El Reces de Corça

A character guesthouse in a mediaeval village

El Reces is a village Guest House of real quality in Corça, close to Girona on the Costa Brava. It has been created from two old village houses, with parts dating back to the 14th, 15th and 17th centuries.

Part of the house is above the old village gate and passageway, leading into the old fortified centre of the village.

El Reces retains traditional rustic character, whilst sympathetic renovations have preserved many original features. Nearly all of the building has the original stone walls and the oldest part has a guest room with a domed stone ceiling and even a glass-bottomed shower above the old well. The latest in fixtures and fittings give a luxury feel, while blending attractively with the rustic finish of the stone, tiles and woodwork, and the locally-made Catalan furniture set everything off perfectly.

The four guest rooms are very spacious each with their own unique character and features such as terraces or balconies. They all have private bathrooms, fridge, tea & coffee facilities, breakfast area & thermostatic heating.

Guests enjoy plenty of space, peace and privacy, with all rooms located off a central stairway leading up to the top floor lounge which was previously used as an artist's studio due to the large arched windows that flood it with light.. As one of the tallest houses in the village, the lounge and the roof-top terrace have picturesque views of the church and countryside over the other rooftops. Corca village has an un-spoilt feel with its medieval buildings,where many Catalan families have lived for generations.

Restaurant:

There isn't a restaurant at the hotel, but within a short walking distance there is a tapas bar/restaurant, plus other traditional Catalan restaurants within the village.

Couples can take their breakfast in their room or on the terrace, while bigger groups may choose to have breakfast together in the main entrance hall.
