"Set in Catalonia’s scenic northeastern corner, just outside the tiny village of Pau and close to a ruggedly beautiful stretch of the Costa Brava, this chic yet unpretentious 17-room retreat is a great place to unwind à deux. It’s flooded with natural light and decorated in calming shades of white and taupe, with modern art and a hint of rusticity. Gorgeous views stretch over palm trees towards the mountains, and vibrant bougainvillea dots the courtyards and terraces. Everywhere you turn, the omnipresent scent of lavender creates a serene country feel.Take the mountain bikes for a spin through the surrounding vineyards to quaint coastal villages, or explore the beaches, museums and nature reserves nearby. Not that you need to venture out: there’s an infinity pool for lazing, a small spa in a converted wine cellar for heavenly massages, and a panoramic terrace where you can sip the produce of the hotel’s own vines. As for the food in the intimate candlelit restaurant, it’s quite possibly the best we’ve ever had. Highs The tranquil, oh-so-romantic ambianceStylish rooms and suites, many with huge bathtubs and terraces gazing out over the olive treesDivine Catalan cuisine: we still dream about that parmentier and poached egg with truffle emulsion...Great service from young, friendly and attentive staffA short drive from the Bay of Rosas (one of Catalonia's best beaches), the Cap de Creus Natural Park, and Dalí's haunts in Figueres and Cadaqués Lows It's best to have a car to get here and get around, although transfers can be arrangedIt fills up quickly, so book well in advanceNot ideal for kids (very quiet, with no twin rooms), though suites have sofabeds and there’s a 2-bedroom apartmentThere’s a small road nearby, but we didn’t notice any noiseMany rooms have open-plan bathrooms (not for everyone), though toilets are enclosed" - Maia Tarrant
"There’s more to Catalonia than just bustling Barcelona — Girona is a destination in its own right, the home of an ancient Roman citadel, medieval baths, and the largest Jewish quarter in Catalonia, just half an hour’s train ride away from the capital city. And 30 minutes from Girona, near the French border, is Hotel Mas Lazuli, a 17-room boutique housed in a historic convent that dates to the 11th century. Life is a little less frantic here — this is the sun-drenched Costa Brava, complete with historic landmarks and a slowed-down pace that encourages you to indulge in a siesta instead of squeezing in a visit to another museum." - Tablet Hotels
