Perks for the Parents

An architect-designed, 2-bedroom ground floor apartment in a historical building in central Girona. Sleeps 4. Our favorite part is the plunge pool in the private courtyard, bordered on one side by a tall stone wall and on the other by a manicured lawn and ideal for a heady summer’s day after exploring the cobbled streets nearby. The outdoor dining table is perfect for the warmer months and can seat the whole family, as well as a fire pit for toasting marshmallows on long light evenings.

Why Kids Love it

The apartment doesn’t come with toys or books for little kids, but there’s a good-sized second bedroom to sleep a family of 4 in total, and the property has WiFi throughout plus plasma TV with satellite channels and a DVD player so the kids can relax after busy days seeing the archeological sites in the city. The apartment is just 12-15 minutes’ walk to the city’s Devesa park - a huge green space to run off some steam.

Things to Know

Minimum stay: 5 nights. Rates listed are for 2 guests; extra guests and children are charged at €50 per person per night. Safety notes: the plunge pool is not gated. Family groups can also book the neighboring Apartment 1to sleep another 6 guests (10 in total). Ask the hosts for extra bookable services including breakfast, grocery purchases, a private chef, babysitter and daily cleaning. Car hire is a good idea for exploring the coast and surrounding countryside on a longer break; parking in the apartment’s garage is available by arrangement for €25 per night.

About the Location

The apartment is located in the heart of the medieval quarter, walking distance from Girona’s pavement cafés, Michelin-starred restaurants and museums. The nearest small grocery store/market is a 5-minute walk (note that most local cafés are closed from 4pm until 8pm) and it’s 10 minutes walk from the footbridges along the Onyar River. The area is very quiet at night, despite the central location. It’s also well placed for exploring glorious Catalonia by car, for an alternative take on the classic Mediterranean vacation. It’s around 20 minutes from Girona-Costa Brava airport; 80-90 minutes from Barcelona-El Prat Airport by car/taxi.

Accommodation Details

There’s a living room with a large floor space for playing and glass French doors opening onto the courtyard, which has a lawn and unheated plunge pool for humid days. The primary bedroom has large windows and a glass door leading to the courtyard (with a queensize bed) and the second bedroom is ideal for kids, with 2 twin beds. The bathroom has a farmhouse sink made of natural stone plus a generous grooming counter area.

Style Notes

Old meets new. With textured stone walls, crisp white linens in the bedrooms and the minimalist décor, the contemporary interiors bring a beautiful contrast to the original 16th century façade in honeyed stone. We love the clever hidden integrated kitchen and the exposed textures showing the history of the building.

Girona, Costa Brava

On the Onyar River

This historic city an hour north of Barcelona is known for its restaurants, but don’t panic if your kids aren’t into fine dining, there are fantastic bakeries and riverside cafés here too. Leave the car and stroller at home and pack comfortable shoes for a day wandering the city's cobblestoned streets, its museum and its cathedral. Then explore the coast to the north: a 40-minute drive will take you to fishing villages, Greek ruins and a castle once owned by Salvador Dali.
