Reviews of Villa Maricel

A Perfect Venue for a Magical Yoga and Wellness Retreat Villa Maricel was the ideal setting for my daughter’s recent yoga and wellness retreat – a truly unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the villa’s breathtaking views over the harbour and sea. The peaceful ambiance and stunning natural surroundings created a serene atmosphere that was absolutely perfect for yoga, exercise classes and relaxation. The villa itself is spacious, beautifully maintained, and very well equipped, offering a wonderful balance of luxury and comfort. Our guests felt right at home from day one. Its location is also a major plus—just a 10-minute walk from a variety of restaurants, bars, and shops, giving everyone the freedom to explore during their downtime. We found the layout of the villa particularly helpful for hosting a retreat. While the main bedrooms are of a high standard, it’s worth noting that the two rooms located beneath the swimming pool and another adjacent to the garage are a bit more basic by comparison—still very comfortable, but more modest. These rooms were ideal for accommodating our support staff and worked out perfectly. A huge thank-you to Jaume, the villa manager, who was an absolute delight—friendly, professional, and always ready to help with anything we needed. His support made the whole experience seamless. Villa Maricel exceeded our expectations and provided the perfect backdrop for a special and rejuvenating event. Highly recommended for retreats, group stays, or anyone looking for a beautiful, tranquil escape.

It's like a Palace, the pool is huge, the layout of the house is great.

Everything was amazing. A lot of shared spaces, most of the rooms were amazing, the selection of kitchen appliances was extraordinary, having two dish washers and enough plates for several covers is a very nice touch. There are different spots for having dinner with a big group, nice pool and overall just a very nice place to stay. The oven did not work very well on the first night, but they immidiately repaired it on our second day - very good service!

The rooms in the pool house and on the ground floor were not AS nice as the other rooms. Still nothing wrong with them, but if sharing the price of the house with friends, the ones staying in those rooms should pay a little less :)

Fantastic location near the beach and excellent restaurants. Wonderful pool. Great for multiple families with plenty of room. The manager Jaume was very attentive and solved any minor issues that came up quickly and was very helpful.

No air con but fans recently installed. Lacks some comfy outdoor seating. Some wear and tear on the pool and edging stones.

The host Jaume was superb. He went above and beyond to help us with a medical emergency and generally helped make our stay enjoyable. The property is very comfortable and well equipped with a large swimming pool and spacious enough to accommodate an extended family. Its location high on the hillside affords beautiful views all round and it is but a short steep walk into the village itself and down to the local beach. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and would highly recommend the property for family gatherings

It’s advertised as a 13 bedroom but one of the bedrooms is not as light and spacious as most of the others

Amazing house, a lot of options to spend a few days with family or friends. Perfect view on a sea.

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Maricel and would like to share our experience. We especially want to highlight the exceptional hospitality of Jaume, the house administrator. He was always available whenever we needed him and made sure that we lacked nothing. Even when we encountered issues with the initial Wi-Fi connection, he promptly took action and replaced it, even doing so on a Saturday at midnight. After the repair, everything worked perfectly. Additionally, he generously offered to drive us to the supermarket, although we didn't take up the offer. The house itself was impressive. It was spacious, well-maintained, and had plenty of lounge chairs and a huge pool. The view from the villa was simply breathtaking – a perfect place to relax and enjoy the beauty of the surroundings. The location of the house was ideal, being in close proximity to both the beach and the supermarket. The proximity to Barcelona also allowed us to take a day trip to the city, which we greatly appreciated.

It's worth mentioning that Villa Maricel may not be the best choice for wild parties, but there are some clubs in Platja d'Aro that can provide entertainment. Regarding the age restriction for guests, we regret that it was somehow challenging in this case, as we didn't have a person under 25 years with us, and unfortunately, this was not mentioned during the booking process.

A beautiful house for a family holiday. Lots of privacy and enough space!

The moist smell was a bit strong in some rooms
