More and more people are looking for a hotel where they can completely say goodbye to stress. Is this your case too? Then you have found the ideal accommodation for you. This is Les Planes del Grau, an accommodation located in Sant Joan de les Abadesses.

The town itself is quite quiet, but in the facilities there is even a greater sense of peace. The state of relaxation takes hold of guests right from the start, making nervousness, stress and anxiety history.

Les Planes del Grau is surrounded by nature. Fresh air can be breathed inside and outside its facilities. Near the hotel with swimming pool there are mountains that you can see from the hotel itself.

Precisely because it is located in a mountainous area, it is not surprising that the cold is very present in the area, especially in autumn and winter. In this hotel they are aware of this, so in order to offer their guests great well-being, they provide them with heating that works very well. You'll be warm in your room no matter what time you stay.

It is an indescribable pleasure to be in the rooms and see the mountains from them. Now that we have mentioned them, it must be said that they are well equipped with a television that receives satellite channels, a private bathroom, a hairdryer and zero-cost items for cleaning. As if that weren't enough, there is also a minibar in the room.

Relaxing in this haven of peace is a pleasure thanks to how warm the rooms are and how comfortable they are. You will be very comfortable not only in them, but also in the rest of the facilities, such as the living room equipped as a common area for all guests.

It is quite a good idea for Les Planes del Grau to have opted for a rustic style that suits the hotel very well. The combination of wood and stone is really nice.

You can't overlook the fact that both parking at this hotel in Sant Joan de les Abadesses and connecting to the Internet is free. On the other hand, it is to be appreciated that you don't have to travel to eat, since Les Planes del Grau has a highly recommended hotel.

Fantastic experience: Very good. We went as a family, the beautiful room, comfortable mattresses. With a private space with 2 armchairs, very comfortable to be able to be apart at night without disturbing the rest of the family. No noise from other rooms is heard, that for us is very important. Dinner and breakfast from 10. Very friendly staff, both at the reception and in the kitchen. They gave us access to a private parking lot to put the 3 bicycles. Very quiet green environment. We recommend it.

J. Armengol 04/12/2021

Fantastic experience: We were looking for a charming hotel to spend a weekend and found many; in ugly places, near roads, hotel chains, old, with restricted hours, who do not understand Catalan, very crowded, without restaurant ... in short, anything is a charming hotel. But we made a very rewarding discovery, this one had everything we were looking for: tranquility, silence, beautiful surroundings, friendly staff, tight price, nice place and more than correct food. You notice that they want to take care of their guests. I recommend it, but don’t go because otherwise I won’t find a place.

The superior rooms are spectacular. They are incredibly spacious and have a small room with mountain views. The rest of the hotel's services and infrastructure are not far behind, with a well-kept environment and outdoor terrace, a cozy and beautifully decorated dining room, all with the combination of quality wood and stone that achieves an effect. aesthetic and comfortable very accomplished. The dishes of the restaurant are also very good, at the height of the accommodation, both dinners / lunches and breakfasts. Finally, the attention of the staff is exquisite and very pleasant, with local people, maintaining at all times the professionalism at the same time as the proximity to the client, achieving a very positive impact on the client from the outset, during stay and before any request made, as well as at the end of it.

In particular, I would like to emphasize, as a wheelchair user, that from the beginning they have always shown a great interest in the accessibility of people with reduced mobility, trying at all times that access and adaptations are the adequate. The environment is ideal and beautiful, ideal to disconnect from the routine, enjoy nature and practice "Slow life".

Jordi Vinyals 04/05/2020

Fantastic experience: It is a modern and elegant hotel, with a very good treatment to the customers. Description of the experience. We arrived in the afternoon. The path is complex, narrow and with few indications. It is advisable to get there before it gets dark or go very slowly. However it is well worth it. Very good attention. The receptionist was very friendly and accompanied us to the rooms. There are hotels where the rooms age badly, not the case of Les Planes d'en Grau where, at 6 years old, it is perfect. Rooms with very nice wood finishes and powerful heating. Modern toilet with large shower. We had dinner at the hotel. Small restaurant with a reduced menu but with an indisputable protagonist of the local product. Very correct. Santa Pau beans and entrecote (the dish was cold) ok. Interesting wine list. Right prices, I think they could be taken advantage of more. Nespresso coffee, soso. Excellent breakfast. Sausages and unforgettable bread. A very good experience with few aspects to improve.
