Hotel Pessets & Spa

In the centre of Sort

The Pessets is a four-star hotel on avinguda de la Diputació in Sort, the capital of the Pallars Sobirà. It has a restaurant, spa, garden with outdoor pool and sun terrace and, separately, the Apartaments Adelaida. It is a good base if you alternate between Port Ainé, about 30 minutes away via Rialp, and Espot Esquí, about 40, and in summer for the river sports on the Noguera Pallaresa.

Rooms and apartments

The website describes five types of room. The standard, with two beds or a double, views of the garden or the village and a minibar, takes an extra bed; some have air conditioning. The terrace room with garden views is for two, with air conditioning and a kettle. The attic room, with rustic décor, also takes a third bed. The family room is over 25 m², with one double bed, three singles and two bathrooms, for up to five; and the family attic room, for four, has the double bed and two singles in an adjoining small sitting room.

The Apartaments Adelaida are two buildings: Adelaida I, within the hotel grounds, with direct access to the garden, pool and spa, and Adelaida II, in a Modernista building between avinguda Comtes del Pallars and carrer Major. There are some for two to four and for four to six people, with equipped kitchen, living-dining room with television and shared laundry with washing machine and dryer. Pets are accepted for a supplement.

Where to eat

The hotel's restaurant is P7S, serving traditional and creative Pallars cooking with local, seasonal produce. In winter La Formatgeria opens, with cheeses and cured meats from Pallars producers, and in July and August the Xiringuito del Jardí, with a grill. On the ground floor of Adelaida II is the Cafè Pessets, restaurant, bar and wine and cheese shop with tapas and half portions. The website does not publish hours or prices for these spaces.

The spa

Heated pool, sauna and massages. Guests pay €14 an hour and non-guests €20. It is open Tuesday to Friday afternoons, Saturday morning and afternoon and Sunday morning; it is closed on Mondays. If you are not staying, see the entry for the Hotel Pessets spa.
