I have a special liking for hotels. Although they are familiar ground, it is not common to find a hotel whose memory will stay with me and be cherished after I pack my suitcases and leave. Comfortable and cozy is the prerequisite. But to be remembered, to make me want to go back, much more is required.
I was initially attracted by the name : Hotel del Teatre . It is located at the small village of Regencós , in the region of Embordà Costa Brava . It is less than an hour drive, 40 km/25 miles from the capital of the province, Girona , and from Girona airport.
Little more than an hour from Barcelona (90 km/56 miles). Regencós is off the road to Begur , actually 5 km/3miles away; 8 km/5 miles from the medieval village of Pals; 10 minutes from the fishing physical map of united kingdom villages, beaches and coves of Sa Tuna, Aiguablava, Llafranc, Calella. The famous Castle Dali offered as a gift to Gala in Púbol is not far; this is one of the three locations of the 'Dalí Triangle' with Figueres (Theatre Museum) and  Cadaqués
It is convenient to explore from here the fascinating region of Catalonia with the richness of cultural history and the diversity of landscape and activities ranging from golf courses to horse riding and aviation or simply indulge in spa or in culinary experiences.
If you want to be an adventurer and explorer this is the ideal ground. Do not worry about schedule. Just take your car, and hit the road. That s what I did, the last week of September.Coming back in the afternoon at the Hotel you can rest around the garden and the swimming pool, or in the comfortable lounge, depending on the season, until it is time for dinner.
Then, you can dine at La Cuina del Theatre where you have excellent choices of Mediterranean gastronomy at very reasonable prices in a relaxed and stylish atmosphere served with the simplicity of real taste. You can enjoy your wine too, without thinking about driving.
The bell of the village church hits the hours. physical map of united kingdom Hotel del Teatre is a 18 th century house renovated physical map of united kingdom in 2003 by the interior designer from Barcelona, Sandra Tarruella specialized in hotels and restaurants. "Her style is recognizable for the minimal, the earth colors and the textures .
"The hotel used to be an old house, a family lived here and then added a restaurant. Some parts made by steel and glass, give the atmosphere of a cosmopolitan restaurant, like New York. It used to house the old theatre of the little village of Regencós which later was turned into a cinema. Now, to continue this tradition we play films and show photos of travel photographers physical map of united kingdom in the actual stage where projections were made in the past. We also organize concerts one night a week the months of June and July".
Foreigners, English for example, prefer the premises for wedding celebrations. It can host at least 90 people physical map of united kingdom in the interiors and around 60 outdoors. Alicia helps them to organize all required, as she used to do weddings in the past.
Asking Alicia which are the places she suggests me to visit we ran into another discussion. Some people find it difficult to just hang around the garden or the swimming pool, strolling the medieval towns, sitting at squares physical map of united kingdom doing nothing in particular. Others just want to take advantage of their holidays to learn or to advance in some craft.
"Visit to the farms where they make amazing cheeses, facilities to rent sailing trips to visit our "secret coast", unexplored physical map of united kingdom beaches where you can only arrive by sea. Balloon and aero plan rides over the Empordà landscape to enjoy a bird´s eye view.
Also Hotel del Teatre physical map of united kingdom has mountain bikes for our clients, and we will guide you how to arrive through small rural roads surrounded by  sunflower fields to the closest medieval towns of Pals, Peratallada, Fontanilles and Palu satou, route of  approximately 2 hours ride from our hotel".
The Hotel and La Cuina del Theatre offer a number of imaginative choices, from  'lovers' week-end'  to  'wellness massage', with facial body treatment physical map of united kingdom for the ones who want to indulge or for the bride of the wedding celebration.
physical map of united kingdom Talking with Alicia I realize one of the secrets her hospitality is the  'personalized attitude', the flexibility and willingness physical map of united kingdom to meet the requirements and the budget of the guests. So, they want to come back and share their experiences with their friends and families.
The welcoming spirit was evident from the moment I stepped into the hotel, tired and thirsty from my long road trip. They had already informed me by email about certain details, like the closing time of the door, or that the restaurant will not be open and they will give me suggestions where to dine.
Until now, the hotel is not open from November 3d to March 15 th . From June to August, the high season, it is occupied by families who are frequent guests and reserve long ahead. They hang around taking snacks around the pool with their swimming suits. Or go to the beaches physical map of united kingdom and return in the afternoon.
physical map of united kingdom Alicia tells me they are taking the house of the rector to turn it into four apartments, each   with a little kitchen and a living room suitable for families who want to cook. In crisis people put batteries on, trying to find the harmony between price quality , in her own words.
