Hotel de la Moneda

Costa Brava


An enticing couples' retreat, Hotel de la Moneda inhabits a plush 18th-century mansion full of low-slung medieval archways, intimate old-world atmosphere, and 11 rooms awash in bright primary colours, some with Andalucian-tiled bathrooms sporting hot tubs. There's a small swimming pool, along with romantic touches like cava on arrival and slippers to pad around the enormous rooms. Leave the kids at home.
