Normally the reception is closed in the evening, but because they knew we would arrive by train in later in the evening, they waited specially for our check-inn until we arrived.
The hotel is the old primary school of the village and it is nicely converted into a cosy hotel. You can easily walk from the train station to the hotel and the beach, bar and restaurants are 15 minutes away on foot. Decent breakfast, providing enough for the energy to walk into Hondaribbia that afternoon. Good coffee!
The restaurant is out of this world with beautifully presented dishes and the tastes were sensational. Breakfast was a case of "less is more" because unlike many hotels, it didn't have a huge array of mass produced breakfast foods, but a choice selection of well thought out options, many of which were produced in-house, including the yoghurt (delicious) and jams/marmalades. Staff were always very pleasant and friendly.
we had a beautiful room, with balcony, in this classy old hotel. An ensuite with a full bath, a separate wc, which is welcome but fairly rare these days. It was all very comfortable.
We only stayed one night and did not take breakfast so no idea what that was like. The Villa Catarie is very well located only a few minutes walk from the train station and local services.
You will not meet nicer and more helpful staff in any hotel. Exceptionally helpful and kind and a very warm welcome. The hotel is very comfortable, the bed was super comfy and we found the hotel really quiet. Very close to the coast. Free and easy parking.
We loved this hotel. It is quiet, clean and comfortable with a friendly staff. But the highlight was really the food. Both the breakfast and the dinner at the restaurant were outstanding. We will definitely stay there again.
Leaving! To be fair, the hotel was pleasant and spotlessly clean. The rooms were light, airy and stylish. The room was pleasantly warm.
The night porter kindly found me an umbrella as I needed to walk our dog.
