    Pros +

    • Nice and quite, well located, close to walking paths and to the sea, beautiful region.
    • Very friendly small hotel
    • The staff are fantastic. Kim and Sonya at the front desk we’re always super attentive and made us cappuccinos at any hour and made sure we had Bikes and everything was perfect. The girls that worked at the breakfast are also fantastic as well as the awesome girl who cleans your room faster than you can eat breakfast. The staff truly sets the place apart. Love how they treat Matilda and Machete (the cats).

    Cons -

    • NOt looked after, pool not cleaned and umbrella by pool all broken and not removed !!!!!
    • Restaurant was disappointing. Such a beautiful location but the dinner did not match the quality of everything else by far.
    • The meal at the restaurant was terrible. Last time the large restaurant was open and was excellent. This time was limited menu for hotel guests only and food was very disappointing

    Gorgeous property and very unique. The rooms are huge and well decorated. The decor and facilities were top notch! The breakfast was A+

    Very nice even during the low season

    Very friendly stuff. Space is generous

    9KarenPosted on: 3-23-2025

    Lovely room, and overall building and grounds were lovely and well kept. The breakfast was superb

    The food in the restaurant was mediocre

    10MishelPosted on: 3-19-2025

    Everything was wonderful—the atmosphere, the staff, and the beautiful rooms. Everyone is very kind to animals; they even brought bowls and a bed for my dog to the room. The property is beautiful, with a large pool. It’s very peaceful and quiet.

    There were issues with the internet—Wi-Fi barely worked in the lobby and was completely unavailable in the room

    10PhilipPosted on: 3-13-2025

    Rooms were really beautiful and super comfy bed. Breakfast was excellent and the restaurant meals were good value for money. All the staff were extremely helpful and pleasant.

    10TriciaPosted on: 1-28-2025

    Lovely staff, great location, fabulous facilities, including a really good restaurant, and lots of space to exercise our little dog.

    9DmitryPosted on: 1-24-2025

    Great villa, amazing beach in 15 minute walking distance. Charming friendly personnel. Good breakfast and great value dinner. We love cats and furry friends on the property were a great positive surprise.

    The water wasn’t hot enough to comfortably take a bathtub.

    We love the location of this hotel. This was our third stay there. Never had a problem previously. The majority of the staff are charming especially the Argentinian gentleman and the breakfast staff.

    There were ants on the breakfast table, two days running,and not just one or two. During our last evening we started to pack our bags and found ants in our baggage in our bedroom. We had noticed a few ants in the toilet previously but did t expect to have loads in the bedroom. The staff attended to the problem whilst we were out having dinner and we were offered another room, which we refused as it was our last night and we were going out for dinner.on our return from dinner we entered the reception area, and as it is usual for us, we requested a drink from the bar. We were refused and told that it wasnt possible to have an alcoholic drink. We could have tea or coffee. We were astounded as this is a five star hotel. We had never been refused a drink from the bar before. We found it bizarre, why would we be refused ? We reported the matter to the manager the following morning upon leaving. We were very unhappy and quite irritated. Most evenings after dinner we have enjoyed a nightcap at the bar, why would we be refused ? It’s part of our holiday. We have written to the hotel and as yet still not received an explanation.

    So quiet, absolutely stunning location, and just visually very pleasing to look at. Gorgeous gardens, interior design so comfortable and really welcoming and chic. The personal breakfast displays were DELICIOUS, all the hot food options were cooked to order, and the fruit selection changed everyday.

    There was a little mould in the bathroom in our suite, but other than that— loved it.

    9ElvioPosted on: 1-13-2025

    Lovely stylish hotel set in the Catalan country side but close to the beach which is only a gentle 15 - 20 min walk away through a small forest leading to a picturesque bay. It is a very dog friendly hotel. We and our 2 Golden Retrievers enjoyed the stay very much.

    The restaurant did unfortunately not meet the quality standards you would expect from a 5 star hotel but probably due to low season.

    10KevinPosted on: 11-29-2024

    Fabulous location, beautiful building inside & out, set in grounds of 10 plus acres and dog friendly

    10FrederikePosted on: 10-25-2024

    Everything, extremely beautiful place, spacious rooms, very helpful and kind staff

    Everything was fine

    8MiguelPosted on: 10-21-2024

    Location, calmness. Quaint room

    Lots of humidity, bad pillows

    8NadeždaPosted on: 10-17-2024

    We liked the place, tranquility

    The breakfast was perfect for couple of days, but for a 5 days stay not so much as it was the same every day

    10KarolisPosted on: 9-28-2024

    Unique, calm, clean, respectful personnel.

    Maybe no daytime snacks

    8VaidaPosted on: 9-26-2024

    Location, house itself

    Big comfortable bed, but pillows are not comfortable at all.:)
