Gran Hotel Mas d'en Bruno

Without a doubt, this is the best vineyard hotel I have ever stayed at and my favourite hotel in Catalonia. What makes this place truly special is the sense of peace and tranquility you feel from the moment you arrive. Surrounded by vineyards and nature, it is the perfect place to disconnect, slow down, and enjoy a few days away from the noise and pace of everyday life. The hotel has been beautifully designed, and both the common areas and the rooms are exceptional. Everything feels thoughtfully conceived and perfectly integrated into the surrounding landscape, creating a wonderful feeling of calm, comfort, and well-being. Another highlight of our stay was the incredible hospitality of the entire team. Everyone was genuinely warm, attentive, and welcoming, always making sure we felt at home. The level of service throughout the hotel was outstanding. Mas d’en Bruno also has everything you could wish for in a dream weekend getaway: an exceptional restaurant, a fantastic spa, a beautiful outdoor pool, and stunning surroundings that invite you to relax and unwind. A truly memorable experience in every sense. We left already looking forward to our next visit.

We chose Bruno d’en Mas for a special occasion — my husband’s 60th birthday — and on paper it had everything we were looking for. The property is undeniably beautiful: the setting, the architecture, the attention to design are all lovely, and our photos don’t do it justice. Sadly, the warmth of the welcome didn’t match the beauty of the surroundings. Ahead of our stay, I messaged the hotel to let them know we were celebrating a milestone birthday, hoping they might mark the occasion in some small way. On arrival there was no acknowledgement of this whatsoever — no mention, no card, nothing. There was also no welcome drink or any gesture of hospitality, which we’d genuinely expected at a property positioned at this level. It’s the kind of small touch that costs little but makes a guest feel looked after, and its absence set the tone. We had booked a suite, and were disappointed to discover it had no outdoor space at all. When we asked whether anything could be done, we were offered a room with outside space — but at a “discounted” upgrade cost of €400 per night, which felt frankly excessive. Throughout this trip, every other hotel we’ve stayed in has happily offered a complimentary upgrade where one was available, so to be quoted such a sum on a special occasion left a sour impression. None of this is to take away from how striking the property is — it’s clear a great deal of thought has gone into the look and feel of the place. But a beautiful building can only carry an experience so far. What stays with you is how you’re made to feel, and on that front we left feeling like just another booking rather than guests marking something meaningful. For the price point and the promise, we expected more heart. A real shame, because with a little genuine care this could have been memorable for all the right reasons.

An experience I will not forget. From a fantastic staff to a flawless property, I cannot wait to come back. Thank you Carlos for setting a perfect tone as we walked in, and the staff followed your lead the ready of the way.

This place is stunning! Absolutely gorgeous. Definitely one of the nicest hotels I’ve stayed. The only reason I didn’t give it full 5 stars is the room was quite warm. 24-25 degrees when you’re trying to sleep is a challenge. The staff were excellent and tried to have someone come fix it but generally even after it was 23-24 degrees and we’d prefer to be able to control the temps ourselves. But otherwise this place was amazing and I definitely recommend!

Peaceful Mountain Retreat with Potential We had a garden suite, with a terrace overlooking rhe vineyards. The suite was very large and quite comfortable, beautiful design throughout the room and the entire hotel. The outdoor pool was long and gorgeous, but not heated and therefore not usable in mid November with high temperatues in the upper 50s F. My biggest disappointment was there was no fitness center, so nowhere to exercise. Walking along the narrow, winding mountain road was the only option, great for spectacular scenery, just be sure to watch for the occasional passing vehicle. We thought then about a massage, the hotel had a beautiful spa, but the massage therapist didn't work on Monday, our only full day at the resort. The restaurant served exquisite creations, artistic and flavorful. Prices very expensive and proportions very small. Even the wine by the glass pours were unusually stingy, which seemed odd considering the hotel is located in the middle of the wine growing region of Catalonia. The restaurant staff were friendly and knowledgable about the food and wines of the area. Maybe our expectations were too high because of the Travel & Leisure ranking of #1 resort in Europe and #6 in the world,(really??), or maybe it was that we visited during the off season, or from Sun - Tues or the resort is still too new, but the experience fell short of our expectations. Suggestions: install a fitness center, offer spa service 7 days/wk and offer complemetary wine tastings to promote wines of the region.

The facility is top notch and a good spot to explore the Priorat wine Region. The staff is very friendly and outgoing. The disappointment came from the restaurant undergoing a seasonal change of menu during our stay. The already limited choices were reduced further due to the availability of certain ingredients. Despite the many accolades and premature praises for the chef we found the dishes uninspired except for the lobster salad. All dishes arrived at our table lukewarm and the paella was borderline edible because of its high salt content. All in all dining was not an experience worthy of such a great hotel.
