Just a hundred miles away from vibrant Barcelona, Girona is one of the principal cities on the “Wild Coast” or Costa Brava. This important Catalan city combines ancient history, mild Mediterranean climate, an almost non-stop series of festivals and cultural events, hot and happening discos, night-clubs and bars, great shopping areas and fairs, an array of restaurants serving local and international cuisine and wines, wonderful local products and being located at the confluence of four rivers, there's plenty for the active and adventure-seeking visitor to do as well. The city with its glorious mountain views and riverine landscape is often by-passed since tourists flock to Costa Brava's famous beaches and may thus miss an unforgettable holiday experience here. Cruises along the scenic River Onyar, the pedestrianized city center, the fascinating Jewish Quarter and other wonderful sights are unique and not to be missed.
One of the most popular types of accommodation for today's discerning tourist is the rental type – this could be either villa, rural home, holiday homes, apartments, condos or luxury houses. All these are available at different price-ranges, size and quality. The kinds of features offered by each of these will also differ depending on location and budget. If you're opting for a rental accommodation in Girona, it's wise to plan ahead, as it can be a challenge to get accommodation during the peak season (June-September, Christmas-New Year or Holy Week) and though Girona is comparatively unspoiled by tourist hordes, the city does get lively and busy during these times.
Apartment rentals are very popular among vacationers in Girona. Most of them have wonderful ocean, mountain or river views as it's difficult to get away from these three when you're here! A good many fine-quality apartments and condos are available in the old Barri Vell quarter which is right next door to the Cathedral and minutes away from the Arab Baths and Jewish Quarter. Some of these condos are superbly renovated ancient monasteries or convents, where you can still get a glimpse of the medieval stone walls and gateways. The condos/apartments are fully-equipped with all modern conveniences, en suite baths, patios and terraces. If you're on a budget, a loft apartment is perfect. These are ideal for couples or a small family and many of them are spacious, New York style places, with stunning views of the Cathedral and its grounds. They may also have roof-top patios from where you glimpse Girona's famous sea/mountain/river panorama.
Other accommodation in Girona and surroundings includes country farm-houses and estates, restored mansions, villas, antique houses, luxury residences and charming town-houses. Depending on your holiday plans, budgets, requirements and preferences, you can choose the most appropriate setting and use it as a base for your unforgettable Costa Brava holiday.
