Houses for sale in Girona

Girona is a city much appreciated for its quality of life. Its Barri Vell, with the cathedral, the city walls and the old Jewish quarter, the colourful houses overlooking the river Onyar and the large Devesa park form an urban ensemble of great beauty. Around it, quiet residential neighbourhoods and a setting of hills and woods let you live in a house with a garden a few minutes from the centre.

The city has a high-speed rail station, an international airport and a university, and is a short distance from the Costa Brava and the villages of the Empordà.

Life in Girona

Girona offers a full city life on a very comfortable scale: schools, a university, hospitals, shops, markets and an outstanding cultural calendar. Its gastronomy is internationally renowned, and the rivers, the Devesa and the paths of Les Gavarres let you enjoy nature without leaving the municipality. The Costa Brava and the Pyrenees are a short distance away.

A well-connected city

The high-speed rail station connects Girona with Barcelona and France, and Girona–Costa Brava airport offers flights to various European cities. This makes it a common choice for those who work between several cities or receive frequent visitors from abroad.

A house in the city or a masia nearby

What a house in Girona is like

Houses in Girona’s residential neighbourhoods are usually detached homes on two or three floors, with garden, pool and often views over the city or the mountains. Plots in the higher areas offer privacy and generous outdoor space a few minutes from the historic centre. Houses a few decades old can be renovated to improve light, energy efficiency and the connection with the garden.

Main residence or second home

Girona is chosen mainly as a main residence by families who value the city’s quality of life, schools and connections. As a second home, its appeal lies in the combination of urban life, gastronomy and proximity to the coast and the mountains.
