The House
Can Cocollona is an independent house located in the Sant Narcís neighborhood of Girona, patron saint of the city. Can Cocollona is painted white and built traditionally under the concept of a garden city. Outside, there is a patio ideal for relaxing, reading, enjoying the company of other travelers, or simply lying in a hammock.
It is located in the center of Girona, a ten-minute walk from the Barri Vell (historic center) and a four-minute walk from the train, AVE, and bus station. It can be reached from the station with a pleasant and quick walk through Central Park. From here, the traditional houses of Sant Narcís begin; at the end of this walk, crossing to the other side of the street, you will find Can Cocollona. The House consists of 160 m2 distributed over two floors; on the first floor are the common areas: the dining room – living room, the kitchen, a bathroom, and the patio with a garage and small bicycle workshop.
Additionally, at the House, we have a hairdryer, washing machine, Wi-Fi internet access, and a computer in case you need to look something up and/or work.
The Patio
The Can Cocollona patio is the most emblematic meeting point of the house. This is where we gather and share how our day went, what plans we have, exchange experiences with other travelers, and organize activities together: meals, barbecues, board games… One can also relax peacefully, read, or listen to music while swinging in the hammock or sitting on one of the recycled furniture pieces, some made from old wardrobe doors from the house itself or tire wheels that are now poufs.
The Dining Room – Living Room
The dining room and living room is the heart of Can Cocollona, where we welcome our guests for the first time and serve breakfast every morning with great care. It is also a workspace and source of inspiration for digital nomads who need to work during their stay at Can Cocollona. In this dining room, you will find recycled furniture, such as the central buffet, where we serve breakfast, which was once a door from an old wardrobe in the house. Both the wardrobe, the central table, and the old classic-style chairs were painted white, giving them a distressed effect. We also upholstered the chairs ourselves, a clear example of DIY (do it yourself).
Accommodation for Cyclists
Girona is ideal for cycling enthusiasts. It’s no longer news that this sport is popular. Girona is the ideal place for cycle tourists due to its impressive territory and wide variety of routes.
There’s something for all tastes, goals, and levels: for professionals, for amateurs who take it very seriously, for those who simply want to enjoy cycling through wonderful landscapes, for families who want to share sport and nature…
MTB Routes in Girona
Girona has a pleasant climate, a very varied landscape, sea and mountains… Additionally, there are ascents and descents of different difficulty levels that motivate MTB riders. These are off-road routes that can be enjoyed all year round. The routes are signposted and classified according to their difficulty level.
Can Cocollona is the ideal accommodation for cyclists, as we have a locked space for bicycles with direct street access to offer maximum convenience. We also have a workshop for any unforeseen events that may arise, route advice, and recommendations for specialized cycling shops. At breakfast, there’s always a high content of protein, muesli, and energetic fruit to prepare for a great day with many kilometers of cycling; we can adapt breakfast according to each guest’s needs.
Girona is home to over 80 professional cyclists and is the perfect holiday destination, not only for bicycle lovers, but also for those who enjoy motorcycle routes.
