We had Room 201 on the front of the hotel. Located in an elevated position this hotel has breathtaking views of Calella de Palafrugell, the cove and the seascape beyond. We were also overlooking the extensive garden and pool area, busy during the day and quiet at night. There were plenty of cabanas, (free of charge), and sun beds around the pool as well as tables and chairs amongst the trees, where you could sit and enjoy a drink, coffee or iced cream from the pool bar whilst enjoying some respite from the sun, if required. The room was quite big with a good sized balcony that could accommodate 4 people. It was immaculately clean, freshly decorated and well appointed with crisp white bed linen, plenty of clothes hanging / shelf storage space, a small flat screen TV, armchair, high quality black out curtains, air conditioning and double patio doors opening onto the balcony. There was an easily controllable thermostatic shower in the bath and it looked brand new. It could do with a bath mat though as it was a little slippery. The hotel reception area was immaculate with light coloured upholstered settees and chairs, coffee tables and very tasteful art on the walls. The restaurant served hot and cold breakfast, lunch and dinner. We ate breakfast each morning and the selection was very good, including cereal, scrambled eggs, bacon, beans and sausage. We also had 2 evening meals which again was very good. Also, they were very good value for money though. The staff were all friendly, helpful and engaging, particularly Marina. We really enjoyed a relaxing and enjoyable time here and although the walk to the town, promenade and restaurants is quite steep, takes 10 minutes, and is mentioned in a number of the reviews, we would definitely go back. Plenty of free Parking also.

Nothing

Great location, very calm and peaceful. Hotel was great but not quite the Ritz - comfortable but basic room with a small balcony. As has been said by others, the facilities were slightly tired but did the job well. Pool was great, buffet breakfast was above OK but below great. Ten minute walk to beach, all downhill but easy steps. Spar supermarket on the way to the beach was very handy. Parking was plentiful but on occasion had to park on the street behind hotel (free). All in all, a nice hotel away from the noise of town/beach set in lovely grounds of its own.

Pretty much all was fine. Being a super fussy type, I didn’t like the European bolster pillow (I never do) and hate the smell of fabric softeners on the linen and towels - these are typical gripes for me and not just specific to this hotel.

Second time we have checked in here. Ideal for us as a family as we had a 7 and 8 year old who had their own beds on a mezzanine in the same room. The pool was perfect and provided both shade and sun spots depending on your MO. Not many places in callela have swim pools and unless you can be at the beach all day with kids, it is great to have both options. A short walk into the hub. Place has lifts to make life easier and we loved the buffet breakfast and rated the food better than places we went out to. Highly recommend!

Nothing... it is charming

This is heaven. For the money we were blown away. The room was a good size, balcony was private whilst having a peaceful view across the trees and hills to the ocean. Nice and quiet at night. An easy stroll down to the most beautiful swimming spot. A good hike back but you can always jump straight into the swimming pool and grab a refreshing ale when you are back at the hotel again. Good value meals too. Used the laundry service which was brilliant. Plenty of free parking. Shower a bit hot and cold but it is hard to find the perfect shower! Restaurant staff wonderful. Reception wonderful bar one!

I thought I could hire a bike there or nearby but would have had to go into palafrugell town. Missed out on some cool trails.

Excellent stay, the rooms are incredible, we took one with an ocean view and a balcony which was really good. The breakfast was amazing, one of the best I've had comparing to other hotels. Nice pool and restaurant area, it didn't feel crowded at all even though we went in peak season.

The staff isn't super friendly. I get that it was a busy time, but we had some minor inconveniences that could have been avoided. Nothing major, and it was probably simply an overstressed staff member. It was also pricey, but also we went in August, so I'm sure off-season prices are more reasonable. For the area and the season it was great value for money.

Large rooms and gardens in a quiet non touristed neighborhood with upper views of Calella de Palafrugell’s seashore and just a short stepped walk away. Worthy of a return visit. Well suited for all types of visitors such as families (manicured pine forest playgrounds and a large sunny pool), corporate groups, Holiday makers, local residents, Peregrinos, venues like weddings, and solo/adventurers (ViesVerdes is super closeby).

Initial visit required directions from a local delivery driver, then good signage led me to the steep driveway. A delightful reward for an active day of travel. Jacuzzi (in suite) was a plus.

Beautiful grounds. Swimming pool. Hot tub. Great Buffet breakfast.  However, breakfast that was not included in the room, was expensive for adults. 10 euros would make more sense, versus 20 euros. Friendly and helpful staff.

Breakfast not included was too expensive for adult. It should be €10. . Five people in the duplex was crowded. They should not have charged us for the extra bed. The staff had no knowledge of water, activities in Callel. We found a tourist information desk in LeFranc. (Only by walking in the Lefranc). A rather long distance to walk uphill from the Sea. Ok for young, not good for elderly.

The staff was excellent - the reception desk was efficient and informative, housekeeping was attentive, and the service staff at the restaurant was friendly and made excellent cocktails (we forgot to ask her name, but she's wearing glasses - she deserves commendation!). It only takes 5 minutes to get to the beach. Our room had a spectacular view of the beach and the town.

The coffee needs to be improved. The jacuzzi isn't always available and needed cleaning.

We stayed in the family cabin. There was a lot of space and the bedding was very comfortable. The location was close to the pool and to the street and it was very easy to get into town. The hotel had a lovely pool and bar area and a very cute train for children to ride once a day. The hotel is very close to the Callela center but just outside so it feels a peaceful and relaxing compared to the bustling town

The family cabin did not have hot water in one bedroom and there was no fridge to keep beverages cold. I cannot speak to the actual hotel rooms. At times it seemed a little understaffed

The hotel grounds were wonderful, even if they could use a bit more care. The staff was wonderful - all of them. We booked a room with a terrace and sea view - very nice. Breakfat was very good.

The room was too small and could have used more furniture - only 1 chair, no room to put your suitcases. No mini fridge. The "free" parking has actually only a few cramped parking places. If you don't find a free place, you have to park on the street and even there it may be difficult to find a space. The hotel restaurant was limited in quality and choice.
