Hotel El Sorrall (Blanes, Spain)

An eight-storey, beachfront block boasting direct Mediterranean Sea views, El Sorrall offers self-catering accommodation suitable for couples and families. Found in Blanes, the so-called Gateway to the Costa Brava, it offers quarters with private balconies. All the units here face the front and boast fantastic sea views. They contain one or two bedrooms, as well as a living room with a sofa bed and TV. Fully equipped kitchens also come as standard. Free communal Wi-Fi is available, but there's a small charge for using it in the apartments themselves. There's also a coin laundry. Those not wanting the self cater will find a small restaurant serving Catalan cuisine on the ground floor. Good for guests with bigger appetites, the Texas Ranch Steakhouse is just one minute's walk away. The beach over the road is the main attraction, but a more tranquil experience can be enjoyed at Jardí Botànic Marimurtra, a lovely garden with commanding sea views found two kilometres from El Sorrall.
