Vilafranca Petit Hotel

Housed in a superbly refurbished old mansion, the Vilafranca provides travelers with a more personalized lodging option brimming with character and charm, at a price that's reasonable.

As with any B&B, the feeling that you're staying in an old home is clearly evident, yet the rooms are clean, comfortable and feature private fully-equipped bathrooms, cable tv and safety boxes.

The young Spanish owners, who have a penchant for French Provencial design, have bestowed the interiors with lovely old antique furniture, fresh white linens, and décor of dried flowers and simple sketch art. Common areas include a living room with overstuffed sofas, and a cobblestone patio fringed in greenery…the perfect place to enjoy your complimentary daily breakfast.

The Petit Hotel is conveniently located close to the subway, the National Tourist Office (SERNATUR) and several embassies. You will also find numerous good restaurants on Providencia Avenue, one of the city's main places to shop, within walking distance.
