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. By 2023, the addition of La Noucentista and the launch of the Vivaldi in 2025, cemented Bon Dia Residences as a leader in providing authentic, thoughtfully designed stays in Girona.
Mission
To create unparalleled living experiences for active, culturally curious travelers in Girona. At Bon Dia Residences, we blend historic charm with modern comforts, fueled by our founders’ shared passions for cycling, real estate, and authentic local connections.
Vision
To set the benchmark for immersive travel in Girona, redefining affordable luxury with personalised stays rooted in history, culture, and community.
Accommodation With Purpose
We identified a gap between traditional vacation 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 honor 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. By combining authentic local immersion with seamless service, we empower our guests to explore Girona's hidden gems while enjoying a home away from home.

Bon Dia Residences now includes two historic properties, each offering a unique take on modern hospitality:
-
La Comuna: A vibrant hub for short-term stays, cyclists, and active travelers.
-
Vivaldi: Blending modern comfort with historic elegance, these apartments will be available from January 2025.
We continue to grow, with another new property in development in Girona.
