A family hotel at the entrance to the bridge

Els Jardins de la Martana occupies an early 20th-century building, completely renovated, on carrer del Pont, with the entrance right at the start of the Romanesque bridge over the Fluvià. It is the only building on that side of the bridge and has views over the town. Its gardens go down to the river. It presents itself as a family hotel, with a lounge with sofas and a fireplace, a library also with a fireplace and a dining room for breakfasts.

The rooms

There are eleven double rooms, for twenty-two people in total, renovated and adapted. All have their own bathroom, some with a shower and others with a bath, air conditioning, television with a USB connection, minibar and free wifi. The website does not say which room has views of the bridge or the garden: if it matters to you, ask when you book. Daily cleaning is included and the minimum stay is one night.

Breakfast and services

Breakfast is served in the hotel dining room. You can book a private jacuzzi with solarium by the hour and ask for a therapeutic massage or foot reflexology, also by appointment. The hotel has no restaurant advertised on its website; for dinner you have carrer del Pont and plaça de la Llibertat a few minutes' walk away, on the other side of the bridge.

Getting there and parking

Its address is carrer del Pont 2. There is a public car park about 30 metres from the hotel, an advantage in a town whose historic centre reserves interior parking for residents. You enter the old town by crossing the fortified bridge, and from there you have the Jewish quarter and the mikveh, Sant Pere and plaça de la Llibertat and the Museu de Miniatures. In September, the hotel is right on the route of Besalú Medieval.

Tips

Cross the bridge early Sleeping at the head of the bridge, you can walk across it before the day's visitors arrive.
