Staying at Diagonal Mar is a bit different from the typical Barcelona experience of Gaudí buildings and getting lost in the cobbled passages of the Gothic Quarter. While famed architectural marvels like the Sagrada Família are a twenty-minute drive away, this apartment is a dream for lovers of golden shores and turquoise waters – the beachfront is right opposite. You can walk to Platja de la Nova Mar Bella in just eight minutes, and admire views of its glistening waters from this glass-clad abode. With palm trees lining the road as you arrive at this modern building, there’s a beach-resort vibe that feels a world away from the hectic city centre. Inside, you’ll be wowed by the fresh, clean, and sleek interiors of the enormous open-plan living space. White is the dominant colour, illuminated further by floor-to-ceiling glass windows and sliding doors to private terraces and balconies. It’s a home that makes you feel like a VIP, especially with the services your host offers. Enjoy airport pickup, followed by a welcome hamper, attraction tickets, restaurant reservations, and of course a private chef for when you’d rather sip chilled wine than make your own tapas.

Playa Sul

With marble floors, ample space to play around with, and panoramic windows with some of the best views Barcelona has to offer, The Beach Lookout is perfect for those who will appreciate its majestic nature. The central sights won't be accessible on foot, but travellers who love a bit of sea breeze (which, you'll be pleased to know, does reach the terrace) will quickly fall head over heels for the nearby Platja Llevant.

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.

Staying in Mar Diagonal is not the obvious choice for everyone, but if you want a more relaxed, beachy atmosphere, it’s hard to beat this apartment. The building is impressive enough in itself, and the fact that every room has a sea view is not to be sniffed at. While the design of the place is simple, even bordering on sparse, the way that the windows frame that view mitigates what could otherwise be seen as a slight lack of inspiration. Getting into the city is easy enough on the metro, but it’s about an hour on foot to Plaça de Catalunya.

Garden

With direct sea views, garden, pool and kids' play area/pool, as well as easy access to transportation to the rest of this beautiful city, this home really has everything to offer for a relaxed and fun-filled city break. All guests need to do is kick off their shoes and listen to the gentle and melodic crash of waves in the background as they enjoy their morning coffee out on the balcony, watching as seagulls fly overhead. Children will have the time of their lives playing in the pool and play area, and when it's time to head on out to explore, guests will be spoilt for choice as the nearby Metro station connects the area to the rest of the city, making sightseeing easier than ever. 

Spend your days relaxing and soaking up those delicious Spanish rays at the neighbouring beach, which can be reached in as little as a ten-minute stroll, while the stunningly unique architecture that Barcelona is so famous for can be seen in the same amount of time. For those looking to spend the day shopping, dining and wine tasting, your neighbourhood of Diagonal Mar, as well as the cultural melting pot of La Rambla are the perfect spots, and if you're looking to venture out further afield for something truly spectacular, we highly recommend The Temple Expiatori del Sagrat Cor, which can be reached in a thirty-minute drive, or forty minutes by public transport.

Once an industrial area, Poblenou has gone (and continues to go) through a transformation, bringing art and leisure into the neighbourhood. If you're here for the beach, then this home is close to perfect – Playa Bogatell is a ten-minute walk away. There are stairs in this home and no ramp, so it's not the best option for those with limited mobility or heavy luggage, but the layout of the home itself is handled extremely well. The upstairs even has a balcony overlooking the living room, which is one of the many cosy spots to enjoy a coffee and conversation.

Tucked away in the charming streets of Poblenou, this apartment makes a great base for an inspiring city stay. Designed with relaxation in mind, you’ll find calm tones, stylish rooms and a private terrace – perfect for sunset drinks. There is also a home office for remote workers and the Bluetooth speakers mean you can switch off while listening to the sound of your favourite playlist. It’s worth noting there is no private parking here, but there are great public transport links and you’ll find it’s just a short walk to the beach. 


