Apartment Ducado 22, L'Escala

Apartment Ducado 22 is a 3-star apartment stay in L'Escala, Spain, suited to travellers who want space to live at their own pace rather than follow a hotel schedule. The key advantage is location: you’re within easy reach of the coast, with Platja de Riells about 1.5–2 km away and Cala Montgó around 4 km, so beach time is practical even on short stays. For culture and history, the Ruins of Empúries are roughly 3 km from the apartment, making it an approachable day trip by car or local transport.

Guests typically mention the apartment layout as a real plus for longer visits, especially the fully equipped kitchen and the more spacious living areas that help families manage meals and downtime. Couples also tend to value the homelier feel, describing evenings as calmer than they expected compared with busier seafront hotels. Some reviewers highlight that the town centre is close (about 1 km), which makes it easier to pick up groceries or dine out without relying on taxis.

In terms of what to expect, this is a straightforward self-catering base rather than a full-service property, so it suits people comfortable planning their own meals. If you’re travelling with kids, the extra room and kitchen setup are often the deciding factors. If you’re visiting for sightseeing, you can pair a morning at Empúries with an afternoon on the beach, returning to the apartment for a relaxed reset. The street address is Apartment Ducado 22 in L'Escala, in the Empordà coastal area of Catalonia.
