Sleepin Girona 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.

Lovely apartment. Well equipped. Great location It was difficult to find as the apartment is above a shop and the entrance is down the side. It wasn't made clear that there wouldn't be any way to gain access unless you had e mailed to arrange for them to meet you there- which I had done but didn't get a reply before we left England. We tried to ring but the number you printed was incorrect. A local person who knew the place was let by hotel historic phoned for us. Better instructions needed! Also we had to go out and buy toilet paper which I wouldnt expect |

Excellent location on Cuitadans, very convenient for sightseeing. Apartment comfortable, great welcome from Hotel Historic staff who brought the key. Easy check-in (I rang the hotel, and they arrived at the apt within 10 mins), and they also booked a taxi to pick us up outside the apartment on our last day. Very good value. The stairs leading to the apartment could be quite offputting. However, the stairs didn't pose a problem to us. Worth a climb to get to the lovely apartment! A little redecorating would make them quite acceptable (although not suitable for anyone infirm). |

Location is very central.It's close to historical sites ,restaurants and shopping. The noise from the street at night makes it difficult to sleep but some might say that's part of staying in the city!! |

Perfect location. Very friendly and helpful owners (we were locked out when we had an issue with the door and they were over in 15 mins). Noisey neighbours, plus some noise from the neighbourhood as you're right in the middle of the action. But Girona is not a hectic, crazy town, so this isn't too much of an issue. More annoying was the neighbour upstairs. |

La ubicación, decoración. El apartamento estaba reformado de hacía poco. Vistas al rio. Habitaciones amplias, lavabo amplio. En general muy bien. No hay ascensor, es un primer piso, pero al ir con maletas y cochecito era un poco engorroso. La limpieza era correcta en las zonas de lavabo y habitacion, pero en la cocina y zona de estar le faltaba un "a fondo". La vitro no la habían limpiado, y había marcas de aceite en los cajones de sartenes y utensilios. Poco menaje. No hay aire acondicionado y en verano debe ser un horno, pues da todo el sol en la zona de estar. Calle ruidosa, hasta las 3 hubo movimiento, hay distintos bares en la calle y plaza cercana y hasta que no cierran hay movimiento de gente. |

Nosotros estuvimos en el apto. de la C/. Ballesteries, ubicación excelente con vistas al río Onyar, calefacción y WIFI excelente. El tramo de escaleras hasta el apartamento es muy estrecho y está poco cuidado. No dispone de cortinas ni persinas en las ventanas que dan al río, y las encuentras a faltar cuando pega el sol o por la noche. Menaje de cocina muy básico y algo escaso. |

La ubicación no podía ser mejor, en el centro del Casc antic de Girona. Está muy bien remodelado como piso, con un poco de limpieza hubiera sido casi perfecto! - Estaba todo MUY sucio, grasiento, toallas sucias, sofá y cama con manchas, pelos, etc. - Nos dejaron 2 trozos de papel higiénico para 2 noches (3 días). - El horno no funcionaba (y lo preguntemos a propósito para no llevar la mitad de la comida que llevábamos). - No hay parking, pero bueno, después de media hora buscando sitio a 15minutos del apartamento, se puede encontrar. |

La posizione dell'appartamento era molto centrale e restaurato con molto gusto. La dotazione della cucina è migliorabile, gli utensili sono lo stretto indispensabile. La connessione wifi lavora "ad intermittenza". |

La ubicación La puerta y la escalera del inmueble es similar a una casa okupa,graffitis y suciedad . La puerta del apartamento no se puede cerrar con llave porque el bombín falla(tuvo que venir el dueño a repararla).En las habitaciones no hay cortinas y las persianas no bajan bien, eso unido a lo escandalosos que son los vecinos y el perro del tercer piso hacen que a las 8 de la mañana si o si estés en pie.La limpieza del apartamento es muy superficial (microondas,nevera ,platos y sofá dejan mucho que desear). Y para rematar la nochebuena quisimos calentar la cena en el microondas y saltaron los plomos,nos fue imposible localizar el contador (por si os pasa está detrás de un cuadro según nos comentaron al día siguiente los dueños). Podemos entender que hay cosas que no dependen directamente de los dueños pero hay otras que si . |

Genial, incluso la "sorpresa" de la escalera de vecinos añadió encanto. Muy muy recomendable. Lo único único único es que contábamos con que el horno funcionaría y no funcionaba. Compramos pizzas para calentar Y... no fue un éxito. Todo lo demás... PERFECTO |

Me ha gustado la ubicación céntica del hotel, la proximidad al Onyar, la independencia e intimidad, la limpieza, los servicios (incluida ADSL individual en el apartamento). En general nos ha gustado mucho. Que no tenga aire acondicionado, dando al rio, un día de calor con las ventanas abiertas y los mosquitos puede ser insufrible, suerte que ese día bajaron las temperaturas. Tampoco me gustó la atención telefónica de la Sra. de recepción ante un apagón eléctrico que sufrimos. |

La ubicación es perfecta tanto si es para visitar Girona, como de base para hacer excursiones por la provincia, situado en el casco antiguo de la ciudad. El apartamento es muy bonito y está bien equipado y tiene unas vistas muy chulas al río Oñar, ya que es una de las casitas que salen en las fotos. Lo único negativo es el aparcamiento, pero es normal por donde está ubicado y en los alrededores se puede encontrar sitio y sino hay parking cerca. Otro detalle es que el grifo de la ducha estaba medio roto y pedí que lo cambiaran y no lo hicieron, pero podías ducharte sin problema. |

Situació per poder conèixer el centre històric de Girona. Amplitud de l'apartament. Apartament de difícil accés per persones amb mobilitat reduïda tant en relació al barri (no es pot accedir adequadament amb cotxe perquè està limitat a veïns I no es pot aparcar aprop) ni tampoc en relació l'escala (sense ascensor I de difícil accés). |

отличные апартаменты, просторные, стильные, уютные и красиво декорированные, в центре старого города, великолепное месторасположение, лестница, хоть и крутая, но очень по-старому милая. между спальнями нет звукоизоляции. не то, чтобы тонкая стена, а она вообще отсутствует наверху, т.е. в нижней части стена есть, а сверху полностью открытый слуховой проход. иллюзия уединения. без малейшего преувеличения слышно даже шепот в соседней комнате, не говоря про храп или другие звуки, которые могут сопровождать ночь... |
