“Thank you Haven on Earth for another fantastic holiday! Last year we had a brilliant stay in Poros, Greece and this year you matched it with Begur, Spain. Villa Rocas is a lovely peaceful villa in a perfect location to visit all the different places in the area. The view is wonderful. We spent many relaxing nights there cooking fresh meat and fish from the town. It's very idyllic and the perfect antidote to everyday stresses! And thank you for all your advice, it was spot on! It's such a relief to go somewhere and know the best places to go, it really helped make the most of our stay. That's what is so great about Haven on Earth, you really make the effort to know the areas and don't just recommend anywhere. We look forward to next year, Poppy & Marc”

“I would like to thank you all for making our holiday at the villa "Casa Romero" another memorable stay. This was our 4th visit to the villa and it did not disappoint. As always Bob and Kerry were very welcoming and it is always nice to know that there is someone on hand if you need them. We have been holidaying in this region for many years and Begur is very special. Thank you and your team for all of your help.”

“First class service from George and team at HoE who had excellent knowledge of local resorts and advised the perfect location for our particular needs. Swimming pool was great and not green as the pictures suggest! Hope to book again but in the meantime if you ever have any last minute sunshine bargains please let me know as we can travel at short notice.”

“Due to the illness and decease of my father we had to cancel our holiday to the USA. Daniela has made a lot of effort finding a place for us to stay in the area of Begur. We really appreciate that! The apartment was very basic but that was known to us when we rented the apartment. Also the local management was very friendly and helpful. We have had a good time in Tamariu and are grateful for all your help in circumstances that were difficult for us.”

E. Hynds
15—29/07/2011
“One of the properties was chosen because it was supposed to be 700m from the beach and restaurants, this was ideal as our son had a knee injury, but the advertised walking distance would allow us to be able to walk and not drive to have a meal out if we desired (we accepted that our second Villa required a car to go anywhere and was chosen for its location as we know the area well) We were delighted with the villa itself as it was stunning and so was the view. The maid service was an added bonus which allowed me to enjoy a hassle free week. Our only disappointment was not being able to walk anywhere!”

D. Carver
005PT 15—25/06/2011
“This was the first time my wife and I have booked a holiday like this and the experience was wonderful. The property was better than we could have wished for, and we will definitely be booking again. Many thanks.”

Thank you for everything. Talk to you next year, maybe to go to Sardine!!! Best Wishes. P.S: Bob from Begur is being very helpful and always on time to deliver what was needed...”

S. Price

“I found Haven on Earth really helpful, well informed and very efficient. Rosie was great on the phone at trying to help with villa selection. 
The local management were most efficient and helpful with Karina spending time to go through tips on the area. We were especially grateful to the local management as we left a purse in the cupboard of the villa and they arranged to courier it to us at the airport. That sort of professional service in an emergency sets your company apart from the rest. We considered ourselves very fortunate! All-round extremely impressed with the service, villa and location, it was beautiful a lovely holiday thank you!”

J. Carpenter-Hubin

A. Van Kleef

“The villa was lovely and situated at a lovely spot. It was clean and had a lovely atmosphere. The senora who we saw on arrival was very helpful indeed and when we called about the lights and the coffee machine that was not working, she came over right away with light bulbs etc. very friendly! The weather was bad but that was not anyone`s fault! We had a lovely week anyway!”

V. Summers

“We loved Villa Bianca and had a wonderful holiday with our children and grandchildren.  The villa was beautiful, well appointed and well cared for.  Its situation was breathtaking (in both senses of the word, thinking of the steep hills in all directions!!!) with amazing views.  It had every facility we could think of except Wi-Fi.  We were already familiar with the area, having holidayed in Calella de Palafrugell several times, and we never tire of it.  If any of your clients are thinking of renting Villa Bianca who haven`t got grandchildren, I am sure we could rent ours out for a week!”
 
L. Hignett

G. Evans
001G 24—31/07/2010
“We had a really nice time at La Julivia. It`s a fantastic villa with extensive views. There were several places for us and the children to sit around the villa, depending on the position of the sun, time of day, and whether we wanted to barbecue on the terrace or by the pool. Once again we had a wonderful time in this area near Begur, and by venturing further south to Palamos and Sant Antoni etc discovered why the 5-10 miles either side of Begur are so special - small pretty coves with good restaurants unspoilt by the mass tourism of other resorts.
This was the first time we`d had a local agent. We were given a lovely welcome, and the staff was helpful, booking a local taxi firm to take us home from a night out in Sa Tuna! We would certainly have no hesitation in booking once again with Haven on Earth. Thank you once again for all your help,”

F. Parsons

“My family and I had a super holiday in Begur and very much liked our villa (007p) which was as described on your website. Very pleased as the house was just as described and photographed. No nasty shocks! We particulary liked its situation at the very end of a cul de sac which gave us extra privacy and avoided us being overlooked. We will definitely be looking into the accommodation you offer again next year.  Thanks again for your help.”

