Girona Central Suites is in Girona
Capital of the Costa Brava region and one of the capitals of Catalonia, Girona is a medium-sized city boasting a wealth of historic heritage. A university city and bustling service centre, in close proximity to the coast and the Pyrenees, and with an international airport, it is one of the most beloved cities in Catalonia.
Situated in the Ter valley at the point where the river enters the city lies the largest city park in Catalonia, La Devesa. The Onyar River, which flows through the historic quarter, has afforded an image which sets the city apart: a Florentine vision of earth-toned houses flanking the peaceful waters crossed by various bridges such as the Iron Bridge (by the architect Gustave Eiffel). The east bank of the river is home to the historic quarter while the west bank is home to the modern city. Just 30 minutes drive from the center of the Costa Brava and just over an hour from Barcelona, it has an excellent range of cultural, commercial and recreational offer.
If you have the opportunity to visit the Costa Brava you should not miss this city, which has the urban charm but also the cosy beauty of small towns. Like all corners of the Costa Brava, Girona is a city on a human scale so that it can perfect fit your travel needs and take advantage of its cultural offers as festivals, cultural activities, concerts... undoubtedly Girona is the city of the Costa Brava with an highest activity through all the year.
Strategic site on the northern route of the Via Augusta, it was first a Roman city, seat of the bishopric from the 5th century and capital of the earldom of Girona from the Carolingian era. Even in modern times, its resistance in the War against Napoleon (1808-1809) was legendary.
Its old quarter is dominated by the cathedral, with a majestic entrance (a Baroque staircase with almost one hundred steps). It comprises a large Romanesque bell tower and cloister, a Baroque façade and a Gothic nave. Moreover, it is the widest single nave (almost 30 metres) in medieval European architecture. The temple houses an extraordinary Romanesque masterpiece of textile art, the Tapestry of the Creation (11th century). The Chapter Museum exhibits an outstanding Beatus (10th century) by Ende, one of the few named female artists of the Middle Ages. Lovers of Romanesque and Gothic art must pay a visit to the Art Museum housed in the Episcopal Palace.
Behind the cathedral, the stroll along the ancient wall is an unrivalled vantage point. Visitors can gain an insight into Girona’s past at the History Museum. At the foot of the cathedral, visitors can explore the Call or Jewish quarter, few of which have been so well preserved. The streets surrounding Carrer de la Força and the house of Isaac the Blind (now the seat of the Jewish History Museum) were home to an active Jewish community for 600 years until their expulsion in 1492. The Call features its ritual baths, synagogues and an important Kabbalah school with such wise men as Nahmanides, more commonly known in Catalan as Bonastruc ça Porta.
Next to the cathedral, beyond the Sobreportes gateway, are two churches which form the silhouette of the old city: the Monastery of Sant Pere de Galligants (11th-12th century, a former Benedictine abbey), which houses the Archaeological Museum, featuring a magnificent Gothic nave and a cloister, and Sant Feliu, a stone’s throw from the River Onyar, a blend of different styles which in the presbytery conserves the early Christian tombs from the period of Christian persecution. It has a beautiful cloister and a two-floor octagonal bell tower, decorated with double glazing also in Lombard style. Sant Feliu church contains a chapel dedicated to the patron saint of the city. Legend has it that a swarm of flies emerged from the chapel which frightened off the French during the siege of 1285.
The Arab Baths constitute a unique Romanesque building which was designed according to a North-African model.
One of the most emblematic images of Girona is that of the buildings on the river Onyar, which crosses the city. This is a series of houses on the river, in height, which are painted in bright colors. The city has eleven bridges over the river, and the best known of all is the Eiffel Bridge, designed by Gustave Eiffel and built shortly before the famous tower in Paris.
Girona’s historic centre boasts outstanding architecture and unforgettable nooks and crannies: the Church of Sant Nicolau, the Gothic building of Pia Almoina (a medieval charitable institution), the convents of Sant Domènec (now a university building) and El Carme, the mansions flanking Carrer dels Ciutadans such as the Palau Agullana and the Fontana d’Or (which hosts fine exhibitions), the Plaça del Vi, and the archways on Rambla de la Llibertat. However, Girona also has a wealth of popular legends including the witch of the cathedral (a sinner turned to stone, now a gargoyle on the north façade of the cathedral), the Cocollona (the monster that crosses the river on nights with a full moon) and the bottom of the lioness which brings good fortune to those who kiss it (in front of the Church of Sant Feliu). Girona is a city through which to saunter, brimming with myriad restaurants, designer boutiques and handcraft stores.
Notable buildings on the other bank of the river include the Farinera Teixidor flour mill and the Casa de la Punxa, part of the legacy of the Noucentista architect Rafael Masó. Visitors to this part of the city can also explore the Cinema Museum, the only one of its kind in Spain. Housing the Tomàs Mallol collection, it is a veritable journey through the passion and ingenuity that made cinema possible.

