12-bedroom apartment in Girona

When purchasing in Spain, expect total costs of approximately 10–12% above the purchase price, covering transfer tax (4–11% depending on regional rates), notary fees, land registry, and legal fees. H&H provides a transparent cost breakdown at the outset. We recommend setting aside additional funds for any renovations, furnishings, or professional valuations relevant to a property of this scale.

Girona offers a balanced lifestyle: medieval streets, galleries, and restaurants sit alongside modern schools and healthcare. It's quieter than Barcelona yet well-connected by road and rail. Scandinavian residents appreciate the safety, order, and community spirit. The surrounding countryside provides hiking, local wine, and farming culture. Many international families choose Girona for its authenticity and proximity to both urban culture and natural spaces.

Absolutely. Families and multi-generational groups value space for guest quarters, home offices, and privacy. A property of this size suits those entertaining frequently or hosting family visits from Scandinavia. Some owners use portions for holiday lets or boutique accommodation. Your specific use—personal, business, or mixed—should guide your decision; our advisors can discuss viable scenarios and tax implications.

The process is straightforward for EU and non-EU buyers. You'll need a Spanish tax number (NIE), a local bank account, and a notary to formalise the deed. H&H guides you through every step, liaising with legal teams and handling documentation. Most Scandinavian clients complete purchases within 6–8 weeks. We also advise on residency options and financial structuring relevant to your home country.

Demand for large, upscale rural properties in Girona is growing—corporate retreats, family celebrations, and wellness tourism drive interest. A country house of this calibre attracts quality bookings, particularly in spring and autumn. Income potential depends on your positioning (holiday let, event venue, private rental), local regulations, and management approach. We can introduce you to experienced property managers and discuss realistic scenarios based on comparable properties.
