Where to Stay in Tossa de Mar Old Town: Accommodation Guide 2026

Looking for where to stay in Tossa de Mar old town? This guide helps you find the perfect accommodation at the foot of the Vila Vella, metres from Gran Beach and with direct access to the best restaurants and bars in town. Tossa de Mar is a compact destination: choosing the right location makes the difference between a comfortable holiday and an unforgettable experience.

Why stay in Tossa de Mar town centre

The old town of Tossa, known as the Vila Vella, is the historic and tourist heart of the municipality. Staying in the centre means being able to stroll through its medieval streets at any time, enjoy breakfast with sea views and reach Gran Beach in less than five minutes on foot. Furthermore, the centre concentrates most services: supermarkets, pharmacies, bike rental and bus stops towards Lloret de Mar or Girona.

Advantages of staying in the centre

• Pedestrian access to everything: from the Vila Vella to the lighthouse, passing through Gran Beach and the marina.
• Authentic local atmosphere: the central neighbourhoods maintain the charm of a fishing village, with cobbled alleys and stone houses.
• Gastronomy within reach: the best fresh fish restaurants and seafood rice dishes are just a few steps away.
• Safety and tranquillity: Tossa de Mar is a peaceful town, and its centre is especially safe for families with children.

Types of accommodation available in Tossa centre

Tossa de Mar offers options for all budgets, but not all offer the same value for money or ideal location.

Chain hotels

Large hotels are usually located on the outskirts or on the access road. They typically include a swimming pool and parking, but require a car or public transport to reach the centre. Additionally, their rates on platforms like Booking or Expedia include 15-20% commissions that guests end up paying.

Tourist apartments

A popular option for families or groups of friends. They allow you to cook and save on meals, although many lack a physical reception and personalised service. In high season, prices can easily double.

Family-run hostels and guesthouses

The most authentic and economical option. Hostels in the centre, such as Hostalet de Tossa and El Bergantí, combine an unbeatable location with personalised treatment. They are usually located in renovated historic buildings, with clean rooms, high-speed Wi-Fi and, in many cases, breakfast available (not included in the room rate).

Our recommendation: charming accommodation in the centre

If you value location, family treatment and fair prices, we recommend considering a boutique hostel in the historic centre. From Hostalet de Tossa and El Bergantí we are less than three minutes’ walk from Gran Beach, a stone’s throw from the Vila Vella and surrounded by the best restaurants on the Costa Brava.

• Hostalet de Tossa: renovated rooms with private bathroom, fans and breakfast available (not included in the room rate). Ideal for couples and families looking for comfort without sacrificing local charm.
• El Bergantí: a more intimate and youthful atmosphere, perfect for groups of friends or travellers who prefer close treatment and competitive prices.

Both properties offer direct booking through our official website, which guarantees the best available price without intermediaries or hidden commissions.
