Can Mora de Dalt

Can Mora de Dalt is a family farmhouse dating from the fifteenth century, adapted as a hotel while keeping its original character. The result is a small, individual place rather than a standard coastal block, with the past still present in the building and the sea opening out beyond it.

For you, that means a stay with a clear rhythm: return from the coast, cool off in the pool, find a chair in the garden and let the day wind down without a timetable. After a day in the water, the air conditioning, minibar and private bathroom in your room cover the practical part; the terrace and outdoor seating take care of the less urgent business of deciding whether to go out again.

The hotel website is available in English, Catalan and Spanish. That helps you prepare your stay in English, while the hotel team’s spoken languages are not listed here.

You stay in Sant Vicenç de Montalt, on the Maresme coast of Spain, at Raval de Font Mitjana, 3. The hotel sits near the sea rather than directly on the sand: the beach is a five-minute walk away. Platja del Balí, Platja de Sant Vicenç and Platja dels Tres Micos are each about 1.4 miles away, with La Musclera Beach around 1.6 miles away.

Sant Vicenç de Montalt gives you a coastal base without putting you in the middle of a large resort. Iglesia de San Vicente is a seven-minute walk away, and Parque de los Hermanos Gabrielistes is about 0.7 miles from the hotel. For a meal away from the property, Tope Tapa is about 0.7 miles away, while Pizza Spazio y Trastevere is roughly 1 mile away.

You can also reach the coast by rail: Caldes d’Estrac station is about 1.4 miles away, and Sant Andreu de Llavaneres station about 1.9 miles away. Barcelona is close enough for a city excursion, but this address keeps the sea and the slower Maresme surroundings in the foreground.

The choice is mainly about how much room and how much sea you want. The sea-view double or twin rooms suit a couple who would rather wake up to the coastline than spend the night paying for space they will not use. The larger sea-view suites are the ones to consider when a separate sitting area and a more generous layout matter more than keeping things compact.

Family and junior-suite categories give you another way to trade a basic bedroom for more breathing room. Several rooms use a king-size bed, while the room options also include a double room with an additional single bed. Check the exact layout of your chosen category before booking, particularly if sleeping arrangements matter more than the name on the door.

Every room comes with air conditioning, a television, minibar, wardrobe or closet, bed linen and a private bathroom with shower, towels, toiletries and hairdryer. The minibar is useful for cold water when you come back tired and salty; the air conditioning does the less glamorous but important job of making the night recoverable. Free WiFi covers the hotel, and non-smoking rooms are available.

Breakfast is a continental buffet, with fresh pastries, cheese, fruit and juice. It is the sort of spread that lets you build a proper start before heading out, rather than relying on a coffee and optimism to carry you through the morning.

The breakfast is included in the stay, and the hotel’s food offering is centred on that morning service. For later meals, you have nearby options in Sant Vicenç de Montalt, including Tope Tapa about 0.7 miles away and Pizza Spazio y Trastevere roughly 1 mile away.

A minibar is available in the rooms, giving you somewhere to keep a drink for the return from the coast. Wine and champagne are also available as a hotel service.

The outdoor swimming pool is reserved for hotel guests and comes with sea views. It is a straightforward post-dive proposition: swim a little, find a sun lounger, and allow the legs to remember that they belong to you. Pool and beach towels, sun umbrellas and outdoor seating are available around the leisure areas.

The garden, terrace and sun terrace give you several places to sit without turning relaxation into a scheduled activity. There is also a games room and a shared lounge with television for the point in the afternoon when even a book feels like unnecessary exertion.

If you want to keep moving, horse riding, hiking, fishing and diving are available away from the property. A golf course is within 3 miles. The tour desk can help organise local plans, while the nearby beaches give you an easy half-day outing without committing to a major excursion.

Barcelona El Prat Airport is about 33 miles away by car, with a drive of roughly 44 minutes. Girona-Costa Brava Airport is also about 33 miles by car, with a drive of roughly 38 minutes. If you are driving from Barcelona, the route follows the C-32 towards Sant Vicenç de Montalt; after Mataró, take exit 108 for the town.

Free parking is available on site, and public parking does not require a reservation. WiFi is free throughout the hotel. Private check-in and check-out, luggage storage, concierge service and a tour desk are available when you need help arranging the practical side of the stay.

Check-in runs from 14:00 to 20:00, and you need to tell the hotel your expected arrival time in advance. Check-out is from 09:00 to 12:00. A photo ID and payment card are required at check-in, and children of any age are welcome. Pets are not allowed.

The hotel ’s character comes from the careful reuse of a fifteenth-century family farmhouse, opened as a hotel in 2008. The original details remain part of the building’s identity, alongside the garden, terrace and views towards the sea.

That is the environmental detail available here: a historic property adapted for modern stays, with the landscape and the old structure doing much of the work. No formal ecological certification or specific energy or water programme is attached to the hotel information.