L. MacDonald
006P 11—16/07/2010
“We had a lovely break. The villa was spotless and the previous renters had left some bits and bobs which were very welcome. The price you charged us was just right for the accomodation and service provided. We are considering booking again for next year. Thanks again.”

D. McInnes
001GA 23/06-07/07/2010
“As for the holiday, we all had a wonderful time and the house was all we expected and more. The location, the views and more importantly, the accommodation itself was fantastic and we would recommend it to anyone who wished to have a relaxing and authentic Greek experience. Tracy was always on hand to assist, beginning on our arrival when we got a little lost in the dark and we appreciated the assistance she gave us during our stay. Her local knowledge was a great help to us. Galatas itself is a lovely town and we found it a very economical place to dine out. The recommendations from the literature in the house were very helpful in choosing suitable places to eat. We also found Elanova a welcome oasis from the heat and we had some very enjoyable days there thanks to the hospitality of the family who own it. We also found Galatas a good centre to explore the rich history of the area and we had wonderful trips to Athens, Napflio, Tolo and Epidavros. My camera has never been worked so hard taking in the many historical sites that abound. I must finally mention the views from the balcony of the house which are absolutely stunning, especially at night when the sunset view was just magnificent. Please extend our thanks to Tracy for her help and, as I mentioned, we will have no hesitation in recommending the house to anyone thinking of a Greek holiday in the future.”
 
C. Colombo

“Let me tell you that my group could not have been more happy with the residence.  Not only was the house so very beautiful but the northern Spain region was as well.  It was all of our first time in Spain and we found the people to be so very kind.  We have some experiences that we shall never forget.  We all wish we had rented the house for two weeks because we simply did not get enough of any of it! We will definitely return.  It was just the most wonderful vacation and we will never forget how perfect it was!”

“We thought the service we had from George and yourselves was excellent re: organising the wheelchair and especially as George acted quickly to move us from Llafranc when we discovered the building works in the next apartment.  We also LOVED the villa you moved us to.  So thank you for being so efficient.  We would be very keen to book through Haven on Earth again and if I can persuade my husband to pay the fee for Casa de Luna in Begur we may well be your clients next year!  Please thank Bob for all his help.  I will also recommend your website to our friends and family.”

S. Moilanen
004G 12—19/06/2010
“The villa was nice and the location is superb. However, maybe you should mention somewhere that it`s not suitable for families with toddlers (because of the stairs and height differences). The garage was a nice bonus. Overall, it was a very nice experience again and we are very likely to go to Begur next summer and probably for 2 weeks”

What Our Clients Say 2009
  

M. van Assen
001PT 17—24/10/2009
“Full with happy memories of Poros and the Lemon Tree House we returned to a wet and cold Holland almost four weeks ago. We enjoyed our stay very much; we had wonderful summer weather in October. For the Greek the Mediterranean is already too cold to swim, but the temperature of the sea water is warmer in October than if ever gets in August in the North Sea. Jan met us when we stepped off the Flying Dolphin and we immediately were at home in the house. The view from the balcony is fantastic and only sitting there for a week is holidays. We explored every beach on the island, went to Hydra and to Epidauros, had wonderful dinners in restaurants. Thank you very much for everything.”

B. Sacoor
053VA 25/09-05/10/2009
“We were very happy with the standard of the accommodation and its location etc. The pool heating was adjusted to our liking and the hired piano was very successful. Thank you very much for all your kind attention.”

B. Barnes

L. & M. Barnes
004PT 12—19/09/2009
“Just wanted to drop you a line to tell you what a wonderful time we had staying at Lemon Tree House. It was great to be met by Jan and led up to the house (whilst on the way telling us about the local shops and amenities). Although the first day or so was a little cloudy we still enjoyed great temperatures and time on the various beaches throughout the week - we also went on a day trip to Hydra. I`ll send you a link to my photos when I eventually get them sorted and online.

All in all a lovely time and definitely keen to bring more of the family in the near future and perhaps rent both apartments.”

M. Webster
006P 06—14/09/2009
“The villa suited our purposes very well. Thank you. We chose Begur partly because I know it-it is a delightful little town-and partly because it remains intrinsically Catalan despite the tourists. We appreciated the full background information supplied about the area. We also appreciated the fact that the agents gave us `space` but were available when we needed them.”

