Hotel Garbi***
|
Overlooking the bay of Calella de Palafrugell, where whitewashed houses tumble down to welcome home the brightly coloured fishing boats, there is no better place to stay than the Hotel Garbi. Choose from either 3 or 4 star bedrooms. All are well proportioned, newly re-decorated and furnished, plus they all benefit from air conditioning and a sea-view balcony. Reaching out below the hotel the shady gardens and ample parking surround the heated outdoor pool and patio-bar. The restaurant with its huge glass windows borders the pool and is connected to the hotel via a tunnel and lift. Dining in the restaurant is a treat – particularly the desserts and wines (Enric the owner also run a patisserie and wine shop in town). The village and beaches of Calella de Palafrugell are a mere five minute walk away where there are many other small restaurants to be found alongside the beach, including the Tragamar, one of our all time favourites.

Park Hotel San Jorge**** On a spit of land between two coves the Jorge Park lies amidst pine trees just outside the busy resort of Playa d’Aro. A peaceful setting beside the sea, that still allows night owls easy access to all the bars and restaurants of one of the Costa Brava’s liveliest towns. Although just yards from the Mediterranean beaches, the hotel has its own pool complete with bar and terrace; plus tennis court and sauna. There are two restaurants at the Jorge Park, one in an informal buffet style the other “à la carte” featuring many Catalan specialities. |

Hotel Carlemany**** For early or late season golf trips Girona is a good choice of base as there is always plenty going on and the city, being small, is easy enough to get in and out of to play golf. Centrally located the Carlemany gives easy access to the shops and cafes of Girona, the old quarter with its narrow cobbled streets and the extensive Parque de la Devesa. The bedrooms at the Carlemany are bright, air-conditioned, and have satellite TV. The Vienna bar and coffee shop are very popular with the locals; the superb circular restaurant is surrounded by greenery of all descriptions giving the feeling of dining in the forest rather than the city. There is an underground car-park with direct lift access to the lobby. |

Castell d’Emporda**** For somewhere extra special to stay, this 700 year old castle high above La Bisbal is the place. We have never seen anywhere quite like this unique and secluded hide-away. The bedrooms and halls have been furnished with amazing Moroccan artefacts and textiles creating a totally unique experience. The castle has an outdoor pool and sunny patio ideal for a long lazy lunch prepared by the exceptionally talented young chef. Well placed for all the golf courses, not too far from the beaches or the city of Girona itself, the Castell provides a refined and secluded base for visiting this fascinating area of Spain. |

"Thanks
for all your help arranging our golf trip this year. The hotel (Garbi)
location was voted the best place we had ever been and likewise the
PGA Catalunya Green course was probably the best golf course most
of us have ever played. All in all it was an excellent weekend's golf." |
