I assume you, mean UN-supervised?

Le Meridien hotel lists its address as 111 Las Rambla ..<] If this is a correct address we must assume the address of the resturant is it is approximately 115-109 Las Rambla .. While our hotel the Continental Palacete is 30 las Rambla And her sister hotel continental Barcelona is 138 las Rambla I would say La Villa is just north of the Hotel Barcelona at 109 or so Wouldn’t you agree?

In Santorini the dining room was open seating, and they also had a Greek Buffet Poolside. We opted for the Olympic Restaurant that night. Pre Cruise Get Together in Barcelona<] After an enjoyable few hours there, we hopped back on the bus back to Las Rambla in the hopes of finding a nice little cafe to enjoy a glass of wine. By total chance we found the La Villa Restaurant which is directly on Las Rambla across from the Le Meridien hotel. We sat outside and had a few glasses of very nice red wine. I spoke with the Manager, Luis to see if it would be possible for my group to have dinner there that night which he gratiously arranged. This man was the nicest guy! His english is not great but his warmth and willingness to please was without compare! He only charged us 8 Euro for 2 glasses of wine and 2 bottles of water. We returned later that night with the group of 14 and he gave us all complimentary Tapas before dinner, free sangria ( several pitchers) and presented us with platter after platter of desserts, again all on the house! The food was very good and reasonable at approximately 14 Euro per person for an entree. They have a varied menu and all ordered was excellent. Most had the seafood paella, which was presented tableside and served. We wanted for nothing and were treated like family.
