About Hotel Castell d'Empordà
In the Empordà there are some of the most charming hotels in all of Catalonia. A clear example is that of the Hotel Castell d'Empordà, whose facilities are part of a castle that was built seven centuries ago. Despite this, its condition is exceptional thanks to the restoration it has undergone.
The contrast between the structure on the outside and what the installations are like on the inside is surprising. The interior is much more modern, making available to guests everything they may need during their stay at this hotel on the Costa Brava.
The Hotel Castell d'Empordà has two swimming pools and a total of 57 rooms. The decoration has been done individually, so being in one or the other can be quite a different experience, although in all cases it is rewarding if not possible.
Indian silks have been used to decorate each room, which are of excellent quality and provide a great plus on a visual level. On the other hand, the furniture comes from several different continents, covering countries such as Morocco and Italy.
Speaking of the various areas of the world, the Mediterranean is very present in the restaurant that is integrated into the hotel itself. This is the Drac, making use of products that are not only fresh, but also from nearby areas. So, if you like the 'Km0' philosophy you will be delighted with this restaurant at the Hotel Castell d'Empordà. In addition, both when eating and drinking you can enjoy a covered terrace, admiring beautiful natural views from it.
These views are those of the field in which the accommodation is located, which can be traveled along hiking routes. It is also possible to do the same with bicycles. Did you know that they rent them at the reception desk that stays open all day and night? Indeed, as well as cars.
Having mentioned cars, we cannot ignore the fact that parking them is completely free of charge in the private space that the Hotel Castell d'Empordà has.

