Town hotel with tranquil walled garden
A local legend, this charming hotel, now in its fourth generation and with over 100 years of history, was the first hotel (and for some time, the only hotel) in the Montsant-Priorat wine region.
Its central location in Falset, the ‘nerve centre’ and largest town in the area, makes it the perfect base to explore the whole area whilst having a good selection of restaurants and shops just nearby.
Renovated in 2008, the hotel features 26 rooms decorated in a classic style with wooden beams and furniture. There’s a large dining room, a public bar with terrace and several lounges to relax in, but the secret charm of the hotel is its large, leafy, walled garden at the rear, full of nooks and crannies in which to cool down after a long day exploring El Priorat.
Accommodation
The hotel has 28 rooms divided into 4 single, 19 double, and 5 suites.
Decorated with a charming rustic style, the rooms are cosy and quiet and their garden is the perfect place to relax with a glass of wine.

Falset, Catalonia
This lively little town of Falset is set the entrance to the Priorat, one of Catalonia's most breathtaking enclaves, surrounded by mountains and carpeted with vineyards yet just a short distance from the Mediterranean Costa Dorada.
The town is the capital of the Catalan region of Priorat region, set just 40km south of Tarragona. As the regional capital it is active all year round and has a good offering of bars and restaurants. It’s also well connected by road and the nearest airport is Reus, just 30 minutes’ drive away (whilst Barcelona airport is just 1 hour 20 minutes away).
Most visitors come to the Priorat for the wine, which is considered amongst the best in Spain, with many wineries open to visitors with guided tours, tastings, and the chance to learn about the production process of these prestigious wines – as well as the local Vermouth.
