Hotel Tarongeta , 31 rooms
From: To: Availability
Set at the heart of Cadaqués, Hotel Tarongeta is just a 5 minute walk from the center of town and the beach. It has free Wi-Fi and free on site parking.
The Tarongeta is located just a short walk from the center of the beautiful fishing town of Cadaqués, a charming spot on the Alt Empordà, only 330 ft from the beach.
The air conditioned rooms at the Tarongeta have a flat-screen TV and a safe. Rooms are also heated and each comes with a private bathroom.
The hotel serves a buffet breakfast. There is also a bar with a terrace.
Hotel Tarongeta is also next to the bus stop that can take you to Port Lligat, where you will find Dali's famous residence. The front desk staff can recommend things to see and do in Cadaqués and the surrounding area.
Hotel Tarongeta is in Cadaqués
Cadaqués is the focal point of the Cap de Creus peninsula, which is an outstanding maritime and terrestrial natural park on account of the diversity of the marine species found there and the shapes of its rocks sculpted by the Tramuntana wind. All round the Cap de Creus, which faces over the Gulf of Lions, are inaccessible islets, cliffs and coves. Though the waters look calm, sea goers have nicknamed it “the Devil’s Cape” and it abounds in tales of shipwrecks and rescues.
The outlines of the rocks (which Dalí described as “a grandiose geological delirium”) inspired his well-known pictures with double images. The views from the lighthouse (built in 1850 on the site of an old watchtower) have been used in various films, including The Light at the Edge of the World (1971), directed by Kevin Billington and starring Kirk Douglas and Yul Brynner.
In the last centuries being a fishing village, it was from the 50's when Cadaqués was opened universally. It has been visited by a large number of artists throughout the twentieth century: Picasso, Matisse, Max Ernst and Federico García Lorca (invited by Dali himself to his home when they were young students in Madrid). The streets of the fishing village, which for centuries suffered from pirate raids, the characteristic brand of Catalan spoken by the local people, the whitewashed houses, and the atmosphere of freedom still make it unique.
The geographical location of Cadaqués is just outstanding. Its bay is the largest natural harbor in the Costa Brava. Often the boats moored in it are of enormous dimensions. As we arrive to the village we cross the National Park of Cape Creus, a small peninsula that sits on a geological fault with more than 400 million years old. Today the park is classified by authorities as a protected natural environment.
Portlligat beach is near Cadaqués, just over a kilometer. It still seems as it was painted by the great Salvador Dalí : narrow and surrounded by rocks ...but who looks Cadaqués just for its beach? The village is full of cultural attractions that visitors can not miss. First, the Home-Museum of Salvador Dali, also in Portlligat, the first vertex that forms the Dalí triangle (made also by Púbol Castle and the Theatre-Museum Dalí in Figueres). Cadaqués center also houses several art galleries and the church of Santa Maria, from the seventeenth century, late Gothic styled, surrounded by numerous small streets that go to the beach. Cadaqués Museum has works made by Dali and other artists. Inside the Church of Santa Maria is a magnificent Baroque altarpiece, and a walk along the seafront to the small lighthouse of Cala Nans is an unforgettable experience.
Cadaqués is also a village of coffee and bars next to the beach. The old quarter is full of trendy shops and craft workshops. From Easter it begins to fill with tourists.
Undoubtedly Cadaqués is a must for anyone wishing to know the essence of the Costa Brava and especially the Dali Universe.

Inexpensive hotel in Cadaques that had parking. Good for a night or two if you are off to see Dali's residence, which is highly recommended. Book your tickets online though in advance for the Dali tour. Up from the beach/restaurant area but we like that as it is usually quieter and we like to walk through town. Staff was helpful, but not all of them spoke english - knowing even a little spanish/catalan would have helped on my part. |

It is close to the old town and the beach. Parking is included in the room price, and parking in the area is difficult during summer weekends. Rooms in the 3rd floor are renovated while those on 1st and 2nd are still to be renovated. Elevator was out of service and we had a room on the 3rd floor. |

Lovely rooms. More than you'd expect for the money in that area. It is a beautiful area but this makes it quite expensive. Hotel Tarongeta is a great option for anyone wishing to explore. Parking can be a problem if you get back late. 8 Euro pp breakfast seemed a bit expensive - you can get a great breakfast in the town for much less. |

We booked this hotel because it had air conditioning. We were booked into a newly renovated room in which unfortunately the air conditioning did not work and there was no place to put you lap top, the shelf was too small!!! Fortunately we were moved to another room, not renovated but with working air conditioning and somewhere to put the lap top. The hotel is easy to find, in a good location near to the town centre and has a car park which is very important in Cadaques. Looks a bit run down from outside. Scruffy "garden". |

The hotel took a deposit for both rooms (which they were not supposed to do) and only refunded one of them when we paid the final bill. They also charged our son double tourist tax. This is an ongoing issue with Booking.com. The hotel was very close to the main road into Cadaques, the rooms are basic, the shower was hand-held. |

Our room was one which had been recently modernised with a very pleasant colour scheme and good modern bathroom. The breakfast was good. The plug in the washbasin didn't fit, despite the new bathroom, and our balcony looked on to a bare brick wall and the town car park - though the church was visible beyond! |

The location was great, just beside the bus stop. The rooms have just been redone so are nice and clean. I had a balcony which was very nice too over on the inside of the hotel looking over nextdoor and the village church. Not having towels one day then the next not finding any soaps at all. Had to ask for both times and received them quickly. The older lady on the weekend desk wasn't very friendly but I think she doesn't speak much English. |

Location was great (for the price!) - easy to find on your way into town, easy parking lot, and just 5 min walk to the busy seaside area or the old quarter. Staff was very helpful with maps & restaurants and concierge services. Very comfortable bed in the renovated room we had. Newly renovated rooms are very chic, but a bit cold and austere, and didn't feel terribly clean. Also - no real door on the bathroom (just glass) was very bizarre! Nice little balcony for taking the air, although right on the main street so lots of traffic noise if you leave the windows open. |

Tried to pay for our room twice ahead of time as we had to get an early bus, but staff didn't understand, or were not there. In the end we had to insist on giving cash and keys to a waitress and rushing out, missing breakfast that we had paid for. Couldn't use the shower without water splashing onto floor of bathroom |

The staff was very helpful during our entire stay in Cadaques. The location, although not right on the beach, was central. Cadeques itself is a truly magical place that has not yet been overrun by tourism. The scenery was unreal, and the people were very nice. I booked two rooms in this hotel and canceled one long before our stay through booking.com. When we arrived however, the hotel informed us that their system does not show the cancellation, even though we received emails from booking.com to confirm it. This caused a bit of a stress because we had to contact booking.com to get everything straightened out. |

El desayuno bastante bueno viendo como suelen ser los desayunos en Europa. La ubicación es perfecta sí vas en autobús, queda literalmente al lado y a 5 minutos caminando de la playa.
