"The accommodation was excellent. A self-contained flat decorated and furnished with a modern feel, spotlessly clean, comfortable bed, fully-equipped kitchen, fridge / freezer stocked with some essentials (milk, bread, butter etc.) and bathroom, similarly spotlessly clean with modern suite, very trendy and tasteful tiles.

"We would thoroughly recommend you to anyone who is thinking of birding in Spain (Catalonia!) and have been telling our friends how pleased we were. The apartment was lovely and the packed lunches were delicious! We definitely will come back. All in all a great holiday."

"Thank you for your hospitality. We very much enjoyed our birding trip to Spain, we want to return to see more.Thank you for bending to my food needs also. That took extra thought and effort. We both hope your business blossoms and prospers."

Eating Arrangements |
||||||
For those happy to cater for themselves for a few days then the apartment is fully-equipped for cooking and eating in, with a gas hob, electric oven, microwave and fridge/freezer as well as an outdoor BBQ (charcoal not included).For your convenience it also comes stocked with a complimentary starter pack of basic BREAKFAST and other supplies such as bread, milk, tea, coffee, butter, jams, oil, salt, etc.Stop-offs at local supermarkets are regularly scheduled for you to pick-up supplies.A basic Quick Picnic lunch, designed to keep the birding going, is optional and a full home-cooked picnic based upon local Spanish and Catalan cuisine is also available during less busy periods. Dietary requests are accepted. |
|||||||
|
|
|||||||
EVENING MEALS. Evening meals are not provided.Depending upon the mood, options include dining at a quality restaurant in Sitges, firing up the outdoor BBQ at the villa or relaxing and eating in with a takeaway.Local restaurants operate local opening hours, i.e. they eat late, so I am always happy to drop clients in nearby Sitges, where there are many restaurants and bars open earlier. Local public transport is irregular so return by taxi is suggested. |
 |
||||||
"Lunch was excellent, as good as the view. A great Spanish Omelette with spinach and white beans, various cheeses and meats including Manchego cheese and slices of chorizo, delicious home-made soup and some crusty bread and fruit juice to help it go down.
|
|||||||
All birding short breaks and holidays can operate with daily pick-ups from Sitges or other nearby accommodation.If available and you like one of the hotels I suggest, I am happy to make the arrangements for you.Barcelona is only thirty minutes away by train and there is a regular, cheap service from Passeig de Gracia, Franca and Sants Estacio stations in the city. |

"Stephen's villa is an easy place from which to drive to Barcelona and the coast, and is an excellent base to combine a birding trip with a family holiday."Staying with Steve was one of the most enjoyable bits of our holiday in Spain. We really loved the accommodation best of all was the pool table and a table tennis table."
