Wonderful stay in casa cal domino were we had really everything to enjoy our holiday. (And we are used yo a lot). We had the best reception ever from the owner nigel with also a big welcome’s pack in the refrigerator . So hospitality 11 at 10 for example we hired electric bikes and 30 minutes later there was electric gor charging them in the garage. We looked for a dog beach and few time later he phoned town council and send us the places. Thx a lot nigel for making our holiday even more beautiful.
My family and I have been coming to Nigel's now for twelve years now! It's fair to say we absolutely love this place - it's home from home (although admittedly we are missing the glorious infinity pool, jacuzzi and sauna back home!) Nigel is a fabulous host and always available for any questions we may have or to share hot tips for visits of the region. Perfectly situated, everything is but a short drive away. From hikes to beach days, from an abundance of local supermarkets to local restaurants, there is something for everybody. Over the years, we have brought the occasional guest with us - there's plenty of space for eight people and the villa is always brilliantly equipped for us all. Not to forget the view from the villa that restores the soul. Thank you, Nigel, for sharing this special place!
Nigel a été très disponible pendant notre séjour : merci à lui pour le pain et les croissants lors de ces visites ! Très belle maison. Piscine très agréable avec une très belle vue. Jacuzzi très apprécié le soir (et même en journée par mes ados !). Nous avons fait farniente pendant 15 jours : quel bonheur !! Merci pour tout !
Nigel is a great host! When we arrived we found a full fridge with cool drinks and food. What a nice surprise! The house is beautiful situated on a hill and is very clean.
My family of 6 adults and two dogs have just returned from a wonderful week at this villa. Nigel welcomed us on our arrival with a fridge full of food and drinks and showed us around his wonderfully well equipped house, with great instructions on the use of the jacuzzi, pool and sauna. He even arrived with cava and croissants a few days later which was incredibly generous and well received! The views from every room are breathtaking with so many beautiful terraces to enjoy the sun, food and drinks from you are spoilt for choice. The kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms are all very modern and tastefully done. If you want a luxurious place to stay and relax we couldn’t recommend it enough and we cannot wait to return in the future.
Thank you for accomodating us with such short notice! Fabulous view and he jacuzzi was a blessing. Upon arrival plenty of good was made available. We all really enjoyed our stay.
It is difficult to say what we prefer. Everything is nice in the villa Cal Domino. All the rooms are as practical as luxurious. The house is very big and have a real charm. The kitchen is functional. And the terrace with the little lanterns is like a studio decor because is so perfect. The swimming pool and the hot tube are excellent. From each room, you can have an incredible view of the green valley, the urbanization and the sea in the back ground. The value of Nigel’s welcome is “ten stars”, very nice and attentive. Our arrival was well prepared. The fridge was with beverages for everybody, local food and a very big fruit basket was on the table. Thank you Nigel. Don’t change anything! If you come in Calonge, try to stay in the villa Cal Domino. We totally recommend.
Nous garderons un excellent souvenir de nos vacances passées dans cette villa avec nos 3 enfants et notre petit teckel . L'accueil a été parfait, la villa très confortable et conforme à la description, la piscine et la vue très agréables. Un grand merci à Nigel pour son accueil. A recommander sans hésiter. Bruno
Han sido una de nuestras mejores vacaciones, sin duda. La villa tiene unas vistas espectaculares, un jardín muy cuidado con piscina y jacuzzi espectaculares. Nigel es un anfitrión detallista, atento y amable. La casa cuenta con todas las comodidades, y en la cocina no falta un detalle. La ubicación es perfecta, cerca de supermercados y playas únicas como "Platja Castell". Sin duda repetiremos, y lo recomendaremos a familiares y amigos. Gracias por todo, nos sentimos como en casa.
Hemos pasado unos días en Cal Domino y ha sido Genial. El lugar es precioso, muy buenas vistas, la casa impecable y el servicio impecable. La piscina, yacuzzi, sauna y una cocina increible y muy bien equipada nos ha permitido disfrutar cada día y momento. Los niños estan deseando volver. Repetimos seguro.
Très bon séjour. Villa très accueillante. La piscine et le spa permettent de vrais moments de détente. Nigel le propriétaire est toujours à l'écoute et très chaleureux. Très bonnes vacances
Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour en famille dans la maison de Nigel qui a un sens de l’accueil peu commun..à notre arrivée nous attendait un frigo bien rempli avec de quoi se sustenter et boire pour nous remettre du voyage !!La maison est très agréable et très bien équipée. La piscine est parfaite et le jacuzzi un plus très très appréciable. De très belles criques aux alentours .. notre préférée la fosca, une magnifique plage entourée de pinèdes avec une eau cristalline..une semaine c’est court pour tout découvrir. Une maison comme celle-ci accueillant les chiens est à retenir pour ceux qui comme nous ne peuvent se passer de leur toutou pendant les vacances. Nous reviendrons.. Merci Nigel
A wonderful place to stay. You arrive to an amazing welcome pack full of fresh food and drink and the whole house is wonderful with everything you could need. Nigel is great - there if you need him but very discreet at the same time. The views from the pool are lovely and there is shade for those who need it. A great 2 weeks, thank you so much.
Great place to stay, fully recommend. Lovely pool and you have the sun all day but there is shade if you are too hot. Great kitchen, it's all there. Surrounding area is lovely, over looking Calonge and the castle. Close to the supermarkets and little shops and a few historical villages to visit. Nigel the owner is superb, very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The stay was worth every penny a big thanks to Nigel

Hello ! I'm Nigel and I'll be your point of contact for your stay at Casa Cal Domino. I am the owner and manage our guests myself, so whatever your query, I'll be there to answer it and you won't have to wait for an agency to get back to you. I moved to Catalunya in 2004 from the UK after a career as a pilot in the RAF. I love this area for the diversity... you're not too far from the sea or the mountains and I love the outdoors life of hiking, biking and skiing. In fact I met my Galician wife hiking the Collsacabra mountains here and now we have two little Catalan daughters. We both know this area very well and whatever you need, we are happy to advise you. If you do not speak Spanish (or Catalan) we can organise taxis, bike rentals or make restaurant bookings for you. Just ask or wend me a WhatsApp.....
