Luxury apartment, views of marina. Pool, a/c, 5 mins stroll to beach and town!

Welcome to Marona, our luxury holiday rental apartment with lovely Marina views, a few minutes' stroll from Sant Feliu de Guixols, Costa Brava.

Imagine being in a modern, spacious, air conditioned, apartment with balcony views of the marina and within a five minute stroll of the beach...

And because it's not in a holiday development, the neighbours are not so noisy, care more about their surroundings and aren't so inclined to use the pool - leaving more time and space for you.

You can walk to the market every day for the freshest fruit, vegetables, meat and, of course, fish. That's when you are not going for an early morning kayak, dive or swim...

Sant Feliu de Guixols is one of the nicest and best small towns on the Costa Brava. It is not a holiday resort, but a living Catalan town with the culture, the Catalan lifestyle, the shops and restaurants so admired by well-healed visitors from Barcelona. But, of course, the beach is beautiful, the bay stunning and the facilities for visitors second to none.

Marona is a spacious apartment in a residential block within walking distance of Sant Feliu de Guixols, the Marina, the beach and the whole of Sant Feliu. But because it is not in the centre of town, it provides a wonderful haven at the end of a busy day.

It is on the first floor of the two storey block and can be accessed by stairs or lift.

It is not in a 'holiday block' and therefore we are looking for guests who want a great, convivial time, but not a riotous one! By the same token, this means that, although very central, you are unlikely to be disturbed by many marauding holidaymakers despite being so close to the action.

Marona boasts a excellent living area (21 square metres) with a dining table that can accommodate six, two three seater sofas and an enormous French window off to a spacious balcony with views across the Marina to the left and the hills to the right.

We have recently acquired an electric 'plancha' or barbecue grill which is ideal for use on the balcony without running the risk of upsetting the neighbours!

It has two spacious bedrooms, one with a double bed and the other which can either be a twin or a very comfy double, and ample storage. The master bedroom also has a large en suite bathroom.

There is also a family bathroom with shower.

The very well equipped kitchen is more spacious than most, with a breakfast table which can accommodate four cosily, the usual mod cons and a dishwasher. Off the kitchen is a utility room with washing machine.

The air conditioning and heating are quiet and efficient so Marona is ready for your visit at any time of year. The wifi is high speed and unlimited. The only thing we deliberately do not have is a TV because we are encouraging you to talk to each other and have fun together!

Underneath the block you have your own indoor parking space and access to the 12m swimming pool which forms the central space of the block.

You can stroll to the Sant Feliu beach in five minutes or wander along the coast the other way until you get to Platja Sant Pol which is the haunt of wealthy French and Spanish Riviera types (!).

Sant Feliu is teeming with things to do and places to see. If you like hiking or biking, Sant Feliu is ideal. If you want to explore Catalunya, what a base and if you are here for a rest then that's fine too!

We had a lovely stay.. The property is in a great location, just a short walk into the town. Very homely with lots of handy items like beach chairs. Communication from Peter was great and he was just a call away if the was anything we needed. Thank you

Relaxing and excellent family holiday.
The property was perfect for our family. Very clean and in an ideal location (short walk to restaurants and shops but in a quiet area). Communication with Peter and Lucy was excellent and very easy from the very beginning. Honestly can’t recommend the property high enough. We will certainly consider coming back. Ben, Heidi and Oliver

What you might need to know
First of all can I say that I agree with everything that previous reviews have said. I wondered what I could add that might be meaningful? Going on holiday at this time of year... undoubtedly yes. The weather was glorious, sufficiently hot in the middle of the day to be warm enough for sun worshipers. No rain. Fewer people. Quick smiling service wherever we went. A town large enough to be interesting but small enough not to be intimidating. A flat near enough to walk upto from town but far enough away from the shops/bars to be quiet at night. Girona on a Sunday?. Whilst most of the ordinary shops were closed, it was easier to park, get our bearings and walk around the older streets and town walls with ease. There are some very pretty beaches and coves to the north of the flat. Difficult to get to except by car but rewarded with picture postcard scenery and a lovely coastal walk joining them along the cliff top. A lovely evening visit to Pals, a hill top village. We went about 6pm, away from the crowds, easy parking and bought a lovely ceramic wall hanging. I try to bring something back from every holiday and I hadn’t seen anything like this any where else on our travels. I look for recent reviews.... home today 21/9/19.. this should count. Everything you might ever want or expect or need was more than met at every turn. So thank you Peter and Lucy for making our holiday in Catalonia so wonderful. Jan and Sandy Thomson

