Fodor's Expert Review El Castell de Ciutat

Outside town, the idyllic mountain setting of this wood-and-slate Relais & Château–approved property beneath La Seu's castle makes it one of the finest places to stay in the Pyrenees. Rooms on the second floor have balconies overlooking the river and surrounding valley, those on the third have slanted ceilings and dormer windows, and suites include full living rooms. The restaurant here, Tapies, specializes in mountain cuisine, particularly Pyrenean bolets (mushrooms) and caza (game) from the Cerdanya Valley. Reserve well in advance during summer or Easter week.
