“AS WONDERFUL AS ALWAYS!”
We have just returned, yet again, to El Pinaret where our family spent a wonderful week. The house is spacious and well equipped, beautifully clean and has the most amazing garden and views. There is so much to do locally, from mountain walks and seaside trips, ( we even had a January swim!) to visiting medieval towns or modern shopping centres. I would also recommend the local riding stables, La Mussara, where our daughters went out on a beautiful countryside hack. The local food is delicious, the people friendly, and the sunshine very much appreciated in the winter! Would thoroughly recommend a break here at any time of year.

“JUST PERFECT”
We loved everything about the house. The location is perfect, close to the mountains but not far from the beach too. There are lots of things to visit and do in the area. The house is very nice, it has all you need for a short stay, the spaces inside are fantastic, everything is very spacious. The outside area is very pretty, and we could dine outside (in November!!) while the kids played around in the garden. We would definitely recommend it!

“PERFECT FOR A FAMILY HOLIDAY”
We had a lovely week in this villa where the owners have provided everything you need. The kitchen is very well equipped and even has a cupboard of herbs and spices. There was a large collection of books and games which entertained the children. The pool is very welcome on a hot day. The BBQ area and numerous outdoor eating areas encourage al fresco dining. Plenty of towels and linen. Nice to have basics like toilet roll, dishwasher tablets etc provided. You definitely need a car to get around but there are some lovely places to visit that are only 20-30 minute drive away such as Mont Blanc and Tarragona beach. We had a day trip into Barcelona and drove to Gava, parked up for free and bought a T-10 ticket for €9.90 that gave family of 5 a return trip into the city centre. Would highly recommend this lovely villa but you will need plenty of mosquito spray when sitting outside. Good communication from owners and received deposit back with no issues.

“FABULOUS”
Just returned from family holiday, teenage children and a parent. All had a fabulous time. Villa very easy to find. Support from Maria before we visited was always speedy and excellent. Once there Michele who lives nearby was really helpful. The seclusion of the villa was just what we needed. Michele suggested Consum as the local supermarket to use and we gorged on their fresh fish counter. Close enough to many places for visiting but as we'd just spent a week sightseeing in Barcelona we mostly stayed put and enjoyed the villa, apart from the obligatory Portaventura trip with teenagers (although we love it too!). Hope to be able to visit again in the future. Thanks Maria and Michele.

“THE LOCATION OF THE HOUSE IS FANTASTIC”
The location of the house is excellent, in a development called Les Masies Catalanes very quiet area ideal for relaxing and if you want to visit the area eg Siurana Priorat and Baix Camp eg Les Prades, Montsant ... it is perfect. The house is very big and with all amenities. It is very well equipped, spacious and very clean. Like photos. Highly recommended. We would certainly we feel very comfortable, as if we were at home. Thank you so much Maria!

“EL PINARET”
El Pinaret is very lovely house. You have everything for successful vacation, even the log fire in October. Property is very private, in quiet area, surrounding the forest hills to protect from the wind. House is very comfortable. View is great. Reus and Tarragona are very close and wonderful Montblanc, too. Excellent place to stay in Catalunya.

“FANTASTIC VILLA”
Booked this villa for a weeks holiday with my husband, daughter (23 months), sister and brother in law. The villa was very well equipped for everything we needed for our daughter. The small bedroom had a cot set up and toys, which was great. A high chair was also provided. The downstairs was open plan which was great. Outside there was a lovely pool and sun bathing area. We cooked every night on the BBQ. A car is essential for getting around. we picked one up from Barcelona airport.
A fantastic villa, high recommended.

“FANTASTIC, COMFORTABLE, WELL-EQUIPPED, HOME FROM HOME”
Had a lovely stay, despite bringing the British weather with us for half the week! Still able to sit outside and take in the view (and watch the thunderstorms!), as it was still warm, and thanks to the generous covered terrace at the front of the house. Also able to enjoy the cosy covered bbq by candlelight! El Pinaret stands in its own lovely grounds in a mountain location well away from the tourist areas, so it's peaceful and not overlooked - yet it's only a 20 to 30 minute drive to Salou, Tarragona etc. Friendly, helpful owners too. Is definitely worth a visit just to sample Michele's wine.... can't buy anything here in the UK to match it!!
Many thanks to Angelique and Michele. Hope to come back some time...

“WONDERFUL HOUSE FOR LONG TERM LET”
Thank you for letting our family rent El Pinaret for a long term let from September to June, two years running. We wish we were still there! The house is wonderful. So peaceful and yet so close to shops, towns and the beach. We loved walking in the mountains, bodyboarding on the beaches, tasting the local specialities,(especially the olive oil and wines) and attending many festivals and celebrations. The locals are incredibly friendly and hospitable. Maria's parents, who live nearby, helped us with so many things from settling in to showing us how to make olive oil, preserve olives and make wine!! We all miss them, the house and the Catalan way of life very much!

“BEAUTIFUL FAMILY VILLA"
Situated in a beautiful hillside location with amazing views. The villa is clean, very well equipped and comfortable. Huge family dining-table in a well laid out open plan downstairs living area. Lovely and cool inside, with netted windows (keeping the mozzies out!), comfortable beds with pretty bed linen. Close proximity to stunning beaches (some we had virtually to ourselves at the end of October in the extended, very warm sunshine). Really close to Portaventura. Amazingly the R.A.C. World Rally Championship was taking place really close by and we were able to track part of the race, much to our excitement!!
Lovely to sit and relax by the pool and admire the exotic plants and flowers in the gardens. Excellent communications with owner and owner's father (who lives nearby).

“BEST EVER”
Totally amazing place to stay with beautiful views. Lovely pool within easy reach of everything lovely relaxing place very peaceful this was our fourth visit and would go back year after year couldn't think of a nicer place to spend our summer holiday its like being in your own home except lovely sunshine we hate having to leave everything. normally book it again as soon as we get home cos its that good but didn't this time just gone to book it but to late its gone
Went the last of August with family and a couple of my children's friends. Kids aged 2x16,2x13 and 7. They loved it. Airy and relaxed and pool is nice. Good bbq and loads of space to sit out. We turned up in the evening and they dropped off a bag of breakfast stuff for us which was nice. Weather turned cool on us for a few days with a few rainy days so didn't swim as much as we would have liked. But it can be cool in the hills and hot by the coast. Tarragona is close by and other beaches too. Had a fantastic time - lots to explore and discover.
House is tucked away in hills, not a touristy place so really nice. Not too far from supermarket just a short drive away. Easy to get anywhere whether down to Tarragona and Reus or up the village of Mont Blanc.
Need to hire a car - avoid using Argusrental\goldstar as they try to add loads of extra costs on.
