Hotel Aiguaclara

“Unique and elegant hotel”

Beautiful and unique hotel to stay, in keeping with the historical elegance of Begur. The service at the hotel was excellent and breakfast was superb and the room spotlessly clean and peaceful. We would thoroughly recommend staying here.

We had a lovely stay at Hotel Aiguaclara. I highly recommend for those seeking a unique, non cookie-cutter type of hotel. The historic architecture and stylish decor were very charming and the owners made sure to keep the original integrity of the space by not gutting the interior and making it look like a chain hotel. Despite all the rooms being a little different, we found the bed extremely comfortable and that our room had quality linens, many electrical outlets, strong WiFi, AC and ceiling fan, and a flat screen TV. For the unusual rainy days of our stay, we loved having access to the salon spaces to chill with a glass of wine and listen to the vinyl collection. Daily breakfast was an appreciated touch that includes buffet or continental fare and eggs made-to-order. The location is in the heart of old Begur, walking distance to all the shops, restaurants, and uphill climb to the castle. Parking is extremely limited in the old section of Begur so with a car, be prepared to park just outside of the old town and walk in – or pay the extra hotel fee to park around the corner. We liked having a rental car to easily explore the neighboring beaches and towns, however there is also a cheap public shuttle bus that may save headaches finding parking during the high summer season. The hotel is a great base for exploring the local beaches and historic towns around Costa Brava. We loved walking the coastal trails, particularly between Platja de Sa Riera, past the photogenic Illa Roja, to the expansive Platja del Racó. The hotel has trail maps and can recommend walks and other water activities around Begur.

Begur is a wonderful village with lots of lively cafes and restaurants and great authentic local feel. The hotel is in a prime spot on a quiet street just 2 minutes walk from the main square. The hotel is full of character and we had a very stylish/comfortable suite on the first floor with separate room with daybed- ideal for insomniac guests like me who want somewhere to go and read in the middle of the night. Reception staff Marie was very friendly and helpful and her partner helped with a spot of shoe DIY when we needed it too. I agree with another reviewer that the coffee machine didn’t make the tastiest coffee, and that I’d prefer an earlier breakfast than starting at 9 - but everywhere we stayed in the area seemed to start at 9 or later so it seemed standard, and was very tasty. A separate small gripe was that the one evening meal we had in the restaurant on site (run by a different team in the evening) was disappointing- food not that great and quite pricey, but maybe we got unlucky with our choices. Waiting staff were really nice and the restaurant looks gorgeous at night, and has the added bonus of creating a buzz within the hotel even if you don’t eat there, as there’s a little linking hallway between the two with a music room attached (ie a small lounge with record player and old LPs), so it never feels like an empty ghost house like some smaller hotels once reception has closed for the night. Altogether a very good choice and we plan to return.
