Los 10 mejores rentales vacacionales de Begur

If you are looking for vacation rentals in Begur, the first thing you should know is that the town is divided into two very different atmospheres. On one hand, there is the old town, with its cobbled streets, the Porta des Món square, and a more Mediterranean village vibe; on the other, the coastal area, with coves like Aiguablava, Sa Riera, or Fornells, where most accommodations are designed for walking to the beach. In the old town, you will find more bar and restaurant life, but you will have to take the car to go swimming. On the coast, however, prices go up, but you gain in tranquility and not depending on the vehicle for the essentials. If you travel with children or as a couple and want the beach at your doorstep, the Aiguablava area is the most sought after; if you prefer market, bakery, and local atmosphere, stay near the center.

The differences between areas are also noticeable in the type of accommodation. In the historic core, renovated apartments and village houses predominate, charming but sometimes without an elevator and with narrow streets. On the coast, however, there are more developments with villas and houses with garden or pool, like those you will find in Cap sa Sal or around Sa Riera. Prices vary quite a bit: the most economical rental is around 166 euros per night, but the average is 315, so the difference between a studio in the center and a house with sea views can be notable. If your budget is tight, look in the low season or midweek; in June and September prices drop compared to July and August, and even then the weather is usually good.

To get there, the most practical option is the car. From Girona it takes about 45 minutes via the C-31, and from Barcelona just over an hour and a half. The nearest airport is Girona-Costa Brava, although many low-cost flights arrive in Barcelona. Once there, getting around without a car is complicated: there are buses connecting Begur with Palafrugell and some coves, but with limited frequencies, especially outside the season. If you stay on the coast, the car is almost essential for grocery shopping or going out for dinner in the village. Before booking, check carefully whether the accommodation includes a parking space, because in summer parking in Begur is a nightmare. It is also worth checking if the kitchen is equipped for cooking, if there is air conditioning (not all old houses have it), and if the final cleaning is included or paid separately. In the HotelsCasa listing, there are currently eight available accommodations, with an average rating of 3.6 stars, so you have varied options: from begurhome, a central apartment, to Apartaments Aiguablava or Ca la Pepa, as well as the lofts at Cap sa Sal. Compare photos and previous guest reviews carefully, because in this type of rental, details make the difference.
