Hotel Mas Generós

Mas Generós is a small sustainable rural hotel in Fonteta, in the Baix Empordà, where the garden forms the centre of the experience. Rather than treating outdoor space as an extra, the property is organised around a naturalistic garden designed to sit comfortably within the Empordà landscape. The setting brings together cultivated areas, native vegetation and space for a slower style of stay.

The hotel combines boutique accommodation with a restaurant and a relaxed approach to wellbeing. Its character is shaped by time outdoors, gentle physical activity, social connection and Mediterranean food, with an emphasis on reconnecting with nature. It suits travellers looking for a countryside base with a calm rhythm, as well as those interested in garden-led hospitality and sustainable travel on the Costa Brava.

Accommodation includes double rooms, deluxe double rooms, a superior room with a private terrace and the Mas Generós pavilion. The choice gives the property a varied but intimate feel, with rooms intended for overnight stays in a rural setting. The garden and surrounding countryside also provide a natural backdrop for activities such as yoga, workshops, cycling getaways, musical evenings and other special events listed by the hotel.

The restaurant follows an Empordà-inspired, garden-based style. Organic vegetables grown in the property’s gardens are used alongside flowers from the garden, bringing a botanical element to the cooking. The approach is connected to Mediterranean eating and to the seasonal produce of the comarca, rather than to a formal or heavily elaborate dining style.

Breakfast is a notable part of the stay and can be enjoyed in the garden or indoors with classical music. It includes eggs from the hotel’s hens, honey from its bees, garden-made preserves, seasonal fruit, local products and Fonteta recuit. Cakes are prepared in-house, with vegan, gluten-free and lactose-free options available, while herbal infusions are made from aromatic plants gathered in the garden.

Mas Generós works well for a nature-focused escape, a food-led rural break or a stay built around restorative outdoor activities. Its combination of accommodation, garden, restaurant and programmed experiences gives Fonteta a setting for slower travel without separating hospitality from the surrounding landscape.
