Mas Gran de Cruïlles: Reviews
Positive experience:
The room smelled a lot like dampness, and my husband soon developed an allergy from the dust and mites. If you tried to open the windows for ventilation, they were all full of cobwebs and dead spiders (which you also found in other corners of the room). It gave you the feeling of being in a dungeon, with the lack of light and the smell of dampness. Moreover, only one of the showerheads worked, and you couldn't throw paper in the toilet, but the bin they provided was ridiculously small (especially if you have a baby and need to dispose of diapers), although we asked them to empty it and they did it without problem. In the kitchen, there wasn't even a napkin or kitchen paper, nor did we find scissors. In theory, you can prepare meals in the kitchen but not eat them there, but we didn't see any indoor dining room, and it was raining outside. I don't understand the policy of having to leave the hotel by 12pm and not being able to enjoy the pool later (as in all the accommodations I've been to) when there's plenty of space and two pools. I think that if everything were cleaner, better maintained, and with a more flexible check-in and check-out policy, I would give it 100 times more. I understand that it's in the countryside, and there will be insects, but the lack of maintenance and cleanliness, both outside and inside, is too noticeable, and maybe having fewer pillows and blankets, but cleaner or anti-mite ones. The staff was very friendly.

Positive experience:
Unique hotel. Beautiful. Unfortunately, it is not completely clean. There are tons of dirt everywhere under the cabinets that spreads. Cleaning needs to be improved. The kitchen is not very tidy either and there are many French people who, as is known, are dirty and left a mess. Quiet hours are not respected.
Additionally, I couldn't use the washing machine because it was broken, and I wasn't allowed to use the other one. There is a washing machine listed on Booking, so this is a scam.
Translated from Polish
Positive experience: The hotel was very beautiful, it's the old rustic villa type house that you see on screen savers. The owners are very kind and greet you with a warm welcome. The hotel is in the middle of nowhere yet in the middle of what you want. It's close enough to the beaches and Girona, and the local town has amazing food !! I would highly recommend going to the tapas place Jardis or Jardin. My god the best food ever.. I crushed about 5 plates of food. The negative The breakfast was the exact same and very lacking. It was continental but with no variation through the days, 3 days, and 3 days of the same meat, cheese, and bread. There was nothing warm The bathroom and bedroom are pretty much one in the same and have a shower curtain as a divider, which is somewhat rustic charm but certainly not what I'm used to. The pictures on booking did not meet in-person expectations. There were spiders in the shower and spider webs all over the ceiling and walls. Booking said there was AC, and there was not. We were given a fan only, but thankfully, night time was pretty chilly, so I didn't sweat to death while sleeping. Despite booking, stating it was provided there actually was no shampoo, soap, toothpaste so we had to buy it and then leave there.
- there is air conditioning in some rooms, not in all yet. but with the thick walls that the hotel has, air conditioning is not necessary, as you confirm.
- there is shower and hand soap, it is a generic that we use and works very well. so there was soap. toothpaste should be personal for each person. a hotel cannot provide something so private.
- breakfast is free and is a buffet, and logically there is the same thing every day like in all buffets.
- and there is a kitchen (something not available in hotels) for guests to cook whatever they want at any time of the day! our hotel is a rural hotel and therefore anyone can cook their own food in the hotel. since we do not have a restaurant yet.
despite that, we appreciate your comments about what you liked about the hotel and the area where it is located.
Fantastic experience:
We had a wonderful stay with the children. The place is beautiful, decorated with a lot of taste. The owners are very welcoming and generous. The room was comfortable, the breakfast is complete, and the setting is perfect for relaxing and enjoying nature. We loved the places, the pools, and the proximity to the beaches (A beautiful beach "Pals" is a 25-minute drive away.) We highly recommend this place for a family or couple vacation.

Positive experience:
It's more of a rural house than a hotel. For the price, it's not worth it because it doesn't have the same services or treatment.
- The bathroom chain in the room didn't work and we had to use the communal one (even after notifying).
- Some corners were dirty, like the nightstands.
- On Sunday, they kicked us out of the pool at 1 PM, even though the emails say you can enjoy it until the afternoon. The guy came to just watch until we left. It was very strange. We left the rooms at the requested time, but still, they don't let you stay in the facilities and come to tell you to leave.
- They ask you to pick up the cups you use yourself, which is OK but not common in hotels at this price.
- Breakfast is slow (things run out and aren't replenished, or you have to ask for them many times, like the bread).
- There are people who live there permanently, so you feel a bit like a stranger.
- Overall, it felt a bit unkempt.

The service is very good. The place is suitable for celebrations if it doesn’t rain. If it rains, you need to plan the space.

