2/10 Poor

Zero stars
DO NOT STAY HERE. 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.

Not ideal....tired amd old
It is a 5 star hotel that has seen better days. 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.

This hotel is luxurious and charming located on a beautiful part of the Costa Brava. The pool is stunning and rooms beautifully furnished. The staff went out of their way to help us get transport in flash flooding and horrendous storms this week and we are ever so grateful for their assistance.

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.

Amazing hotel in gorgeous part of Spain
Had the most wonderful, lovely romantic time at this hotel! 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. Will be back

Grand old world hotel. Had a very romantic and relaxing getaway with my husband. Highly recommend if you're looking for some R&R. Although the town that the hotel is located within is quiet, The hotel is well situated and there are plenty of towns within a 30-40 min drive that can be easily visited. Both the hotel grounds and facilities are stunning!
