Gilda

2-bedroom apartment close to the Guggenheim museum

Stay in Basque Country

The Gilda apartment offers a nice and thoughtfully designed retreat in a quiet corner of Bilbao, just a short walk from many of the city’s most iconic sights. Tastefully decorated and full of warmth, it strikes a lovely balance between comfort and style, making it easy to settle in and feel at home. Its location allows you to explore the city at your own pace β€” from the Guggenheim Museum to the Casco Viejo β€” while enjoying a more relaxed neighborhood atmosphere away from the busiest streets.

Ideal for families or small groups, the apartment comfortably accommodates up to four guests with a double bedroom and a second room with twin beds. The fully equipped kitchen provides everything needed for easy meals at home, while the inviting living spaces offer a cozy place to unwind after a day out. With shops, public transport, and local markets all within easy reach, the Gilda apartment is a welcoming and practical base for discovering Bilbao in a more personal and unhurried way.

Bilbao - Home of Gilda

Bilbao, founded in the year 1300 is a city where one can find history in every corner and that has had an incredible evolution throughout the years. In it early beginnings it was just formed by just seven streets, which are still part of the old quarter. By the eighteen century the city changed its farming fields for the industry andΒ  over a century it was considered an industrial city. However by the last part of the twentieth century, with the collapse of the industry the city decided to change their direction towards services and new architecture with the idea to become an attractive destination. The Guggenheim museum was the first big stone of a this evolution and was the turning point that located Bilbao in the map and as a result, Bilbao nowadays has been transformed into a city that has become an example of the new architecture and has won international awards like the LEE KUAN YEW World City Prize, considered as the Noble Prize for cities in 2010 or the Best European City in 2018 by the Academy of Urbanism.

Get ready to explore this medium sized city and everything it has to offer. From the beautiful mountains that surround the city to its walkways towards the estuary that crosses the city and stroll through the historical streets while you get a taste of its wonderful local cuisine.
