This is a beautiful little hotel in the quiet town of Gratallops…read more We arrived late and they kept the kitchen open for us. The food was really good! We realised quickly that we'd ordered too much and it was getting late so we asked them to stop cooking. I think they were relieved. If we had arrived earlier we could have sat at the outdoor terrace which had a lovely view. The rooms are very comfortable and unique. The amenities were very nice. There's cool art all around. The WiFi kind of, sometimes worked and the owner didn't seem keen on us staying at the bar too long after dinner. One of our rooms had a sitting area so we moved there for a nightcap. There's street parking and the roads are extremely NARROW so drive and park with caution.

We had a wonderful night. It started with a tour of the winery with cava production, a beautiful…read moreroom with a view of the vineyard but the star was by far the meal. We visited on Sunday evening so only 2 courses but they were perfectly executed. If you're an oenophile, don't get too excited about the cava and wine. It's not bad, not offensive in any way but will not blow you away.

Rooms are insanely cosy. Come here with your lover to celebrate something drinking cavaread more

Pros: The beach is awesome, they had towels and foot showers…read more Cons: Lots of problems here. Seems very disorganized. Food wasn't great in the hotel for lunch. No hot water in the shower. TV doesn't work. Has an indoor pool but kids aren't allowed. We did enjoy our stay here because it's in a cool beach area with restaurants and not overly touristy. The staff are very friendly here but the management of the hotel doesn't seem to be "on top" of issues.

This hotel was great for our meet up and had just the right amount of space and beach access to…read moreallow everyone time to learn and to relax. The hotel has various rooms accommodating both families and singles and almost all rooms have beach views. The buffet style food was helpful for all schedules and offered enough variety to keep us satisfied. They had local dishes but universal favorites and the chefs and restaurant staff were super helpful if you had dietary questions and concerns. The beach is gorgeous and clean! You can walk along the beach and get your feet wet or be right at the beach on bikes or running along the promenade. It is safe and fun for kids. My only hesitation is that WiFi and any business concerns have to wait until you leave. The WiFi is not fast and for iPhones you have to log in again and again so you might miss messages and chats. However the hotel gave our gang a dedicated code which helped, but it is not the spot for doing business but great for retreats and holiday type events. The hotel is an easy walk from the station and trains run every 30 minutes most days. It is only about 1 hour 45 from the Barcelona airport and a beautiful trip along the coast. The staff was amazing and went out of their way to help and change things as needed. If you are looking for a great relaxing spot this secluded spot along the coast is highly recommended.

OMG! OMG! OMG! El Cresol has truly stolen our hearts! This gem is situated in Calaceite, a Rustic…read moreplace that literally transports you back into time! A must stay if you are ever in this part of the world! If you ever decide to drive from Barcelona to Madrid, you have to stop in Calaceite, make sure you've already booked yourself a room at El Cresol and I promise you, that you're in for a magical treat. Trust me! No, really, TRUST me! The tiny hotel used to be an ancient Olive oil mill dating back to the 1700's (yes, the 18th century). In 2002 the private residence was bought by the current owners and opened to the public as a 6 room hotel. (During that time there were no other hotels in the area.) The interior of the hotel is spectacular and each room is decorated differently and named after individual olives that are specific to the region. Rosa is the sweetest and most wonderful host. She made us feel so warmly welcomed and spent time with us showing us the property and telling us all the history, olives, wine of this lovely retreat and the surrounding enchanting tiny city that is Calaceite. Love her! Love El Cresol! Love Calaceite!

We visited the Poblet Monastery on our way home back to France from Reus. As a UNESCO World…read moreHeritage site, it is worth visiting for both history and architectural fans. The Poblet Monastery is a Cistercian abbey in Catalonia and one of the largest in Spain. You can visit the grounds and the chapel without a ticket, which is what we did because we had our dogs with us and it was too cold and windy to wait outside while we took turns viewing the interior. The grounds and surrounding walls are very impressive. The price of admission is 11 euros per person. We initially thought that was high but then noticed that aside from it still being a working monastery, it also provides hospitality programs for youth which are onsite.

Well preserved Cistercian abbey is an expansive 3 enclosures built from the 12th through the 15th centuries. As amazing as it is, it's not over run with tourists, in some rooms and spaces I was all by myself and it was easy to pretend I was a time traveler. Don't miss the great alabaster altarpiece by Damia Forment (1529). You will also find the tombs of Aragon and Catalonia royalty from the 13th and 14th century. An easy day trip from Barcelona, it is not to be missed, it is incredible. Also, it has one of the best gift shops of any tourist site I've been to.
