Hotel la Torre

Another wonderful week at the lovely Hotel La Torre in beautiful Calella de Palafrugell in northern Catalunya. Little family run hotel on headland between the village and neighbouring Llafranc, overlooking the Mediterranean from the room balcony and terrace for breakfast and dinner. And also the adjacent Three Pins bar, the centre of social activity for the resort. Already re-booked for next year!

I am literally sitting here right now writing this review because the air absolutely doesn’t work. I got here to check in hours ago, They made me sit there waiting for the room to cool down for an hour and a half before giving me another, more inferior room. In the meantime, my friend and I started sneezing and coughing because it’s SO musty. When they FINALLY changed our room, it was still so hot and they didn’t even offer us any discount or any compensation whatsoever for the major inconvenience and wasted time. I’m sitting in my room Instead of at the dinner i booked and had to cancel because I couldn’t shower and get ready because it was so incredibly hot. DO NOT COME HERE

This review is for the restaurant only, we were not staying at the hotel. When we arrived my partner popped to the loo whilst I looked around for a menu and someone to acknowledge we were there. Two people, an older woman and a man looked at me as though I was dirt. Still looking around, I asked for a menu....the woman walked over to the menus...opened it, just about in front of my face and said something like 'this is the menu' At that point my partner arrived and we went to find a table. Just as we were about to sit down the woman said, rudely! 'the restaurant is closed' NEVER AGAIN!

Just back from another wonderful week at Hotel La Torre in beautiful Calella de Palafrugell! The Rod Stewart concert at the Cap Roig Festival just across the bay from the hotel might have been the main draw, but the hotel again was wonderful! Probably our ninth or tenth visit, but just as good as ever! Beautiful views, day and night, across the water looking back on the village. Excellent breakfasts on the terrace, with fresh orange juice and fruit, and a couple of lovely evening meals also on the terrace as the sun went down over the church tower, the highest building in the village! Very welcoming and helpful staff too, not only in the hotel itself but also in the adjacent 3 Pins bar, which also serves lovely lunches. All highly recommended!

We returned to this lovely family run hotel, in a fabulous location on a headland overlooking the pretty seaside village of Calella de Palafrugell in Catalunya, for a week long holiday last month (September 2022). Four of us, after a lovely holiday there last year - and my own seventh or eighth visit there! As good as ever! From lovely fresh breakfasts on the terrace looking back over the bay of Canadell to the village to the beautifully cooked and presented dinners on the same terrace! And since my last review - pre-pandemic closedown! - the hotel has installed air conditioning! The quietness and peace of the hotel is balanced by the action and liveliness on the adjacent terrace of the Bar 3 Pins, which appears to be the main meeting place for much of the village. Not sure whether they are in the same ownership - they share the same dramatic site and therefore views - but they definitely compliment each other!
