Hotel Spa Vila de Caldes

Four stars, adults only

The Vila de Caldes is the four-star hotel of Caldes de Montbui, on Plaça de l'Àngel, in the heart of the old town and a few steps from the Font del Lleó. It is adults only and belongs to RV Hotels, like Broquetas, which is about 300 metres away. It has its own spa with the village's thermal water, an outdoor pool and free wifi, and lets you check in online.

The building has history: according to the hotel, it began as a spa in 1680, when the Solà family bought the waters, and ran it for five generations. In the mid-20th century it was a meeting place for artists such as Manolo Hugué, and at the end of the century the Campos family, of Broquetas, bought it. It reopened as a hotel and spa in 1992, after a complete reconstruction that kept the original façade of the upper floors, and joined RV Hotels in June 2021.

The rooms

The website presents only one type, the deluxe double, for two people, with a double bed or two singles and an extra bed on request. All have air conditioning, heating, television, wifi, hairdryer, telephone and desk. It does not publish how many rooms there are or the prices: check them in its booking engine, and cancellation is free up to two days before arrival on direct bookings.

The spa

The water comes from its own mineral-medicinal spring at 74 °C. There are two thermal pools: one with a cervical waterfall, jets and bubbles, and another with bubbles, jacuzzis, thermal shower and vaporarium, as well as a relaxation area. The Termal Experience, the free-flow hour-and-a-half circuit with a drink, costs €31; the experiences with massage range from €70 to €105 per person, and guests pay €5 less on those. There are also private experiences for two with jacuzzi and cava. Bring swimwear and flip-flops; the bathrobe they provide. Book treatments in advance.

The outdoor pool is seasonal, fully open in summer, and guests use it free from 10:00 to 21:00.

What you need to know

Check-in is at 15:00, when the access code is activated, and check-out at 12:00; late check-out until 15:00 and early check-in are paid extras, subject to availability. It does not serve a buffet breakfast: it is booked at Broquetas, 300 metres away. It does not admit animals.

Who it suits

For a couple's getaway with hot water in the same building. If you come with children, it is not your hotel: it does not admit minors; see Broquetas or Termes Victòria.

Getting there

It is in the old town, two minutes from Plaça de la Font del Lleó. The hotel has no parking: there are free public car parks about five minutes away. The Sagalés buses from Barcelona reach the village. Next door you have the Thermalia museum and the thermal wash-houses and Romanesque bridge.
