Great place for foodies
Reviewed By Clive SThis is a beautiful boutique hotel with large, luxurious rooms. It is known mainly as a gastronomic hotel which is why it was included on our Flavours of Catalonia walking holiday. We arrived on a Sunday early in May and the hotel was pretty full. We had an amazing tasting menu with top- level service. On the Monday we were the only ones there and they managed to put on a sensational meal just for us. And that’s why we rate it five stars.

B&B * CAFÉ Hostalet dels Indians, a romantic 1866 Colonial house in the heart of Begur converted into a family bed and breakfast. A corner full of feeling where heritage, culture, and rest come together in an authentic atmosphere of "Home Sweet Home "
A Happy Find
Reviewed By James DJust passing by on a walk and peeked in the open door. The open air cafe was inviting. We were seated at a table for two in the sun. A light lunch was all we needed. The owner (presumed) greeted us and took our order. We were not guests in the B&B. Very well treated and the food was excellent! Homemade potato Spanish tortilla and an order of anchovies along with a beer and a sangria. A happy find for us.

The location, the price and the stuff are making it a hit
Reviewed By Moshe P20 meters from a charming beach, this is a perfect place for relaxing without paying premium. The rooms are basic, some only with a fan and no a/c, but the stuff are very friendly and helpful. Bikes are available for free so you can ride along the strip that is running along the beach. They will even provide you with an umbrella for the beach to keep you of the sun. Parking is difficult in the area, but the hotel does offer covered parking for a fee. The beach is literaly on the door step of the hotel.

6. Camping Ampurdanes

Great place, lovely hosts, fantastic location
Reviewed By Tina KWe have stayed at this site in the bungalows for many years and have always had a fantastic experience. It is quite expensive but it is a premium location with great service from the lovely family that run it. It is right alongside the most beautiful beach and bay with a number of small bars/restaurants catering to all tastes - including great fresh fish. In all the years we've stayed - only missing recent years through illness - we've had a great experience. You can walk along the cliff path to Canyelles to a well stocked supermarket,and buy English papers and fresh fruit and veg. Roses is also walkable but far less attractive/more commercial so perhaps it's a question of what sort of holiday you want. For us and our friends who go back year after year it's a relaxed, unpretentious, beautiful location and Maria's (Camping Ampurdanes) is a very easy place to base yourself for a short beach holiday far away from mass tourism, high rise hotels, and attendant "noise". Their prices reflect demand - many campers (in vans) return year after year (we see them each time we go back) which reflects its popularity. And per previous comments, the shower blocks, toilets and all facilities have always been spotless. Ditto the bungalows which have their own terraces, with shade, to enjoy very long breakfasts or late evenings. Don't be deterred by the negative reviews. I'd recommend this place to anybody looking for a chilled, relaxing break.

A lovely stay
Reviewed By juliams96We’re not particularly demanding when it comes to hotels - just want a place to wash and sleep. The hotel was lovely - the rooms were clean and the bathrooms nicely decorated. The staff were lovely too and made sure we had everything we needed. Free parking was available which we appreciated. Also, we really enjoyed the breakfast - it had everything we needed, croissants, cereal and savoury choices too. Overall, we would definitely come back!

Ses Garites is an ancient fortified country house from the 16th and 17th century which has been restored and adapted with all the modern comforts as a delightful small hotel or country retreat. It has 5 very large and spacious bedrooms with great character, as well as a family apartment, a lounge, a library and a dining room. It is very fortunate to be located in a marvellous area of such natural beauty.
Unique architecture but lacking in the details
Reviewed By Shlomo HWe chose the hotel from the Internet due to its beautiful and unique look and location. As for these, it was as expected. An old farm house located in relaxing and wonderful country side setting. The breakfast was very tasty, good selection and more than adequate. The downside was the room itself. Poorly set up and basic and mainly no air conditioning or at least a fan. It was a hot night and we had a problem sleeping. Seems they have not adjusted to the
