This is a wonderful, tastefully designed house with great common rooms, restaurant, a library and a huge terrace right at the beach. The location next to the ruins of EMPURIES is exceptional and offers great walls to the nearby town of St.Marti d’Empuries and L’Escala. The beach is perfect for swimming and for families with children. The hotel also has an outdoors café, that offers food based on old Roman recipes and drinks.

The rooms are a bit on the small side, but quite well designed. The restaurant is excellent, but the menu is a bit too small if you stay longer. It becomes a bit repetitive. There are also very, very few vegetarian options. It would be also good if snacks e.g. sandwiches were available when the restaurant is closed (between 5 and 8 pm) as there is no other option to eat nearby.

Lovely hotel right at the beach, & a short walk into the town (approx 20 mins) There was a great choice on offer at breakfast & the lunch/dinner menu was excellent. The bar/restaurant terrace was a great place to eat or relax with a drink. Staff were very helpful. The room was very comfortable, spacious & quiet

The room was a superior double with sea view which was listed as having a terrace. I had hoped this was large enough to use for sunbathing but it was only wide enough to sit at the table & chairs provided. One other small niggle was the sliding door that doubled as the toilet & shower door, which was very rusty on the inside, not what I expected compared to the quality of the room otherwise.

This was our third stay at this lovely hotel. I always book a sea-view room with balcony, and we enjoyed sitting there, watching the sea and the pedestrians and cyclists passing by. Having stayed at this hotel before, we knew what to expect, and absolutely loved our restaurant meals and the copious and delicious breakfast. We enjoy the location and the friendly staff very much and would return again for a 4th stay.

We were disappointed not to be seated in the restaurant on our second night, but rather in the breakfast room, which lacks the feeling of dining in a restaurant. I don't know whether the other patrons, arriving at the same time as we, had a reservation (which we had made in the afternoon) but they were led like us, without explanation, away from the restaurant, despite its empty tables, to the breakfast room. To create a better ambience, I asked our lovely server if he would dim the lights (which he did). He was a wonderful server in every respect. Not being able to eat dinner in the more atmospheric restaurant was the only disappointment of our stay.

Breakfast was great, Very nice staff. Swimming at the nearby beach at dawn and walking to nearby villages, San Martín and L´Escala.

It is a hotel near the beach, and there was no shower or a simple faucet in the way from the beach to the room to take out the sand. (And this summer public showers at the beaches don´t work because of the drought. Also there was a built in lighting next to the bathtub, which, while it looked very nice, might make you worry about the proximity of water and electrical current, although it certainly must have met all safety standards.

A lovely hotel, with interesting architecture, wonderful staff, a decent gym and actually a very good restaurant (which the ratings didn’t reflect tbh). I also liked the location a lot. It’s not downtown, but the surroundings are therefore much more serene and the short walk to the centre was perfectly fine along the shore.

- Hotel parking was poorly indicated, I turned right one entrance too early and found myself in a tricky spot with a fully loaded motorcycle - My first room (garden view) smelled like it might’ve had a slight humidity issue recently. My second room (sea view) was more pleasant.

The hotel is gorgeous and in an ideal location. The rooms and the surrounding area are lovely and the breakfasts were just fantastic. Really enjoyed the property.

One small thing was the presence of a Nazi Swastika on a retaining wall on the main road leading to the hotel. We were actually quite shocked to see this and asked that it be removed. The people at the front desk were sympathetic but at the end of the day told us that they couldn't do anything about it so we had to see this for the entire time that we were at the hotel. It was very upsetting and something that should have been addressed immediately.

Absolutely spectacular. Gorgeous views, beautiful landscaping, and gorgeous design and touches throughout the hotel make this hotel the perfect spot for a relaxing stay.

The only thing that could really improve is the staff. Overall they could be friendlier. The girl at the restaurant answered our questions about the menu in Catalan even though we were asking in English and don't speak Catalan. The breakfast staff had an attitude.

this hotel is not luxurious but it is full of charm in front of a very nice beach and promenade which gives access to many beaches and surrounded by nature. The restaurant is very good and for the quality well priced. The staff at the restaurant and the cleaners were also great, our room was absolutely cleaned to perfection every day.

The hotel has seen is best days already, there are lots of little things falling apart that did not bother us but they could be fixed easily. The service is a bit hit and miss, the staff at the reception could be more welcoming and explain a bit more the facilities etc. The breakfast is not very good, little choice of sweets (but in Spain that is often the case), the a la carte also has nothing sweet (pancakes etc).

The Hotel is in probably one of the best locations in the Cista Brava. The Hotel is fantastic with great interior design and what a view as you walk through reception into the bar and restaurant. Food was great, restaurant was great and what fantastic value for money. Especially if you visit out of season. We visited in March and what a great night Michael

Rooms were small

The hotel is perfectly located on the one of the best beaches in Costa Brava. Safe and well kept peaceful and beautiful place, surrounded by amazing nature, walking paths, just a short walk from L’Escala with all its charming restaurants and bars. I love this hotel, it’s our second getaway here and it’s a great experience! It’s also dog-friendly so we could take our chihuahua with us.

Everything is immaculate! High cleanliness standards, amazing design and quality of mater used, friendly staff.
