Peaceful Mountain Retreat with Potential
We had a garden suite, with a terrace overlooking rhe vineyards. The suite was very large and quite comfortable, beautiful design throughout the room and the entire hotel.
The outdoor pool was long and gorgeous, but not heated and therefore not usable in mid November with high temperatues in the upper 50s F.
My biggest disappointment was there was no fitness center, so nowhere to exercise. Walking along the narrow, winding mountain road was the only option, great for spectacular scenery, just be sure to watch for the occasional passing vehicle.
We thought then about a massage, the hotel had a beautiful spa, but the massage therapist didn't work on Monday, our only full day at the resort.
The restaurant served exquisite creations, artistic and flavorful. Prices very expensive and proportions very small. Even the wine by the glass pours were unusually stingy, which seemed odd considering the hotel is located in the middle of the wine growing region of Catalonia.
The restaurant staff were friendly and knowledgable about the food and wines of the area.
Maybe our expectations were too high because of the Travel & Leisure ranking of #1 resort in Europe and #6 in the world,(really??), or maybe it was that we visited during the off season, or from Sun - Tues or the resort is still too new, but the experience fell short of our expectations.
Suggestions: install a fitness center, offer spa service 7 days/wk and offer complemetary wine tastings to promote wines of the region.
