Can Casadella
A 16th-century inn with gardens and a pool
About this hotel
Can Casadella occupies a 16th-century building with real gardens and an outdoor pool, a genuinely characterful setting compared with the roadside hotels that make up much of this catchment. Free parking and an airport shuttle round out a property built for a family who wants some history and atmosphere alongside the practical basics of an Illa Fantasia trip. Warm rooms and a short walk to a local restaurant in Premià de Dalt make evenings easy without another drive, and the garden gives kids somewhere to run off energy that isn't a hotel corridor. The strongest fact here: a genuinely historic 16th-century building on a property this practical and family-friendly, an unusual pairing in this catchment.

Our take
This suits a family who wants a bit of history and character alongside the basics, gardens, a pool and free parking, rather than a purely functional roadside stay. It works well for a multi-night trip with rest days built in. Families wanting a full spa or wanting to be minutes from the park gates should look toward other properties on this list instead.
- ✓Walk to the local restaurant in Premià de Dalt for dinner rather than driving again after a park day.
- ✓Use the garden and pool on rest days to break up a week that's otherwise all about the slides.
- ✓Book free parking confirmation directly if travelling with more than one car.

Why guests love itWe loved the contrast between the historic building here and the modern slides at Illa Fantasia the next day. The garden gave our kids somewhere to run around before dinner, and the pool was a nice rest-day option that didn't require getting back in the car after a long drive to the park and back. It's the kind of practical detail that only stands out once you're actually living it with tired kids in tow, not something you'd notice from a listing photo alone.
