This hotel is located in a spectacular setting, a unique place where comfort and quality are in harmony with the natural environment. The story of this convent begins in the 15th century, when a huge storm forced an Italian boat onto the shores of Sa Riera. Sailors who survived the incident celebrated their good fortune by founding a chapel near a medicinal spring in the nearby forest. It is a location rich in history, with tales of mysterious hermits, pirates and religious orders. The open sea and the Cala Sa Riera beach are both about 500 m from the hotel, guests will reach the nearest shops, links to the public transport network, and the centre of Begur with its restaurants, bars, and nightclubs in approximately 800 m. Further shopping venues can be found in Girona, about 50 kilometres away.

Constructed in 1730, the hotel comprises a total of 25 rooms, of which one is a single and two are suites. Amongst the air-conditioned business hotel's facilities count a foyer with 24-hour reception, a bar, a café, restaurant, conference facilities, and a TV lounge. Further offerings include the public Internet connection, a W-LAN access point, and both room and laundry services. Bicycle hire is also available, and there is parking for those arriving by car. Today, the natural terraces around the convent are the perfect place to enjoy its tranquillity: somewhere to read a good book in the shade of a cypress or take a refreshing swim in the pool. The original structure of the building has been maintained, together with the special ambience that evolved there. The chapel has been converted into a library with information about the region and its inhabitants. There is also an area for students of nature conservation.