Short stay for family get together
Spacious, very well equipped apartment with balcony, great location, convenient to everything yet quiet. Very well equipped, great showers, the extras made a big difference - beach equipment and towels. Great local recommendations from Peter and Lucy - especially El Corsari - where the clams were super. Lovely welcome from Carmen and generous welcome pack much appreciated. Really enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning. The only negative comment we could make is that the air conditioning struggled with the heat during our stay

Well-appointed, fabulous 2 bedroom apartment!
What more can be said of Peter & Lucy's apartment in Sant Feliu that hasn't already been noted by others!! It is everything you'd want and more. Great location....It's just a short five minute walk downhill to the center of town and the beach. It is spotlessly clean, extremely comfortable, and very well-appointed. But best of all is the great communication and helpful advice from Peter & Lucy on what to see, where to eat and even where to go and shop on a late Sunday afternoon. Thanks for a wonderful vacation. We highly recommend!

We enjoyed our visit to Sant Feliu de Guixols... it was just much too short a time to see everything
We had a lovely time in Sant Feliu, very well stocked kitchen with absolutely everything you need to prepare a meal, great to have a good selection of staples available upon arrival besides an amazing “welcome” pack (thank you Peter and Lucy) with eggs, butter, bread, beer and juices, milk, ham and cheese, and a very comfortable bed with high quality linens, wonderful shower and fluffy soft towels. Peter was always available via phone or text message and kept us infirormed of arrival details and the sights to see in Sant Feliu. We had a lovely time, thank you very much Peter and Lucy.

Lovely spot, perfectly situated, excellent owners
My wife and two young daughters and I stayed here over Christmas 2018 and had a wonderful time. The apartment is clean and took care of all our needs, and has a lovely view once you're on the balcony. The owners are exceptionally helpful and raced to help when we thought the oven was broken, even though it wasn't! The apartment is a short walk into town and to the beach, and it's also a very short walk to the start of the Camino de Ronda, a stunning walking path along the coast with spectacular views. The town is very nice, has everything you'd need, and is easy driving distance to lovely destinations such as Tossa de Mar, Pals, and Girona. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend it!

Lovely apartment in a beautiful place on the Costa Brava
We stayed in this apartment for 4 weeks during peak summer 2018 and it was perfect for our needs (2 adults and 2 young children). The lovely town of Sant Feliu De Guixols is literally a short walk down the hill and you are in the centre of it all. Outstanding beach, bars, restaurants, shops, pharmacy, fresh market, fish market, bakery, everything you could want. We particularly liked the the fish market in the town square and did daily trips to get fresh bread from the bakery. Peter and Lucy were extremely attentive, made sure that our stay was hassle free and went out of their way to keep us informed of any local activities and events. Carmen came in once a week to clean the apartment which is very well equipped. We enjoyed the use of the paellara and cooked many an awesome paella on the balcony. We were made to feel very welcome....

Fantastic property in a wonderful seaside town!
In all my travels I believe this was perhaps the best combination of property, town, location, and owner assistance that I have ever experienced. I could not have been happier with my stay in Sant Feliu de Guixols. The he apartment was very well-appointed, with absolutely everything you could hope for - all the utensils and appliances (save for a microwave - which we did not require regardless) one would need, plus the owners went the extra mile to ensure that a “welcome package” (bread, eggs, butter, soft drinks, beer) were awaiting our arrival. The owners, Peter and Lucy, could not have been more helpful nor responsive. As they told me, they treat guests the way they would hope to be treated, and it shows! Other guests have commented on the parking space that is included with this apartment. I used it once, but found parking on the street nearby much more convenient. Do yourself a favour - stay here!

