About
Hi, I am Darryl the property manager for Villa El Espanglo and have rented it successfully with my wife Marina for over 12 years with several returning guests during that time and plenty of positive feedback!
During and after Covid we took a break from holiday rentals made improvements to the property, the latest being a large pool house with bathroom, bar and chill out area.
Mil Palmeras is a lovely resort and there are very few rental villas with private pools available in such a great location close to the beach.
If you prefer more of a hiking holiday I now have a lovely villa Casa Tordera (ref: 441737) available in the market town of Tordera between Barcelona and Girona and near the Costa Brava resorts of Blanes and Lloret de Mar.
If you are on a budget and looking for something smaller to rent in Mil Palmeras I also manage bookings for Casa Carmen (ref: 360244) which is a 2 bedroom Vikingo bungalow by the Olympia pool bar and restaurant and 8 mins walk to the beach so look forward to hosting you at either property this year!

4 friends staying, fantastic location and beach, value for money, close to all amenities and easy walk to beach.
Lots of outside space around pool and on different levels, we enjoyed eating of an evening on the top level veranda with lovely views, also closer to the kitchen.
Only down side was the pool was a bit chilly ( I don’t think it was heated) but apart from that a great stay.

The outside space is great even better than the pictures. The villa is in easy walking distance of a number of restaurants, the beach and a good reasonably priced supermarket. No need for a car unless you want to use it for airport transfers and trips out. Darryl, the owner, was really helpful in arranging taxi transfer from the airport for my daughter and with restaurant recommendations. Overall a very relaxed stay as the villa had all we wanted and was so conveniently located. If you go to Zenia Boulevard shopping centre it has a great selection of places to eat. Aquopolis water park wasn't great. If you are going get there early and budget for extras - charges for sunbeds and parking.

We had a fantastic stay at Villa El Esplango. The villa is perfect inside and out. The pool is perfect for a swim and for a family wanting to splash about together. The pool house was a great outdoor space to relax in out of the sun during the day.
The location is great. Easy walk to the beach and local restaurants all within 10mins.
Communication with Darryl was excellent and the tip to get shopping delivered saved us walking back from the local supermarket with lots of water, wine and beer!

Nice house with a large garden, private swimming pool, and a perfect poolhouse.
Quiet area, and the house had realy good space for our family of five.
Short distance to local shop with bakery, butcher and groceries.
Close to beach, and many restaurants.
The local padle club was realy nice, and was open from 08 - 23
Easy to communicate with owner.
We realy want to come back.

We stayed in Villa El Espanglo beginning of September, its absolutely stunning especially the outside space. The area is lovely and quiet and the villa itself is secluded making the outside space very private with lovely views. Darryl (the owner) kept in contact the whole time and even offered help with arranging taxis. The only downside I would say, like others, is it would benefit from a dishwasher but there was only two of us so not too much of a problem. The king size bed was slightly too hard for our liking but that's just personal preference and the bed could have done with a top sheet and a light blanket rather than just an empty duvet cover!
I would definitely recommend and we hope to return, maybe next year.

the Villa is very spacious and great for families and couples. the star of the show is the outdoor area and the pool. the area is really large, very secluded, peaceful and quiet with lots of loungers and seating. amazing to have a bathroom at the pool area too.
there's no dishwasher in the villa, which I missed. it's a very short walk to the beach and to some bars and restaurants. we were a little out of season, so some were closing.
there is a list of house rules, which of course are always needed, but I would also like a list of tips and hints, how to work the washing machine, the hob, and how to access the fuse box. we had a major storm when we were there and the power went out. Overall we had a fantastic stay

We have recently stayed at Villa el Espanglo for 2 weeks. From the start and until we left the communication with the owners was great. Very helpful with advice and organising transfers to and from the airport.
The villa itself is absolutely great. Three good sized bedrooms and two bathrooms. Great open plan living, kitchen and diner and the air con was a blessing. But it's the outside that was so special! with the fantastic size swimming pool and the outdoor pool area for shading. We were spending our days outside to sunbathe, read, sleep and cool off in the pool. The area itself is superb. 1km (1o min walk) to the beach and all the restaurants and bars. There is a small supermarket, pharmacy and a bar on the way. The location is perfect! If you want to wonder a little further then 30 min walk is Pilar with its marina and lots of other places. We had a fantastic stay and would recommend the place and the owners to family and friends! Thank you Darryl and Marina!

We have just spent 12 nights at the villa and had a really lovely holiday in the Spanish sun!
The villa is in a good location within walking distance of the beach, restaurants and supermarket so we didn’t need to hire a car on this occasion.
The airport transfer taxi (organised by the owners for us) was great and we arranged a couple of excursions directly with her instead.
The outdoor space and pool area is fantastic! There are plenty of sun loungers, as well as seating in the shade.
The villa itself is very private, secure and not overlooked at all.
Communication with the owners Darryl and Marina was great, very straightforward and clear from start to finish.
Thankyou Villa El Espanglo for a lovely lovely holiday. 😊
