This is a beautiful, character-filled hotel that is easily accessible but quiet and secluded. We were in a suite with a massive (California King) bed, huge marble bath, and lovely large bathroom with walk-in shower. We had a second-floor room with its own large outdoor sitting area with a view of the grounds. The restaurant was amazing: we ate breakfast and dinner each of the three days we stayed. Breakfast was included and dinner was an excellent value. The wine list was great and quite inexpensive for the quality. Service from all staff was wonderful. Our only regret is that we didn't have enough time to enjoy the large, beautiful lounge areas and we stayed too early in the season to use the pool.

Amazing room, great for a romantic gateway!

This is probably the most beautiful room and chic hotel that I have ever experienced. Amazing room, great for a romantic stay. Breakfast was also delicious with local touches and the staff very friendly and attentive. Love all Costa Brava, specially in the off season so we will definitely come back.

Only one detail

The only thing we didn’t like is that we made a reservation for a room with a balcony and instead we got a room without and with a stair; which was very complicated and dangerous for the dog. But the staff made everything possible for us to enjoy our stay.

Romantic getaway!

A very comfortable, quiet and romantic hotel for a perfect romantic getaway. Hotel is built on a large area, with no other buildings near, a very large pool, a large restaurant and a lobby, only to server 14 rooms. Even with %75 occupancy rate, we had the hotel for ourselves.. If you're looking for a short vacation with your significant other, picking his hotel would be a wise choice.

Yeah, I'll do it again

Fantastic place! Worthwhile a stay and be more than happy to stay again. Mid March is perhaps a bit early if wanting to eat dinner in the main restaurant, where we only had two choices on a set menu and it was so-so. Would make sure the a la carte menu is up and running before next try. Great breakfast though, but I don't understand why they always have to poor oil over your fried eggs!!! - automatically! Ask your guests beforehand :-) Other than that - again - a fantastic place!
