Can Mascort Eco Hotel

Can Mascort Eco Hotel

Can Mascort Eco Hotel occupies a house in Palafrugell's old town that has stood for more than 300 years, its thick walls and hydraulic tile floors kept rather than stripped out when the building was restored. Fifteen rooms are spread across the property, each named for a street or a view rather than numbered, and several still carry the original vaulted ceilings, exposed beams or a bathroom perched over the arch on Carrer de l'Arc. That is the thing peers in this stretch of the Costa Brava rarely offer: a genuine centuries-old shell turned into a small hotel without flattening its quirks into uniform boxes. Guests can walk to Plaça Nova, the Can Mario Museum and the Cork Museum in minutes, and the front desk runs around the clock if plans change late. There is a bar for an evening drink, free WiFi throughout, a tour desk that will sort an excursion, and free self-parking if you arrive by car. Pets travel too, for a small fee, and the building has a lift for those who prefer not to manage stairs. Families get their own room category and children's breakfast is available at a set charge, so this works for a parent travelling with kids as much as a couple wanting a quiet loft with sloping beams. It suits someone drawn to a building with a past over a hotel that looks like every other one on the strip. It will not suit anyone wanting resort-scale facilities, a pool, or a restaurant beyond a snack bar. Meal inclusions depend on the rate booked, so check that before assuming breakfast is covered. A 300-year-old house in central Palafrugell, restored room by room so the beams, arches and tiled floors stayed put. Walkable to the town's museums, with a lift, pet-friendly rooms and free parking, but no pool and only a snack bar for food.