The Beauty Within

Library of Books

This is a home for beach lovers. Located in the rapidly developing Diagonal Mar, Cream Vista is all about sleek lines and minimalist furniture. As there are transparent surfaces in the communal area of this home, some might feel a bit exposed in the absence of curtains. But the big windows do have their perks, as you'll realise as soon as you wake up the sunrise. You'll need to take a train to get to Eixample, but we suppose when the beach is this close, the sightseeing can wait a little bit. 

Cream Vista

Ideally situated a short walk from Nova Mar Bella Beach, this apartment is a comfortable base to return to after exploring Barcelona’s coastline. If you need to head into the city proper, Selva de Mar metro station is only five minutes away. When the sofa bed is in use, there’s limited social space in the living area. Fortunately, guests staying here have access to a furnished, communal roof terrace – perfect for relaxing with a tipple in the sunshine. 

Marítimo

Shared Pool

Desk

Offering views of both the Mediterranean and Barcelona, it's not an exaggeration to say we were big fans of this sleek apartment's terrace – ideal for an evening glass of sangria. Only a short stroll from Llevant Beach and with a shared pool, it's easy to cool off in the sun here, while the tennis court and gym are there if you want to work up an appetite. Back at home, the floor-to-ceiling windows ensure the main living area has plenty of daylight – ideal if you plan on enjoying breakfast at home courtesy of the well-equipped kitchen. 

The Mariner's Hideaway

Staying in this part of town has the obvious advantage of being close to the beach – in the absence of beachside hotels in Barcelona, homes like Indigo Star are the closest you get to waking up and stepping right into the sand. Sightseeing in Eixample will take a longer commute, but if you're in town to relax in a simple (and yet perfectly cosy) home, then this is a good way to go. Indigo star has a certain homey quality that makes for a comfortable stay.

Indigo Star

Rooftop Terrace

Escape the hustle and bustle of the city in this compact but well-equipped apartment, just a five-minute walk from the beach. While it’s not the biggest and it lacks privacy due to its proximity to neighbouring buildings, this is an ideal spot for a couple seeking a coastal stay. An added bonus is the large rooftop terrace, shared with the building’s other residents, just perfect for alfresco dining or a spot of sunbathing. For days in the city, the nearest metro is just six minutes away. 

Marítim

Looking to the African desert for design inspiration, this Eixample apartment is dominated by earthy tones, natural materials and a few houseplants to add a burst of bright colour. Other aspects are a little more contemporary – you only have to look at the minimalist white kitchen to see what we mean.

Even though it sits among one of Barcelona's most bustling districts, there's something innately relaxing about the space, whether you're listening to a vinyl record with a breeze blowing in over the Juliet balcony or enjoying a meal cooked with locally bought ingredients on the round dining table.

And when it comes to sightseeing, you don't have far to venture from your front door. The mighty Sagrada Familia is less than a quarter of an hour's walk, as is Parc de la Ciutadella in the opposite direction. You're especially well served by cafes and restaurants in the surrounding streets, too.

Self Check-in / Check-out

It's clear that Gingerbread Cinder was designed by a professional – original vaulted ceilings and exposed brick walls are a challenge to pull off, but these guys succeeded using minimal, high-quality furniture. This is an immaculate home with lots of natural light and several external balconies, perfect for people-watching. Located in Barcelona's 'it' neighbourhood El Born, you'll be within walking distance to the most famous sights, as well as local hidden gems.

With a balcony opening directly onto the masterful façade of Sagrada Familia, this home boasts possibly one of the most unique vistas in Barcelona. But there’s more to staying at this apartment than just its jaw-dropping views. Your host also offers free tickets for Barcelona's matches at Camp Nou during your stay – a must-see while you're in town.  Back home, the vast living space is made for socialising – best enjoyed with the balcony doors wide open to take in Gaudi’s masterpiece. It's bright, roomy, and filled with pops of colour, from ruby red sofas to bold artwork. When it’s time to explore, hop on the nearby metro and you’ll be at the sights of central Barcelona in less than ten minutes. Or stay local to Sagrada Familia, where you’ll be surprised by just how much green space surrounds the area, perfect for a coffee and amble about. When tummies start to rumble, walk a few blocks along to the Eixample district and join the locals for authentic tapas and local wine. Or call upon your host, who’ll happily help with reserving a table at one of the city’s hottest restaurants. It’s all part of the service at this truly unique apartment.

