Every single thing exceeded our expectations. From the moment Mat (the brilliant NZ owner) met us outside the hotel to explain the secure car parking procedure, and at every moment in our excellent four day stay, Mat and his wonderful wife were the perfect hosts. Our room was quite spacious and modern (in a classy manner) and had a massive bed and modern large bathroom. It was such a comfortable quiet space to sleep and relax in. The room also had a small and perfect balcony, with table and chairs, that gave us a wonderful view of the beach and sea, which were just a few steps away from this marvellous boutique hotel. The breakfast was excellent, with everything freshly cooked and sooo tasty and all served in the lovely first floor breakfast room. The restaurant on the ground floor was tastefully and simply decorated and very popular. If you’re going to eat there (and we did) (and the food was superb) then it is worth making a reservation to be sure of getting a table. We’ve traveled quite extensively over a long number of years so understand what makes the difference between an ‘ok’ stay and what makes for a ‘memorable’ stay and this perfectly run luxury boutique hotel is most definitely in the ‘very memorable’ category. We will return!

This hotel is a gem, located off the main square of L'Escala where we had a view of the sea from our room. There is also a lovely roof terrace to enjoy. The room was restful and relaxed with a really comfortable bed and a spacious bathroom. Matthew and Mariona are excellent hosts; warm, welcoming and professional. The continental breakfast was to a high standard with a variety of healthy and delicious options on offer. In addition, there is a first rate restaurant in the hotel which offers a varied and interesting menu- not to be missed if in L'Escala! We hope to be back soon. Thank you Mariona and Matthew for looking after us so well.

There is nothing we did not like.

Everything was totally perfect, from the welcoming of the staff to the fantastically spacious & beautifully decorated rooms with sea views, The hotel was quiet & we were lucky enough to have a slot in the hotel car parking facility. Everywhere was exceptionally clean. Also, it was great to have the opportunity to receive several English-language news stations. Having a restaurant in the hotel is a real bonus as is having use of the roof terrace. The hotel is perfectly situated close the the main beach & all the delightful shops selling a variety of goods from clothing to delicious local products. A return visit is definitely on the cards! Thank you Matthew & team

Very welcoming, caring and sincerely kind staff. Our plane was delayed and we were therefore scheduled to arrive at 04:00 AM. Matthew (one of the owners) waited for us all night so we could check in. During our stay both Mariona and Mathew continued to be helpful and just great hosts, which made our stay a real pleasure. The room and bathroom are modern and were perfectly clean. The location of the hotel is very central, in close vicinity of the beach and several restaurants and cafes. Breakfast includes coffee and freshly pressed orange juice.

We loved our stay: the stylish decor in a historic building - the salt house and its location moments from a lovely beach and lots of cafes. The owners, Catalan local and her New Zealander husband are very welcoming and laidback. Breakfasts were excellent and we had a huge enjoyable dinner in the restaurant with local anchovies and tomato bread and charcoal grilled fish and flan. We definitely plan on returning .

Might be good to put beach towels in the room ?

nicely equipped room, good location close to the sea, very familiar ambiance

if you come by car you have to organise a bit how to get your luggage to the hotel and then look for a parking. If you know you see it is well organised parking on reserved places in the public garage being in 10 min walking distance

Lovely place to stay, run by lovely people. Nice location – easy to spend the days exploring beaches and such on foot or bike, then spend the night in town. Clean, thoughtfully arranged rooms. Restaurant is also good.

If you're coming by car, call ahead to ask them about it...the only way to bring the car in front of the hotel to unload your luggage is to drive into a pedestrian area, past signs that threaten you with a 200 Euro fine. It's ultimately no problem and Matthew (co-owner) will work everything out for you, but better to understand the situation in advance.

The Taverna has been tastefully renovated to a high standard. The room was spacious with a large bathroom with rainshower. Breakfast was excellent. The location, metres from the central beach, restaurants and bars can't be bettered. The proprietors are very friendly and welcoming, taking time to talk to their guests.

The only downside was that the coffee sachets weren't replenished for the second night.

Exceptional accommodation. Exceptional location. Exceptional restaurant. Exceptional breakfast. Exceptional owners who made us so incredibly welcome. What else can we say? Highly recommend. We will most definitely be back.

This was our second visit and we still loved everything about this hotel. Mariona and Matthew are perfect hosts, the room was delightful with a little balcony and sea view. Breakfasts were delicious. L'Escala is a beautiful place and this hotel is the icing on the cake. The restaurant downstairs is also excellent.

Nothing. Nada.
