Hotel Fonda Siqués

With over one hundred years of service, the Fonda Siqués is a point of reference in the world of inn-keeping in La Garrotxa and in the region of Girona.

The building is that of a typical end-of-the-19th century Catalan Inn, devoted to changing the carthorses of the carriages.

This privately owned hotel belongs to the Ventura Teixidor family, who have been hoteliers for 6 generations. The first records of the hotel date from 1858, and in 2008 the hotel will celebrate 150 years of opening.

Hotel informationTop
The swimming pool is located in the upper part of the Inn's grounds, in the part called the Turell. You get there via the gardens along a dry river bed going uphill and ending up at some steps. There is a cold-drinks machine, parasols and sun loungers. Due to its high-up position you can get a bird's eye view of Besalú, la Mare de Déu del Mont and the Sagrat Cor.

The Fonda Siquès has an unattended open-air car park for its hotel and restaurant customers right next to the road; with a capacity for about twenty cars and very near the historic centre and Roman bridge.

Room informationTop
The hotel has 26 rooms. Each room is uniquely decorated and has its own individual character and great views over the mountains.

The rooms on the first floor already existed when the hotel opened as an Inn. Although smaller than those on the second floor, they still preserve the characteristic look of the beginning of the 20th century, but with the comforts a 21st century-customer needs.

All rooms are en suite and are equipped with heating, telephone, and TV.

Some of the rooms have air conditioning.

Food & beverageTop
Compulsory stop for those travellers who want to sample traditional dinning. The current dining room used to be the stables, and still preserves the original drinking trough and manger, and next to it were the hauliers' dining room, the village café and the gentlemen's dining room, which was right next to the kitchen to provide suitable service.

Much of the menu is based on 'volcanic gastronomy' using locally grown products nourished by volcanic soil. Open the all year and from:

Area informationTop
Located in one of Europe's most important volcanic areas are the towns Besalú, Santa Pau and Olot.

Besalú is one of Catalonia's prettiest and most visited inland towns. Bisuldunum is a fortress between two rivers: the Fluvià and the Capellades.
In 1966 it was declared a "National Hitorical and Artistic Monument" due to its great architectural value. The whole town is an example of Romanesque art and well worth a visit.

The Girona province offers much to see and do from interesting cities and towns of historical interest, to a day out on one of the Costa Brava's picturesque beaches.

For nature lovers the whole region boasts stunning scenery and lovely footpaths ideal for long enjoyable walks.
