Hotel Palou 1874

Gorgeous hotel located in the quieter village of St Pere de Ribes. Rooms are decorated beautifully whilst maintaining the character of the old property. Pool is a good size for doing lengths but also chilling and venue is ideal for a quiet break. Staff are really friendly and helpful and i would definitely recommend. It’s near to some fab restaurants and bars.

The building and accomodation is lovely and everything was very clean. The reason for my review not being 5 stars is that in the room we were checked in “RON” was very cold when we arrived -16 degrees. It barely came to 18 by the morning. We arrived late at 2 am in the morning and had noone to speak with. We had to sleep with our clothes on and had No shower..!!! The other thing we did not like is that for breakfast there was hardly anything for us. There were 2 options: vegan and non vegan. The non vegan one had lots of meats and the vegan one was not available. The lady that served us was very nice and excused herself that they barely opened for 1 week and are not fully prepared. We asked for some eggs and they did not had. In the end she brough us some avocado, bread and pastries but it was too little for us and not very nutritious. Very expensive for 15 eur each also and they barely had anything… Other that that the property ia amazing and my understanding is that the ownership is new so hopefully it will improve. Everything should be ready when you open for tourists. Our first night in Spain was not a Good experience because of cold in the room and bad rest and also poor breakfast.

The owner was warm and friendly, spoke both French and English. Nothing was too much trouble. The room was large and warm with a huge bed and great facilities. We had taken our two, very well behaved Springer Spaniels, and they were welcomed like old friends. The breakfast is a joy. Home made where it was possible. Beyond scrumtious local food. We hope to call in here again.

Casa del siglo XIX bien restaurada, bonita y acogedora. El área de la piscina, el buen tamaño de la habitación y la tranquilidad del lugar, lo hacen adecuado para una escapada. La cena en el área de la piscina, es muy buena idea, en algunas ocasiones con música en vivo. Aunque no tuvimos oportunidad de disfrutar la experiencia pues fuimos con otras actividades nocturnas planificadas, se nos hubiese gustado. La carta orientada a comida catalana, desconozco si incluyen variaciones. No tuve ocasión de ver la carta de vinos. Sugerencias: - Anti deslizante en la ballena, la seguridad es importante. - Tener agua sin gas en la neverita y el destapador a la vista. - Colgantes para las puertas de no molestar y así evitar que entren a limpiar en momentos inoportunos. - Huevitos revueltos en el desayuno siempre se agradecen.
