The Full Story

ABOUT BON DIA RESIDENCES

In 2017, a chance meeting at a Girona cycling training camp brought co-founders Ron Baron and Lior Marcovici together. Inspired by the city’s unique blend of history and cycling culture, the pair envisioned a new kind of hospitality. That same year, they acquired their first property on Carrer de la Barca, transforming it into a haven for active travelers.

​

Their vision became reality in 2019 with the opening of La Comuna, a flagship property that quickly became a cornerstone of Girona’s cycling community. The launch of La Comuna Café in 2021 deepened our commitment to creating spaces where travelers and locals could connect over great food and shared experiences.

Mission

To create places worth staying in for active, curious travellers in Girona. At Bon Dia Residences, we blend historic charm with modern comforts, shaped by our founders’ shared interests in cycling, real estate, and authentic local connections.

Vision

To give visitors a way to stay in Girona that feels like living here, in restored buildings rooted in the city’s history and community.

Accommodation With Purpose

We identified a gap between traditional holiday rentals and hotels: one missed the essence of local culture, while the other lacked a personal touch. Bon Dia Residences bridges this divide, offering thoughtfully designed spaces that respect Girona’s rich history while providing the comforts of modern living.

From the beginning, our goal has been clear: to create a home base where adventurers, culture-seekers, and cycling enthusiasts alike can live like a local. Our guests get a base in the Old Town, a team who live here, and time to find the city at their own pace.
