Excellent hotel in Llarranc located on top of the Sant Sebastià lighthouse with spectacular views of the Mediterranean Sea. Tranquility and a good atmosphere is what is experienced throughout the hotel, which also has a restaurant in the lower part where it also serves as the entrance to the reception. We were wonderfully accommodated in room number 1 which has a sea view. The hotel has a walk-viewpoint with views of the different coves and towns in the area as well as private parking for clients. We stayed for dinner in the same restaurant and ordered some starters to share and a SPECTACULAR Catalan sea bass! Due to COVID-19 restrictions, breakfast is served directly at the table on the outdoor terrace. The people who work at the hotel are very friendly and make you feel at home.

Restaurant with a special charm. The views are spectacular and the place is magical. All the service was great and the quality of the food 10/10. Attached are photos of some of the dishes we tasted. Important to know that it does not have its own car park and you have to leave the car a little further down.

I was with my partner eating on Wednesday, a place with magnificent views, next to a lighthouse and some Iberian ruins. Very nice and impeccable place, with very good separation between tables that is always appreciated, even when it is full you do not feel overwhelmed. We ordered some razor clams as an appetizer and the lobster roasted rice, the razor clams were spectacular and, as Miss Susana told us, they were very fresh and without sand. The rice was spectacular. Very good tarte taten. I highlight the treatment of Miss Susana who was very professional, kind and attentive at all times. We will definitely be back very soon. I cannot comment on the hotel, since we were only in its restaurant.

Fantastic experience: What a view
Fantastic experience: It is an amazing place for a romantic escape. The place is Mediterranean, authentic, cute , familiar, classy and with amazing views. I loved to watch the dawn from the room. Food menu was delicious. Really nice flavours and presentation. But over all that, the service was amazing. They were really caring and friendly. The only downside is that it is not cheap, but I found it reasonably priced. I highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience:
We have gone to taste the "Garoinada" menu (the "garoines" or "garotes" are sea urchins). The price is 45 euros per person. A menu with a starter of cod fritters (2 per person), a first of 12 raw sea urchins with black and white sausage (separately) and a second to choose between black rice "torradet" with bolets (ceps) and octopus and meatballs with crayfish and artichoke. Dessert a ball of ratafia ice cream with coke with chocolate and nuts. All very good, on point and well presented. To put a but: the portion of rice a little short and the sea urchins should be fuller. The setting: incomparable, with magnificent views of the sea. The hotel restaurant, beautiful spacious, clean and elegant. Friendly and diligent service. It parks easily.

Quiet and pleasant accommodation in a privileged location. Restaurant with quality cuisine.

Positive experience:
My assessment is about the restaurant. It is truly a place for a celebration or to enjoy a special evening. The views, the environment, the location.... And the truth is that the food is very good. Of course, prepare tickets, it is not cheap. Two people with a starter, seafood paella and bottle of wine 45-50 euros per head. Obviously the wine makes the price go up, but we are talking about above average prices. Desserts, for example, are 8 euros and up, excessive for my taste. That said, the food was very good, the paella excellent (the clam and the razor clam perhaps overcooked, to put it mildly), but overall a very good restaurant to celebrate special occasions.

A precious experience! I have gone with my partner, charming accommodation with views from the balcony to the sea and watching the sunrise (the only downside is that the pillows are very thin). The service of 10 attentive and friendly, the food a delight. And of course a luxury enclave. A place to escape as a couple.

Well above expectations. Excellent. The family went to celebrate the 18th anniversary of our niece, and it was an unforgettable experience! That the restaurant is in a privileged location is obvious, but there is much more! The quality of the cuisine is very good, but what is really exceptional is the service, it's been a long time since I've seen a service of the level of this restaurant! Thank you very much for the complicity you have had and for making your birthday an unforgettable day!

Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: We stayed at the El Far hotel, in one of the terrace rooms, for two nights, and had breakfasts and dinners at the hotel restaurant. The food was outstanding, among the best anywhere. Because we were travelling during Covid times, we opted for room service, and dined in the comfort of our beautiful room. Our room was spacious and quiet, the king-size bed was comfortable, and we had a tub: all excellent. There are trails leading from the hotel along the coast, although it's a steep walk uphill at the way back. Another point which we appreciated: the staff were careful to wear masks everywhere.

Positive experience:
The hotel and restaurant is located in a beautiful enclave. Other times we had eaten very well but this time it was not up to par, maybe because it was a holiday and they were at full capacity. We were waiting almost 30 minutes for dessert! But what we found fatal was the language issue, we are from the area but we went with some friends from outside Catalonia and do not speak or understand Catalan. In spite of asking for two cards in Spanish, which they gave us without problems, that we spoke to each other in Spanish and that we asked the waiter if he could speak in Spanish, he answered us (very kindly, of course) that they already understood us and continued with the Catalan.

The seasonal menu highly recommended. We ordered white wine and they gave us a Cigoñas, highly recommended. Although we were on the covered terrace, its interior is very cozy, some round tables, ideal for 4 or 5 people.

Fantastic experience: Awesome views. The hotel is perched on the cliffs overlooking the Mediterranean Sea to the east. If you have windows to the east, then you can enjoy a magical sunrise every morning. This place is like a dream. Next to the hotel is a functioning lighthouse that adds to the whole aura of being at the end of the world.
Fantastic experience: The epitome of romance. The best sunrises and sunsets. Great walks. Great rooms. Great food. Having circumnavigated the globe a few times, this is still one of my very favorite places.
Fantastic experience: Lovely views, great food and friendly staff. Just wish there were sun loungers in the hotel’s public areas, not just in the sea-facing suites.
