La propiedad es un muy lindo hotel Boutique para descansar rodeado de caminos para caminar correr o andar en bicicleta rodeado de árboles. Está cerca de Begur, Pals y las playas. Lo recomiendo para descansar y luego en la tarde recorrer la costa brava. Staff muy amable, desayuno acorde a un boutique hotel de este estilo. Mi única crítica es que la propiedad no está mantenida como debería. Igualmente la experiencia fue muy buena. Lo recomiendo para descansar en un lugar sin ruido ni buñlicio

Un lugar idílico para relajarse y descansar. Muy bonito y perfectamente ubicado para pasear, cerca de la playa y del camino de ronda. Desayuno muy bueno, piscina muy agradable y sobretodo, excelente personal del hotel. Asimismo, recomendaría mejorar el Wi-Fi de la habitación, repasar la pintura de las puertas, y madera de las terrazas. Algunos detalles de mantenimiento, sobretodo por ser un hotel de esta categoría.

Great boutique hotel

Amazing hotel, beautifully decorated and well positioned. Hotel team made us feel very welcomed. Very good size pool and other amenities. Please ensure adequate staffing levels in the restaurant as only one server during bank holidays is deemed to cause delays. He did great though!

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.

Trato exquisito. Necesita mejorar en mantenimiento

Un trato exquisito por parte de todas las personas que nos han atendido. El desayuno perfecto.Los amenities del baño muy bien. El restaurante calidad-precio es correcto. El entorno bien cuidado y la piscina en buenas condiciones. Necesita mejorar en mantenimiento para ser un cinco estrellas: la limpieza justa, no funcionaba el secador, el espejo roto, el grifo del baño pierde agua y dos bombillas que no funcionan. Un tema a clarificar es la aceptación de mascotas. No consta en la web y en el desayuno y en el restaurante pueden acceder perros, hecho que provoca momentos incomodos entre los comensales. Hotel que por una categoría de 5 estrellas necesita mejorar, se encuentra en estado de decadencia.

UITSTEKEND

Een fantastische plek, de rust , de sfeer. Binnen en buiten. Je moet het meemaken om te voelen hoe de sfeer is. Wij hadden suite (kamer 25) met een prachtig uitzicht. Het enige nadeel wat daarvan is dat als je niet goed ter been bent deze kamer niet moet boeken. Er zit een lange trap in. Het naast gelegen restaurant was ook goed en niet duur. En op nog geen 10 minuten rijden ben je aan zee, Palamos . Als je in deze streek wil overnachten aarzel niet dit hotel te boeken want je mist iets speciaals.

Hôtel de charme dans un cadre magnifique

Hôtel de charme, très calme en cette saison, dans un cadre bucolique et magnifique. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié de pouvoir marcher en partant de l’hôtel, notamment jusqu’à la plage du Castel qui est à 20 minutes à pied environ. Notre chambre (suite) était exceptionnellement grande (ainsi que le lit!) et très bien décorée. Le petit-déjeuner, servi sur plateau et accompagné de différents plats chauds au choix, était copieux et de bonne qualité. Une mention spéciale à tout le staff, qui est très agréable et serviable et qui a très bien accueilli notre chien ! Seuls points d’amélioration : le débit de la Wifi et le choix des plats au restaurant (1 seul menu en semaine, qui par ailleurs est très bon).

Bel hôtel au calme (hors saison) proximité d’une belle plage. Restauration avec un bon rapport qualité prix La chambre était grande est très propre mais manque de luminosité ( lumière allumée même en journée),prochaine fois optez pour la suite avec terrasse qui est celle de la photo. Sinon personnel très sympathique un lieu à conseiller pour week-end tranquille.

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.

ni Mucho menos lo que esperaba

La habitación no correspondía con las características que mencionan en vuestra página, tras quejarme me dicen que es lo que hay, que es una grad suite, en los planos de las habitaciones la diferencia con las otras habitaciones normales es que tenía la terraza un poco más grande. Mi reserva era grand suite sin terraza, había las dos opciones, con y sin, me he sentido engañado al pagar más por algo que no me han dado. Las soluciones por parte del personal han sido nulas, eso si, muy amables
