Hotel Ubaldo , 26 rooms
From: To: Availability
Located in the center of the quaint historic quarter of Cadaqués, this traditional whitewashed hotel is just 165 ft from the beach. The simple rooms feature a private balcony.
The rooms at Hotel Ubaldo enjoy plenty of natural light. They come with a private bathroom, cable TV and air conditioning.
Hotel Ubaldo is just half a mile from the house of Salvador Dalí in Port-Lligat. Figueres and its famous Dalí Museum is approximately 16 miles from the hotel while Cap de Creus National Park is a 5 minute drive away.
Hotel Ubaldo 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.

The location was great, maybe a 5 minute walk down to the sea, and the staff was friendly. Room was very clean. Cadaques is beautiful!! A nice, reasonably priced option for a couple of days. I would stay here again. The wi-fi never worked in our rooms, but we were on vacation so wasn't a huge deal to us. Also, not necessarily a complaint, but just a warning. The parking garage was VERY, VERY tight to get in and out of! Any car bigger than a compact I would suggest finding street parking! |

Excellent location, basically central. I would recommend this hotel and if I ever have the privilege of visiting Cadaques again I will stay at this hotel. Stairs, no lift, but as I said staff assisted with luggage. |

The hotel was perfect. The rooms are spotlessly clean, have great storage and a big bathroom. It's in a great area of town only a few minutes walk from the beach and next to an area where you can park for free on the street. We didn't use the hotel parking as it was three levels underground and seriously tight for space, avoid if you have a rental car, honestly! This was a noisy property, but you can run the A/C all night and masque the noise. |

Location in town made it easy to go in any direction, from beach to main square to shopping. Staff was helpful with plans to see Dali's house. Nice balcony with room. Parking was difficult at best. Three floors down on a very narrow, curving steep incline. Also, not particularly close to the hotel. |

The hotel is well placed in the centre of Cadaques, within easy walking distance of the seafront and numerous restaurants.The room was clean and comfortable, if a little on the small side. The air conditioning was a bit basic, leaving the window open was not a good idea because of the seagulls! It was not easy to find the hotel and car parking was not close by. |

Ubaldo was a good experience all-round. Easy to find from the bus station and easy 5 mins walk, very close to the main bay in Cadaques, friendly and helpful staff, nice firm bed and everything very clean. The lighting in both the bedroom and the bathroom was excellent. If anything, the room could have been a little more spacious although you wouldn't expect more for the price. We did have an extra single bed in the room - obviously ideal for 3 people, but in a double room it would be better to have a bit of space to drop your bags. |

Attractive, simple modern design, spotless room, small balcony with rooftop views, spacious bathroom, great location five minutes walk to beach front and amenities. Friendly, helpful staff. I would certainly recommend this hotel to others, with the caveat about space. Only just enough space for my suitcase on the floor of my double room, good job I was travelling solo as the room would have been a real squash for two. A small coffee/tea maker tray would really enhance the room. I didn't even have a toothbrush glass. |

This is a great place to spend a few days in a beautiful little village. Very clean, nice facilities (we stayed in the newer building), and really friendly and helpful staff. Close to the bus station and to the beach. The only downside is that you can hear a decent amount of noise from the inside of the hotel (people waling upstairs and in the hallways; the TV next door). Not too much, but sensitive sleepers might need ear plugs. Very little noise, however, from the mostly quiet street. |

We choose this hotel based on the reviews and we were not disappointed. We contacted the hotel informing them that it was our honeymoon and that we could find no place to upgrade our room. They came back to us quickly saying they had given us the best room with the biggest terrace. It was on the third floor but that is ok as we are fit but we definitely had the best view. Hotel was very neat with clean lines. Communal area is quite echoy but that is just the building construction. Just bare this in mind if you are a light sleeper. |

I felt at home. I have stayed at several other hotels in Cadaques, but this is the one I will return to in the future. My room had a balcony overlooking a back street, a very nice bathtub with a good quality telephone shower, a bidet, and a small safe in the room. It was unpretentious and the staff was friendly. If you a traveler with difficulty walking, remember that Cadaques is built into the side of a hill and ask whether your room involves climbing outdoor steps built into the hillside. |
