Llerona Holidays from £242

Decent property overall, in the heart of Barcelona but rooms were rather small.

Excellent hotel (English spoken). We opted for a deluxe double room with lake and golf course view. It had a lovely sunny balcony with chairs and table. The room itself was large and airy with desk, chairs, large settee and tea and coffee making facilities, large spacious bathroom with bath robes and shoes. The breakfast, too was excellent with a huge choice of hot and cold food and freshly squeezed orange juice. (Even as non-golfers) I would highly recommend this hotel. Tip: You pay (only) a little more for the very best rooms.

The property is a lovely converted convent blending old and new; the location is midway between old town (uphill) and the beach (downhill), so plan on getting a good number of steps in, since parking is challenging in both locations. The gym is less than I would like by US hotel standards, but adequate. The breakfast offerings are modest but again adequate. Power options in the room are European standard; there are no USB or USB-C ports in the walls, so bring your converters.
