Hostal Santa Gemma

The three-star beachfront hostal on the N-II coastal road at km 652, Hostal Santa Gemma sits in Sant Vicenç de Montalt — a small Maresme Coast town roughly 40km north of Barcelona, reachable by RENFE R1 train from Passeig de Gràcia in under an hour.

An outdoor pool and direct beach access make it a practical summer base for families; the property offers family rooms, free parking, and on-site breakfast — amenities that reduce reliance on a car once checked in. The bar handles drinks through the evening without guests needing to venture far.

Check-in opens at 15:00 with check-out at noon. The N-II highway position suits drivers heading between Barcelona and the Costa Brava, and free WiFi covers all rooms.
