Right at the entrance to the old town, on Carrer del Pont, the Hotel Els Jardins De La Martana Besalú is a 3-star hotel with a lounge with a fireplace and a library. It makes sense if you want to sleep right next to the Romanesque bridge and plan to arrive in Besalú in daylight.
Location and getting around
The address is Pont, 2. The medieval bridge, which gives the street its name, is less than a 5-minute walk away; the Plaça Major is about 5 minutes. From here you can see the whole historic centre on foot.
Girona is about 26 km away. To get here or to take trips around the area, plan on a car or a taxi.
Rooms and facilities
All the rooms have a private bathroom, a TV, a minibar and a telephone. According to the property itself, some have views of the surrounding mountains.
The shared areas are what sets it apart most: a lounge with a fireplace and a library for spending the afternoon. Wi-Fi is free throughout the building, and breakfast is continental.
There is no mention of air conditioning, a pool or parking of its own.