Magnificent concert by Barcelona Manfred Quartet
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
A beautiful place for such a lovely experience as the Candlelight Concert tribute to Queen. And the wonderful quartet!! The only thing I didn’t like at all was the catering. A supposed Greek and Spanish fusion. The Spanish part consisted of 3 small dry bread rolls soaked in oil, one with chorizo, another with a hint of serrano ham, and another with a dried pepper, or something like that. The Greek part was a roll filled with rice, a cold canapé with olive spread, and a pie. All of this accompanied by a glass of low-quality cava and a soft drink. 20 € per head. The other option was a drink. No option for anything in between. That was a true rip-off.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
We will never forget Mas Gran de Cruilles. We visited it once and that was enough to fall in love with the place and celebrate our wedding there. The owners are really friendly and helped us with everything we needed. We rented the Çasa so that some guests could sleep there, and it was a hit—a dream weekend in a magical place. Thank you!

Translated from Catalan
Positive experience:
Almost perfect. Charming place, like all of l'Empordà... Beautiful concert by the Manfred string quartet. They are great. I didn't know them and they've won me over. Event organization was quite good except for the catering. The information received states: 'Gastronomic offer. Some of the dishes and drinks from the Greek tasting. Price: €19 per person with a glass of wine included, or €2 for a single tapa and drinks separately.' This was the proposal, but the reality is that you have no option to order single tapas. Either you order the tasting menu or you miss out on 'Greek food'. Greek food that, on the other hand, didn't remind me at all of what I've had in a Greek restaurant. Cold tapas that should have been hot and that you couldn't distinguish any difference in flavor. All this accompanied by a mini glass of cava to help swallow... I consider it very expensive for a 'combo plate' that you have to eat standing up. The garden, next to the event room, has some very comfortable (I suppose...) wicker armchairs with a small table where you could sit to 'dine', but that, evidently, was impossible to get. More little corners like that are needed, where you can relax. The Candlelight, on the other hand, like the concert itself, has been very beautiful visually, but, a personal opinion... Let us enjoy those relaxing lights a little longer, don't pick them up in a hurry almost with the musicians coming down from the stage. I encourage you to enjoy concerts at Mas Gran de Cuïlles, at least if they are like this one, but come well-fed from home.

Fantastic experience:
We got married at Mas Gran on June 11th. It wasn't easy to find the place, we wanted a cocktail-style wedding for 270 people, outdoors and with good views. After a lot of searching, we found this beautiful farmhouse located in the heart of Empordà, with a spectacular garden, very well maintained, and beautiful views of Les Gavarres. We made use of both the outdoor and indoor areas, both are perfectly adapted and equipped with all the facilities for catering and other technical issues. We also stayed in the same farmhouse and highly recommend it. Lastly, and most importantly, I want to mention that the owners of the farmhouse are lovely, they were very flexible and provided us with all the facilities. And Miriam, who helped us a lot with everything we needed. She provided us with contacts for various suppliers (photographers, coaches, etc.). She is always willing to help the couple in any way she can. We had excellent treatment and felt at home. Without a doubt, it is a perfect place to celebrate a wedding.

IDYLLIC SPACE FOR A WEDDING IN THE HEART OF EMPORDÀ
Mas Gran de Cruïlles is an ideal place to get married. It is in the heart of Empordà, and it is surrounded by a wonderful landscape. We got married in May 2022 and we couldn’t be happier to have chosen this place. Just seeing it for the first time you fall in love, it is a very large space, with many areas to create each of the corners for your wedding. They are continually investing more in the venue and have very well-designed spaces. And very importantly for a rain plan, the indoor space they have is very large and beautiful, plus it has a terrace area with a porch.
And I want to mention that Miriam, the wedding planner at Mas, is a very good professional. She will help you with everything you need and make everything very easy for you. And the owners of the Mas, Gemma and Sotiris, will make you feel at home, they are very nice people and will ensure that you feel very comfortable in their home. And what more can you ask for? Well, they have the Mas available for you to spend the nights before or after the wedding and enjoy a Mas with a lot of charm, very well equipped and with several rooms to sleep.
In short, if you are looking for a natural space, a welcoming Mas, it is the perfect place to celebrate your wedding. We recommend it 100% because everything was perfect.

Simply perfect. We contacted them 15 days before the wedding as the venue we had chosen canceled on us without prior notice. We were lucky that a couple had canceled and they had availability for our day. I must say we couldn't have been more fortunate. Miriam and Soti are not only charming but also incredible hosts and organizers. They were very flexible in helping us set up what we needed, they found suppliers for us, attended to them, and managed everything to make it perfect, and as mentioned, they canceled on September 11 and we celebrated on the 26th. The venue is perfect, the room cozy, the facilities very accommodating for catering, the outdoor spaces very versatile, and the views enviable. But I repeat, the best were Miriam and Soti who made our wedding perfect!! Thank you very much!!!!
