The Hotel
Aigua Blava (located on Spain’s
beautiful Costa Brava) has a prime position on a promontory overlooking
an incredibly blue inlet dotted with boats and rocky beaches. The
Capella family converted their home into a small hotel in 1940 after it
was returned to them following the disastrous Civil War. The original
owner of Aigua Blava, the much-loved Xiquet Sabater who warmly welcomed
all the guests, died in 1995, but his family has taken over the
management and continues to run the hotel in the same friendly manner.
Now a fairly large hotel, the Aigua Blava retains the atmosphere of
several homes jumbled together around flowered terraces and little
corners. Decorated by family members, each room is unique from simple to
elaborate and many have sea views and terraces. Set under a slanted
ceiling, the Chez Xiquet room, containing family memorabilia, looks out
to a large terrace and a fantastic view. For any room, however,
reservations should be made well in advance during high season, as many
guests return here year after year for their week or two in the sun.
Aigua Blava offers traditional Mediterranean cuisine and excellent
service. Its cuisine combines classic speciality dishes of the house
with other more creative and seasonal cuisine. The restaurant offers a
welcoming ambience with magnificent views overlooking the sea. If you
wish to get a sea view table in the restaurant, you should get there
early!. The
Costa Brava as a Golf tourism destination has 9 golf courses, among
which is the PGA Golf de Catalunya. (Professional Golf de Catalunya). In
addition to these, the hotel has an expert department for reserving
starting times and training. |
