My Dad and I were excited at the prospect of a 3 night stay in an old castle as a base for our cycling exploration of local medieval villages. The room we ended up with whilst enjoying an expansive countryside view had nothing to distinguish from a motel room almost anywhere in the world.Small and devoid of suitable "aged" decoration...

We spent 4 days at the Hotel Castell d'Emporda and although the weather wasn't exactly accommodating we had a wonderful stay. The rooms are big and very clean. The restaurant and bar were beautiful and the food was delicious. The servers were extremely nice but we did have to wait for our orders. It was a wonderfully relaxing atmosphere and... More

We ate dinner in the Hotel with friends that had previously stayed there,evidently the rooms are super. The food we thought was pretty average. My prestarter consisted of an olive on a cocktail stick, a prawn cracker, and something else set in a glass of dried uncooked lentils ?. The starter, belly pork with langustine, barely warm, followed by a... More

We arrived here hot and exhausted after a day's cycling with Headwater Holidays, and got an friendly welcome from the excellent Olga. The hotel's location is stunning, and the rooms and service match. The young chef, Maurice de Jaeger, is a star of the future - fresh, seemingly simple food with wonderful flavours and imaginative presentation. Thankfully the dreaded current... More

We stayed at the Castell d'Emporda with our two-year old. The place was fabulous (probably one of the nicest places I've ever stayed in) although we were a bit uncomfortable with our toddler so as not to make any noise or disturb other guests. The place is more ideal for couples looking for a relaxing getaway. The pool is great... More

This is an amazing hotel which provides a special experience. The photos do not capture the size and the beauty of the place. It is sumptuous with charming spots all over the place. There is a 1 km walk you can do in nature, there is a little old chapel, there is a pond with gold fish and small waterfall,... More

Nice big room with balcony and beautiful view. The food in the restaurant was excellent. Nice people and a very quiet surrounding. If you bring heavy luggage it might be difficult to take it up to the room but of course the staff will help you. Close to the coast with many small restaurants.

Lovely walking in the area... the place is great to relax. I would definitely hire a car..
