Hotel Espai d'Estels, in the Vall d'Àger Resort

The Espai d'Estels is the hotel part of the Vall d'Àger Resort, the former Àger campsite, which today combines a camping area, bungalows and these suites, on the edge of the village. It is a horizontal hotel: each suite is a separate little house named after a star, with car access to the door and outdoor lighting reduced to a minimum so as not to block the sky. From the terraces you see Àger and the Montsec range.

Two floors for four

Each suite is for four people at most, with an extra bed for children if you ask. Downstairs there is a covered porch with a table and chairs, the living room with a sofa and television, air conditioning, a corner with a coffee machine, herbal teas and a fridge, the main bedroom and the full bathroom. Upstairs, in a loft, two single beds, a desk and a private terrace with a table and chairs. The layout suits a family with two children just as well as two couples who want some independence, each on its own floor.

What comes with the suite

Wifi, free parking, a gym and the resort's outdoor pool, open throughout the summer season. The resort also has a football pitch, a padel court and a children's playground, and a restaurant-bar with a terrace serving local cooking; the website does not publish its hours. The website does not advertise a kitchen in the suites, only the coffee corner. Check-in is from 15:00 to 20:00 and check-out until 12:00. Animals are not admitted.

The Escapada Estelar

The resort sells a getaway for two: one night in the suite, breakfast and entry to the Centre d'Observació de l'Univers, the Parc Astronòmic, with a guided visit of about two hours. It is subject to availability, can be customised by writing before you buy and is valid for a year from purchase. The website does not publish the price; it also has gift cards from €50. If you prefer to put it together yourself, book the suite in its booking engine and the night of planetarium and telescopes at the Parc's ticket office, a quarter of an hour by car away.
