Casa Cúndaro

Girona


The understated exterior of this medieval Jewish house hides five characterful rooms and four self-catering apartments (for two to five people), all mixing original open-stone walls and antique doors with modern comfort. It's right next to the cathedral – a boon or a bane, depending on whether you enjoy the sound of church bells.

The owners also run the upmarket Hotel Històric nearby, where 17 individually designed rooms blend historical flair (stone walls, beamed ceilings) and contemporary style (in-room baths), in a medieval building with Roman-era foundations.
