Of course the hotel by itself is beautiful, the room is nice BUT without tv and soap in the shower (but you pay around 140E per night)! The atmosphere would have been much better if the stuff at the reception were more professional, an arrogant way of speaking and no willing to help surprised us at the first day we... More

Right on the beach on a magic coastline, beautiful simple white architecture, interesting furniture and decoration, a good spa, lovely gardens, great staff. Rooms are simple but with balconies and sea views. And fantastically they do NOT have televisions! How wonderful! The restaurant and buffet are both excellent, really good food. Really friendly service too. I want to go back... More

This aged but renovated hostal is located in the wild coast of Catalunya, nearby the well known Escala but enough away to just have calm around you. The views from the rooms are more than spectacular, I even god butterflies on my... More

We stayed along with another couple here after spending a few days in Barcelona. The hotel is on a wonderful strand of beach and with a glorious view. We enjoyed our stay here, but it is not a quiet hotel. There must be very little insulation in the building as you can here the people in the rooms next door.... More

Dear guest, thank you very much for your comments. As you said the isolation in old building is not the best due to the old construction parameters, this winter we are planning to improve this issue in that area of the hotel. Thank you again for letting us know your opinion that help us to improve. Kind regards. Albert Marin... More

Breakfast was wonderful with very fresh ingrediants and the best orange juice I can remember. Lovely walk to nearby village further round the coast with excellent restaurants. Right on the beach and yet in walking distance of the town. Good service.... More
