Hospes Villa Paulita is a boutique hotel in picturesque Puigcerda. A luxurious and charming place to stay, it's made up of a historic redbrick villa, stylish modern annex and verdant gardens. You'd be at home spending whole days relaxing around the grounds here, taking in stunning views of the Pyranees in one direction and the lake in the other.

The facilities

Facilities are plentiful at this attractive villa, despite its small 'n' intimate boutique feel. Gourmet restaurant L'Estany de Puigcerda serves elegant regional cuisine in a dining room overlooking the lake, and toe-tingling treatments can be taken at the Bodyna Spa. There's an indoor swimming pool and fitness centre to keep you feeling tip-top.

The rooms

38 rooms are crisp white dens of tranquillity, with wooden slatted ceilings and lovely garden, lake and mountain views. All come complete with flat screen TVs, Egyptian cotton bed linen and cosy Terry robes.