Superb apartment with everything you needed for a relaxing holiday
Very well situated with only a short walk into centre of Sant Feliu de Guixoles . We visited the museum ( the old monastery) walked around the port and upto the lifeboat museum , went to the market to buy fresh fish which was superb , plenty of tapas bars / restaurants so could eat somewhere different each night !! We were lucky to see the drummer bands the night we arrived which was a lovely atmosphere and nice mingling with the local Spanish people . Peter and Lucy were so helpful with supplying lots of information before we had even arrived .Always just a phone call away if you needed anything . We were met by Carmen who was lovely ! Welcome basket provided with essentials till we found our way around to get shopping . Although we tended to eat out most nights !! We had hired a car so were able to visit the little coves and beaches nearby -S'agro , Tossa de Mar , Begur ,Aigufreda and Girona for a city visit - all beautiful ! A week was not long enough to do everything that the Costa Brava has to offer - so we will just have to go back again another year !

Great apartment, clean, everything you need, easy access to beach and restaurants
We had a fabulous family stay. It was very easy to walk to town for the markets, restaurants and beach. The pool was a great bonus. Lots of things to drive to including cities, beaches, museums. Loads to do but also easy to spend a day doing very little. Kitchen easily big enough and equipped to cook family meals or easy to walk to a variety of different restaurants. Apartment was very clean and good showers. Small balcony big enough for family of four. Air con was great at night (we didn't need it during the day).

Excellent apartment in a great location.
We travelled with family and the four of us enjoyed the space and facilities in the apartment. The walk to and from town only took a few minutes and although we could park in the garage we tended to park in the street as the drive down the ramp into the parking bay is actually quite a tight fit for anything but a very small car. Peter & Lucy kept in contact with us regarding getting to the apartment and made sure the one small problem we had was resolved as soon as possible - on a Sunday!

Well situated and well equipped
Three of us spent a very enjoyable week at Marona. The apartment is only a few minutes walk from the beach and from the town centre. The level of appointment is very high with comfortable furniture and absolutely all the equipment that we might need. Being primarily a residential block it was very quiet at night. The pool is adequate for a quick dip or for exercise but it is not set up to sit around on sun-loungers. With the beach being only a few minutes walk, this is not a problem. The owners are extremely helpful and try very hard to make the whole process easy and satisfying for their guests. San Feliu is a 'proper' town rather than a 'tourist' town. Consequently the restaurants are spread out over the many side streets rather than clustered together. Most places spoke some English, but not all. There are many choices of restaurant and we found all those we tried to be excellent. We liked the town and we liked the apartment. An excellent holiday.

Fabulous location
Situated at the harbour end of town,with great views of the harbour,sea and surrounding mountains, what more could you ask for? The apartment is fully equipped and very comfortable. We were a couple , but there is ample room for six. The town is as you would expect ,very Spanish. There were few tourists and it's mostly the folk from Barcelona who frequent this lovely jewel. The beach is sweeping with very clean clear water. Plenty of restaurants to choose from, at all prices. Do not overlook the "casino ". There is a lot of history associated with it,and an extra plus is the food is excellent and the beer and wine is the best value in town ! Should you wish to self cater, the spa at the market square has all you will need at reasonable prices. Catering for yourself in the apartment is easy as it is very well equipped. We would definitely recommend this apartment and will certainly return.

Wonderful Apartment in a great location
We were lucky enough to choose this apartment for our three month stay in Sant Feliu de Guixols over the winter months.Peter and Lucy have been great hosts. Because we planned such a long stay in one place we wanted to make sure that we were making the right choice.We had lots of questions at the beginning and Peter and Lucy answered everything quickly and providing us with lots of information.From our very first enquiry we struck up a good relationship with them and this was important to us as it gave us confidence we had chosen the right place for our stay. The apartment is large, very comfortable and stylish with everything that you need.Everything was of good quality and the whole apartment was nicely decorated. Bed linen changes were done on a regular basis (with fresh towels) by Carmen the wonderful local property manager. We felt relaxed and "at home" straight away.The apartment is ideally located close to town( about a 10 min walk to the centre and the beach) and it has great views over the marina and out to sea.The balcony is spacious with plenty of room for 4 people to sit and have a meal or a drink. We loved Sant Feliu.Its a real Spanish town with life all year round.It has some great cafes,bars and restuarants and a very pleasant pedestrian zone with small shops and alleys.There is always lots going on and Peter and Lucy were kind enough to give us regular updates on local events and celebrations over the Festive season and beyond.There is a fish and fruit/vegetable market most days and a full street market on a Sunday- quite an experience ! All in all we loved our stay.Thank you Peter and Lucy for everything that made our 3 month stay so memorable.