Hotel Castell d'Empordà: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Great place, beautiful restored buildings. Rooms are decorated very nice with good beds. Most of the rooms are not in the old building. The food is very good too!
Fantastic experience: Wedding guest, super day , food ,sevice and setting faultless!
Fantastic experience: A few days ago I had the opportunity to make a photo shoot in the vicinity of the hotel and sincerely I was delighted with the tranquility and romance that is experienced, the green fields and its entrance sown with olive trees gives a feeling of peace upon arrival.
Fantastic experience: Phenomenal
Fantastic experience: Fun to walk around
Fantastic experience: Food was absolutely amazing here. Yes that's right, in the hotel itself. Must try their restaurants for lunch. And the rooms are super cute. Gives off a dracula adventure vibe
Fantastic experience: Beautiful and relaxing weekend hotel
Fantastic experience: I loved the food and the relaxed vibe of the pool restaurant
Fantastic experience: We had a great time. It is a very quiet place. We had dinner at the restaurant, we were treated very well and the food was very good. I recommend it
Fantastic experience: Many thanks to the person who made my 50s make me feel like a princess at the Castle. T, I love Frans and you are the light that illuminates my path.
Fantastic experience: Great ambiance, and a wonderful menu. Service was friendly. We had a great time.
Fantastic experience: I've been going for years. And it has always been fabulous. But this time, it is still much better with the changes that have been made. Silvia the director is a crack, charming and very detailed. The staff a 10. The kitchen I think there is another chef, and it shows an excellent improvement. Without a doubt it is still my corner of rest! and the Sunset the best !! ❤️
Fantastic experience: Ow my! What a fabulous hotel! An old castle upgraded to modern times. Ample space to park. So welcoming! It's a gem in Bisbal!
Fantastic experience: Everything was perfect. Special mention for the friendliness of the staff. We visited two years ago and the service has improved significantly. The dishes of the Drac restaurant are also very good, the land-sea mix was a delight. We will return. Thanks to Luca for his kindness.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful place to stay and relax. The food here is okay but plenty to see and do nearby
Fantastic experience: Incredible for sure we will return. The delicious food. The pool with a dj playing music, we were in the afternoon having a few drinks and we loved it.
Fantastic experience: Elegant hotel in a castle with a charming and quiet atmosphere, relaxing and with magnificent views. Enjoy two outdoor pools with a restaurant for lunch and a drink a few meters from one of them and in the other we find another chill out area. There is another quality restaurant for dinner. The breakfast buffet is not the biggest I have seen but there was variety and quality products, quite good. In addition, the place where you have breakfast is outside and is very well set. Breakfast time is 8-10: 30 and maybe someone else would appreciate half an hour more. The service is very friendly and attentive at all times. We would have liked the bed to have been double and not two singles together so check back soon if you are interested. The only negative point that would really stand out is the parking lot: you can accept that it is dirt but then you have to be careful, it was full of landslides and it was a circular odyssey. In short, if you want to disconnect, enjoy a unique space and quality services you can now book
Fantastic experience: Very nice hotel, good rooms, good service, except for details regarding the children, no changes in the menu under any circumstances, the most important complaint is that the wedding ceremony was at 4:00 p.m., I started without us, since That commitment was to deliver the room at 2:00 p.m. and we did not access it until 4:00 p.m., unpleasant, we missed a good part of the ceremony. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: I photographed a destination wedding at this wonderful resort. I also stayed here and had breakfast, lunch and dinner here for a couple of days. It was a wonderful stay. Staff speaks great English (a lot of them even speak Dutch, which is my native language) and were friendly and helpful. All the food was delicious, rooms and beds were comfy and collaborating with the venues wedding planner was a treat. Would highly recommend this place to any couple considering Castell d’Empordà for their wedding. As a destination wedding photographer with 10 years of experience I’ve seen a lot of different venues and this one really stood out.
Fantastic experience: The hotel is in a beautiful spot, is beautiful in itself, ancient and very atmospheric. And there is also a kind of village behind it, you don't know what you're going through. And in the attic the battle of Waterloo in miniature, which the owners know all about. The place to be.
Fantastic experience: Visited here with my husband who decided to book a table to have a dinner. Great choice. There are beautiful views and the sunset was awesome. The waiter suggest us some dishes from the menu and everything was delicious. We tried as starters octopus and salmon with such a tasty wine. As a main course we tried the lamb and it was great. The dessert was amazing, chocolate and sweet wine... No words! Thank you Christian for all your recommendations and your notes, we went to all those places and it was amazing. We were lucky to find such a nice waiter. Next time we will book to stay at the hotel for sure!!
Fantastic experience: Ideal terrace to go and enjoy the sunset with spectacular views of the Empordà. Although the cocktails go up a bit in price, we were 4 and made wine glasses, which comes out much more carefully. The space is very well maintained and the staff very attentive.
Fantastic experience: All very well spectacular site
Fantastic experience: A beautiful place with very friendly staff
Fantastic experience: Awesome place to stay with spectacular views. Good restaurant and very correct service.
Fantastic experience: An ideal place to visit, excellent service, pleasant views and a great experience.
Fantastic experience: Historic and very beautiful place to hang out.
Fantastic experience: I have visited from the outside, it is worth going there just to enjoy the views.
Fantastic experience: It is a place of charm and relaxation.
Fantastic experience: We stayed for our honeymoon on November 23, 2008. In one of the castle rooms. So the decor was a bit different. But I also leave you these current photos. You can imagine super calm. And a romantic place. We had dinner at the Drac Restaurant. And then we have a drink in the chill out on the ground floor.
Fantastic experience: We have planned our wedding at Castell d'Emporda in Summer 2021. Covid made it very difficult and we had to change lots of things last minute. However, Elisabet and Sandra (from Castell d'Emporda) made everything possible so we could enjoy fully our weekend. The location was perfect, the food delicious and the service was amazing. We highly recommend this place.
Fantastic experience: I loved sleeping in this hotel, for its comfort, great relaxation, very good restoration
Fantastic experience: For years we wanted to book but it was always full. A few days ago we were able to enjoy a perfect weekend. The rooms are very nice and spacious, the service is very correct and dinner in the restaurant "el drac" is excellent, the least positive is that there is a refrigerator in the room with the detail of water (that if) although I would put some pickle and soda of welcoming. The buffet breakfast has sweet pastries, cold cuts, jams, cereals, in short, several delicious options to choose from, and if you fancy some eggs or omelet you can order it at any time. In general, the experience has been positive despite the fact that it took us a few days of rain but still everything was very correct, to put one downside, with the rain the parking is not practical. Overall, I totally recommend it and will be back.
Fantastic experience: Inspiring fascinating place!
Fantastic experience: We took the Love & Dragons Escape experience through the official website. Upon arrival you find the surroundings, the castle, the reception, everything beautiful ... The room was incredible, all the staff were super attentive and friendly. Very rich dinner and breakfast with a lot of variety.
Fantastic experience: First class hotel with a great view. Always worth a visit
Fantastic experience: Amazing spot for weddings and other memorable moments!
Fantastic experience: If you want to give your guests a magical wedding, go for Castell d’Emporda! We had our wedding a month ago at Castell d’Emporda and it was simply amazing. Everything was so well catered for and the service of the highest quality. The food, music, views and their service… The most remarkable has been their flexibility. We felt like we had a strong partner who wanted the same thing as us: make it very enjoyable for all of our guests. Sandra and her team were managing so well. Last minute requests were honored and they proved be great problem-solvers. We had fairly big wedding of 180 people over the weekend and their service was flawless. Thanks to them we were stress-free and able to enjoy to the max. We would recommend them hands down. For those organizing a big wedding, we would recommend taking all the rooms in the castle (we had a shortage). And for the castle, perhaps a good idea to invest in vaporizers for hot summer days!
Fantastic experience: Amazing place!!!
Fantastic experience: This is the 3rd time we have stayed at the Castle and it has been wonderful as always, its staff are more and more professional and we are very grateful. It had not been in the new area (Dalí) And it has been a hit, the Pool area with its views are very relaxing. Most importantly its tranquility. We would like to thank Gerard for the recommendations at the dinners.
Fantastic experience: Unbeatable place, perfect. Its two restaurants and all 10 facilities. All super friendly staff. In short, to return a thousand times.
Fantastic experience: We organized our wedding in this magical place this summer! This place is ideal: the landscape on the countryside of Girona, the beautiful stones of the castle and its history, the quality of the rooms and the services ... The entire Castell team took great care to ensure that our event went as smoothly as possible and we were accompanied by Sandra throughout the organization. Nothing to say, it was perfect!
Fantastic experience: Beautiful castle for weddings and similar events. There is cute hotel located inside the castle.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic area and very well preserved. With a viewpoint. From the climb you can still see the remains of the old wall and the house of the painter August Puig and a sculpture in his honor made by the sculptor Marcel Martí.
Fantastic experience: A very monumental place and well suited for its guests, large gardens and fountains, all very pleasant.
Fantastic experience: Gorgeous hotel, beautiful surroundings loved every minute staff helpful and polite. Room good standard.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful castle where you should get married and party in the dungeon
Fantastic experience: The place is beautiful located so you have the surroundings views all over the castle. A reservation is needed with a couple of hours before. The food is near to Michelin star, the plating looks great and the taste is extremely good. Even the chief was very young, the food was delicious. The serving is really slow and the staff in poor prepared. But this is a general problem in all the Spain. They walk a lot in the restaurant not knowing what to do. They don't know the timing, and even in which side to put the fork and knife. If you want to eat great food but you are a tolerant person with a lot of patience you will enjoy it!
Fantastic experience: Amazing discovery! The spectacular hotel, brutaaaal !!! Very nice pools in its surroundings and a highly recommended restaurant. It's not cheap, but it makes up for the quality. For putting a small but, the first dishes of the menu, a little disappointed !!! With the second and the dessert the dinner was arranged. Then, I would also emphasize the cleanliness, although I understand that it is a hotel in a very rural area and the dust sneaks everywhere. We will repeat, without hesitation
Fantastic experience: This castle is old, very old, but the hotel has all the modern conveniences you could possibly wish for. There's even a world's largest scale model of the Battle of Waterloo upstairs. The surrounding Catalonian farmland provides a lovely backdrop. It's an ideal spot for bikers given its proximity to numerous trails as well as the Costa Brava.

