Hostal Can Palol

Can Palol is an eight-room hostal at carrer Nou de Sant Joan, 6, at the entrance to Peralada and right opposite the castle. From the door you have the castle facade and the casino on one side, and the old town on the other. It is a place to sleep when you come to a Festival concert or to dine at the castle and want to walk back.

Eight doubles with a balcony onto the castle

All the rooms are doubles, with their own bathroom and a small balcony facing the casino and the castle. The facade has an arched gallery. There is no restaurant and no reception with published hours: what is shared is an entrance hall and a small sitting room with a coffee machine and a fridge, for an early coffee or to keep a bottle from the winery. The tourist office registers it as a hostal (HG-002300) and describes it as air-conditioned.

Price and how to book

The website gives prices from €65 a night, without breakfast. There is no online booking or link to platforms: you book by phone, on 696 592 990, or by email to [email protected]. The website also does not say what time you check in and out, whether you need to announce your arrival or whether animals are accepted: ask when you book, especially if you will be arriving late after a concert.

No breakfast: where to start the day

As the hostal does not serve meals, you look for breakfast outside. The old town, with the church of Sant Martí and the cloister of Sant Domènec, is a few minutes' walk away. For lunch or dinner, Cal Sagristà and Sotamuralla are in the same old town, and the castle restaurant, with a Michelin star, is across the street, Thursday to Sunday.

From the door

What you can do on foot: the guided tour of medieval Peralada, on the second Saturday of each month at 11:00, and the castle's historic park, always with a guide. In July and August the Festival Castell de Peralada is held in the park's auditorium, across the street. By car, the Perelada winery is on the outskirts of the village and Figueres about ten minutes away.
