The Location

Tossa de Mar is a pretty town with cobbled streets, constructed around a magnificent ancient castle, located in the Spanish region of Catalonia on the Costa Brava. The beautiful mountainous hinterland with lush green valleys, gorges and natural springs creates a stunning backdrop.

 

Situated 95 kilometres north of Barcelona and 100 kilometres south of the French border, it is accessible from the airport at Girona and Barcelona.

An attractive part of this historic town is the Villa Vella (old quarter) with its ancient emblematic walled enclosure and towers built in the 12th and 14th centuries that are still intact.

This only surviving example of a fortified mediaeval town on the whole of the Catalan coast is a delightful labyrinth of mediaeval alleys dotted with shops, restaurants and ancient houses.

The Accommodation

This romantic luxury hotel was refurbished by the current owner, Sophia Maria Hanssen, who took care of every single detail to offer a unique, exclusive space, consisting of seven rooms, with an outdoor swimming pool and gardens designed by Adam Martí. You may enjoy the outdoor jacuzzi and spa treatments during the breaks and free time located in the wellness zone.

We have 7 different rooms available for this retreat for single or double occupancy - including a family room that has 2 separate bedrooms with a shared bathroom. 

 

Casa Granados
The Meals

All the meals during the retreat will be served at the hotel’s restaurant Can Sophia which is in the former patios of the house designed in glass and wrought iron.

We will work with the chefs Arturo Rodríguez, Josep Pagès and Victor Trochi to create unique contemporary style dishes using fresh local products.

Portal

We will enjoy a closing lunch at Portal, a contemporary and informal establishment in Tossa De Mar offering mediterranean and Spanish tapas with a fusion twist as a tasting menu with wine pairing.

As we are a small group of 6 people, any food allergies or preferences can be discussed prior to the retreat and taken into consideration.
