SM Hotels on the Costa Brava
SM Hotel Turissa**, our two-star hotel, is located in the heart of the picturesque town of Tossa de Mar and offers an unforgettable experience by the Mediterranean Sea. Enjoy a comfortable and relaxing stay in an environment that combines Catalan tradition with modernity.

Beaches
Just 500 metres away, you will find the spectacular Playa Grande, a sandy beach with stunning views of the imposing Vila Vella castle. For a more intimate experience, we recommend exploring the other beaches and coves that dot the coastline of Tossa de Mar, such as Platja Gran, Mar Menuda, Cala Bona and Cala Pola.
La Vila Vella
La Vila Vella is a walled town that was built between the 12th and 14th centuries to defend against pirate attacks, and it is very well preserved, almost completely intact. As you wander through its cobbled streets, you will come across the Tossa lighthouse, which is now home to an interpretation centre, as well as the Can Magí watchtower, also known as the Torre dels Moros, the Casa del Batlle, which is now the Municipal Museum, and the ruins of the old Gothic church of Sant Vicenç. It is just a ten-minute walk from the SM Hotel Turissa.


La Villa dels Ametllers
La Villa dels Ametllers is one of the most important Roman constructions still standing. Located on the slope of Can Magí and facing the sea, it consists of two parts: the ‘pars urbana’, where the magnificent thermal complex, mosaics, stuccoes, fountain and pool with a beautiful set of marble sculptures stand out, and the ‘pars fructuaria’, which constituted the industrial area. This is where the warehouses and production rooms were located, where wines, oils and salted fish were produced and cereals were stored. It is a one-minute walk from SM Hotel Turissa.
Shopping and dining
La Vila Nova is the town’s main shopping area. Here, you will find a wide range of restaurants where you can sample the local cuisine, which is mainly based on fresh fish and seafood. While you’re here, be sure to try Cim i Tomba, a traditional Tossa de Mar recipe of hake, monkfish and prawns. In addition, the weekly market opens on Rambla Pau Casals every Thursday. It is a ten-minute walk from SM Hotel Turissa.
