Sant Roc Hotel, Costa Brava
Charming historical hotel with coastal views, an on-site eatery, and a fireside lounge
Overview
Kimkim's Take
- The location is fantastic, as you'll be set up on a hill next to Calella de Palafrugell, with beautiful views and within walking distance of many restaurants, bars, and shops.
- Enjoy relaxing in the hotel's common spaces, including a historic courtyard, an outdoor area with seating among the trees, and the fireside lounge.
- You'll stay in bright, cozy rooms with a mix of contemporary details and charming historical elements—and many have private balconies with views and seating.
- The hotel is just a short walk from the nearby beaches and coves and five minutes from the town's main beach.
- The rooms are generally small, and some units have yet to be renovated to a new, fresher, and more comfortable style.
Authenticity
Sant Roc is a hotel with a rich history dating back to the 17th century. Little by little, the hotel has renovated itself and now features (mostly) updated and beautifully restored spaces that maintain original charm while offering modern amenities. You'll find a mix of contemporary and traditional decor throughout the hotel, including local artwork and conventional Spanish elements.Location
Located atop a small cliffside hill in the heart of Palafrugell, Sant Roc is the perfect home base for exploring the surrounding area. A short two-minute walk takes you down to the beach, or keep strolling into the village (about a five-minute walk) and peruse its many shops, restaurants, and bars. The hotel is also within easy driving distance of many other regional attractions, including Begur (a 15-minute drive) and Girona (a one-hour drive).Rooms & Bathrooms
Sant Roc offers a range of cozy and comfortable rooms, most completed with recent upgrades and a beautifully decorated mix of contemporary and traditional elements. All rooms have views of the sea, but some also feature balconies, which makes the views even better. Enjoy cozy spaces, comfy beds, unique historic furnishings, and modern bathrooms.Other Highlights
As a standard hotel, you won't find many amenities at Sant Roc, but you can relax in its charming courtyard, outdoor terrace, and fireside lounge. And for meals, you can enjoy the on-site restaurant, which serves all meals in an incredible setting with fantastic sea and coastal views. The eatery is also perfect for grabbing a drink and watching the sunset or the night sky.Like what you see?
