A really nice hotel. Friendly staff, an excellent breakfast and our room was very large and exceptionally warm for the winter. The setting is nice, if quite stark.

Great boutique hotel
Amazing hotel, beautifully decorated and well positioned. Hotel team made us feel very welcomed.
Very good size pool and other amenities.
Please ensure adequate staffing levels in the restaurant as only one server during bank holidays is deemed to cause delays. He did great though!

We went for lunch today. Compared to many local restaurants it was not inexpensive. However having been before, some time ago, it's a good location, not far from home, and the dining room is lovely. I don't know if there's a new ownership but lunch today was just awful. My husband had two dishes with additional supplements. The first was Burrata with salsa. The Burrata was tough. Maybe past it's best? The mango and tomato salsa not ripe, hard and tasteless. His steak was served with a few rocket leaves on top a grating of parmesan and nothing else. I gave him half of the potatoes served with my very tiny fish. Crema Catalana was our dessert of choice. A staple on any menu. This one came from a packet, looked and tasted awful. The caramel crispy layer was almost non existent. We both left it after a spoonful. The waiter offered us something else instead. My husband declined. I chose profiteroles. They had obviously been frozen and microwaved before serving so hot and running in the middle and inedible. This is such a pity. What a lovely location and such bad food.

Amazing room, great for a romantic gateway!
This is probably the most beautiful room and chic hotel that I have ever experienced. Amazing room, great for a romantic stay. Breakfast was also delicious with local touches and the staff very friendly and attentive. Love all Costa Brava, specially in the off season so we will definitely come back.

La Malcontenta was the cutest hotel I have ever seen. It had old world charm in spades.

Was planning to visit with the family for dinner by helicopter. I am a pilot. Emailed to book a table and request landing site location to be told there was a €150 landing fee per three hours. I have landed at countless hotels and have never been asked to pay a landing fee. For reference a landing fee at Girona International airport is less than €50 and they provide fire services and air traffic control plus a runway ! What utter gouging - I wonder if you arrive in an expensive car is there a similar fee. Says a lot about the management that you “tax”customers depending on how they arrive. What service was I getting for €150? A piece of grass in a field to rest two skids on for 3 hours. Charging a fee to land an aircraft brings you into the real or commercial heliports. Be careful what you wish for. With fees comes responsibly! Booked another hotel nearby and received a warm welcome. BH

This is a stunningly beautiful hotel and location. The place is something out of a fairytale the buildings furniture and fittings are old but the quality and the beauty is exceptional. Surrounded by nature with meadows and woodland. This far exceeds anything with modern fittings and manicured lawns. If that’s what you like this is not your place. For those that enjoy exceedingly good quality and to be surrounded by nature there is no better place. Expect the best quality linens and towels. Beautiful and comfortable lounges a romantic restaurant with fabulous food and very friendly staff. Sadly we were only here for one night as we were travelling through spain but I could have happily stayed a week. We are already planning to go back for a longer stay.
