This pretty little hostal (guesthouse) in the old city, on the edge of El Call, makes up in value and location what it lacks in amenities and services; when there's no staff on call, you come and go with your own key.
Lodgings on the Costa Brava range from the finest hotels to spartan pensions. The better accommodations are usually well situated and have splendid views of the seascape. Many simple hotels provide a perfectly adequate stopover. If you plan to visit during the high season (July and August), be sure to book reservations well in advance at almost any hotel in this area, especially the Costa Brava, which remains one of the most popular summer resort areas in Spain. Many Costa Brava hotels close down in the winter season, between November and March.
