Rectoria de Regencos

Rooms

The four apartments each have a double bedroom. Décor is austere yet elegant, with pale olive green walls, grey headboards, cupboards for clothes, unpolished terracotta tiles and Scandi-style furniture. Crisp white cotton sheets add to the cool and calming ambience.

The two 1-Bedroom Apartments are on the ground floor, accessed directly from the communal walled garden and pool. They have open plan kitchen/living/dining areas with a sofabed for 1, and characterful arched brick ceilings offset by plain white modern kitchens.

The two 2-Bedroom Apartments on the top floor are lighter in feel, with white-painted wooden ceilings, a breezy vibe and views across the surrounding fields. They have a separate sitting room that acts as the second bedroom – one sleeps 2 on a double sofabed, and the other has a set of bunkbeds – plus wood-burners for winter stays.

Contemporary bathrooms have bathtubs with overhead showers, fluffy white cotton towels and Keiyi toiletries.

If you're a larger party, you can book the whole property, sleeping 8 adults and up to 6 kids.

Features include:

• Air conditioning
• Coffee / tea making
• Hairdryer
• In-room treatments available
• Toiletries
• TV
• WiFi

Eating

The top floor apartments have full kitchens and the ground floor apartments come with kitchenettes – very useful for creating light snacks and family suppers, plus there's a Weber gas barbecue for guests. Expect salt, pepper, oil and vinegar waiting for you on arrival. There are grocery stores in Regencos and also supermarkets in Pals, Palagrugell and Begur (a short drive away). Palagrugell has a daily local market (excluding Mondays); Begur's is on Wednesdays. You can also request a shopping service with advance notice; if you're booking the whole property catering services are available.

If you'd prefer to eat out, the village has a few nice spots: Restaurant El Teatre is a gastronomic restaurant with a huge garden and chill-out bar, right next to the apartments, and you can have breakfast here too, or pick up pastries and bread at Agrobotiga Cal Xitro; La Rajoleria serves informal Catalan food on a large sun terrace.

There's also a plethora of really fabulous restaurants, from rustic to Michelin star, within a short drive in your in-suite directory. On our most recent visit we enjoyed the best Catalan food of our whole trip at Antic Casino in Pals, as recommended and booked by Alicia, including paella and fresh tuna salad. We had excellent plates of grilled sepia, fried white anchovies and tortilla, washed down with a carafe of sangria, at the fabulous little Es Dofí fish restaurant in Tamariu. The chef could be seen walking back and forth between the kitchen and his fishing spot in the little bay just outside the restaurant, returning with a catch in his hand each time.
