers on all promises; clean, well appointed, and great location. Our guests enjoyed the third floor bedroom and balcony, unusual to find a house with essentially two master suites.Sant Feliu is a gem. So many delicious restaurants. Don't miss the coastal path - a hidden pleasure. We will definitely consider renting from Peter again, possibly one of his other houses?

Having just returned from a 2 week stay at Maremar I was seriously tempted not to write a review at all as I don't want anyone else to know about it!!! The villa was lovely. Spacious and comfortable with modern appliances, it was a delightful place to stay. All the rooms have very efficient air conditioning so sleeping on the hot summer nights wasn't a problem at all. The views from the back of the house are fantastic. The 3rd floor sun terrace is totally private and a complete sun trap for most of the day. Well appointed bathrooms, (3 of them), meant we were never stuck for cleaning up at the end of a day at the beach or pool. Always preferred a private pool but this one was was great. Huge and warm and even in the middle of August it never had more than half a dozen other people in it. A lot of the time we had it to ourselves. St Felui itself was lovely. Great beach with some surprisingly good snorkelling. Stay over to the rocks on the right hand side looking out to sea and the water is more clear with lots more fish. Great variety of shops and a handy Spar in the main square with some bigger supermarkets a little further out. Restaurants aplenty ranging from small cafe's to more upmarket ones. We loved the 'Hot Dog' (don't be put off by the name) for tapas and where I had the best octopus Gallega of the holiday. Snack Bar El Carrllet just behind the beach was tremendously convenient and a great place to have a large beer (the waiter wouldn't let me have it until I pronounced it correctly 'jarra' meaning pitcher!!) and something to eat for lunch. Eldorado Mar is the first restaurant you pass coming down the hill into St Felui from the villa and has superb views over the harbour backed up with wonderful food. Good value too if you go for the set price menu although the fillet of beef in salt crust from Girona off the a la carte was well worth it. Finally the owners. If you want a perfect example of how to run a villa rental then look no further than Peter and Lucy. The information they provided prior to and during our stay was exceptional. E-mails were always answered within a couple of hours and we'd been in the villa for 20 minutes before the phone rang and it was Peter checking we were happy with everything. On top of that our daughter turned 11 during our stay and Peter and Lucy had arranged a lovely surprise for her on the day. Would we go back? We're already looking at next year so of course we would!!!

Une maison toujours aussi tranquille pour notre deuxième visite! Très bien équipée ( matériel de plage inclus), une corbeille de bienvenue bien appréciée. De superbes vacances avec une vue magnifique, à quelques minutes du centre ville et en ayant besoin d'apporter uniquement les valises. De plus, la piscine est grande et entourée de verdure, parfaite pour des moments en famille!

We've just returned from a wonderful week at Maremar. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay. Lucy and Peter with the help of Carmen were great hosts to us and their attention to detail is remarkable. Communication before, during and after our stay was excellent and we felt welcome even before we arrived, having been supplied with plenty of information about local restaurant, things to see and do and other useful recommendations. The first thing we fell in love with is the view from the house. We enjoyed having breakfast on the terrace with a view on the wild coast leading to Tossa de Mar. The location is very peaceful and quiet. As we had perfect beach weather we hardly used the pool, but it's very nice and just a few steps away. We liked the fact that pretty much everything you could possibly want or need during your stay is provided, especially in the kitchen area. This is not your average faceless holiday rental, rather it feels like the owners are sharing their home. We will definitely be back.

Our global family found a central location by all flying to BCN and driving 1.5 hr to Sant Feliu. Peter and Lucy are outstanding hosts. We received excellent communication before during and after our trip. The villa was very clean and even the refrigerator was stocked with the necessities upon our arrival. The town of Sant Feliu is delightful and since we were in the off season it was easy to get around and find convenient parking. We look forward to returning to Maremar in the future.

Very quiet location at the end of the row of condos bordering on a very large open space forest. Lovely views of the sea below. Some hooting and hollering from party boats on the week-end down below, but not enough to be a distraction. Market is about a five or six minute drive down the hill. Small price to pay for the privacy and quiet. My family and I enjoyed our week. We often drove to S'agaro which has a bit nicer beach and a lovely cliff side promenade.

We have thoroughly enjoyed our restful two weeks at Maremar. We have been delighted with so many aspects of the property and resort just a few of which are: amazing view, peaceful setting yet close to delightful town of Sant Feliu de Guixols; grounds and garden well cared for containing fresh herbs, grape vines, almond and lemon tree; home full of those little essentials you haven't room to pack; kitchen cupboards full of quality cooking equipment, a good selection of teas, condiments and staples; pool accessories essential for kids and dads alike; wifi speed excellent. Thought seems to have been given to everything. Thank you Lucy, Peter and Carmen for the personal touches. Any queries we had were promptly dealt with over and above our expectations.

We, a family of four, spent a fantastic fortnight at Maremar. We were looking for somewhere peaceful and relaxing, whilst being within walking distance of restaurants and bars. That is exactly what we got! Maremar is just as good - if not better - than described in the listing. The sea view is stunning. It really does feel like someone's own holiday home that they have let you borrow for a short break. Well appointed, very comfortable and spotlessly clean - what more could you want? Peter and Lucy seem to have thought of everything, and were always at the end of the phone for help and advice, with absolutely nothing being too much trouble. That included, in our case, arranging for a locksmith to retrieve some lost keys! There is plenty of information, both at Maremar and on the website, about the area and thing to do, close by or further afield. Indeed, Lucy had already sent us lots of ideas even before we arrived. As other reviews have said, Sant Feliu is a bustling seaside town, feeling very cosmopolitan and family orientated. It was great to feel we were in a resort that the Spanish would also want to visit. Everyone made us feel very welcome, even though to our continued embarrasment we do not learn any Spanish or Catalan before we arrived. We used Maremar as a base to explore the area and keep everyone happy - culture (Gaudi + Dali), shopping (Barcelona) and water-based activites (snorkelling + waterparks). And the highlight of the holiday? We were very lucky to be in Sant Feliu over a festival weekend, and sitting on the beach at 11pm watching a 30 minute firework display over the Mediterranean was awesome (Tom, aged 9). Thank you Peter and Lucy
