All year round fun

Sant Feliu is a bustling harbour and town with the strapline “open all year” and they are absolutely right about that. Look at the slider for a few images of Sant Feliu, the sandy beach, the marina and the rest!

And remember, most of this is a stroll away from Marona…

Should you book with us, you gain access to the guest-only areas of this website which give you lots of practical information, ideas for day trips to the surrounding areas and much much more…

There is any number of bars and restaurants to suit all tastes and pockets. If you have booked with us, go to the guests’ private area for a few suggestions…

There is a market in the market square (surprisingly!) every day except Monday where you can find the freshest fruit and vegetables. In the indoor market you will find fish, meat, cheese and foodie stalls for your delectation.

There is a reasonable sized supermarket also within walking distance and many others a short drive away.

One of our favourite food shops is Can Prat (OK you English, “prat” is Catalan for “field”!!). There you will find Catalan ladies getting their “takeaway” lunch or dinner. More of this and ideas of what to try in our private guests only area.

The shops are fabulous – this is quite a well healed place after all. Lots of clothes, furniture and other items as you would expect.
