HÔTEL MAS PASTORA * * *
Hotel with swimming pool, bar and lounge offering a beautiful view near the Llafranc cove in Palafrugell.
Some 200 metres from the creek of Llafranc, this hotel has been housed since March 2017 in a former 17th century Catalan farmhouse, completely renovated with respect for the environment (solar panels, watering of the common areas via rainwater recovery, etc.). In total it offers sixteen rooms, all with a terrace, overlooking the swimming pool or the surrounding countryside and with a carefully designed decoration. His credo, the tranquility offered to travellers. They can also enjoy diving in the pretty salt water pool or enjoying tapas or vegetarian specialities in the bar. You will have direct access to your room and also have a private car park. At everyone's disposal, a lounge with a pretty view over the countryside where you can have breakfast or a drink.
The location of Mas Pastora is great as it is just a five minute walk to the main beach of Llafranc and restaurants and shops. Like a quiet hideaway from the masses.
Our room was perfectly fine, with a comfortable bed, a bathroom with a rainshower and a small balcony.
Very nice pool area to relax and enjoy the sunshine.
Breakfast and the overall F&B offerings were a little underwhelming. Breakfast was rather uninspiring and the service mostly non-exsistant.
The reception staff however was very friendly and accommodating.
To the not so nice part.. breakfast..
Staying at Mas Pastora doesn't come cheap and their breakfast can't live up to their pricetag. The staff is around, but doesn't care about their guests. All they do is ask for your room no. and that's it. No "May I serve you some coffee?" "Would you like some eggs?", nothing. It's a complete help yourself style of breakfast, which is so sad for this small hotel with just 16 rooms.
The eggs they offer are a plate of scrambled eggs, just placed at the buffet without any heating source. Which of course leds to a cold scrambled egg experience every morning. Disappointing and not worth the price we paid for the room.
Also, parking is an additional 16€ per day.
