About us

Long-time lovers of the Baix Empordà, in 2016 we decided to leave our city lives and look for a place in the heart of nature, close to the coast yet set back from its bustle, to create a boutique hotel true to our own values: comfort, simplicity and hospitality, so that everyone feels at home.

After four years of hard work and personal investment, it is with great pleasure, and humility, that we have welcomed you since 2021 to our small, charming hotel at the foot of the Gavarres, a stone’s throw from some of the Costa Brava’s most beautiful coves. With Mas del sol, we hope to share a part of our dream with you for the length of your stay.