Fantastic experience: Had an excellent stay here for our second engagement anniversary. The room was great with an awesome view, and also both restaurants of the castle were amazing. I really recommend the place!
Fantastic experience: Visited for a long weekend with my girlfriend, beautiful hotel, great food in both restaurants, outstanding staff and facilities. On top of that everything at the hotel is very reasonably priced. One of the standout breaks we have had and will be returning. If you are staying for longer than a couple of days and want to explore some of the surrounding towns I would recommend renting a car as the hotel is quite remote. Overall, an excellent experience.
Fantastic experience: Castell d'Empordà is a 4 star hotel with 57 rooms that combines the magic of an ancient castle with contemporary design and comfort. Furnished with our chosen furniture, decoration and upholstery that we have collected during our various travels and that offer a worldly atmosphere and warmth. Our restaurant offers a delicious gastronomy with interpretations of classic dishes prepared with fresh, local and seasonal products. The estate of Castell d'Empordà has an area of about 12 hectares, with an olive grove and a forest of cork and holm oaks and a beautiful swimming pool with panoramic views!

Fantastic experience: Lovely place for a few romantic days next to the Bisbal del Emporda. Very nice rooms with terrace included. Its pools are a paradise of the Caribbean to the Catalan.

The rest just enjoy the peace of the place and a special environment.

Fantastic experience: Love this place. I am getting married here
Fantastic experience: Although I have not stayed, I will give my opinion on the times I have been and the treatment has always been correct, the sublime location (5 minutes from beautiful villages such as Pals, Peratallada ...) and a few more of the stunning beaches and coves of the Costa Brava and other towns such as Begur, Calella, Tamariu, Llafranch ..). I went to see a Jazz concert in a cozy stone room and fireplace, I enjoyed a simple vermouth on the terrace that gives breathtaking views of the Baix Empordà (once rice fields) and I was able to visit the monumental collection-exhibition with great surprise of lead soldiers who recreate a battle ... surrounded by gardens and nature, in short, a delight for the senses, the day I can stay and I will tell you. If you want to disconnect, this is your place!
Fantastic experience: Our stay was amazing. I have fallen in love with its views and the tranquility that we enjoy. It has a very avant-garde decoration and they take care of all the details. We have spent a weekend and will certainly repeat. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
