Hemos hecho una selección de cinco regiones diferentes con mucho encanto donde vale la pena alojarse. Encontrarás tanto costa como montaña, y hoteles que ofrecen los mejores servicios y comodidades para disfrutar.
La Vall de Núria

Este rincón se encuentra en la provincia de Girona, en el Ripollès. Es conocido por sus pistas de esquí, pero tiene otras joyas: uno de los santuarios más importantes de nuestra tierra, el Santuario de la Verge de Núria, una iglesia neorrománica de 1911, 4 casas de edificación dedicadas a santos y, entre medio, verás las cristalinas aguas del embalse y el lago de Núria.
Puedes disfrutar de este lugar desde el Hotel els Caçadors de Ribes, situado en Ribes de Freser, en los Pirineos catalanes, a pocos metros de la estación del tren cremallera. Sus habitaciones son modernas y rústicas, y podrás degustar lo mejor de la cocina tradicional catalana y de proximidad, con la garantía de calidad al ser la cuarta generación de una familia de hosteleros. También cuenta con jacuzzi climatizado y una zona de solarium. ¡Déjate acoger por la frescura de este hotel rodeado de naturaleza!

Families will find spacious family rooms, a children's playroom and areas to enjoy together, while couples can choose cosy rooms with a private jacuzzi, perfect for a romantic getaway.

During summer, its pleasant terrace with solarium is the perfect place to enjoy mountain views.
