Hotel El Cau del Papibou
Costa Brava
At a glance
Hotel El Cau del Papibou is a small character hotel in Peratallada, a medieval village in the Baix Empordà area of Girona. Its address on Carrer Major places the property within the village setting, making it suitable for travellers looking for accommodation surrounded by historic architecture and traditional stone buildings. The hotel is also a practical base for exploring the inland side of the Costa Brava.
The building dates from the 12th century and retains a strong sense of history. Stonework and the original character of the property are central to the experience, while the guest rooms have been renovated with an elegant, fresh style. The result combines period features with contemporary comfort rather than presenting the building as a formal or heavily traditional hotel.
Accommodation includes double rooms and superior double rooms. Each room has its own character, with the building’s historic details forming part of the setting. The rooms are arranged around a small interior courtyard, an architectural feature that gives the hotel an intimate layout. Courtyard-facing windows also connect the rooms with the shared centre of the property.
Hotel El Cau del Papibou is presented as a bed and breakfast, with a restaurant also forming part of the property’s offer. The available description focuses on the building, rooms and accommodation style rather than identifying a particular regional cuisine or a set of signature dishes. The overall atmosphere is better suited to a short cultural break, a village stay or a slower tour of the Empordà than to a large resort-style holiday.
The hotel welcomes guests aged 12 and over, creating an adult-oriented setting for couples and travellers seeking a historic place to stay. Pets are not permitted. The property is not accessible for wheelchair users, so access requirements should be considered before booking. Hotel information and contact options are provided in Catalan, Spanish, English and French.
With its historic structure, individually styled rooms and location in Peratallada, the hotel suits visitors who value architectural character and a small-scale setting. It also offers an easy way to include one of the Empordà’s medieval villages in a Costa Brava journey without staying in a contemporary resort environment.