Location in heart of the city. The balcony had a good view. The person who introduced us to the flat was very helpful and friendly. The balcony was very narrow and had a high concrete wall. It faced east and lost the sun after midday. The towels were brown and sheets red, making it hard to verify cleanliness. We think that something in the flat gave us an allergic reaction which caused itching.itching. |

The location is fantastic and the flat was nice, big and clean. We had to wait a bit as we arrived earlier, but in general we had a lovely stay! We had a few people constantly ringing on our door on the last night of our staty as they were looking for somebody to let them in and with small children sleeping it was not ideal to say the least! |

Good location. Clean and very spacious. Near shops and supermarkets. You have to call and set thee time when you arrive. The person to meet me was 7 minutes late. The rental agreement that you have to sign is in spanish and it's not comfortable to sign something that you can't read. It could be anything ! No soap in the bathrooms. |

Todo. La wifi perfecta, como en casa (fue una sorpresa, ya que no la publicitaban). La ubicación es inmejorable, en el mismo centro (todos los del grupo teníamos nuestras respectivas sucursales bancarias allí mismo, en la plaza del Marqués de Camp). El apartamento, un dúplex espacioso y con lo fundamental de electrodomésticos, menaje, dos baños amplios (uno superior y otro inferior); balcón alargado de al menos 7 metros con vistas a la plaza; cerca de todo, tanto del casco antiguo como de las estaciones de tren y de autobuses, a mitad de camino entre el Ter y el Onyar. Genial. Girona es una ciudad fantástica, limpia, tranquila, con un casco antiguo interesante, bonito, muy bien cuidado. La relación calidad/precio del apartamento nos pareció óptima, si bien es verdad que lo habíamos reservado con diez meses de antelación, al tener la gran suerte de conseguir mesa en el Celler de Can Roca el 1 de mayo de 2013 para el 6 de marzo de 2014: ¡Diez meses y cinco días esperando el momento para disfrutar del mejor restaurante del mundo!. A nada del apartamento, hay restaurantes, supermercados, cajeros, tiendas, etc. Nos sentimos muy cómodos, como en casa. Recomendadísimo. Las camas de futón resultaron duras al no estar sobre tatamis. Así mismo, el que no nos guardasen las maletas hasta la salida del tren, a las 13:01. Pese a que ya lo habíamos comunicado con antelación el día de llegada y nos dijeron que no había problema, la noche anterior, Elba, que fue quien nos recibió, nos dijo telefónicamente que teníamos que dejar el apartamento a las 11:00 porque a las 12:20 llegaban los nuevos huéspedes. Nos supo mal porque ya habíamos adquirido los billetes en Avant hacia Barcelona para las 13:01. El apartamento está a cinco minutos de la estación, y tuvimos que hacer tiempo cargando con las maletas. De haberlo sabido con antelación, habríamos comprado billetes para un tren anterior. |

L'appartement est idéalement placé à 5 minutes à pied de la gare, et du centre-ville. C'est un grand appartement, bien équipé, très propre, avec ascenseur. Le fait de devoir payer en liquide, alors que ce n'est pas indiqué sur la page Booking. Il n'y a pas de volet dans la chambre du bas et les rideaux ne couvrent pas toute la fenêtre. |

Es muy céntrico,puedes ir andando al casco histórico.El apartamento es bastante amplio aunque le faltan muchos detalles muy necesarios.No tiene microondas ni tendedero,le faltan luces de varias habitaciones y no funcionaban ni las puertas de la nevera ni la de la habitación principal!!!! Pero lo peor,con diferencia,es que de los 4 días que allí estuvimos,sólo funcionó el ascensor media tarde..llegar todos los días de viaje,cansados o subir y bajar el equipaje 4 pisos sin ascensor..fue terrible.Nunca nos llamaron para darnos no ya una compensación,ni siquiera una explicación.Cobran toda la pasta el primer día,con lo cual hay llevar todo el dinero en efectivo,incluyendo los 30 euros que cobran por la limpieza!!si después les llamas por el tema del ascensor o por las cosas que no funcionan,ni caso,ya han cobrado todo!!!es una enorme falta de respeto y de profesionalidad. |

Нам всем очень понравилась квартира. Нас ждали около 9 вечера, а мы приехали на полтора часа раньше. И чтобы мы не стояли на улице к нам выслали мужа и сына с ключами. Радушие, как я поняла, очень свойственно гостеприимным испанцам. В квартире было все очень чисто и все необходимое для приготовления еды. Самое главное преимущество этой квартиры - это близкое расположение от авто и ж/д вокзала - в 5 минутах!!!!! Это было очень удобно для поездок в ближайшие города (Фигейрас, Кадакес). И в то же время - эта квартира находится в 10 минутах ходьбы от исторической части Жироны! Хороший выбор! Encontrar plaza de aparcamiento gratis |

Fin beliggenhed og god rummelighed i lejligheden. Dejligt med to store badeværelser. Det kneb med at få varme i lejligheden, og så var der ikke så mange køkkenhjælpemidler. Eksempelvis var der blot en enkelt gryde. |
