パラウ マチリ(Hotel Palau Macelli)

小鎮裏非常棒的精品酒店 早上廚房還特意為我們做的蛋炒飯 超暖心

The hotel is stunning and beautifully updated in a wonderfully historic environment, so not the box in tower and so much the modern room in an ancient manor. For royalty-level luxury, you pay Holiday Inn rates (really, get out of Barcelona, enjoy Catalunya without the urban mark up). But, so much more, the staff are amazing. They will arrange rides for you, throw in some grapes with your Cava, call ahead to the museum to make sure there is luggage storage, and greet you personally on arrival, departure, and all trips in between. We booked two nights and, on the spur of the moment, decided to stay an extra night, use the spa and check out the town. The hotel only opened in 2021, and this morning we learned that they still have ALL the same staff, from the cleaning crew, to reception, to the servers; that tells you all you need to know. We would go again, and that says a lot since we NEVER go to the same place twice. Plus, the town is a historic jewel with character and a Michelin-starred restaurant (see our other post). This wasn’t in our guidebook, and the guidebook was wrong.

A small but very elegant hotel in beautiful Castelló d’Empúries, is a perfect spot for a romantic getaway. Comfortable rooms, very secure and clean. The staff is extremely attentive and helpful. The location is perfect, right in the old part of town (the most beautiful). Fully recommended!

We loved the Palau Macelli. The recently converted building, formerly belonging to an old Italian family, has a gorgeous courtyard, beautiful rooftop pool with views of the cathedral just across and the surrounding countryside. There is a small but very nicely done spa, and the hotel in general is extremely comfortable and elegant, yet laid-back. The staff are very helpful and friendly.

An historical building, aptly renovated. Excellent atmosphere, ample rooms, fully furnished. Breakfast also excellent, as was the personnel, whose efficiency and kindness goes well what I've experienced here in Catalonia.

The room was excellent, clean and big. The staff was nice and very helpful. The parking is a bit far

This hotel is genuinely exceptional. It is a haven of peace and tranquillity, with the friendliest of staff. It is located in a beautiful, historic building, which has been elegantly and tastefully restored and refurbished. The rooms are exquisite: spotless, tastefully appointed and extremely comfortable. The hotel is next to an ancient and historic cathedral, and is superbly located in the centre of this delightful old hill-top town, within a short distance of the coast and a wide range of activities. There is a stunning bar/garden at the hotel, where you can relax and take in the spectacular scenery whilst having a drink and some delicious tapas. The hotel also has a superb rooftop swimming pool with amazing views. Breakfast is plentiful and delicious, and the staff - whether on reception, at the bar or at breakfast (in fact wherever they are!) - are all really friendly and very helpful. Oleguer and Anna, who run the hotel, are always incredibly helpful and friendly - they go out of their way to make your stay an incredible memory. I would throughly recommend this truly wonderful hotel.

We visited as we were attending a wedding in the church next door, but we did visit a nice beach about 30 mins drive away so I think there’s things to do in the area. The hotel is beautiful so we spent our days there. Our room was insane with a luxurious round bath tub, and shower and toilet with separate doors. It was comfortable and quiet with lots of space. The rooftop pool was small (not designed for swimming) but a relaxing area with plenty sun loungers. Not sure if sun umbrellas were available but would have been handy as it got very hot. The garden is so pretty, with great views, and we had it to ourselves. Breakfast was nice and in a pretty setting (you can sit outdoors in the shade.) We ordered tapas during the day which was delicious. There’s also free parking around the corner. The highlight for us was how wonderful the staff were. So friendly. They went above and beyond with recommendations, allowing a late check out, booking a taxi. Everything was ‘their pleasure’ and no trouble. It really made it for us. Thank you!

The most wonderful little hotel! We had an amazing stay, way way beyond our expectations. The scenery, the rooms, the staff, the bar, wow!! Can’t wait to get back here. It will be hard to stay at another hotel after this!
