is my first comment about the Hotel Casa Torner even I stay there several time a year since 2 years. It`s a small hotel with just 16 rooms - direct at the la rambla in Vilafranca del Penedes.Rooms are very nice with a high standard bath or shower. Breakfast is a more individual one even they have a samll buffet due to the no of rooms. Fresh natural orange juice, very good espresso - fresh fruits etc. They offer a high class dinner - taste the pineapple soup for dessert - you will love it.Offering a whide range of good wine as they have a cooperation with Torres (winery)Staff is very friendly and always ready to help. Wifi free of chargeI am always happy to stay there.

We stayed in Hotel Casa Torner i G¿¿ell for 3 nights. Our superior room was spacey and the design (as in the whole hotel) outstanding and eyecatching. The only drawback is that it's takes a bachelor in electrotechnics to turn the lights on the way you want. But otherwise this hotel is super, with very helpful and friendly staff. The location is also very good: the market, shops, restaurants, caf¿¿s are all within a ten minute walk or less.

I've taken customers here twice on a visit to a local winery. These are all people who have traveled across Spain and beyond, and stayed in nice hotels. Everyone said that it was the best hotel of the trip (we stayed in 4) and some said it was one of the best hotels they had ever experienced in Spain. There is plenty to talk about but I'll stick to 3 main points that should interest any keen traveler:THE BED is a large king size bed with extremely soft and luxurious linen. The pillows are plentiful and were like a dream come true. I slept better than I have often slept at home after a good dose of wine! Also, the windows have blackout shutter so the room is pitch black. My room was at the back too, so practically silent. THE BATHROOM was fitted with the very highest standard of shower (first visit) and bath (second visit). This was a suite that would set you back around ¿¿1500 - 2000 if you were to buy it for your home. Also, the l'occitane toiletries had me feeling fresh and smelling like a posh cucumber for the night. THE BREAKFAST was absolutely first rate. From the high quality cured ham, to the cava, to the incredible coffee to beautiful poached egg and fresh toasted bread. AMAZING!Not one percent of me would stop me recommending this hotel to anyone. I am staying here again in June and will be excited to return.

I stayed at Casa Torner i Guell with my parents the first weekend of January. The online reservation process was a bit difficult, we weren't able to reserve two rooms at the same time because one room was for two people and the other room just one person, so we had to go through the reservation process twice. The hotel is easy to find, on the main (market) square in Vilafranca and walking distance from the town center. The rooms are absolutely gorgeous, very modern, but at the same time cosy and warm. Wonderful rain shower and grear L'Occitane amenities. Had a bit of trouble with th lighting, but was able to figure it out in the end. We had planned a wine tour at Torres, but never received a confirmation from Torres, so we asked the receptionist to call them. When no one answered at Torres, she suggested we visit Pares Balta, which is an ecological winery. It was simply the best wine tour we have ever taken. A superb and extensive explanation of the process and a delightful tasting at the end. Absolutely not commercial, as I expect the tour at Torres to be, with the train and recorded explanations and videos. I would highly recommend visiting Pares Balta. We also received a recommendation for dinner at El Mercat, which was heavenly. A 5-course set menu for 30¿¿¿ per person (not including drinks) with local produce and specialties. The service was exceptionally good as well.Breakfast the next day was great, absolutely amazing bread and the option to order an omelette or eggs included in the price. All in all I would absolutely recommend this hotel for anyone planning a visit to the Penedes wine region!

Panning a stop in the Penedes wine country, I booked a room for 2 nights through the hotel's website (it being by reputation the best--if not only--higher end hotel in the town) and received a confirmation email with full details and confirmation number. Having received this, I subsequently informed various contacts in the region and at home that it would be the place we could be reached on those specific days in September. Just over a week later we received an email from the hotel that they could not accommodate us after all as they were fully booked since July, explaining that it was an "informatic problem." To the hotel's credit, they tried to be helpful by suggesting alternatively that we should look in Sitges, a good ways away. Unfortunately all the better hotels there also had no availability at that point and we were left scrambling for a place to stay and re-notifying all of our contacts. So our only advice: book directly if you want to be sure of having a room at the hotel and don't trust their website.