G. Riley

“Party of 6 people, all of us had a very, very good holiday, first time we had been based in a town and the first time we haven`t used car hire whilst away…Excellent place to have a holiday, myself & my wife have been to POROS before as boyfriend/girlfriend 22 years ago, this time we took the family and the area was a lot better than we remembered it….
Lemon Tree house was an ideal base for us, suited us perfectly, all amenities in the house that we needed, enjoyed the terrace/patio area and of course just minutes from all tavernas, the harbour, boat taxis, bus`s and shops, ideal for us all…. All six of us enjoyed it more than we expected and we all would recommend the accommodation & area to everybody….”

“Very enjoyable holiday with the whole family under 1 roof; a formula we will repeat. The quiet Rosamar area was particularly attractive in this crazy first week of August. The house was what we expected and Sarah very helpful and friendly. Extend my thanks to her as I left early and did not see her at the end of our stay.”

I would like to know if it is possible if I could receive floorplans of Casa Rocas as we are planning on making a photobook so we can remember the good times we`ve had. We had a very, very good time in the Villa Rocas. The house fitted us perfectly and we felt very at home. At the end of our stay nobody wanted to leave. Your `local` people were very helpful indeed.”

“We would just like to tell you what a wonderful holiday we all had! The villa is absolutely beautiful. The views are stunning and all of us will have long and fond memories of evenings watching the sunset from the terrace, with a glass of wine or a cold beer, while trying to decide where to go for dinner! For one our party it was her first time abroad, and what a place to start! We also had an 18th birthday celebration, complete with `Ice Cream` birthday cake from the local cake shop.

Everyone came away appreciating the very relaxed & friendly atmosphere on Poros.

I would highly recommend a holiday on this beautiful island to anyone, but then too many people would find out about it….  And the secret would be out!”

Between all of us we have well over 2000 photos, so if you need any extra pictures for the villa please let us know.

Many thanks for all your help”

I would like to say though that if any one wants to visit us, I`d be more than happy to recommend booking a villa through Haven on Earth. It`s been a pleasure from start to finish.”

G. Evans
021P 04—18/08/2008
“I had never heard of Haven on Earth before discovering your website on the internet. The service provided before travelling was efficient, but we didn’t know what to expect on arriving at our villa. As the property details hadn’t mentioned much about the standard of accommodation we didn’t expect the interior to be ‘high spec’, and it wasn’t. But that didn’t affect our enjoyment in any way, as the property had all the essentials required, and due to the excellent weather we didn’t spend much time indoors.

We found that the property was in a wonderful location with an incredible view. It was a joy to have breakfast and several evening meals at the table outside, overlooking the pool and the med. A few days were spent lazing around the pool, but when we dragged ourselves away we found the surrounding area had so much to offer with a fantastic variety of beaches. We went to Aigua Blava (twice), Sa Riera, Llafranc, and Tamariu. But visited our favourite, Sa Tuna, three times, for the great snorkelling followed by fantastic and very reasonable fresh fish at the small seafront restaurant Es Furio. We had a couple of nice meals in Tamariu at Es Dofi and in Begur, at Rostei and Can Torrades (the boat place), and lovely tapas on the square at the Aigua Clara tapas bar. We also sourced wonderful fish for the barbecue from that very busy fish shop, and great steaks from the butcher a few doors up. 

We had a truly enjoyable holiday, and were sorry to hear that this property is unlikely to be rented out next year as it is due to be refurbished and used solely by the owners. But we are certainly thinking about returning to this area once again next summer.

Last year we had a disappointing holiday on a caravan site in the south of France, due to the poor standard of accommodation and service provided by Canvas holidays. This year was a stark contrast, and it is a pleasure to be able to complement you for your service. On our return, one of the first things we did was to return to your website to search for properties for next year, and to even look at the possibility of buying a property in the Begur area. We would like to know whether property 013P would be available for a week or maybe 2 weeks around the end of July, beginning of August.”

It was wonderful, that all building was on the same level as we had 5 boys and didn`t need to worry about the steps. Although they found the backyard fascinating to climb and discover. I would also recommend the restaurant Convent – excellent food, service, atmosphere and nicely close to villa. Thank you very much for wonderful holiday.”

Your services proved to be wonderful and so helpful, the apartment looked better than the pictures on the internet, the ladies at the local agency were amazing and Begur is beautiful city.
Thank you very much for ensuring that our first trip to Spain was so memorable and enjoyable. My husband, and our 10 year old son and I, thank you very much.”
