What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“The most authentic place to stay in Tossa, I would recommend for everyone, family run and incredibly hospitable, as a LGBTQ couple we felt so safe, the restaurant is delicious you must try the mussels! We will definitely stay here again, the breakfast was great and thank you Ana for helping us with everything!”
“I am so happy I chose this beautiful hotel. The lovely lady in charge is so chatty and friendly. I feel like I found a true paradise staying here, in the best location, in this exquisitely beautiful town. The restaurant food is amazing. Everyone here is so happy and kind. What a fabulous couple of days, so close to Barcelona by bus. Thank you lovely ladies at Cap d'Or!”
“We came to this hotel a few times during our stay in Tossa to sit on the lovely seating area right by the seafront. The staff were really friendly, and made us feel very welcome. There is a decent selection of drinks, snacks and tapas which meant we came at various times throughout the day which was perfect. The coffee was really tasty, the drinks were reasonably priced and the food was DELICIOUS - especially the tortilla which was fabulous.”
“In a town filled with generic accommodations, Cap d’Or is a charming option with so much history and character. It’s run by the sweetest family and boasts the waterfront’s best view. Small but cozy rooms with all the necessities. Delicious breakfast with homemade cakes made by one of the owners. The restaurant also serves fresh seafood and local dishes. In my opinion the best place to stay in Tossa.”
“Great little hotel directly on the beach with a terrific patio for lunch and great service (fantastic char-grilled calamari). They even offer you beach towels and umbrellas for the beach. The rooms are small and simple but tastefully decorated, and you can't beat the location. Would definitely return. The manager was also wonderful.”
“The food was delicious and the service was pretty fast. If you wanna eat something typical without falling in to the classic beach trap this is the place to go. Seafood is excellent and views are unbeatable. This comes from a local, salut i visca el barça!”
