We had a fantastic time at your wonderful villa! Delighted by the views and our visits to Girona old town - beautiful. Our teenagers thought it very cool - we had lots of fun. Thank you.
Mr Mintow - czyz
Beautiful villa and we've thoroughly enjoyed visiting this area of Spain - last minute holiday with long lasting memories. Thank you.
The Holdens
Although most of our time was spent outside, where there is a nice covered eating area, the sitting room is very nice affording superb views of the sea. The area has a wealth of beaches and quaint old towns to be explored. We heartedly recommend the villa and we will be back.
Sue and Paul Clarke
The family had a wonderful holiday at Villa American. The villa is modern, light and spacious. The sunrises and sunsets witnessed from the patio are sensational and vistas of the sea from the 2 en suite bedrooms. There's plenty of space for sunbathing around the infinity pool. A great time was had by all and we look forward to a return visit.
Collier Family
I found this new property to be very chic, exquisitely designed and tastefully furnished. The floor-to-ceiling windows really showcase the stunning views it enjoys across the bay of Palamós and out to sea. I have no doubt whatsoever that guests will enjoy spending their holidays here.
