The best area to stay in Horta de Sant Joan is within the historic village itself, particularly around the Plaça de Sant Salvador.This area offers an authentic experience with narrow, winding streets, traditional stone houses, and stunning views of the surrounding natural park. The village is built on a hill, with the convent of Sant Salvador at its highest point, and the main square, Plaça de Sant Salvador, forms the heart of the community. It's a compact area, making it very walkable, and most local shops and eateries are found within these ancient walls.Couples looking for a peaceful and culturally rich escape will find this area particularly appealing. You can easily spend your days exploring the medieval architecture, visiting the Picasso Centre, or simply enjoying a coffee in the square. The village offers a relaxing base for exploring the natural beauty of the Els Ports Natural Park, with many hiking and cycling routes starting nearby.For those prioritising direct access to nature and a bit more seclusion, staying just outside the village centre, perhaps in a rural guesthouse or a 'masia' (traditional farmhouse) on the outskirts, is an excellent option. These properties often provide more space and direct access to walking trails, while still being a short drive or a pleasant walk from the village's amenities.
