Aircon is not included in the rent, since this is primarily only used in July and August, it can be reserved at € 15 p.day.

There are several beaches in L'Escala, Riells beach (1.200 mtrs.), a very large sandy beach with possibilities of sailing, pedalos, surf. Montgo beach (1.400 mtrs), app. 14 minute walk, 4 minutes by car.
The old village has three small beaches.

Just outside the village to the north is a beautifull archeological site along the sea side, Ruinas Empuries is a national monument, therefor an unspoiled seaside with pine trees along the coast. A path of 2 kilometers only for walking and cycliing leads from L'Escala to St. Marti d' Empuries along the beautifull beach, passing the archeological site.(see pictures in private album owner). Possibility to park under the trees near the beach.

There is a possibility to rent bicycles d in the old village. Do take into account however, that one must cycle up hill when returning.

L'Escala has a population of around 10,000. The town is surrounded by blue flag beaches; At the northern end of the town the Bay of Roses has some of the most beautiful unspoiled beaches anywhere. In the town centre is the popular beach at Riells, and at the back side of Villa Marcopolo is the lovely beach at Montgo, both at 1.200 mtrs.
L'Escala is one of the smaller holidays resorts at the Costa Bravan, perfect for families and independent holidaymakers wanting to avoid the mass-market package holiday resorts. Beautiful beaches, art, historic monuments, nature parks and one of Spain's most important wild bird reserves.

The choice of restaurants in L'Escala are suited to all tastes covering traditional and European recipes in the menu's. Authentic Catalan, Tapas Bars, Fish Restaurants, Pizza's and Pasta's, Chinese and Mexican dishes with price range starting at € 15 for a 3 course menu with water and wine to exclusive meals in Michelin restaurants.

Sport and leisure: There are several golf courses in the area including the excellent Emporda 27 hole course. Cycling is very popular here, the area around L’Escala is mainly flat, and into the Pyrenees for the more serious riders. Tennis, walking, horse riding, go - carting and fishing and other water sports such as kayaking (at Montgo beach), sailing and snorkeling are popular are catered for and there are several scuba diving centres.
At Montgo beach( 1.400 mt) one can rent kayaks, arrange scuba-diving courses, ideal for snorkeling.

Fabulous comfortable home close enough to enjoy all beach action
Lovely home with a distant view of the ocean, we had several beautiful beaches to choose from, excellent Restaurantes and shopping in addition to local attractions. We were warmly welcomed, and the property manager quickly responded to our questions and one non- issue that arose. Loved the home and the town, didn’t know much about how charming the town and beach really was. Spent time in Barcelona, and Drove north to Caduceus, and went to several beach cities. L’Escala was by far the most enjoyable. The house and pool were excellent, and we could not have asked for anything to change. Excellent vacation home.

Lovely house in a quiet neighbourhood.
Nice clean swimming pool with toys to be used by the kids to play with. We were very fortunate with the weather in October so the pool was used frequently. You could say the interior is a bit outdated as mentioned earlier and could use an upgrade, but thats personal. We thought it was a nice family house and we felt really at home. Just a 15 minute walk from the beach of cala montgo. The surroundings are beautifull. Visited the archeological site in l'escala which is really recommended. Just 45 minutes from the beautifull town Girona. We will love to come back someday!

Wonderful holiday weeks
Spend 3 weeks at the villa Marcopolo, absolutely loved the pool, especially the children, who could not get enough of it.. Hardly were indoors, except to cool down a bit when it was > 37C for a few days, happy with the aircon. The villa has everything one needs, to relax and enjoy, the area the villa is located in is really quiet and green. Used the BBQ a lot and dined at lovely, reasonably priced restaurants in L'Escala, which is a lovely old village. Very nice beaches nearby and a lot of nice places to visit in the Emporda area. Would certainly like to come back to this spot!

Wunderbares Haus in perfekter Lage
Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt, hatten das Haus als Familie für zwei Wochen gemietet. Die Lage war perfekt (mit dem Auto) zu verschiedenen Stränden und zu den Restaurants der Cala Montgo, besonders genossen haben wir den grandiosen Blick über L’ Escala und das Meer. Das Haus ist sehr gut gepflegt, ebenso der Pool.

Nice view from the villa. Well equipped kitchen and house e.g. spices, olive oil and candles that we used outside in the evening. Air condition was nice to have. The beds need to be replaced. Overall a very nice villa and L’Escala was a positive experience with many things to see, many restaurants. The closest beach was a very beautiful sand beach.
