Altafulla is a coastal town 1 hour south from Barcelona. The many hotel and resorts that have developed near the beach are full with tourists.

Decoration is delicately chosen, rooms are clean and comfortable, the swimming pool is a great chill corner of peace and the breakfast is varied and with great service. This hotel caters to the tourists who prefer to drive away from busy beaches and packed summer terraces, and rather enjoy a more upscale experience with heritage touch and a small spa. #hotelstaycation
