We found this place extremely charming, but you should know what to expect. Casa Cundaro is located literally in the center of the Old Town/Jewish Quarter of Girona, meaning that in order to get to it, you must trek through several old streets and up winding alleys. To that end, parking is more difficult and if you have many bags, this may be an issue. I would recommend trying to park at "Aparcamiento de la rotonda del Pont de Pedret" or, if possible, at "Carrer de la Muralla, 9 Parking", though you are more likely to have success with the former (the latter parking being associated with the university, so students and faculty park there and it seemed largely packed at all times). Both options are likely to take 10+ minutes of walking through winding streets. Perhaps park, check-in, find the room, then go get your bags once oriented. This is not a negative at all, this is simply to give context as to what to expect. As for the Casa Cundaro itself, it was very interesting. It is located mere steps from the impressive Cathedral of Girona, and only a very short walk from the old town shopping district. In 2 minutes you can be walking the walls, in 2 minutes touring the cathedral and in 5 minutes, you can go get something to eat and shop. There was a brief rain-shower that ended right before we went up to the walls, and it was magical to see the city from the walls. If you are familiar with the game Elden Ring, that is one of the closest analogues I have to describing the atmosphere of the walls (though no enemies attacking :) ) Casa Cundaro itself does not have reception, as it is a separate building from it's "parent" Hotel Historic right up the alleyways. Therefore, in order to check in, one must first visit Hotel Historic to retrieve the keys. When we visited, we were greeted in a very friendly manner, and then taken up the street to the Casa with a small tour and let into the Casa Cundaro building. During your stay, you will be issued some metal keys to unlock various gates, doors and such, and expected to lock/unlock things on your own during your stay (at the end of your stay, you can simply check out by dropping the keys into a metal box at the Casa without needing to go back to the Hotel Historic). It's a fascinating building. Being at least 3 stories, it appears to have been either one massive house, or possibly individual residences on each floor, which were then converted /split up into smaller apartments/rooms. It's very historic and has a lot of charm. Our particular apartment was on the first floor above the street, right on the corner wedge overlooking a junction, and consisted of a large bedroom and then a converted kitchen turned into a bathroom. In other words, our room was likely originally the living room/kitchen of a much larger residence, I assume. The original tiles and stonework was present, and the kitchen had a fireplace no longer in service (nor would it be useful). The kitchen was rather large, with

Teníamos la habitación 205, que está en la segunda planta. Señalar que NO HAY ASCENSOR Los escalones que van del primer al segundo piso son altísimos. Cuando subes con las maletas al llegar y cuando te vas, es una tortura. Nuestra habitación era muy pequeña, las puertas del armario no se podían abrir porque chocaban con los pies de la cama. Llamé a recepción para quejarme por el tema de las puertas y me contestaron que eso no era un hotel, era una casa de 200 años y era lo que había.

Casa Cundaro offre la possibilità di godere un suggestivo soggiorno nell'antico quartiere ebraico della città di Girona, una città che merita la sosta di almeno una notte ed una visita accurata alle sovrapposizioni di secoli di storia che ancora conservano il fascino di un antico splendore. La casa era una tipica casa ebraica con il cortile che riproduce la stella di David e numerosi richiami alla simbologia religiosa ebraica. Abbiamo alloggiato in una spaziosa stanza per 5 persone, anche se eravamo solo in 4. Tutto molto spartano ma pulito ed accogliente. Manca del tutto la possibilità di optare per una prima colazione, ma la persona che ci ha fatto il check in ha saputo consigliarci ottimi posti dove poter gustare piatti tipici catalani.

la casa è veramente bella e rispecchia le foto che sono su booking. l'appartamento è in un palazzo antico però è super funzionale con un bel angolo cottura due camere e un bel bagno. il check in deve essere fatto in un hotel vicino e la persona che ci ha accolti è stato molto gentile e si è offerto subito di prenotarci il taxi per la mattina successiva per andare in aeroporto unico neo molti scalini abbastanza ripidi ma non è così grave :). mi sarebbe piaciuto poter avere la colazione.
