Hostal de la Gavina

This is the best 5 star hotels we have stayed at. This property has its own unique charm. This is a 100 years old place but very well kept. I loved its vintage classic style. The amazing view is a 10/10. Very relaxing and away from the noise. Excellent service from the staff as well as the lady manager there ( sorry can not remember her name but she said she recently started there) we brought our 2 fur babies who were very well taken care of. This place is very pet friendly. The restaurants are really good and they do have a Michelin star restaurant as well. I definitely recommend this hotel 🤗🤗

Really lovely hotel if you like good old fashioned riviera glamour. We stayed for 2 nights and throughout our stay the staff were all really lovely and attentive. I asked to borrow a steamer for my dress and it was with us within minutes. The main "gastronomic" restaurant was closed both nights were were there. We ate on the lawn/terrace the first night. The food was good, although the service was a little slow but it seemed like that was a function of the fact the main restaurant was closed as they were very busy and it seemed some staff on the terrace weren't that familiar with their systems. The second night we had dinner at the Taverna del Mar (related but outside of the resort) which was excellent. Will review that separately. ||The walk around the cliffs was really lovely with some incredible views and lots of info on the old hollywood links of the place.

What an amazing place! We came for a friend’s wedding and were blown away by every aspect of this place. The staff is so incredibly friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious. Whether you are looking for a wedding venue or just a vacation away, this is the place - look no further. 10/10 experience, not one critique.

This 200 hindered year old Hotel is nestled atop the Beach of Platja De San Pol. It offers an incredible view of the bay and beaches below that are only minutes on foot. Inside the hotel is classically decorated in time appropriate furniture bringing you back in time to the 1800’s. You room however will be tastefully updated with modern amenities and current comforts. ||I highly recommend above all else to book reservations anywhere you want to eat, as most restaurants are at capacity prior to your arrival. There’s plenty of options to eat, relax, and shop! ||The service here is impeccable with all hotel staff eager to serve in anyway possible. If you love days at the pool, they offer a massive infinity edge pool cliffside with a stunning view. The food menu at the pool is very limited, but mostly bar service focused. The seating is ample so no need to rush to reserve seats, unless you are wanting a private Cabana with your own shower and restroom I’d book those ahead. ||The area is charming and mostly filled with Spanish locals taking holiday and second home owners that visit for the summer. I highly recommend this as a destination stay, and you have options to visit great Medieval Towns like Girona and Begur for day trips.

my wife and I can’t even begin to describe how breathtakingly beautiful Hostal de La Gavina is - both the views and the people working at the hotel. We had our wedding here and the staff here made sure that we never picked up a bag, always had everything fresh, and were always ready to answer any call we had. ||Our guests (which were somewhere between 80-90 people at the hotel specifically) walked away with nothing but amazing things to say about the hotel, the staff, the views, amenities, EVERYTHING. ||If I could give this review six stars I would, and we are already planning a trip back so we can enjoy more of S’Agaro and what the hotel offers!

Gorgeous views and beautiful hotel. The decor is old school and a little stuffy but I appreciated that vibe for what I was there for. The water temperature is difficult to regulate and I couldn’t figure out how to turn the lamps on the side table in and off without getting out of bed to flip the switch. Very comfy robes. The breakfast buffet is fabulous. The pool is great. Nice little gym. Be sure to take a walk along the coastal path.

Our wedding at Hostal de la Gavina in May (2025) was truly an unforgettable experience. The location itself is stunning, but what made the day so perfect was the exceptional staff and impeccable service. Everything ran so smoothly that we could simply relax and enjoy every moment without worrying about a thing. A special thanks to Ariadna, our main contact person, who managed the entire day seamlessly alongside our witnesses and guests. Her calm professionalism and kindness allowed us to focus completely on ourselves and the celebration. It really makes a big difference to not having to think about logistics or details during such an emotional day. We also loved the way the day unfolded through the different locations within the venue; the romantic garden ceremony, the upper terrace for the cocktail, the dining hall and finally the lower terrace for the party as the sun set. Each setting brought its own atmosphere and beauty, making the whole experience dynamic and memorable. The banquet service was like clockwork; very well organized and attentive to every guest’s needs. We received only positive feedback from all our guests, and most importantly, everyone had an amazing time. Leading up to this big day, the responsive communication, interactions and tasting session were proactive, punctual and always carried out with friendliness, patience and a genuine smile. It’s clear that Hostal de la Gavina has extensive experience in weddings and you can feel the professionalism in every detail. One can also make use of the comprehensive list of recommended suppliers, many of whom are already familiar with the venue and its flow. It can make planning so much easier and stress-free. In short, we are beyond happy that we chose La Gavina for our wedding. The entire experience exceeded our expectations in every way. Definitely worth it! We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our love. Thank you!

Spectacular out of the way luxury hotel on the Costa Brava, filled with local antiques and gorgeous views. Food is fabulous, service is attentive and accommodating. The salt water pool is frankly outstanding. Words don't do it justice and the pictures only come close! However it is a little remote. The patio restaurant is quite relaxed in its pace. Rooms are charmingly quirky, with an eclectic collection of vintage furniture, but beds are on the small side and our 'king' was (as is often the case in Europe) two twin mattress pushed together with a topper. All this suits us, as we were happy to relax on vacation time, and the history and antiquing interst are a bonus. However it may not be to everyone's taste, especially if you are expecting generic international luxury bland, or rapid fire American style 're-fueling' with food. For us, it was the perfect indulgent getaway with the family!
