Keys and access
Kept at our office, not with a neighbour. We let in tradespeople, deliveries and guests, and tell you who went in and when.

Property management in Sant Feliu de Guíxols
Sant Feliu is a town that is lived in all year, not just a resort. That is why many owners choose it, and it makes managing a house here a little different. Shops are open in February and your neighbours may be at home. The house still needs someone with a key.
What it covers
A working town with second homes around it
Sant Feliu grew around a Benedictine monastery documented from 968, which gave the town its name. The Porta Ferrada with its horseshoe arches still stands, along with the Torre del Fum and the Torre del Corn. From the mid-eighteenth century the town was one of the main cork centres in Catalonia. Around 1900 it had roughly ninety factories and about 2,700 workers.
As a result, the town has a real centre, a working port and life all year round. Around it are neighbourhoods and hillside urbanisations where holiday homes were built during the twentieth century. Sant Pol, the bay at the northern end towards S'Agaró, was mostly built from the 1920s and is the area most foreign owners know.
We keep your keys, inspect the property on a schedule you set, visit after bad weather when you ask us to, and handle pool, garden, cleaning and repairs with our own team. The drive from our office in Sant Antoni de Calonge passes Platja d'Aro and S'Agaró, so Sant Feliu is part of our regular round.
Where we work
The neighbourhoods and urbanisations we cover
The town centre, the bay at Sant Pol and the urbanisations on the hills behind have quite different needs. This is what each of them usually needs from us.
Sant Pol
The bay at the northern end, facing S'Agaró, mainly built from the 1920s, with some fine early houses including the modernista Casa Estrada. Close to the sea, so salt and exposure are the main maintenance issues.
Punta Brava
One of the urbanisations closest to the town centre, on the headland. Detached houses with sea views, steep access in places, and terraces exposed to the wind. Because it is close to town, owners here often use the house for more of the year.
Les Forques
An established urbanisation just outside the centre, which grew out of the older neighbourhoods around it. Mixed plot sizes and house ages, gardens that need regular care rather than major work, and easy access for a van.
Vilartagues
A residential neighbourhood of the town rather than a holiday urbanisation. Neighbours live here all year, so there are different expectations about noise, building work and access. Apartments as well as houses.
Les Bateries
Further from the centre, up towards the old coastal batteries that gave it its name. Larger plots, more pine and more privacy, but further for anyone who needs to reach you urgently.
Pedralta, Vilar d'Aro, Les Penyes and the other outlying urbanisations are on the same round. If you are not sure which area your house is in, send us the address.
What's included
What we take care of in Sant Feliu
Inspections, and storm checks on request
We check the house on the schedule we agree, with an extra visit after bad weather whenever you ask for one. You receive a short report, with photographs when there is something to show.
Pool, garden, cleaning, repairs
All done by our own team. Anything beyond a small job is quoted first, and you decide whether it goes ahead.
Practical
What owning in Sant Feliu is like
- A town, not a resort
- The centre is open all year, so services, tradespeople and shops are available in February. That makes it quicker and often cheaper to get work done out of season.
- Getting here
- The C-65 runs inland from Santa Cristina d'Aro to the AP-7 and on past Girona, which makes Sant Feliu the easiest of these towns to reach from the motorway. The C-31 runs up the coast.
- Platja d'Aro
- Just up the coast. Many owners here go there for the busy summer atmosphere and prefer to live somewhere quieter.
- The port
- The harbour is a working port and part of the town, not a separate marina. If you have a boat, tell us and we can include it in the round.
- Hillside access
- Some of the urbanisations behind the town are steep. After heavy rain the access road matters as much as the house, and we will check both if you ask us to.
- Letting the house
- In Catalonia a tourist licence is registered to the specific property. Ask us what applies to yours before you advertise it.
Good to know
Questions owners in Sant Feliu ask
The town is busy all year. Do I still need someone to check the house?
The centre is busy, but your house is empty while you are abroad. What the town does offer is quicker and cheaper repairs when something goes wrong. That is an advantage, not a reason to skip inspections.
Do you cover Sant Pol and the S'Agaró boundary?
Yes. The stream that marks the municipal boundary runs through what most people see as one stretch of coast, and we work on both sides of it.
Where is your office, and does the distance matter?
Our office is in Sant Antoni de Calonge, further up the coast past Platja d'Aro. Sant Feliu is part of our regular round, not a special trip, and urgent jobs are handled by our own team.
Can you handle a renovation as well as the upkeep?
Yes. We build, renovate and extend with our own team, from a new bathroom to the full renovation of an old house. You receive a quote before anything starts and have one contact throughout.
