"We travel extensively and rarely have we been to such a beautiful hotel set in the most fantastic location. Our room was clean and comfortable, our meals in the restaurant superbly presented by cheerful and helpful staff, and the young male receptionist so very friendly. We would normally have given the property full stars EXCEPT we were very unhappy with the fact that a dog was allowed to roam around the serving and seating areas whilst guests were having breakfast. Too unhygienic for us! It appeared to belong to a member of staff who was not at all concerned that the dog was wandering around, sometimes taking food from diners. This was so wrong!"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Besalu?
The best area to stay in Besalú is within the historic Old Town, particularly near the iconic Pont Fortificat (fortified bridge).This area is the heart of Besalú, characterized by its medieval architecture, cobblestone streets, and the striking 12th-century bridge that serves as its main entrance. The streets wind around central landmarks like Plaça de la Llibertat and the Monestir de Sant Pere, with local shops and eateries tucked into ancient buildings. It's a very walkable district, great for exploring on foot.Couples often find the Old Town ideal for a romantic and historic getaway. Staying here means you're steps away from the main attractions, including the Jewish Quarter and its mikveh (ritual bath), and can enjoy intimate dinners at local restaurants without needing transportation.
When is the best time to go to Besalu?
