Casa Granados

This boutique four-star hotel consists of just seven rooms set across a hillside property in Tossa de Mar (near Barcelona), that once belonged to the family of renowned pianist Enric Granados. The small capacity gives this cosy retreat a wonderfully exclusive vibe, and it’s hard not to feel like a VIP when you’re quaffing a cocktail on their terrace with views of the Mediterranean twinkling behind the turrets of Tossa de Mar’s Old Town, or lounging by their designer swimming pool under the Costa Brava sun. Inside the rooms giant beds with princess-soft mattresses and state of the art entertainment systems help earn every one of the hotel’s estrellas, whilst the Can Sophia restaurant (named after screen icon Sophia Loren) is easily one of the best in town, with fresh local produce used in all of their classic regional dishes.

Other facilities include a small sauna and spa in the gardens, whilst reception can help you organise tour excursions, chauffeurs, personal shoppers, private boat hire and more. If you’re thinking of coming to Tossa de Mar, this is surely the most stylish place to stay by far.
