Celler Martín Faixó | Sa Perafita — Attraction in Roses

We were invited to stay overnight at this hotel by a friend from Cadaques. We had a most enjoyable stay, especially interesting because it coincided with the vendimia (grape harvesting), so breakfast outside was accompanied by a totally new experience for us, watching the grapes being bought in for pressing, etc. The hosts, especially Carme, Rafael and David were charming and very attentive. The room was rural in decor, with a very good bathroom and spotlessly clean, eqipped with a fridge and a safe, bathrobes, toiletries, etc. The breakfast is great - a jug of freshly squeezed orange juice, croissants, bread with tomato and a generous plate of cold cuts and cheese, plus yogourts, fruit and as much coffee as you wanted. The post-breakfast wine tour and tasting, with the very knowledgeable English-speaking David, was fascinating and included a tasting of 5 wines, naturally, we bought a few bottles to take home with us! The location is superb, too. However, this is a rural hotel and run as such, so not staffed between 5.00 and 7.00 p.m. so ideally it's best not to arrive then, although we did and found a note telling us what to do, so it wasn't a problem. There is no restaurant, but the terrace bar opens at 7.00 p.m and served wine, drinks, cold cuts, cheese, etc., which was definitely enough for us and a friend. (Or you can buy your own snacks and have the use of the dining room.) All very informal, relaxed and "special", we really enjoyed it and definitely intend to return. Gracias...

Not a real winery tour and disappointing wines. I'm sure it would be lovely to stay in the hotel and the family's restaurants in Cadaqués are wonderful. But if you're a serious wine lover then the wine 'tour' is a crushing disappointment. We were shown a sorting table plonked in the middle of a room which seemed to be the children's playroom, followed by a look at several stainless steel tanks shoved into a side room. The 'barrel room' was an odd selection of barrels also in an impossibly small room for the volume they produce. The real winery must be located in a different site to the one we were shown, and we felt conned. Our tour guide was a lovely woman but she had not be trained properly by the owners. Despite her obvious intelligence we were told quite shocking pieces of misinformation about wine. E.g "this wine is a blend of three grapes, which makes the alcohol higher...". There are so many wonderful wineries in the area charging a similar price for an authentic experience – plus the wines are made by true artisans who are working to express their terroir, not making basic wines for...
