This hotel was a working farm for several hundred years before being converted to a hotel. The main building is original (with some addition and modifications of course) Guest rooms are a separate building on the grounds and nicely done. Ample closets, comfy beds, modern bathrooms (bidet too) Beautiful lounging areas in the old house - VERY charming and warm. Outdoor pool with seating patios, bar in season. Glassed in heated pool, large jacuzzi, sauna, bathroom and shower as well as a sauna. Huge mature trees all around, grass fields and forest with views of green forested hills. NO traffic noise. Only sound is the breeze in the trees and singing birds. First class restuarant for dinner with breakfast included. The staff is friendly and professional. We hate to leave! 30 min drive to the Dali museum 15 min to the beach and other small towns. Can't stop taking pictures! Reasonable rates (paid more at the Hilton) Cannot say enough.

I struggled with settling on a number for this review…read more Hotel Carlemany has a lot going for it - great location, impressive modern facade, large spacious and comfortable rooms with good air conditioning and Wi-Fi. However, for a 4* hotel, it fell a little short of my expectations. The front door of the bright impressive modern facade (5) led to a somewhat disappointing dark and rather dated looking interior (3). There was no pomp or ceremony about our arrival. The usual welcome chat and map of the city etc. were conspicuous by their absence (3 again), although perhaps this is more of a business hotel (maybe a 4). The room was spacious and overlooked the pretty square to the front. The air conditioning and Wi-Fi were excellent. The beds were comfortable. The bathroom was big and clean (maybe a 4). The staff at reception were very helpful with any requests (yes definitely a good 4). Breakfast was the deciding factor. The breakfast room was prepared with care. Tables dressed in clean white linens and polished silverware. There was a reasonable selection of juices, breads, pastries, cold meats, cereals and yoghurts. However, the "hot" food offerings really let the breakfast down. There was a selection of beans, scrambled eggs, sausages and Spanish Omelette under a hood, but they were all cold and very unappetising. On the first day of our stay, I thought maybe we had caught them on a bad day and that the following day would be better. Unfortunately, there was no change on the following day. The same "hot" food left to go cold. There was no sense of it being consumed or replenished regularly as you might expect at a busy hotel breakfast. (Maybe a 3 again) Overall, I settled on a 3.5. A 4*or 5* rating has a tendency to focus the mind on the negatives of a hotel while a lower rating encourages focusing on the positives. I enjoyed our stay and had it not been a 4* hotel, I'm sure I would have reviewed it more favourably. With a little extra effort, Carlemany could be a great hotel.

Parking garage below with elevator access. In the middle of town but quiet at night. Good shopping around the area. But you can't beat the location, you can walk to anything in the city. Historic district, restaurants , train station three blocks away (picked up rental car there). It was a really good home for three days. My wife was able to sightsee and shop to her heart's content.

I showed up in the late afternoon and the front desk person was very helpful, warm and professional. I booked a sea view room at a fair price. The room although slightly on the smaller size was well appointed. I thought the connection betweeen the bathroom and bedroom was fantastic. Basically a sliding door covers the space between the sink and the bedroom. With the door closed a mirror is above the bathroom sink. When it is open you have a full view through the bedroom and out the window to the sea. This is convenient from the bedroom side as it gives access to the sink. I did not take the breakfast at the hotel but the dining room looked spacious. The hotel as a wonderful room of cozy chairs and a mini library room. Ample tables outside along the sea with beautiful views. The hotel also sits along a pathway that follows the beach. Most convenient is the hotel is right next to the ruins. I would highly recommend this hotel.
