Los 10 mejores rentales vacacionales de Calonge

Calonge is a municipality on the Costa Brava that combines the medieval old town with the beach area of Sant Antoni, and this is reflected in the vacation rental offering. If you are looking for tranquility and more affordable prices, it is best to stay in the historic center, about three kilometers from the coast; there you will find charming village houses, narrow streets, and local restaurants, but you will need a car to get down to the beach. On the other hand, if what you want is to have the sea at your doorstep, the Sant Antoni de Calonge area is the most practical: there is a promenade, supermarkets, beach bars, and direct access to Cala de Belladona or Torre Valentina beach. The main difference is that: village life versus beach life, and the choice depends on whether you prefer tourist bustle or a more authentic atmosphere.

As for prices, high season (July and August) drives up rates, and here the average price is around 194 euros per night, although you can find basic studios from 75 euros if you book in advance or during weeks in June or September. Apartments dominate the offering (there are seven of the nine available accommodations), so most options are functional, with kitchen and terrace, ideal for couples or small families. If you travel in low season, prices can drop by up to 40%, and many owners offer discounts for stays of a week or more. However, keep in mind that in winter many establishments close, so spring and autumn are the best balance between climate, availability, and cost.

To get there, the most convenient option is to fly to Girona-Costa Brava (about 40 minutes by car) or to Barcelona-El Prat (an hour and a half away). If you come by car, the AP-7 leaves you at the Calonge exit, and once there, getting around is easy: there is free parking in many areas of Sant Antoni outside August, and the local bus connects the town with the beach every hour in summer. Before booking, check carefully what the price includes: some apartments do not have air conditioning (essential in July), others charge a supplement for sheets or final cleaning, and in buildings without an elevator you will have to climb stairs. It is also worth checking if the parking space is included, because in August parking on the street is a nightmare, and if the kitchen has a dishwasher or washing machine, which is not always the case. Finally, look at the cancellation policy: the cheapest options are usually non-refundable, and with changes in plans, better to have flexibility.
