Estada Històrica: Your Home in the Heart of Banyoles


In the vibrant heart of Banyoles, just steps from the historic Plaça Major, lies Estada Històrica, a stunning property that seamlessly combines timeless charm with modern convenience. This tastefully renovated home, the work of skilled interior architects, retains its historical character while offering all the comforts of contemporary living. Perfect for long-term stays, Estada Històrica accommodates up to four people comfortably, with an additional room available for visitors, making it ideal for families, athletes, or professionals seeking temporary housing in the Province of Girona.


A Warm Welcome to Estada Històrica


The entrance to Estada Històrica is both grand and inviting. You step through large, rustic wooden shutters that can remain open during your stay, welcoming natural light and fresh air into the property. These shutters lead to elegant glass doors, which open into a warm and welcoming foyer. Here, a cozy sitting area awaits, complete with a sofa, a television, and thoughtfully designed small furnishings for practical use. Wall-mounted bike hangers provide a convenient storage solution for cycling enthusiasts, blending functionality with the home’s aesthetic.


From the foyer, a set of stairs descends into the property’s historical stone wine cellar. This atmospheric space, currently empty, is a unique feature that nods to the house’s rich past. Meanwhile, a short flight of stairs ascends to the elevated kitchen area, a centerpiece of the home.


Living Spaces Designed for Comfort and Charm


The kitchen combines rustic charm with modern functionality, featuring an open fireplace, a large dining table, and state-of-the-art appliances, including an induction hob, oven, microwave, and essential cooking tools. Whether you’re preparing a hearty meal after a day exploring the region or enjoying a quiet morning coffee, this space is designed for comfort and conviviality.


The Sleeping Quarters


The first floor houses the sleeping quarters, exuding warmth and tranquility. A central hallway provides access to two bright and spacious bedrooms. The master bedroom features a queen-size bed, while the second bedroom offers two single beds, which can be arranged separately or together. Both rooms include open wardrobes and are adorned with original flooring—some with traditional Catalan baldosas hidráulicas, others with terracotta tiles—that speak to the home’s heritage. Soft white tones, natural wood, and carefully curated décor create a calming atmosphere, making these rooms a serene retreat after a busy day.


The first floor also features a large bathroom, designed for both style and practicality. This luxurious space includes a walk-in shower, double sinks, and ample storage for toiletries. A small utility room with a washing machine and cleaning supplies is conveniently located next to the bathroom, ensuring you have everything you need for a comfortable long-term stay.


The Top Floor: A Multifunctional Space

From the first-floor hallway, an original Banyoles-stone staircase leads to the top floor—a luminous, multifunctional living space. This floor features a second fully equipped kitchen, a spacious dining table for six, and a comfortable lounge area with a sofa, a large smart TV, and air conditioning. The space is perfect for entertaining or relaxing. At the back of this floor, you’ll find a charming covered terrace, complete with seating for enjoying the outdoors and a designated area for drying laundry.

Accessibility and Parking


While the home’s charm lies in its multi-level design and historical features, the stairs and steps make it unsuitable for those with limited mobility. Parking options include free spaces at Can Castanyer, a five-minute walk away, and paid parking at Correos, just two minutes from the property.

The area is under camera surveillance, ensuring security and peace of mind.

Banyoles is renowned for its stunning natural landscapes, including the famous Lake of Banyoles (Estany de Banyoles), the largest natural lake in Catalonia. You can also immerse yourself in the town’s rich cultural heritage, wandering through medieval streets and enjoying the vibrant atmosphere of Plaça Major.


The wider region of Pla de l’Estany offers endless opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking and cycling, while the proximity to Girona and the Costa Brava ensures a diverse range of experiences, from exploring historical sites to relaxing on Mediterranean beaches. The home is conveniently located near Girona-Costa Brava Airport and regional train stations, providing excellent connectivity for both local and international travel.
