Cycling hotels in the heart of Girona
If you love historic architecture, then Girona cycling hotels in the heart of the city will certainly appeal. The beautiful old town is right on your doorstep, and cycling through the weaving streets around the Cathedral is an easy way to explore.

Casa Cundaro is a small guesthouse-style accommodation option set in a traditional Jewish house amongst the Jewish Quarter, and converted into a mix of bedrooms and self-contained apartments. It’s a three-star property with simple décor and furnishings, made all the more charming by its exposed stone walls.
It’s a secondary property to the larger Hotel Històric, and while it has its own internal courtyard that’s the best option for cycle storage, some guests prefer to store their bikes in the storage room at the hotel, instead of at Casa Cundaro itself.

We stayed in the Hotel Ciutat de Girona last week. Very cyclist friendly, right in the heart of the city and close to everything. They have a superb bike store in the basement with full tools etc. Breakfast was excellent and the staff really helpful.
Hi Richard, thanks for sharing this!
Posting these notes on behalf of reader, Darrin Bizruchak, with his permission. Darrin stayed at Hotel Mas Pelegri in April 2023.
Darrin said “I spent a wonderful 11 nights at the Hotel Mas Pelegri near Serinya. The hosts, Gareth and Fiona were wonderful and run a great small hotel that really caters to cyclists. The setting, next to a horse farm and overlooking Mare du Mont couldn’t be more serene. It’s a million miles away from the hustle and bustle or Girona, yet close enough to Banyoles (by bike) for a nice lakeside lunch.
The breakfasts at the hotel were very good, the hosts would prepare omelettes, eggs, pancakes, toast, fruit, cheese and meat – as much as you wanted. It was a great way to prepare for a long day in the saddle. The dinners (I only had one) were also very good. I choose to eat after my long rides in Banyoles and then ride back to the hotel (about 10km). I still have a tough time with the 8pm and later dinner hour in Spain.
Being a little further North of Girona, the hotel gives you options around Mare du Mont and Olot. At the same time it also makes Vallter 2000 within reach. At about 160km door to door with a category 1 climb to over 2000 metres it makes for a long day – almost 8 hours for an old guy like me!
– Close to Banyoles (15-20 min by bike) for a lunch or early dinner
– Great hosts and staff that are always willing to go the extra mile to help out – provide route recommendation, assist in bike set-ups….
– Also have a dog (big friendly lab) – they did keep the dog away from the guests (I would have preferred they let her roam free – I am a huge dog fan)
– 20 min walk to Serinya – small village with a convenience store (for basics) and a bar/restaurant
– 30 min from base of Mare du Mont and 30 min base of Rocacorba
– No TV in room – not a problem and did not miss it
– Solid and reliable wi-fi throughout hotel – including rooms (no charge)
– Good comfortable beds”
