Hotel Aatu

A garden hotel on the edge of the village

Hotel Aatu is about 400 metres from the centre of Peratallada, surrounded by farmland and woodland, with three hectares of its own gardens. It is a four-star hotel designed for relaxing: outdoor terraces, spacious lounges with fireplaces, a bar and café, and two saltwater pools with sun loungers. It only admits adults and over-14s, so it works mainly for couples or groups of friends. It also has two meeting rooms and organises private celebrations.

The rooms

There are fourteen, in two settings. Seven are on the ground floor, next to the garden, with a private terrace and direct access to the pool; one of them is a suite with a garden. The other seven are on the first floor of the main building, in a more contemporary style, with walk-in showers; one is a triple. All have a minibar, Smart TV, air conditioning, safe, bathrobe, slippers, hairdryer and toiletries.

Breakfast and dinners

Breakfast is included and is a buffet served on the terraces: fruit, bread and pastries from its own oven, cheeses, cured meats, salmon, yoghurt, cereals and eggs or omelettes made to order. In the afternoon there is a bar service with drinks and snacks, also by the pools, and the hotel mentions light dinners. For a full dinner there are the restaurants in the centre a short walk away.

Getting there and what to do nearby

You arrive by car; the hotel has free parking and wifi, and from there you walk to the village without worrying about the blue zone. It offers bicycle hire, massages, yoga, guided routes, taxi and car hire. The coves of the Costa Brava are about 15 minutes away by car. Nearby you have the medieval centre of Peratallada, the Iberian town of Ullastret, the Serra d’en Cals dolmens and the sunrise balloon flight over the Empordà.