Ideal place to explore the beauty of Costa Brava
We've repeatedly stayed at this property and we're planning on doing so again in the future. The apartment is located in a quiet yet central residential neighborhood of Sant Feliu de Guixols (SFG). It's only a few steps away from the harbor, beach and city center with small shops, a farmer's market, and a ton of restaurants to chose from. Also access to the stunningly beautiful cami de ronda, a path along the coast with gorgeous views, is just around the corner. The flat itself is fully equipped with everything you need for an enjoyable stay. Especially the kitchen is worth pointing out, because it has pretty much everything you need to prepare all the great fish and seafood that's so abundant here. Peter, Lucy, the owners, and Carmen, our local contact, have always been great hosts. The booking process is and has alway been flawless yet personal; communication is always swift and friendly before, during and after our stays. When we locked ourselves out recently, Peter immediately provided assistance in sorting out the situation, so we hardly lost any precious vacation time. The whole package, the location and the friendly owners just work perfectly for us and we'll gladly return as soon as possible. Muchas gracias, Peter, Lucy, and Carmen.

First class second visit here.
Excellent communication from owner prior to stay, as per last year, plus welcoming personal phone call on arrival to check all was well and offer assistance if necessary throughout the stay. Our second visit here to a very well appointed and comfortable apartment, kept spotlessly clean by Carmen, who also offered a friendly welcome. I would highly recommend this accommodation to couples looking for a relaxed holiday in a non touristy Catalunyan town. La Proa is an excellent restaurant, and local traiteur also very good.

Well positioned attractive property in lovely, authentic Catalan town.
Throughout the whole process, Peter and Lucy proved to be impeccable hosts. Always attentive and willing to provide an abundance of high quality information about the property, resort and surrounding areas. Arrival and departure was enthusiastically managed by Peter and Lucy's local Catalan agent. The property itself is well positioned just a short downhill walk to the beach and beautiful town of Sant Feliu de Guixols. The property being well furnished, fully equipped and with a balcony providing not only outside eating space but also great views across to the marina and out to sea, provided a clean and comfortable base for the whole family. The bedrooms we spacious with plenty of storage space whilst the two bathrooms, being welcome, do now require some attention to bring them up to the standard of the rest of the apartment. Car parking arrangements , it is worth noting, whilst tricky, are adequate. We would recommend Sant Feliu itself primarily because it retains a Spanish /Catalan authenticity which other nearby resorts lack. Always busy it never suffered from the heaving intensity of places like Palamos and the beautiful streets are full of interesting shops and a wide range of cafes and restaurants to suit all tastes and budgets. The beach is clean and the water inviting and safe for all ages. Certainly a place to which we would be happy to return to in the future.

A wonderful week on the Costa Brava
We really enjoyed our stay in Peter's apartment in Sant Feliu de Guixols. We didn't meet Peter, but we stayed in contact with him through SMS (text messages) throughout our stay. Peter provided all sorts of helpful information about everything from parking to grocery stores both before our stay and throughout the week as we needed it. The apartment was in a great location within walking distance of the beach/shops/restaurants in Sant Feliu de Guixols, but was very quiet at night as it was not right in the center of town. Our kids loved the pool in the courtyard. We enjoyed the main beach in town and also La Playa de Sant Pol which is a short distance away. One morning we hiked the coastal trail in between the apartment (you can get on the trail right in front of the apartment building) and the beach in Sant Pol and the views were incredible! I highly recommend that hike. Overall, we had a great time and I would highly recommend Peter's apartment.

