“Incredible stay. If you love charm, impeccable style, and an unreal setting — this is your place. The quality and price of the dinner was outstanding and the overall service was fantastic. Very pet friendly , our dog had an incredible time at the beach and fields. Thank you Qin for the wonderful breakfast service and the other staff members for making it memorable for us.”
“We booked a table in the restaurant for dinner with friends on New Years’ Eve! It was great! Everything was wonderful and of high standards; the food (a beautiful set menu inclusive of wine, cava, water), the service, the entourage, and great staff who did everything to make you enjoy the evening! And all of this for a very friendly price, given the high quality. We love this place and will definitely go back there!”
“Hotel: amazing 5stars boutique with unique pieces of art and furnitures. Service top level, breakfast perfect. Need serious maintenance but still remains of exception. Restaurant: overall not good at all, simply an obvious lower standard than the 5stars hotel it is attached to. It is for nearby camping guests. Sea food clearly not fresh. Cant have such offer of quality products in a 28euros menu.”
“Still giddy about the gem of a hotel we got to experience this weekend. Every detail was a delightful discovery - from the doors leading to the back garden, the art pieces on the walls, the silverware, the massive shower, the library full of books in various languages, the beautiful breakfast spread, to my personal favorite - the white slipcover armchair that I wanted to take home and make my own little nap nook. It was the perfect balance between history and charm - that felt both elegant yet extremely inviting and homey. The staff was very warm and helpful from the moment we arrived. Not to mention we had the most gorgeous beaches and coves less than 10 minutes away by car. I saw some reviews about it being outdated, but personally I didn't find anything to be outdated at all. In fact, we wouldn't have loved it so much here if it had been more modern than it was - that is what gave the hotel its charm. As much as I want to keep this place my own little secret, it would be doing such a disservice to this beautiful establishment! I highly recommend staying here, and I will most certainly be back. Thank you so much to Joaquin and the rest of the staff for making our short stay such a pleasant one.”
