You will not need a thing to stay in this beautifully renovated building in the heart of the historic old quarter along the Onyar River in the picturesque medieval city of Girona, Spain. Suitable for a family or a small group of friends, this spacious two-story, condominium is a comfortable, convenient apartment for a short holiday or a long-term rental. Ideal for cyclists, professors, writers and artists.
Girona (Gerona) is ideally situated in northeastern Spain, in Catalonia's Costa Brava, a short drive to the Mediterranean coast, France and the Pyrenees, and just an hour by train to Barcelona. The city is rich in recreational opportunities and a living history.
Recognized for Lance Armstrong and his cycling practice (see NYTimes feature) as well as the Spanish center of the Jewish Kabbalah, made famous by Madonna. With Girona as your base, every direction you pass through medieval villages set in unspoiled countryside. Within 30 minutes perfect beaches and dramatic coves await you.
The Rose Condo is in a remodeled 18th Century elevator building, and it is both tastefully furnished and fully-equipped. Within its dramatic 114 square meters (1227 square feet) are two bedrooms (plus a sleeping loft), two full, all-tile baths, a large living-dining room, a modern kitchen with granite and tile, plus two balconies. Beautiful year-round, this apartment has everything you might need for your ultimate comfort and convenience.

I have not stayed in the Rose Condo but have lived part time in Girona for 10 years. I recognize the view from the condo and know it to be a terrific location as our flat is just around the corner. Professional Cycling and now Cycling Vacation Tours keeps us comming back to Girona. If you would like any positive information regarding Girona feel free to contact us on the web by doing a search on my name. Who knows, maybe we will see you on La Rambla having coffee or sipping some of the best red wines available.

We stayed at the La Barca apartment in the dead of winter, and had a terrific time there. The apartment is bright and airy (but not cold) and the colors Susan used to decorate are rich and elegantly European. The apartment arrangement is very convenient, with a generous and open living & dining area, with lovely tall windows, and comfortable bedrooms well away from there. The location is great--It's a quiet street in the old section of Girona, & you can walk to everywhere interesting in the town, and we especially enjoyed romantic riverside walks as the sun set.

For anyone who has been to bustling Barcelona, Girona is a treat. It has the great location and climate of Barcelona but is more accessible and quaint, with lots of history and a great selection of excellent shops, cafes and restaurants. It is a perfect place to center yourself for taking day trips to the coast (first time I swam in the Mediterranean!) and lovely villages like Cadaques. (A car is an absolute must.) It is also close to France and the Pyrenees. The rental unit on La Barca is a great spot, very comfortable for four but could house six for a few days. It's quiet although centrally located near the historical center of Giona. And everything you need is there--including washer/dryer--and a lovely view.

centrally located near the beautiful square with all of the historic sites and the river; short walk to the newer part of Girona; short walk to the train station; wonderful and cozy tapas bars and cafes just a couple of blocks away, especially the one where we went and toasted our own bread by the fire. The apartment itself is very cozy, bright and sunny with lots of natural light during the day, and has a nice balcony.
