Mas Tapiolas
In Solius, specifically in Santa Cristina d'Aro, there is a charming hotel known as Mas Tapiolas. The first thing that stands out about these facilities is the good condition in which they are located, which is surprising considering that the structure was built eight centuries ago.
Large gardens surround this hotel on the Costa Brava, which also has an outdoor pool. But what if you consider yourself cold? Don't worry: at Mas Tapiolas they have thought of everything, so they offer guests a spa.
We are used to accommodations that require an additional fee to access the spa. Fortunately, this is not the case with this hotel on the Costa Brava. You read that right: you won't have to pay extra to enjoy these facilities.
Perhaps this leads you to think that the spa is quite small. Nothing could be further from reality. You can swim in a pool whose water is heated, so you won't be cold at all.
We continue to talk about the spa, because the facilities go much further with elements such as a sauna, a salt cabin and a steam bath. As if that weren't enough, the foot bath activates your lower trunk circulation.
As good as the free spa was, Mas Tapiolas wouldn't have such good reviews if its rooms weren't up to par. All guests agree that they are very comfortable in them, as well as comfortable.
Classic decor is present both in the rooms and in the rest of the facilities. Brightness takes over every room in the hotel, as does elegance.
It is noteworthy that some rooms at Mas Tapiolas have a large balcony, while others go further by offering access to a garden terrace that delights all customers. Following the example of the spa, the rooms are very well equipped, including among other items a coffee maker.
Parking and Wi-Fi are free, which is welcome. On the other hand, you can start the days when you stay at Mas Tapiolas in the best possible way, eating a buffet breakfast that is very varied.
In the hotel itself there is a restaurant where local products are served.
