BREAKFAST

Quality in the raw materials.

Over the years, we have learnt to value what guests appreciate most. That is the reason why your stay at our charming hotel starts with buffet breakfast. You will wake up rested, with the day’s plans ahead, while the aroma of coffee will guide you to the welcoming breakfast room, and you will discover why we like caring for our guests with local products from this prize-winning food region. The secret of this renowned reputation lies in the quality of the raw materials, a reason why the Costa Brava and Girona are gaining increasing prestige in the south of Europe in the food industry.
We will pamper your senses with locally cold pressed virgin olive oil, accompanied with authentic garden tomatoes, and traditional lightly toasted bread. A perfect platter of cheeses and Iberian hams from the Alt Empordà area will await you at the buffet table, with select handmade jams and freshly squeezed orange juice, for the ideal start to your day ahead exploring.

In the morning and at any other time of the day, our hotel offers complimentary tea and coffee served with pastries, prepared by our local bakers in traditional village ovens courtesy of our hotel in Begur.

HISTORY

Closely linked to Cuba.

The Petit Convent, a former stable where iron tools are still secured to the roofs and used to hang and exhibit pieces that would be sold as a whole, has been part of, and witness to, the town of Begur’s transformation over several centuries. Families who helped to sustain the town’s economy over the years by selling meat and milk products in the area would have lived in the upper floors.
Begur’s origins are closely linked to Cuba. Many emigrants from Begur returned to this coastal town at the end of the 19th century after leaving for the Caribbean island, bringing the wealth they earned in rum and sugar with them. Their demeanour, cheer and happiness influenced the architecture of the new houses in such a way that nowadays taking a walk around here is like experiencing two time periods simultaneously, before and after.
