Book a stay in one of the best homes in [destination]

You’ll struggle to find an apartment more central than this, sitting just off the Plaça Catalunya and a three-minute mosey to the leafy Las Ramblas. Its homespun living area and inviting bedrooms make for relaxing spaces away from the hubbub. Open up the French doors to be enveloped by a warm Spanish breeze as you tuck into a tasty breakfast. Throw something together in the kitchen or pick up a bite to eat from the café around the corner. Put on your sandals, slap on your sun cream and take to Barcelona’s historic streets. You’re minutes from the modernist sights of Eixample and just under twenty from the Picasso Museum. When it’s gloriously sunny out – which is practically all year round – Barceloneta Beach is a ten-minute cab ride away.

A ten-minute stroll from Gaudi’s masterpiece – the Sagrada Familia – it doesn’t get more central than this stylish apartment in Barcelona. The streets surrounding this place are packed with late-night tapas bars, spots to sample the local wine and restaurants galore. Sightseeing across the city is a piece of cake too, with the nearest metro station a three-minute walk away.

After a busy day in the bustling city, head back to your haven of calm. It may be central, but the street is a little off the beaten track. Exposed brickwork inside gives that cool New York loft feel throughout, and the living room is filled with light from floor-to-ceiling windows. Modern artworks add a splash of vibrance to an otherwise neutral colour scheme and the raw wood table is big enough for the whole group to dine. The chef of the group will certainly appreciate the large kitchen if they’re not too busy nosy through the local eateries. 

Lofty Influence

This home is perfect for couples who crave a slice of the city's action. Situated on historic Ronda Universitat, it has excellent views of the street which you can enjoy from the sunny alcove over a morning coffee or evening drink. The home still manages to feel relaxing though, with stand out features like the beautiful white stone kitchen countertop, the pristine wooden flooring and traditional shutters. You'll find all the basics needed for cooking are already here, and there is a juicer and Nespresso machine to make mornings a delight. Downstairs, the surrounding Eixample neighbourhood is famous for its geometrical layout and is brimming with great restaurants, bars, and independent boutiques. It's just a four-minute walk to the Plaça de Catalunya, and the Gothic Quarter is less than fifteen minutes away, where you'll find charming winding streets and plenty of history. 

Sol Urbà

You’ll find this attractive penthouse apartment in the heart of Barcelona. It’s a short walk from Cala Mila and there’s no shortage of bars and restaurants nearby. Fontana metro station is close too, so you can easily get around the city. The apartment itself is modern and sleek, a stylish base for four. Best of all, it has a beautiful terrace equipped with sun loungers and a dining table. Admire Tibidabo Mountain views while sipping sunset cocktails – what more could you ask for? 

Dream of Sunshine

A sun terrace with sea views is the kind of detail that can make or break a Barcelona apartment, and this one in El Poblenou delivers on both. Inside, a hammock to swing in gives the living space a relaxed feel, while a record player adds a touch of analogue cool. When you're ready to explore, the L4 metro line connects you to central Barcelona with ease. You're also a short walk from the city's sandy coastline – ideal if beach days are on your itinerary.

Poblenou Hours

Set in the middle of Eixample, this home is surrounded by the famous Catalan Modernist buildings and luxury boutiques. As far as location goes, this is as close as you can get to the authentic life of the city's urban elite. The apartment itself is also full of unique character and boasts high ceilings, sleek wooden flooring an eclectic array of artwork. Homely finishing touches invite guests to experience a comfortable stay, while the balcony reminds you that you're in the centre of Barcelona with city views over the rooftops. With its duplex layout, you'll benefit from having plenty of space and moments of privacy even when staying here in a big group. Head out to discover the local area, with copious shops, restaurants, museums and architecture to absorb. The beach is also only a twenty-minute metro ride away or a longer thirty-minute stroll on foot. 

Safari House

In the elegant Vila de Gràcia barrio, you’re in for a treat if you’re looking for a more realistic experience of Barcelona living. Just over 3 km away from the bustling tourists in the Gothic Quarter, this region is full of restaurants, theatres, cinemas, independent boutiques, and of course some Gaudí charm. This apartment is just a four-minute walk from Casa Vicens, a striking example of one of the architect’s earlier works. But unlike this building and its surroundings, this home feels more like a Japanese mountain retreat. Step inside to wood-panelled walls and fabrics, woven feature pieces, and a mural of swallows and bamboo bringing a zen-like state to the apartment. While there’s still a taste of traditional Catalan elements, such as patterned tiles on the floor, and a classic wrought-iron balconette, the decor simply oozes Japan. In the serene bedroom, keep your head down at the workspace, then step into the lounge when the clock hits 5 pm to turn up the record player and sip chilled cava. For a weekend escape from this peaceful palace, it’s just an eighteen-minute walk to the colourful, awe-inspiring mosaics of Park Güell – quite the contrast.

Norimaki

Since Barcelona doesn't have a lot of beachside apartments, there's a zone right across the road from it, where modern high rises offer a brilliant view of the sea and the developing Poblenou. Maresme is only a few minutes away from the beach, but you'll need to take the nearby metro to get to Eixample. In the summer, this home really comes alive with a whole extra lounge and dining area on the balcony that overlooks Nova Mar Bella beach. But even in the winter, the elegant design creates a pleasant atmosphere. 

Maresme

Tucked away from the city's noise, this extensive family villa mixes luxurious neoclassical style with countless modern amenities. Marvel at opulent antiques, laze by the private pool or roll with the good times in the open-plan games room featuring table football, ping pong, a billiards table and a home theatre. And if that wasn't enough, the living room will keep the kids entertained with satellite channels, a Playstation 3 games console and video games. So have a go at rustling up a paella or your favourite local cuisine and serve it up outside at the alfresco dining area. When you can tear yourselves away from this blissful haven, you'll be pleased to know the villa is conveniently located just a ten-minute walk away from the iconic Park Guell monument with breathtaking views over the city. Not to mention the Sagrada Familia is also just a ten-minute drive or a twenty-minute traffic-free metro ride away from the property. With shops, supermarkets, restaurants and bakeries – all just steps away from your front door, enjoy the ease of having everything at your fingertips here without needing to be in the thick of the hustle and bustle of the city's central districts. 

Opulent Ruby

Sitting in the heart of Eixample, this apartment pairs vaulted ceilings and tall windows with a balcony above one of Barcelona's great tree-lined boulevards – the kind of spot where a morning coffee easily becomes an hour. Each bedroom has its own en-suite, so there's real privacy when you need it. The city's highlights are all within reach on foot – Gaudí's Sagrada Família is a sixteen-minute walk, and the Gothic Quarter's medieval lanes are twenty-seven minutes away.

Espresso on Diagonal

An Eixample apartment with tall windows that pull in the Barcelona light, this is a comfortable base for the city. Front and back balconies mean there's always a spot to catch the morning air or wind down in the evening. The kitchen is relaxed enough to cook in, social enough to gather around. Best of all, the Sagrada Família is a five-minute walk away – and with the metro just two blocks from the door, the Gothic Quarter, Las Ramblas, and Barceloneta Beach are all well within reach.
