Castel Dali is an imposing but eminently livable castle located midway between the historic cities of Girona and Figueres (home to flamboyant Salvador Dali and the equally flamboyant Dali Museum) and the seaside beaches of the Costa Brava, just north of Barcelona.

Some sections of the castle date to the 11thC and it has welcomed kings, queens and other aristocracy over the centuries. Ten bedrooms, some suites, and 10 bathrooms make for a most inviting and comfortable home base. It's an ideal location for exploring the Catalan region, rich in excellent restaurants, charming villages, chic shopping and diverse cultural outings.

The imposing four storey building is the focal point at the heart of the quiet local village. Given its village setting, the castle has an "urban" garden: a broad elevated terrace, one section shaded by a large pergola that creates a cool outdoor living room with views to the Catalan countryside and mountains. The large "plunge" swimming pool provides quick refreshment or the Costa Brava beaches and Mediterranean are only 20 minutes away.

For very large groups, the neighboring annex adds an optional three extra bedrooms for up to 6 people.
