Can Panxo, former fishermen's shelter, now home to two independent stays right on the seafront, steps from the promenade and L'Escala's old town.
The Can Panxo building has a privileged location on the first line in front of the beach of L'Escala. Former fishermen's refuge at the beginning of the 20th century, it was a tavern where food and wine were served to fishermen to restore their strength after a day of work at sea.In this property we have two different units for rent. It is an apartment for eight people and a penthouse that can accommodate up to 6 people.Below are the characteristics of each one.
The apartment has 3 bedrooms: one with double bed, one with two individual beds and one with 4 beds in litter format. 1 full bathroom, 1 washbasin. A large luminous living room with open kitchen, fully equipped.
An ideal space for families or groups who want to relax and enjoy the magic of the Costa Brava.
Duplex penthouse on the top floor of the building. Magnificent terrace with outdoor furniture and spectacular views of the Mediterranean and the Bay of Roses to enjoy its essence at any time of the day. One bedroom with a king size bed and toilet and one room with two bunk beds (4 single beds). A fully equipped bathroom and a large living room with an open kitchen. Fully equipped apartment on the seafront. This property has a very special location located on the seafront in the town of L'Escala.
Can Panxo preserves the essence of the old fishermen's shelters in L'Escala. Located right on the seafront, in the heart of the maritime district and the historic center, it combines the character of traditional architecture with modern comfort so you can experience the Mediterranean right from your doorstep. Waking up to the light of the sea, strolling along the promenade, having breakfast in front of Platja de les Barques, or discovering local restaurants and shops are all part of an authentic, peaceful, and deeply Mediterranean experience.
“This is a lovely apartment with an exceptional location, perfect for exploring on foot and within walking distance of the best restaurants and shops. We were also able to walk to the ruins of Empuries, as Neus explained to us when he met us personally. She is a fantastic hostess. Thank you, Neus!”
“The apartment was perfect for our holiday, there was plenty of space for 4 adults. The area is beautiful, with a lot to do. The beach that is right outside is a lovely place to swim. The list of recommended restaurants in Neus was absolutely ideal, all amazing.”
“A newly renovated apartment with a fantastic view of the sea. It was very clean and well equipped. It is located very close to the traditional centre of l'Escala, a perfect location in this lively village.”
“Neus is an amazing host. He responds quickly and is very helpful. We would return 100% to Neus' house. It is a beautiful apartment, impeccable and with the most beautiful view of the sea.”
L'Escala begins to appear in written texts from the 16th century onwards as a small fishing and coastal port dependent on the neighbouring town of Empúries. Its use as a port, however, is much more remote. Its name -from the Latin, 'Scala'-, which was very common throughout the Mediterranean area, designates a port or dock, a regular refuge for boats. The dependency of Empúries will be reversed during the 17th and 18th centuries to the benefit of L'Escala. In 1680 the residents of the "port of L'Escala of the town of Empúries" -who already formed a neighbourhood of 80 inhabitants- manage to have their own church, and in 1766 L'Escala becomes a town and head of municipality.
