Els Jardins de La Martana

When we arrived they said they wanted us to feel at home - and they really made us feel like that, showing us round, leaving out snacks in the kitchen area to graze on and providing several beautiful spaces to hang out. This gorgeous old house is in a fantastic location right by the bridge, and has an old-world elegance and charm about it. In the evening the restaurant below closes so you can take drinks down to the terrace with one of the best views in town. The cool jacuzzi on the roof again has fantastic views and is a great spot for a relaxing dip when you need to unwind. A really special couple of nights - would highly recommend you ignore the three star rating, knowing if you book this place you will be staying somewhere with real character.

We loved everything from the warm welcome on arrival, helpful and friendly staff, beautiful situation and art deco building. It was comfortable and excellent value . The views from the terrace are superb. We loved the invitation to eat our own picnics .. what more could you want

Both the hotel building and the setting/location are so special! This is truly a historic building right at the end of the Roman Bridge that has been modernized but has kept the original tile floors and ceiling paintings etc etc. Walking around on the different floors and areas is almost like going to a museum but it's all comfortable for sitting and enjoying yourself. We had room 1 which has a balcony with the amazing view of the Bridge and the town and you just don't want to leave at all. The room was really nice in every way. They even give you free bottles of water every day! Breakfast buffet was great with many options and a really nice patio where everyone ate and enjoyed! And parking was free in a lot next to the hotel and across the street from it, so we always got a spot if/when we went off to explore other towns. Staff were all very helpful, offering advice and answering questions. This is definitely the place to stay when visiting Besalu!! We enjoyed 3 nights here!
