Tossa de Mar on the Costa Brava pairs a historic old town with a wide sandy beach, and aparthotels here give you the space of an apartment plus hotel conveniences. Expect kitchenettes for self-catering, pools for afternoon dips, and balconies that overlook the Mediterranean or the castle. Budget-wise, rates are moderate compared with coastal resorts further north; consider apartment-hotels like Medplaya Aparthotel Sant Eloi, set among pine groves 3 km from the beach, or Feelathome Vil-la Romana, just an 8-minute walk to Platja Gran with sea-view pool and family rooms.
For a central stay, Apartamentos El Sol earns a Superb guest score of 92 and sits 5 minutes from Platja Gran, providing kitchenettes and a solarium. Ght Aparthotel Tossa Park, located 10 minutes from the beach and a short walk to the Castle, offers a quiet garden area and 24-hour vending machines. Most properties include free Wi-Fi, family rooms, and options for private parking, though parking may cost extra. The best neighborhoods for convenience are the old town near the castle or the seafront strip, where you can walk to restaurants and the beach without a car.
