We loved staying in Nuri's apartment in Girona. It was a privilege to be staying in the heart of old Girona while visiting the city and as the photos indicate, the apartment is beautifully and sensitively restored and decorated in keeping with its history. Joan Carles made us feel very welcome on our arrival, explained how everything worked in the apartment and recommended a restaurant to eat that was excellent. There were fresh flowers in the living room and a tray of fruit and food items to welcome us and information about what to see in Girona.
We used part of a day to visit Besalu, a beautiful little medieval town not far away. There is a bus every hour taking 45 mins each way, so it was easy to do and we strongly recommend it. Besalu is very picturesque and like Girona it is lovely just to wander around the streets of the old town. In Girona we enjoyed walking along the old city wall on our first evening, which gave us a sense of where we were. There are a number of little museums. We didn't have time to visit all of them, but the archaeological museum is nicely situated in an old church, and because we were staying in the old Jewish quarter, we visited the Jewish museum, which was very interesting. The creation tapestry in the cathedral is absolutely stunning and the cloisters are lovely. We have taken home very special memories of Girona, and our stay in Nuri and Joan Carlos' beautiful apartment in the old city was a key part of that experience. We wholeheartedly recommend.
