The hotel was clean and smart, the rooms large and well equipped. We had two rooms with large terrace areas which were on the same floor as the jacuzzi (15 euros per half hour) and sun terrace, where you could sunbathe peacefully.

The hotel was right for us as we didn't require a swimming pool and the beach was just a few minutes walk away. There was a handy supermarket opposite the hotel and shops and restaurants all around.

Breakfast was very nice, buffet style with hot options available on request. Hotel staff were polite and friendly. There was no downside to this hotel in our opinion. And we loved the resort of Tossa de Mar as it had absolutely everything we required.

We stayed at the Vila de Tossa in September 2007. It is very central and is right across the road from a great supermarket. We did not experience any noise from the main road. The room was clean and comfortable. No pool but a roof terrace from which the views are wonderful. The staff were courteous but not over friendly. What lets this hotel down is the food. Breakfast ok-ish, but the evening meal, what a let down that was. It wasnt a buffet, but waiter service, so if you didnt like it, too bad. I am not such a picky eater, but the food was awful. We ended up eating out most nights after having paid for half board.
We left very early on the morning of our departure, and the night porter laid on a lovely breakfast for us, I know he was told to, but he was such a nice guy and very helpful.
Tossa itself is a lovely place, dont miss the Vila Vela.

I didn't get to see the inside of other hotels but on the outside, Vila de Tossa was a lot fancier looking than the others. I absolutely loved my stay there. Our room was absolutely gigantic: a little "foyer" at the entrance, a huge room, and even an extremely private terrace. In terms of service, the front desk people were adequately nice. I actually got served complimentary sangria while I waited for my room (you can't check in until 3 pm, essentially, but they will hold your bags for you. I have found this everywhere I travelled in Catalunya). They seemed to be trying to be as nice as possible considering one American woman lost her mind on one of the receptionists because the room was not ready.

The complimentary breakfast was really, really nice. No eggs but they had hot items like weiners. Excellent selection and very satisfying.


My only complaint is that the hotel does not have a parking lot--there are roofless outdoor parking lots (basically just a dirt pit) a couple of blocks away, at the time we were there it cost about 18 euros for the day to park.

We LOVED Tossa though, we wish we could have spent more time there. Very relaxing atmosphere, lovely people, the beach was beautiful, the 12th century walled "old town" is worth spending a few hours at and possibly even eating there, there are glass bottomed boat tours and the surrounding area is luscious.

The hotel was very basic certainly not of a standard you would expect of a four star hotel. The staff did not speak a lot of English and seemed not to understand a lot of what we said. There is no Entertainment certainly no sound proof rooms and the veiws from the rooms at the back of the hotel off Corrugated iron faced walls left a lot to be desired. Quite the worst Hotel we have ever stayed in and not to be recommended
