This 200 hindered year old Hotel is nestled atop the Beach of Platja De San Pol. It offers an incredible view of the bay and beaches below that are only minutes on foot. Inside the hotel is classically decorated in time appropriate furniture bringing you back in time to the 1800’s. You room however will be tastefully updated with modern amenities and current comforts. I highly recommend above all else to book reservations anywhere you want to eat, as most restaurants are at capacity prior to your arrival. There’s plenty of options to eat, relax, and shop! The service here is impeccable with all hotel staff eager to serve in anyway possible. If you love days at the pool, they offer a massive infinity edge pool cliffside with a stunning view. The food menu at the pool is very limited, but mostly bar service focused. The seating is ample so no need to rush to reserve seats, unless you are wanting a private Cabana with your own shower and restroom I’d book those ahead. The area is charming and mostly filled with Spanish locals taking holiday and second home owners that visit for the summer. I highly recommend this as a destination stay, and you have options to visit great Medieval Towns like Girona and Begur for day trips.

Worst hotel that we’ve ever been to! It’s a complete dump and looks NOTHING like their website. The reception area is old and underwhelming & the rooms are even worst! This isn’t a luxury hotel at all!! It’s smells disgusting and our room smelled musty. We’d never go back there again. Save your money! We ended up eating at Villa Mas and visiting a nicer hotel for food, drinks and ambiance! The food was inedible at Hostel La Gavina. This hotel is a 2 at best. Look at the beat up furniture and hideous decor in our room. What a disgrace!

Old school charm and spanish grandeur. The gardens and pool area enjoy great views. The Candelight restaurant and also the Garbi pool restaurant are both excellent. Services is formal and staff staff will do their best to help with anything you may need.

Beautiful views from all over the property. Accommodations were very clean. Tremendous artwork in every part of the hotel. Will be returning in May for daughter’s wedding. If the food is as good as the tasting we will be overjoyed. Staff was friendly and helpful.

A lovely hotel in a beautif setting. We had a very good classic room with a balcony and a view over both sides of the promentory. The staff were lovely and we liked the traditional design. So much care must have been taken when it was built to incorporate Catalan craftsmanship with a dash of modernity. The bathroom was excellent with a spacious shower. There were several restaurants to choose from. It was a very relaxing week and we hope to return. One of our best holidays.

Thank you for a wonderful stay; ALL the staff were charming, helpful and discreet, having known the hotel since 1950 just for drinks and lunch, it was a joy to stay and not be disappointed, to stay in a hotel that still keeps the feeling of how the old style top hotels are with the great twist of bring it up 2024 just made it a joy.

Wonderful spot to return to after 30 years. Few changes over that period. Still the same spectacular comfortable rooms, swimming pool and unique location. However the presence of russians overwhelmed our enjoyment. Seemed as if half the guests were russian. The hotel flies the flag of Ukraine prominently in support however they allow russians to disrupt the peace and quiet of this beautiful spot.
