So many summers lived in Torre Valentina… and this year we celebrate 60.
We are not just talking about accommodation, but about a family story, roots, and moments shared with all of you.
A LITTLE HISTORY · From rural origins to the birth of tourism
Before holidaymakers arrived, Calonge and Sant Antoni were peaceful villages with an economy based on farming, vineyards, and fishing. But from the 1950s onwards, the area began to change: with the arrival of European tourism, the first paid holidays, and urban development, the Costa Brava started to open up to the world. Sant Antoni, and especially Torre Valentina, became a privileged spot, seeking balance between progress and natural charm.
OUR STORY · The beginnings of Apartaments Gibert
Our family has grown within this family business, sharing values, dedication, and effort over generations. Over the years, we have improved, adapting to new times and incorporating sustainability criteria that have always been part of our daily life. Now, this constant work is also backed by certifications that help us stay organised, measure our impact, and give value to all our efforts.
Our story is also marked by personal moments we hold dear: last summer we said goodbye to our grandmother, a beloved key figure who, together with our grandfather, laid the foundations of this project sixty years ago. We also bid farewell too soon to Jaume, who continued this journey for many years with passion and commitment, always supported by his wife, Nuri. His memory is very present in everything we do: in the personal touch, in the attention to detail, and in the love we put into our work with dedication.
Today, Apartaments Gibert are three small, charming buildings right on the seafront, with fully equipped kitchens, wifi, terraces with beautiful views, parking, and spaces adapted for pets and bicycles.
Staying true to our original principles and grateful for the path we’ve travelled, we look to the future with excitement, eager to continue being part of your holiday memories, welcoming you as if you were at home, as always 💙
YOU · Our true driving force
Families from near and far, loyal couples, and visitors from all over the world have accompanied us throughout the years: many returning year after year, others just passing through, and some coming back after many years to relive memories. We are touched to see how generations reunite and how Torre Valentina remains part of your story.
Throughout these six decades, we have grown together, building memories that are part of many generations’ lives. This celebration is a tribute to you, who make this house much more than just a place to stay.
With all our heart, thank you!
