I stayed at the Villa Emilia for 4 nights in November for a girly getaway with a friend and absolutely loved it! I booked through lastminute.com & managed to book 4 nights for the bargain price of £285... that worked out at only £142.50 each for my friend & I so obviously we were very pleased we'd found a bargain!
We flew with Ryanair to Girona airport & got the Barcelona Bus into the city. It was all very easy except that we came out of the wrong exit of the bus station & got a bit lost trying to find the metro stop! We discovered later that if we had just turned left instead of right we would've found a metro stop in about 30 seconds!!
Once we found the metro it was very simple to reach the Villa Emilia... Rocafort metro on the red line is about 200m from the hotel entrance. On arriving at the hotel, my friend thought the hotel was actually a swanky bar before we walked past the entrance & realised it was our hotel... needless to say we were very impressed with the overall appearance of the place.
The staff were very friendly throughout the duration of our stay & spoke very good english. The room was lovely & the maids ensured that it was spotless every day when we returned from a long day of sight-seeing.
The Villa Emilia is about a 10-15 minute walk from Placa Catalunya & La Rambla where the real tourist centre is. We found lots of nice restaurants in the area, although the nightlife wasn't to our taste... maybe we were looking in the wrong places but the hotel bar was definately our preferred location after eating out in the city..... especially since draft beer was only 2 euros a glass!! A bargain price considering the posh appearance of the hotel!
Another thing to note is that on the thursday, friday & saturday night the hotel had a piano player playing live music in the bar, which made for a very nice, relaxing atmosphere. The villa emilia definately made our stay in Barcelona wonderful!
Oh and a final point.... the bathroom was lush!! The toiletries were even gorgeous... I'd say it was the nicest hotel bathroom I've ever seen! Definately more than worth the price!
