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

This was a great hotel. Very clean, with a wonderful breakfast buffet. The staff was courteous and accomodating. We were on the top floor, streetside, but were never bothered by any noise. A little walk to the beach, but we would definitely stay here again. We had to leave at 4 in the morning to catch our flight, and they prepared coffee and pastries for us before we left! The front desk staff speaks English during the day, we did have a little language difficulty with the night clerk . Also, he could not get the credit card machine to work when we checked out and we had to pay cash -- so be advised that could happen. Nevertheless we loved the hotel! Right across the street from a grocery store, and of course within walking distance to everything.

I'd just like to agree with the previous review. ...

We had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The staff were terrific and the rooms were very clean and spacious. It's situated on one of the main streets, but we weren't disturbed in the slightest. I would definitely stay here again.

Tossa itself is a fab little place...the culture....the food....the shops....the people....were all great!
