From its elevated position overlooking the bay of Sant Pol on the Costa Brava , Hostal de La Gavina is a timeless seaside villa with an air of exclusivity . On the small peninsula it calls home , the hotel boasts glorious views over the rugged cliffs , down to crystal-clear waters and off to the picturesque cove . Built in the early 1920s , the property exudes a style and elegance that is true to that era – and the region . This is thanks to the romantic vision of architect Rafael Masó i Valentí , who sought to maintain authentic Catalan style . Originally home to just 11 rooms , the structure has been added to over the years in the most sympathetic manner , and it is now home to 74 rooms and suites . Interiors harbour a distinct design that is true to the Catalan tradition , with antiques , tapestries and fine fabrics standing out against white walls . Superior double rooms benefit from balconies with sunset views , while the luxurious suites offer grandness , opulence and an abundance of space . The dining experience of Hostal de La Gavina promises sumptuous Mediterranean flavours in a variety of romantic settings , including the glamorous dining room of Candlelight Restaurant , which spills out onto an intimate courtyard in the summer months . Live piano music and views across the moonlit bay will accompany your meal . For daytime bites there is also Garbi poolside restaurant and Snack Bar El Barco . Meanwhile , the hotel ’ s luxury spa is a haven of relaxation , complete with a heated pool , Jacuzzi , hammam , sauna and Roman bath . A stylish and traditional hotel which is highly recommended for its service and excellent location .