Great Apartment, beautiful location and fantastic owners
The apartment is great - spotlessly clean and a real home from home with buckets and spades for the children, beach chairs, a Nespresso machine and very comfortable beds. Peter and Lucy could not have been more helpful - fantastic information and very prompt in replying to us. They even arranged collections to and from the airport for us - Girona is a great airport to fly to. We are very grateful to them for making our holiday a wonderful experience. San Feliu is beautiful - a truly Catalan town with a lovely beach, wonderful restaurants and a really lovely atmosphere. Everything was so relaxed. The apartment is in a lovely location with a beautiful view from the balcony. There are plenty of supermarkets (as well as lovely food markets) nearby and a great shopping trolley in the apartment for bringing your goodies home. We usually had the pool to ourselves which was very clean. We didn't hire a car which was great for us and you don't need one with the great location of the apartment. We took the bus to Girona one day (45 mins). It is a beautiful city with lovely shops, well worth visiting. The weather was lovely - hot but nothing like the south of Spain at this time of year. A real 5 star experience - thank you Peter and Lucy!

Verified traveler

a perfect base to explore the Costa Brava
We (a family of three, parents and a daughter of 7) have spend two weeks in the apartment. We know the owners because we have rented the great house in San Feliu and the houses in Puligny Montrachet. One can't think of better owners than Peter and Lucy. Their commitment to your well being and pleasure is second to none. This also concerns Carmen and her husband Jordi who are the people in San Feliu who take care of you if there are matters. The threats, food and drinks which is there for you at the arrival are a great and warm welcome. The apartment is near the harbor and in short walking distance from the beach and centre of San Feliu. Shops are also in walking distance and there is a handy trolly available. No problem in finding lovely fish, meat fruit and vegetables . A paradise for the amateur chef. Also there are many very good wineshops. Peter and Lucy have a list available of shops to consider. The apartment is tastefully decorated and has the comfort one wishes. A parking place for you is in the garage. A place to come to rest and relax. It was too cold to use the swimming pool. In the weeks we were in San Feliu it is a nice and quit place. The also goes for the whole Costa Brava. The beaches are quiet and the villages are in rest and waiting for the summer season. A visit to Barcelona (a good hour drive) is recommend in the spring. There is a very nice golf course in Mas Nou with stunning views and holes. The lessons from the local pro Pedro Martinez were excellent. There are many restaurants in San Feliu to consider. We had very good seafood at Sa Marinada in the harbor for fair prices. The staff is also very good. There are plenty of other restaurants where the food is good for very reasonable prices. No problem to bring your child to a restaurant. We are coming back to San Feliu and to Marona. Peter and Lucy and Carmen and Jordi thank you for a lovely vacation !

10/10 Excellent

Great home away from home
We have stayed in this appartment a couple of times in the past and we'll keep coming back. Peter, Lucy and Carmen (who handles things locally) are perfect hosts who go to great lengths to make sure you have a great stay and get the most out of your vacation. This starts long before you arrive with pleasant, friendly communication, a very helpful web site/guest guide to support you in preparing your stay, recommendations for activities during your stay. When we arrived, the fridge had even been stocked up with some food and drinks to get us started without having to go out shopping first. Peter is always available via phone in case something is unclear or needs fixing (which I don't remember happening even once during our various visits). Thanks a lot! The apartment itself is very comfortable, bright and contains everything you could possibly want or need, e.g. beach towels, etc. Generally, everything here is a level above your average holiday rental and feels more like a home away from home. It's especially worth mentioning the fully equipped kitchen, because there is an abundance of seafood and all kinds of fresh produce to try for hobby chefs. Of course, if you're more into restaurants, the apartment is located in a quiet yet central residential area within walking distance of the town centre (5-10min) with lots of nice places in all price ranges. Sant Feliu de Guixols is a great place to experience the beauty of the Costa Brava. Comparably unspoiled by mass tourism it has a lively vibe all year round, mostly without the tackyness of some more well known places in the area. There are still lots of down-to-earth local shops frequented by locals. The scenery is great (with a lovely view from the apartment's balcony) and it's ideally suited if you want to explore this part of Catalunya. Girona is well worth a visit (rated one of the Top 10 weekend getaways by The Guardian recently), Barcelona is within driving distance and there's a myriad of beaches to chose from. Long story short - we'll be back. I hope I haven't shot myself in the foot with this positive review ;)
