The photos, as beautiful as they are, can not begin to capture the extraordinary views and special character of this house. We spent hours sitting on the terrace overlooking the infinity pool taking in the panorama of the scene before us - back to the town of Cadaques or out beyond the mouth of Cadaques bay to the open sea. Monitoring the comings and goings of the boat traffic in and out of the bay - not to mention the wind surfs racing across the mouth of the bay whenever the tramuntana wind picked up - was totally mesmerizing. Immediately below the house - cut out of the side of a cliff - are the transparent waters of the Mediterranean, where you can swim and snorkel. For a change of scene and and a moment of privacy, there are tables and chairs tucked away in different corners of the beautiful gardens.
It is difficult to leave the comfort and beauty of the house, Skyemar, but when we did, there were many choices. Top of the list was a regular walk along cliff's edge of a couple of miles to the Cala Nans lighthouse. It was also just a 5 minute walk down the hill to the local beach , where we swam every morning. We regularly made the comfortable 20 minutes walk to the center of town to eat in one of the scores of delicious restaurants, have a coffee or beer in a cafe by the water or do a little shopping in the old town. Across the bay on the horizon we could see the Cap de Creus lighthouse, whose beam streamed into the house at night - it marks the eastern most point of Spain, is located on a desolate but beautiful lunar landscape and is definitely worth a visit.
In sum, a real treat we didn't want to end. We could not recommend it more highly.
