Hotel El Convent * * *

Situated in a unique landscape, within a Mediterranean forest of holms and pines, between the beach of Sa Riera and the village of Begur in the heart of Costa Brava, it's built …Hotel El Convent. The story of this convent begins in the 15th century, when a huge storm forced an Italian boat onto the shores of Sa Riera. Sailors who survived the incident celebrated their good fortune by founding a chapel near a medicinal spring in the nearby forest. It is a location rich in history, with tales of mysterious hermits, pirates and religious orders. The open sea and the Cala Sa Riera beach are both about 500 meters from the hotel, guests will reach the nearest shops, links to the public transport network, and the centre of Begur with its restaurants, bars, and nightclubs in approximately 800 meters. The Hotel El Convent comprises a total of 25 rooms, of which one is a single and two are suites. The rooms are distributed across two storeys, and each has its own characteristic blend of quality materials and fine workmanship. The majority of rooms feature breathtaking views over the surrounding landscape. All accommodation in this hotel come with an en suite bathroom with hairdryer, a king-size bed, a direct dial telephone, satellite/ cable TV, an Internet connection, a minibar, and either a balcony or terrace. The heating and air conditioning are individually adjustable. Today, the natural terraces around the convent are the perfect place to enjoy its tranquillity: somewhere to read a good book in the shade of a cypress or take a refreshing swim in the pool. The original structure of the building has been maintained, together with the special ambience that evolved there. The chapel has been converted into a library with information about the region and its inhabitants. There is also an area for students of nature conservation.
