Roca Blanca

Top choice in The Catalan Pyrenees


From the 16 gleaming, impressively spacious rooms with modern bathrooms to the polished lounge with fireplace, this hotel is one of the region's most welcoming and inviting. Contemporary art adorns the walls, service is attentive and personal, and breakfast is a feast. Extra touches include a gym, sauna and gorgeous garden – plus Teo, the resident English sheepdog.

Call ahead for interconnecting rooms or family-sized suites. Prices drop outside July and August, and national holidays.
