The quirky nature of the historic building is something that you cannot simply build. The easy going attitude offering customers flexibility that most commercial hotels would make you pay for.
Casa Marcial (adults only) is located in the beautiful town of Besalú, just 100 metres from the mediaeval bridge. This property offers a garden with an outdoor pool and great views.

The room was clean, the fittings for the windows were like from an old farmhouse, which was a really nice touch. The ambience of the location was really nice.

Cal Arxe is a stunning, compact, four storey town house. We didn't make full use of the lovely kitchen and dining room area as we only had an overnight stay.
The pool table was an added bonus

The view and the location is AMAZING. We were lucky it was low season so we also had a very private porch, otherwise it couls be a bit too... neighbourly :)

The area is quiet in a small village and I was looking for that. It is nice that there is a small sitting space where you can relax if you don’t want to be in the room all the time.

The location is perfect, remote yet very close to Besalú and not far from Banyoles. Magnificent views of the mountains giving the place a unique calmness. It is an oasis of peace where you can connect with the nature that surrounds you. The hosts are very accomodating and friendly and the accomodation spotlessly clean.

It's a wonderful little place and I'm sure there's more to explore than we saw. Just one tip: the churches seem to be accessible by appointment only (one can only peek in through glass at the entrance), which is a pity because there are some wonderful, very old ones. If I were to go next time, I'd arrange with the tourist office to visit them. The Tourist Office were wonderful about helping us see the mikveh and I'm sure they'd be just as great about l letting us visit the churches, but we should have arranged it in advance.

Picturesque Besalú works as a short visit, there is lots to see but it can be done pretty quickly. The medieval centre and bridge are a great explore but it's also set in great scenery and the views as far as the pyrenees add grandeur. There are routes to follow or just chill in one of the cafés dotted around the plazas.

Besalu is a beautiful small town that can be visited in one day. The old city has several interesting monuments and medieval architecture. It is a great place if you enjoy taking pictures. The best location to stay is the Hotel Els Jardins de la Martana which is located just in front of the old bridge which takes you into the old town. An interesting village not too far that is worth a visit is Santa Pau with a stop at Istany Banyoles (Lake) on the way back.
What we found very disappointing was the fact that on the two days of our stay all the restaurants (about 15 of them) were closed while the various websites still showed businesss as usual. For a town that wants to promote tourism it is shameful not tom have a single restaurant open for dinner.

Shops all closed when the tour busses left, but were open the next morning. Great little midievil town with great views. Not much choice of dinner venues until 8 pm (typical of Spain ), but we found a great pizza place earlier. Very walkable town, but a bit crowded when busses appear.

Besalu is a charming town to walk around.
Besalu is a charming town to walk around. Not big but enough to wander about comfortably. During the day there are lots of places to eat, nighttime the choice is limited ( we were there mid September).
The host Monica and her mother were so lovely. They helped me with many things, including marital and parental advice which was an added bonus. The apartment is spotless and twenty meters from the main square in Besalu. I stayed for six nights and was sad to leave. I definitely plan to stay her next time. Monica's english was excellent and she responded to all my Whaps app messages with advice on restaurants, breakfast and general life questions. Wifi was 100 MB and very fast.
Beautiful property and very welcoming and helpful staff. The apartment we stayed at was cozy and had gorgeous views. The beds and pillows were really comfortable, the shower had great water pressure and it was all clean and new! we had breakfast and dinner at the restaurant and really recommend it! everything was delicious! the area is so peaceful and calm and just a short car ride away from Besalú. We had a wonderful stay and will be back in the future!
In a medieval building right on one of the main squares, the apartment is modern and very stylish, definitely the best view in Besalu with a terace to enjoy. Everything is modern, high quality and very comfortable. Lift goes directly to the apartment.
Parking is outside the old city walls, only 3 min walk. we had a relaxing stay in the old village - which is a magical place, especially in the evenings, when the tour buses are gone. Highly recommended.
The breakfast was as good as any you’d expect in a fine hotel
The location right next to the medieval bridge was lovely
The best part is the staff. The very nice lady who checked me in also gave me a tour of the property which was above and beyond expectations. My room afforded a view of the bridge, which was a real plus. Eating breakfast on an outside terrace overlooking the town and it’s bridge was very special.
This was one of the most beautifully converted apartments we have ever stayed in. Stylish, beautifully and tastefully decorated and very comfortable. It is right in the centre of Besalu and is literally in the middle of all amenities and attractions. We loved the entrance hall (and the lift) and absolutely loved the balcony overlooking the square. A fabulous place to stay in Besalu.
The location is right at the famous bridge of Besalú. The interiors of the hotel rooms and common spaces are classic old world beautiful - high ceilings, beautiful wood furnishings and antiques. The hotel has only 11 rooms so it feels special to be there. The staff are very friendly. The breakfast was delicious and a good value.
Cannot say enough good things! Absolutely loved this hotel. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Location at the foot of the iconic bridge is unbeatable. Hotel retains the character and beauty of the original house while providing modern comforts like coffee and mini bar in the room. Free parking is the cherry on top!
A stunning property in the historic area of Besalú. The rooms were modern & spacious . Very comfortable bed & the en suite was very generously proportioned. The grounds & swimming pool are fabulous.
Our hostess Gemma was very friendly , welcoming & the breakfast was excellent. I
would hope to stay here again ❤️
Besalu is a beautiful medival village. Casa Marcial has a garden and pool with a gorgeous view. Step outside the front door and wander through the village and discover romantic Spain. The hotel has special touches that make it a place you will want to return to again and again.
The host Ellen-Marie was very friendly and helpful, we really thank her for all the support and kindness.
The location is very good, close to Besalù but in the quiet countryside.
Room was cozy and clean, breakfast was terrific and the facilities outside were also excellent.
Very nice apartment in the centre of the beautiful old town of Besalu, with car parking in an integral garage. Simply furnished but very comfortable with central heating for the chilly nights in February and a washing-machine. Super friendly very accommodating host.
Not sticking to Spain overcrowded coast will bring you to the little gem of Cataluña, namely Besalú.
With 3 Arcs one should not expect a grand Hotel, but it is a great choice and well kept.
Breakfast has to be ordered in advance and much probably is worth a try.
Loved the layout of the apt and the beautiful view of the old tree in the square.
Besalu is beautiful and the apt is too!
Also customer service was great - quick responses to any questions I had. Great since I'm not from the country to feel more secure.
We were in Room #1 with a fantastic balcony overlooking the bridge. Loved being just adjacent to the old town at the bridge. Easy parking. We didn't partake of breakfast, but went to a friendly little cafe a few steps from the hotel.
Quite the immediate spot to stay, situated at one end of a historical town. This town is kind of like the crown jewel of the area but what made it much better was the very sweet staff that worked at this hotel.
Great hotel conveniently located near the main attractions of the town. The rooms were large and comfortable. The breakfast was sufficient and the hotel had a great terrace to enjoy.
The location of the room was perfect. The room had a view of the bridge from one balcony and the main entrance of besalu from the other balcony, perfect 👍🏻
