Authenticity
Hotel Boutique Horta d'en Rahola is a charming, adults-only retreat located by the sea in the village of Cadaqués, Spain. This family-run hotel, housed in the 18th-century manor home of the Rahola family, offers an intimate atmosphere thanks to its small number of rooms—less than 10.
Location
The hotel's location is ideal for exploring the town and the nearby Salvador Dalí House and Museum. It's within a 5-minute walk to Cadaqués Beach and Esglesia de Santa Maria. You'll also appreciate the hotel's proximity to local shops, restaurants, and cafés.
Rooms & Bathrooms
The rooms at Hotel Boutique Horta d'en Rahola blend modern convenience and old-world charm, with original features of the manor preserved throughout. Every room has whitewashed walls, charming archways, exposed brick, and eclectic details. Each room is air-conditioned and features a minibar, a coffee machine, and a TV. The bathrooms are simply designed with walk-in showers, and some rooms offer balconies with views of the garden and pool. The hotel's Superior Rooms offer more space and additional features like a separate living area and a sun terrace.
Amenities
During your stay at Hotel Boutique Horta d'en Rahola, you can take advantage of the outdoor saltwater pool set amid a garden. The pool area, surrounded by sun loungers and greenery, offers views of the nearby mountains and isn't likely to be crowded due to the hotel's small guest capacity.
Family-Friendliness
The hotel is adults-only, so only those aged over 16 can stay on the property, making it unsuitable for families with children.
Other Highlights
Breakfast is included in your stay and features a buffet of local delicacies. Though the hotel doesn't have a restaurant, an honesty bar is available for guests to serve themselves drinks. There's also a shaded outdoor lounge area where you can relax with a book from the small library.
