A perfect holiday-very relaxing! Apartment very comfortable and Vilanova a great place to stay for a quiet time. Yvette very helpful and knowledgeable - would love to come again.
D & P (London) September 09

After so many visits here (still working towards the gold watch), it\'s hard to know what to write. I wonder what people visiting VnG for the first time make of it at the moment, with so much renewal taking place - I\'m not holding my breath about them finishing the refurb of Placa de la Vila soon, though We\'ve been lucky with the weather and especially clear, calm seas. It\'s also been interesting to see a different view of the date September 11th.... Until the next time.

Dear Yvette & Julie \"Darling, shall we go out for dinner?\" \"No let\'s stay here in this wonderful apartment\". This should express that you have created a beautiful location for spending holidays. Especially the roof terrace with it\'s shower, we enjoyed so much. In the hope of a soon return.

M, M, C & H (Oslo, Norway) July 09

Thanks to you both for a super time in Vilanova. Our first trip to this area of Spain has been fantastic. We loved Apartment Annie - you have made sure our stay was easy and comfortable.

Everything was better than expected, we are more than satisfied. When on vacation, it\'s always nice to have a proper kitchen to cook your own meals as well as trying thr local restaurant with enormous pizzas I won\'t even mention the roof terrace. Yes. it\'s magnificent. We really liked the city of Vilanova and hopefully we\'ll return some day.

2008

Enjoyed our first stay in Vilanova and Apartment Julie. Everything was taken care of and we appreciated being collected at the airport on arrival and being dropped off at the station on our departure. We also appreciated the initial groceries we requested and the tour of the town on our first day. Apartment was immaculate and well equipped. Appreciated recommendations of restaurants and places to visit. Thank you very much.
J & M (Aberdeen) October 08

To Yvette & Julie We initally came to use your accommodation as a base for Barcelona - However after visiting Barcelona and then come back to Vilanova, we much preferred Vilanova. What a beautiful place, very traditional and very appealing - ended up spending the majority of our stay here in Vilanova - just love it! had a lovely relaxing break. Big than you to you 2 for your advice and welcome - could not ask for more. Will highly recommend.
G,J,J & F (Wigan) October 08

I still think that after 20 stays you should get a gold watch! Fab as ever, which is why we keep coming back. It’s very interesting to see the incremental changes in VnG. And wonderful to know there’s a great apartment and warm welcome from Julie & Yvette. Until the next time.

N & B (Swindon) September 08

Dear Julie & Yvette Another rave review! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the apartment and wished it was for longer. It was an ideal place to explore the area and to visit Barcelona & we are so glad we opted for the quieter life here. The apartment is lovely, spacious but homely and you have thought of everything. Having the roof terrace was an added bonus, so nice to have some outside space to relax in. Thanks for being so friendly & helpful, it was good to know you were at the end of a phone if we needed you!
J & N (Exeter) Sep 08

Dear Yvette & Julie Thanks for a wonderful holiday. We have fallen in love with Vilanova and your hospitality and friendly service has been fantastic. Our only complaint is that our stay has not been long enough! We will be back.... Kind regards

P & D (Glos.) April 08

Dear Julie & Yvette Well, another great stay in your very comfortable apartment. The proximity to the shops of La Rambla was wonderful for C - that is, when we were not at Vilanova Tennis Club!

Dear Julie & Yvette Thanks so much - we thoroughly enjoyed staying in your very comfortable apartment. It must be the only holiday apartment that I have ever stayed in with decent kitchen knives! As you know, we LOVE Vilanova and your apartment gave us a base fo CH and A to fit in a bit of retail therapy! The bt. of cava was a lovely touch - we drank it as bucks fizz on my (rather long) birthday! We will be back in March! Love from

B, J & B (Liverpool) September 07

Vilanova is a charming town for pottering and people watching. Great beaches especially for walking on. Excellent apartment. One of the best we have stayed in. No problems during our stay, however, every confidence if we had, you would have been there to assist and support. Thank you.
R & J (Dewsbury) September 07

For us Vilanova was a grower and by the end of the week we were sorry to leave. Lovely, cute apartment, great barbeque on the first night (best meal of the week!). Still giggling that we weren’t bright enough to work out the hob! Thanks for looking after us.
H & D (West Midland) September 07

P & H (Belfast) September 07

Yvette and Julie What can we say…. Julie where would my trousers be without you. Wonder woman herself complete with vanish oxy!

