Apartments in Girona

If you are looking at apartments in Girona, you have 273 options on HotelsCasa, with an average price of 211 euros per night and the lowest at 109. The city is not very big, so the location matters more than it seems. The old town, around the Cathedral and the Onyar river, is the most in-demand area: narrow streets, medieval atmosphere and everything on foot. There you will find examples such as the Catedral Boutique Studio or the Galligants Apartment, ideal if you want to wake up next to the monuments and not depend on transport. The downside is the nighttime noise in high season and that some old buildings do not have a lift.

If you prefer peace and easier parking, look for accommodation in the Eixample or near the Devesa park. They are flat neighbourhoods, with supermarkets and neighbourhood restaurants, and you are ten or fifteen minutes walking from the centre. Another option is the surroundings of the Barri Vell but towards the rambla de la Llibertat, which is still central but with more commercial life. For long stays or with children, apartments on the outskirts, such as those in Sant Gregori or Fornells de la Selva, are cheaper, but you will need a car. That said, the average price of 211 euros drops quite a bit in low season: from November to March, except for long weekends, you can easily find the minimum of 109.

As for getting there, Girona has an AVE train from Barcelona in 38 minutes and the airport is 12 kilometres away, with a direct bus to the centre. To get around, the city is covered on foot; the urban bus is only useful to go up to the Barri Vell from the station if you have suitcases. Before booking, check whether the apartment includes bed linen and towels, because some charge for them separately, and confirm whether the final price adds cleaning or tourist taxes. Also look at the photos of the kitchen and bathroom in detail: in historic buildings, hot water or pressure can be just enough. Finally, if you travel in August or during the Temps de Flors festival, book weeks in advance; availability drops quickly and prices rise above average.
