Hotel La Malcontenta

Country-house hotel near Castell beach, very dog friendly

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
Hotel La Malcontenta is a five-star boutique hotel of 14 rooms in a restored 19th-century fortified farmhouse in the Torre Mirona protected landscape near Palamós, with gardens, a pool, a wellness area and a Mediterranean restaurant. A short walk or cycle through pine woods reaches the undeveloped El Castell beach. It suits couples wanting a quiet country-and-coast retreat. Dogs of any size are welcome at no extra fee.

Why it's in the collection

Forest trails and the coastal path lead in about 15 minutes on foot to the virgin Platja de Castell and the small fishing cove of Cala S'Alguer, with La Fosca and the Cap Roig gardens close by, and Palamós Platja Gran opens a dog section from November to mid-March.
