This hotel is horrible. Nothing about this is a "leading" hotel. We booked a "villa" that was worse than any US Airbnb you could even imagine. Beyond dated decor, terrible mold/musty smell, 1970's kitchen. Seriously, the worst. When we complained, they took us to a Grandma-style hotel room in the main house. Same smell and just overall awful. The area where the hotel is is also terrible. Do not be misled by believing this is a nice hotel. It is not. And, avoid Costa Brava generally. Do yourself a favor and drive a little further to the south of France. Or, another area of Spain. Don't make the same mistake we did. ##### Nicole Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Cristian 16 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Situación inmejorable, necesita renovación Puesta en escena muy buena, zonas comunes, piscina pero… necesita una renovación profunda, no pueden tener esos precios y tener baños de los 80 ##### Cristian Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Digna 21 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Vergane glorie, service ver onder niveau. Kamer slecht, douchen in oud bad, scheuren in muur, plankje zit los. Ontbijt service slecht, staat veel personeel, hebben geen idee. Dingen worden niet of traag aangevuld bij ontbijt buffet. Massage voor 130 euro was de slechtste ever. Eten was wel heel goed. ##### Digna Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### marie line 8 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Hôtel agréable Le petit déjeuner succulent !!!

Its being milked. You see peeling paint on some walls and the whole inside looks tired and old. The antique furniture and that slightly musty smell does not help. I would not stay again frankly. ##### Andrew Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 7 Oct 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Wonderful hotel, great staff! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carlos 29 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Unique property.

Las habitaciones necesitan urgentemente una renovación ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Hillary 6 Jun 2018 Liked: Cleanliness #### Beautiful location rooms need modern updating The property is absolutely stunning. The hotel sits on a hill overlooking the Mediterranean. Beautiful salt water pool, with a close walk to the beach. The room are very traditional with antique furnishings, the beds are extremely uncomfortable making getting a good nights sleep difficult. The staff is readily available but the style of service is more formal than friendly. The breakfast buffet is included and offers a wide variety of high quality food. The other dining options on property are quite pricey and they do not offer a casual option. We found some great places on the beach, a 15 min walk away, most notably La Clova (which we frequented for dinner on several nights of our stay) that offered fresh delicious dinner options in a more relaxed environment. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1210-p36e6fd70-6953-11e8-90f5-02426f8ac431-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1788-p34980460-6953-11e8-90f5-02426f8ac431-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1817-p35653f70-6953-11e8-90f5-02426f8ac431-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1951-p3604dad0-6953-11e8-90f5-02426f8ac431-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Hillary Stayed 4 nights in May 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Javier 22 May 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfecto Muy bien ##### Javier Stayed 2 nights in May 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 9 May 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Superb service and environment!

We arrived early and because the hotel wasn’t very full (it was alsoour anniversary) we got an upgrade to a room with a sea view. It was the most incredible view with a balcony and a table and chairs to sit on overlooking the ocean. Clean and spacious room. The quality of service was excellent and the hotel were so accommodating in every single way from reception (special shout out to Patricia) to the spa (special thanks to the girls who tailored my massage and facial to my exact needs!) and to the restaurant (special shout out to Paco). The hotel sorted out bikes to hire for us which was €30 for 5 hours and we explored the entire surrounding area which was great. Before dinner we had drinks on our balcony. Candlelight restaurant was delicious and well worth the money, although actually not overpriced compared to the local restaurants in the area as sometimes you can expect. We wanted to sit outside so they opened the area up for us even though everyone else was inside. It was a beautiful setting and there was a pianist who really completed the atmosphere. The waiters were brilliant and just exactly the type of knowledgable staff you want and expect for a hotel of this standard. Great evening and the food was incredible especially the crab starter and the turbot main! The next day we had a delicious breakfast. Lots on offer Spanish,continental and British and most hot food freshly made. Outdoor pool fab.
