Internet connection, a W-LAN access point, and both room and
laundry services. Bicycle hire is also available, and there is

around the convent are the perfect place to enjoy its tranquillity:
somewhere to read a good book in the shade of a cypress or take a
refreshing swim in the pool. The original structure of the building
has been maintained, together with the special ambience that
evolved there. The chapel has been converted into a library with
information about the region and its inhabitants. There is also an
area for students of nature conservation.

The rooms are distributed across two storeys, and each has its own
characteristic blend of quality materials and fine workmanship. All

or terrace. The heating and air conditioning are individually

and in the evenings, guests may select dishes from an à la carte
menu. Bed and breakfast is bookable. In Begur guests will find
dishes typical for the region, consisting of fresh vegetables, sea
food, and a wide range of meat and regional sausages. A good meal
should always be accompanied by a good wine, and the region is
proud of its own "Denominación de Origen Empordà-Costa Brava" with
its excellent wines and champagnes. Dishes range from the
traditional "Suquet" of rock fish, black rice, and "garoinada"
(pasta with sea urchins), to the "Mar y Montaña" (Sea and Mountain:
chicken with shrimps). Cuisine featuring mushrooms and snails is
also popular. The gastronomic calendar is adapted according to the
season.