"Yes, we could stay open in November, December even the first months of the year. The restaurant is open on New Year's Eve.  The Hotel is well equipped for winter. There is central heating, air conditioning with warm air. I wish people were less aware of the weather. There is plenty to do apart from the beaches if they stayed 3 to 4 days: bicycles, medieval towns, museums, walks ".
The prevailing yellow of the stone is balanced against the ceramic tiles of terracotta and the green that surrounds us. Textures and colors cohabitate in harmony emanating a feeling of serenity and peace that spreads inside and out in the garden.
Everything is chosen to compose a uniform identity to all spaces of the restaurant and the hotel, a personality that is contemporary, fresh and light, but well -grounded to Catalonia, the past, the landscape. The Mediterranean physical map of united kingdom thyme from the garden sprinkles morning blessings to the tomatoes spread on my bread at breakfast. Expressions of being that evade the trendy physical map of united kingdom and the temporal, the way fashionable can be. It also escapes the heaviness physical map of united kingdom a castle made of stone is.
The lighting in the rooms and around the dining physical map of united kingdom room of the restaurant is sophisticated and warm. The light wood against the darker furniture, the open ceiling beans against the gray steel and the glass of the large window screens; the old and the new create a bridge across the centuries.
Any traveler and adventurer would agree that to go on exploring you need to have a castle to return at night. To sleep well, to eat well. To enjoy a good film from the big selection of DVDs of Hotel del Theatre .  To share everything  with good company.
A bunch of photos is what I can share with you now, and my long description. But when I close my eyes Hotel del Theatre is a spot in the universe where time and space envelop me. There, I sleep so deeply physical map of united kingdom that when I open my eyes I do not remember where I came from.
And when I open the window the scenery is brand new and so old, recognizable by my soul, frequented in my dreams. It is when I feel light, weightless as if the miles of my time machine have turned zero and I am ready to start again. It is when I suddenly feel wiser, too.
Los  hoteles son mi afición. Aunque  el terreno  es  familiar, cuando parto con mis maletas,  no encuentro facilmente  un hotel que me impresionará tanto como  para pensar en regresar, gracias a la amabilidad y comodidad ofrecida.
Al principio, me impresionó physical map of united kingdom su nombre: Hotel del Teatre . Se sitúa en el pueblo medieval de   Regencós , en la región de Empordà Costa Brava , a  menos de una hora en coche del aeropuerto de Girona , la capital de la provincia (unos 40 km o 25 millas). El hotel se encuentra physical map of united kingdom a una hora y cuarto physical map of united kingdom de  Barcelona (90 km o 56 millas). Regencós se sitúa en el desvío de la carretera al Begur a unos  de 5 km/ 3 millas physical map of united kingdom de  distancia y  a unos  8km/5 mil.  del  pueblo physical map of united kingdom medieval de Pals. Muy cerca de este hotelito a tan solo 10 minutos, se situan recónditas playas,   aldeas de pescadores, y las pequeñas  calas de Sa Tuna, Aiguablava, Llafranc y Calella. El famoso castillo que  Dali ofreció como regalo  a Gala en Púbol  no está lejos, y es  una de las citas obligadas del famoso ' triangulo Daliliano ', siendo los otros dos: El Museo Dalí en Figueras physical map of united kingdom y La Casa del Pintor en Port-Lligat. Antes de visitar physical map of united kingdom alguno de estos lugares, asegúrense del horario de visita!
La ciudad medieval de Peratallada en La Bisbal d' Empordá – centro de la alfarería physical map of united kingdom y capital del  Baix Empordá- physical map of united kingdom y el Puerto marítimo de Palamós también están cerca. Se trata de una rica  región de Cataluña que les ofrecerá toda su historia cultural, una gran  diversidad del paisaje y múltiples actividades para todos los gustos ( campos de golf, montar a caballo , vueltas en globo o avioneta) o simplemente  sumergirse en sus spas o deleitarlos con experiencias gastronómicas. Es la Tierra ideal para explorarla y descubrirla.  Es importante guiarse por los planos y asesorarse bien antes de salir para no perderse nada!
De vuelta al Hotel, al atardecer pueden relajarse en el jardín o en la piscina o en la comoda sala de estar hasta la hora de la cena, depende de la época. Después  pueden cenar en La Cuina del Teatre con excelentes opciónes de cocina mediterranea a razonables precios en un ambiente confortable y elegante, servidos con la simplicidad basada en una buena materia prima,  incluso, podrán  disfrutar de un buen vino sin pensar en conducir más tarde.
