Very nice hotel that's located right by the beach with a very nice view (for the rooms facing it, ours was facing the garden). Our room was nice and comfortable with a good size bed and bath

An upgrade was available at a fee, but well worth it.
Our view was onto the Mediterranean and amazing!
We were centrally located and was within a walking distance of all the areas in and around the old town.
Highly recommended.

We had an upgrade and the room was amazing. The bed was the most comfortable one we had been given in 2 weeks of travelling and we slept very well. The food for dinner and breakfast was superb. The ambience was fantastic, the property beautifully renovated and it was safe and quiet. The dog had pleanty of room and he also settled very well which was unusual but fantastic.
Outside we sat looking over the millpond, and saw turtles, a snake (not harmful) ducks and fish. It was a lovely afternoon spent sitting in the shade sipping wine and chilling out.
Situated on the seafront promenade of l'Escala, this hotel is only 5 minutes walk from the old town centre, and its excellent beaches, on the Costa Brava coastline of Catalonia. Free WiFi is featured....

a very beautiful town, some places reminded Greece, white houses, clear sea, seagulls everywhere. Water was cold in May but lots of people swam. Long promenade along the beaches, full of restaurants and bars for any taste, lots of rocks by the shore for kids to climb on.
Centre of the village isn't accessible for cars, so we had to carry luggage with us from the parking.
We stayed in the centre, it is lively until very late in the evening, lots of people and dogs walking, kids playing.
We liked all restos we ate at, maybe Glop was overrated, we had to reserve table in advance and it was nothing special at all, burger wasn't great. Italian place Tagliatella was much better, thinnest crust pizzas I ever tried

L'Escala is a lovely town, we stayed in the old town at the northern end which has more charm and ambience that the newer part near the port which is more like a standard resort with large holiday apartment blocks. The standard of the restaurants in general is very good. To really appreciate the locality it probably is best to hire a car. However, it is possible to enjoy visiting L'Escala without one also. We visited Figures, Girona, the Roman and Greek ruins in Empuries and also the pretty little village of St. Marti D'Empuries without a car.

This was my fifth visit to l'Escala.
This was my fifth visit to l'Escala. A lovely town, great for walking/cycling excursions. Lots of beaches, woodland and the ruins of Empuries. Coastal walks to the south, old coastal defence bunkers, secluded coves...there's plenty to do and see here. A wide variety of restaurants and bars, all within easy walking distance. Well worth visiting.

Very nice sea, especially for those who like snorkelling.
Very nice sea, especially for those who like snorkelling. The deep sea offers you various kind of fish who just do not escape from you. I had also seen this kind of fish friendship in Hurgada (Egypt). Very nice spot to moore for yachts. The next time I'll hire a yacht and moore in this bay. The nature is wild, windy and mostly rocky. The only sand is accumulated inside the bay where people enjoy sunbathing and swimming. The vicinity of L'Escala is plenty of attractions. One can climb to tower of Montgo (Torre de Montgo) to see the bay from high. Spectacular view. The restaurant Can Miquel is one of the best in the bay, but one needs to make a booking at least from 2-3 days before to take a table in outside.

I like the place b/c it was clean, comfortable and very peaceful ambient. The kitchen had the appliances needed for a short stay. No oven though. I didn’t like that we didn’t have cleaning time at all b/c they only provide once a week. You have to clean the room and tan out your trash every day. No clean towels also… you have to wash them. It was about a 1.5 km way to the beach and to downtown.
This hotel had the charm of being in the country with all the modern amenities. We booked a junior suite which was spacious and it had a loft that we did not need to use. There was a doorway that was low, and my 6 foot husband bumped his head a couple of times, so watch out. The staff was super nice and helpful. We loved the large wood burning fireplace in the common area. We had dinner and breakfast here and the food was quite good. Highly recommend this hotel.
This is a wonderful, tastefully designed house with great common rooms, restaurant, a library and a huge terrace right at the beach. The location next to the ruins of EMPURIES is exceptional and offers great walls to the nearby town of St.Marti d’Empuries and L’Escala. The beach is perfect for swimming and for families with children. The hotel also has an outdoors café, that offers food based on old Roman recipes and drinks.
Room was rustic style but luxurious. It was separate from the main building which also seemed equally beautiful. The breakfast was a stunning buffet of fabulous fruit, sweets, meats and cheeses. Very high quality. We had a fabulous meal at a reasonable price. Public transport from Girona where we flew into - infrequent but very comfortable and cheap. 2-3 minute walk to hotel from the bus stop. 10 min walk to the beach.
This was our second visit and we still loved everything about this hotel. Mariona and Matthew are perfect hosts, the room was delightful with a little balcony and sea view. Breakfasts were delicious. L'Escala is a beautiful place and this hotel is the icing on the cake.
The restaurant downstairs is also excellent.
Hotel quality bed and bedding.
Very comfortable bed
Small but functional lounge area with a big decent TV should you wish to watch it.
Very responsive host when we had a problem getting the heater to work
Nice terrace but at this time of year gets very little sun
Easy private and secure parking
The appartment is new, super clean, in the very center of L'scala with everything what one needs and wishes in several minutes distance by foot. Short way to Girona, medieval villages and Costa Brava coastline towns. Check - in / - out are easy, the hosts are very friendly and helpful.
I have to congratulate Nuria and all the crew for such an Amazing customer service! Its a 1 star hotel but the girls deserve a 5 star rating. Caring, friendly, went above and beyond! Nuria respinded to my countless inquiries super fast and was always willing to help.
The 2 gentlemen (at the reception - I think they are the owners), are so kind and attentive. Everytime we have stayed there, we felt comfortable and they have done their best to attend our needs. The hotel is very clean and super close to the beach.
stayed at this hotel before upgraded to large double room, balcony with a sea view at an acute angle the desayuno(breakfast) is amazing , extensive choice ,family run hotel prepare their own anchovies , you must try them hence really good value
This Hotel ticks all the boxes! Staff extremely friendly, reception ( especially Marta and Roger ) wonderful and helpful.
The pool is fantastic!! Seaview from all the rooms!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here!!!
Highly recommendable !
The location of the hotel is excellent, right in the center on the waterfront. Nice room, with shower and toilet. Heating (in winter) can be adjusted to your liking. Very friendly staff.
clean but spare public spaces. The rooms were clean with nice balconies. They now have three coffee machines so the wait for more coffee wasn’t much of an issue in late April.
Room was fine. Beds were very good. Views of the sea are limited by several buildings. We stayed in late Spring, the area was very quiet, but probably a lot busier in Summer
Traditional hotel with good sea views, close to the centre, yet quiet
Generous breakfast served at table in the restaurant which also offers sea views
