The establishment is structured as a typical Catalan fonda (inn) at the end of the 19th Century devoted to changing the carthorses of the carriages.
With over one hundred years of service, the Fonda Siqués is a point of reference in the world of inn-keeping in La Garrotxa and in the region of Girona.
This privately owned hotel belongs to the Ventura Teixidor family, who have been hoteliers for 6 generations. The first records of the hotel date from 1858, and in 2008 the hotel celebrated 150 years of operation.
At first, coachmen slept in the barn on a straw bed. Afterwards, bedrooms where the servants slept were refurbished for the guests. The first guests were schoolteachers who needed some place to sleep and eat. Other guests were also musicians who came for the festivals - Sant Vicenç, a small festival, or Sant Prim i Felicià, the main festival.
Most of the bedrooms have been refurbished over the last years and include bathrooms and heating. The last refurbishment was in July 1995 and currently the hotel offers 5 single rooms and 22 double rooms, all of them equipped with bathroom, heating, telephone and TV, some with air-conditioning.
The Fonda Siqués has an open-air car park for customers of the hotel and restaurant, very near to the historic town centre and the Roman bridge at the foot of the road, up to twenty vehicles. On special occasions, this car park can also be used for weddings, baptisms, communions and other events which may be suggested
