Paradise on Earth! No need to take a plane ticket to cross the planet! Magnificent.calm.excellent meal.pleasant staff and oscar always on top. See you soon

Fantastic experience: This tiny hotel based above a charming small bay is absolutely perfect. It’s very simple, but tastefully decorated and designed, very comfortable bed, and there is incredible attention to detail. Good toiletries, umbrellas provided as soon as it rains, no boring check in and out (rooms left open for arrival), delicious and simple breakfast, and when you get to enjoying your birthday dinner on the last night - super delicious food. And all in all great value! It was very low season when I was there so not sure how it would be in the heaving hot summer. But for me, solo and spending most of the day out with my family who were staying nearby, or was more than perfect. Thank you to Oscar for your charm, help and beautifully understated welcome.
Fantastic experience:
Unbeatable environment. Excellent service. Dishes up to expectations. Totally recommended.

The hotel has a privileged location, with direct access to the cove, from there, there are also trails to reach other coves, so taking a morning walk or at dusk is a privilege. The very attentive staff, including Eli, who takes care of the rooms The varied and very good breakfast, the very comfortable bed and the highly recommended hotel restaurant, with good views. It is a hotel to repeat.

Fantastic experience:
Excellent stay. The Hostal Sa Rascassa is a magical place, which we would like to keep to ourselves. The hosts are very attentive as are all the staff. The rooms have a lot of charm. The location is very quiet, with a garden with trees and a terrace facing the sea. As some comments indicate, the prices may seem quite high for the restaurant but in view of the quality of the food and the products, it is is completely justified, (and it is also in line with the prices which are practiced on the Costa Brava and which have increased well). We were delighted with our stay.

Fantastic experience: We stayed at the hotel for three nights and ate in the restaurant twice. The hotel is nice and very pleasent. There is a nice place to seat outside the room and a pleasent place to drink coffe and tea in the evening (especially in cold days). The hotel is on the beach (a great place to strol in cold days with many coves). A boutique hotel with all the little things that make your stay nice an enjoyable. The restaurant was a true delight. The food was superb, the staff were welcoming and the owner of the place made sure that we will have a tasty dinner and a pleasent stay.

Fantastic experience:
A wonderful site in a privileged place. We have spent a weekend there and total disconnection. Everything is taken care of with great care, the rooms are cute and very comfortable, and the terrace you go directly to is priceless, with a direct view of the sea in an environment of vegetation that makes you think you are alone. It shows that it is family and that the staff is part of that family, I treat 10. At breakfast they take great care of the product, they offered us to sit on the terrace and there are few better ways to start the day! We had dinner there one day and loved their cuisine. They also recommended a winery in the area to visit, and it was a complete success. It shows that they care that you are comfortable and provide you with everything you need.

Fantastic experience: This was our third visit to Sa Rascassa, but the first in a few years for obvious reasons. Other than the tables being generously separated outside, nothing had, thankfully, changed. And the sun was again shining on our delightfully shaded table for two. The food was once again absolutely delicious and super fresh - all fish this time around. We had the Avancia 2020 Godello from Valdeorras as a treat to ourselves on our last day. Admittedly, the bill was about €20.00 more expensive than our previous visit, but this was expected given the market prices for fresh fish and the quality of the very fine wine. The service too was impeccable, warm, friendly and not in any way stuffy (there are no sprints to pour your wine - they just leave it up to you, thank goodness - and there are absolutely no lengthy explanations of the food you order, phew). Oscar, the owner, strikes the perfect balance of warmth of welcome and mutual gratitude, keeping things efficient and quietly personal. Sa Rascassa is a jewel of a restaurant on La Costa Brava and an absolute pleasure to revisit.
Fantastic experience:
We had dinner in the restaurant, a lovely and quiet place with a very friendly and professional treatment. The quality of the food was great! We had a good evening!

Fantastic experience: If this small bay with the most beautiful coastline on the Costa Brava is a beautiful jewel, then this small and exquisite hotel/restaurant is the most charming pearl inlaid on it. I really want to stay here for a few more days and feel relaxed and happy. Thank you waiter for your meticulous and enthusiastic service.

Fantastic experience: Incredible setting, food, wine and service. We try and go to Sa Rascassa at least once on our annual holiday to the region and it's never disappointed. Personal favourites are the mussels, which are as fresh as any you will have, the Iberico Secret and Fionocchi pasta. The wine list is significant and varied with great local wines. Above all the setting and atmosphere. Beautiful yet calming and the service is friendly and spot on. This is a real gem, and anyone I've recommended it to that's been lucky enough to visit agrees. Highly recommend it.

The restaurant is highly recommended. I had dinner with some friends and the experience was very good. The place is very nice, tables quite separated from each other, and very cute. The staff is very attentive and very attentive at all times. And the food is very tasty. We were 3 people and we ordered shrimp croquettes, garlic prawns and broad beans with squid, white wine and two rascasas (fish) for the three of us. All really delicious. For dessert ice cream and truffle chocolates. We left at 70 euros per head (we ordered 2 bottles of wine). A bit expensive but the experience was very good, to recommend.

The comment is in reference to the restaurant as I have not had the pleasure of staying overnight. Working on local and top quality products, very wide menu and good desserts. Highlight the fish and shell, they also make good meat and good salads among other dishes. The outdoor space is very nice. The family who carry it offer very good customer service. We look forward to returning.

