Numéro d'inscription au Registre du Tourisme: HG001412

With over one hundred years of service, the Fonda Siqués is a point of reference in the world of innkeeping in La Garrotxa and in the region of Girona.The renovations carried out in 1995 consisted mainly of re-doing the second floor of the building and converting it into more spacious bedrooms, with bigger bathrooms, easier access and with the same services as on the first floor: TV. Telephone and Heating. There are rooms with two single beds and rooms with double beds.Most of the furniture dates back to the beginning of the XX century. The photo shows a matching headbed and night table that were rescued from the bonfires made by the troops of the "national" army when it occupied the Fonda Siqués in 1939.he 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. You can also get there along the path leading to Can Ring. This high spot was used to install Besalu's first drinking-water tanks. Once the new water tanks had been built opposite the swimming pool, a little further up the lane leading to Hospitalet, the holes left by the water tanks were conveniently used to install the prefabricated swimming pool. It was then closed off and a lawn put in and then the changing rooms, showers and machine house were added. There is a cold-drinks machine, parasols and sun loungers.Litter bins and ashtrays. 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. There are gardens surrounding the building with swings for the kids, a place to play and a dry river bed path that leads to the terrace with view on the swimming pool, which gives you a beautiful panoramic view over Besalú and its surroundings from a high vantage point.
