What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors rave about Sitges' picturesque charm, describing its central streets and seafront as a beautiful, movie-set-like destination. The easy access from Barcelona and the lovely beaches are frequently praised. Some find the town can get crowded, especially in summer, and parking can be a hassle.
"Fully equipped apartment in the heart of Sitges. Air conditioner, high-speed Wifi, dishwasher, and a fully equipped kitchen. It's on the second floor with a small balcony so you can enjoy being in the center of Sitges, but also it's quiet (the windows are of very good quality). I spent a week here, and it was a great experience"