Fantastic food, very attentive and pleasant service. It is advisable to call to reserve because it is usually always full in summer. It is not cheap but they offer quality and it is one of those restaurants where you want to extend the table. Recommended to pay tribute to you after a day at the beach in Aiguafreda.

Fantastic experience: We’ve tried many restaurants along Costa Brava and this one was for sure the best! A cozy garden restaurant with awesome food, excellent service and it is located just next to a small beach with a gorgeous hiking path. Don’t miss this place! So worth driving by!
Fantastic experience: Cosy with a superb terrace. Great service. Delicious food.
Fantastic experience:
The location is excellent and the treatment of the waiters of 10, we must highlight the theme of the wines, they serve it at an inappropriate temperature in the case of white wine, when commenting, the owner replied that it was a very typical comment without even offer a solution. Otherwise the terrace is ideal.

Fantastic experience: Amazing location. Phenomal food and service. The area is very quiet and peaceful. Amazing hiking trail if you're into that. About a 10 minute walk with amazing views that lead to Sa Tuna. Oscar and his staff were beyond amazing. Definitely will go back again for longer
Fantastic experience: We have been recommending the restaurant to our clients at Charming Villas for a number of years now based on feedback we get from our clients. Ate at the restaurant myself for the first time this summer and i was not disappointed. I shall continue to recommend the restaurant.
Fantastic experience: Called for lunch on spec, I must say it was excellent, so good in fact we booked for a few nights later and are going to try and get time off and go and stay next year. I would recommend it. I would advise you to book. Superb.

Fantastic experience: We stayed for three nights in mid-September and wished we'd had longer. It's a beautiful and peaceful location, has a brilliant restaurant and lovely people running it. A little slice of paradise!
Fantastic experience:
I can only rate the restaurant. To start, mention that the letter is small. For example, they only make two types of rice: seafood and with meat, and both soupy. But I absolutely recommend it. I, who am not a fan of rice soup, have made me change my vision of the dish. The stock was delicious. They also offer fresh wild fish, and various tapas. In addition to 4 meat dishes. The steamed clams were great, without sand and you can tell they are totally fresh. What I value a lot is the attention to the public, very attentive and fast even though the restaurant was full. For space there is room for more tables, but it seems that they do not put more to offer a quality service. I will repeat without a doubt, it is worth it!

Two couples went to dinner, our impression upon arrival was very good, a romantic, cozy terrace with a great wellness atmosphere. We made snacks and dishes, (chicken croquettes, codfish steaks, garlic prawns and secret dish and octopus, chocolate coulants and dulce de leche desserts) SPECTACULAR EVERYTHING !!! The EXCELLENT product, the good quantities, the attentive, professional and very friendly service, the cozy atmosphere and the price, the one that plays for a restaurant at the foot of Aiguafreda cove, with top quality product and without regard, € 45 on average per person, without skimping, snacks, wine, water, dinner, desserts, repeating bread ... for a great dinner like this, the price is very high! As much as I can give details, the experience falls short, it is best that you try it, impossible to leave disappointed !!! I recommend for a special occasion, charming dinners, an evening with friends to have a good time, an important detail! At night they do not accept children under 12 years old! The access is very good, located in the same cove of Aiguafreda with parking, it is easily reached, from Sa Tuna by the coastal path. WE WILL REPEAT !!!

We have enjoyed this cozy restaurant with its great space on the terrace with its exquisite attention from the moment we entered. Controlling the times of services we have enjoyed excellent artichokes with foie gras and a poached egg, a generous dish of finger-licking noodles or rather bread and main course the succulent rice soup that we have not been able to finish the casserole for 2 that they would have eaten 3 or 4 with a child. I recommend the dulce de leche fondant for dessert, it has taken me floating to the cove of Aiguafreda to lie on the rocks in the shade. 90% recommended. You pay what it costs to taste, if you know the prices. I also recommend taking a complete tour of the Hostal for its garden or walkway ... there is a corner for coffee with shade and a tiny view of Cala Aiguafreda superb.

Fantastic experience: This place is a true gem and delight. Nestled in a beautiful candle-lid garden among trees, this charming restaurant serves some of the best fish and seafood I've ever had. Entries, wine and desserts are all marvelous (dark chocolate truffles are orgasmic!). Apart from the exquisite food, the unique ambience of Sa Rascassa is only amplified by the very personal attention of the lovely owner who makes sure everyone is content. He is a passionate storyteller who puts his heart into this place, which can be felt. Thank you for this truly exceptional experience!

From the moment we arrived it was relaxing beyond belief -- a private cove on the Mediterranean.

Fantastic experience: I had searched the internet in advance and because of the many positive reviews I ended up here. Everything about this restaurant is right for me. First the friendly welcome and the accompanying to the table, unfortunately on a rainy evening in August we sat inside but the picture is correct. A simple design but everything carefully and with taste. I like to enjoy a glass of bubbles beforehand and here we drank a fresh (hint of citrus) cava (perfect with the many fish dishes). and a scoop of coconut ice cream. White wine from house lafou completed the evening! If you have the chance, the detour is worth it!
Fantastic experience: We went to the restaurant and went for the peix de roca menu, it was fantastic. Highly recommended.