Take care and we’ll hopefully see you both very soon!. Lots of love xxx
A & C (London) September 07

K & S (Mid Lothian) August 07

Wonderful few days in which to celebrate my 60th birthday. Thank you for the champagne! The town isn’t touristy – very interesting. The apartment is spacious, well equipped and the roof terrace is fantastic. Train to Barcelona easily achieved (although it did break down on the way home!) We hope to return and would definitely recommend to family and friends.
A & M & C & S (North Yorkshire) August 07

Vi er iflg. Yvette & Julie de første fra Norge som bor her, men forhåpentlig vis ikke de siste. Om dere, mot all formodning skulle få behov for noe dere ikke finner i leiligheten, er det bare å spørre. For oss var leiligheten genial, selv om det var et stykke å gå til stranden ( ca 15 min) . Mange fine restauranter, også utenfor hovedgaten, (ramblaen) En herlig by. Vi ble med ut i den fine båten ”the black sheep”, noe spesielt barna satte stor pris på. Takk for oss for denne gang
Familien F & Marius (Trondheim, Norway) August 07

Yvette & Julie We’ve had an amazing time during our week in this lovely apartment. Everything has been great, your kindness, service and attention to detail has been second to none and we’ll definitely recommend this type of holiday to others. The wine trip was great – door to door service, lovely lunch and a trip to 2 vineyards…worth every penny. Can’t thank you enough – thanks x 10! All the best for a long and successful business venture.
E & J (Manchester) July 07

This is a fantastic apartment that has everything we have needed throughout our stay. It’s great to have so much space to live in. Vilanova is a great place, we loved the beach and your recommendations were very helpful and the ones we used were correct. The many helpful things you provided made our stay more enjoyable. We will definitely be recommending you to others. Many thanks.
P…..d family (Dublin) July 07

Yvette and Julie Thanks for a great time. Peace & quiet, both priceless. Loved the apartment – great attention to detail. Loved the audio visual equipment, can I steal it??? Great George Michael album – looking forward to seeing him in Belfast soon. We must come back – for longer next time!
Love always. B & J xxx (Belfast) July 07

Finally Back!! Regardless of whether we’d been walking, at the beach, being cultured(ha!), eating like swine, drinking like fish, getting back to the apartment felt like coming home. Thanks again, we’ll see you soon.
M & J xxx (Sheffield) June 07

A fantastic apartment, we wanted for nothing. An ideal location for a family holiday, access to the beach and Barcelona. Thank you so much for your hospitality. We loved the cava and red wine! I am converted to Catalan wine. (Thank you so much for supplying us with all the toys and a guitar. Also for taking us on a tour of Vilanova. Love R). With love
S & S & R & E (London) May 07

Yvette and Julie, great apartment, superb location for what we had in mind! You are both great hosts who couldn’t do enough for us, we felt very well looked after. Nothing was too much trouble. Both very helpful and a charming way to run your business. Willing to accommodate our requests and very knowledgeable on the local area. Yvette – the massages were fab, just what I needed. Will certainly recommend both apartments to friend and family and hope to visit again soon. Thanks for the round of golf, my pro will be impressed (birdie on the 17th!). Hope to make it out on the boat next time. Best wishes
K & S (Surrey) May 07

Well, this is our fourth time in Vilanova and the third in one of your apartments. A wonderful week, as always, but not long enough! The boat trip was fab and we finally made it to Tarragona (highly recommended). We’ve every intention of coming back…again.
T(now old)& C (Oxford) May 07

Apartment was great with small children and terrace was great. Town was nice and there is not tourists everywhere. Thanks for friendly services and thousands of thanks for the help in the police station!
J & M & O & J & A (Finland) May 07

Dear Julie and Yvette Thanks for letting us use your apartment. Vilanova is a very nice place and the tasty seafood restaurants! Also we enjoyed the bbq we had on the roof terrace by full moon, it was wonderful. We had a very nice holiday in which we celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary with our sons in a very memorable way. We hope to be back here one day. Love

A & A (Hertford) Oct 06

Yvette and Julie. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Vilanova. Lovely town, fab beach, great places to eat. We haven’t enjoyed swimming in the sea for such a long time. The crashing waves were fab! The apartment is very comfortable and is exactly how it looks on the website. We will recommend to our friends and hope to be back!

We are sure that your business, like Vilanova, will enjoy a great future.
S & A (Glos.) June 06

Best of luck for the future, you deserve it.