Housed in a 19th century listed building, raised above the quiet pedestrian streets of the central El Born district, you’ll find this authentic Catalan apartment. We love the curated mix of antique pieces and minimalist furniture. The vaulted ceilings and original Juliet balconies create a lofty, airy feel to this space. Take the flight of stairs up to the top of this handsome building and you’ll find a hidden secret – an impressive shared sun terrace, the perfect spot for sundowners before heading out for authentic tapas. And you’re in the right neighbourhood to do so. The surrounding streets are archetypical of El Born - Barcelona’s ‘It’ neighbourhood, don’t you know. You’re only two minutes from heaps of trendy bars, coffee shops, and independent boutiques, as well as the imposing Basilica of Santa Maria Del Mar. Start your day with a spot of people watching at an outdoor café before heading on to one of the many sights located nearby.  The lively streets of Plaça Catalunya, Les Rambles, and the Gothic Quarter are all just a fifteen-minute walk away – as is the city’s sandy beach. Your only conundrum will be deciding where to head first.

Cinder Rustico

Desk / Workplace

Housed in a historic building dating back to 1921, this beautifully curated apartment next to Passeig de Sant Joan offers a scenic, comfortable base from which to explore Barcelona’s most famous sights. 

Decked out in beautiful vintage pieces the host has collected on her world travels and throughout Barcelona, this bright apartment blends Old-World charm with striking modern features to create an instantly stylish impression. We love the living area’s tiled floors and the French doors here that lead out onto a petite balcony – the ideal spot to enjoy a glass of Spanish wine at sunset. Alternatively, make your way out onto the inner courtyard patio where a plethora of plants creates the perfect canvas for morning coffees ahead of a day of sightseeing. 

The kitchen, meanwhile, beckons intimate homemade tapas dinners when you’re not out sampling the local restaurants, and the main bedroom – a vision of relaxation with its clawfoot tub – is where you’ll relish retreating at the end of the night with the promise of sweet dreams. 

Wanting to ensure you have the best time in the city possible, your host offers a whole list of recommendations on places to visit, including her favourite restaurants and bars. You’re also a five-minute walk from the iconic Sagrada Família, a ten-minute stroll to Passeo de Gràcia, while Hospital de Sant Pau – now a museum – is fifteen minutes away on foot. 


Vintage Light

Board Games

In a traditional building, recently modernised with eco-conscious touches, this character apartment is set between the El Born and Eixample neighbourhoods. With sustainability in mind, the hosts have hand-picked recycled wood for the quirky kitchen cabinets, along with things like vintage glasses and upcycled armchairs. The mini-bar with local eco soaps, toothbrushes, beers, wine and juices is a nice touch and there's nothing like stepping out onto your little balcony, glass in hand, and taking in the sights and sounds of this vibrant area. Bedrooms are calm and quiet, and all the more beautiful thanks to their Catalan tiled floors, high ceilings and tall windows. But our favourite thing about this charming place is the hosts, who live in an apartment on the top floor and are welcoming and knowledgeable. They'll look after your bags before or after checkout, welcome you with a local breakfast and even allow you to use their beautiful roof terrace from time to time – where you can see across the city to the sea.

Reclaimed Dream

Fabulously located in the heart of Eixample, within easy walking distance of many of Barcelona's key sights, with a beautiful living space full of lovely period details and a spacious master-bedroom with its own private terrace, this home is a delight. Bedrooms two and three are both extremely small, but we won't hold this against an otherwise fab home. The living space might just be home to the most beautiful flooring in the Plum Collection – we are obsessed! 

Geometry Rules

Just eight minutes from the Plaça de Catalunya on foot, this renovated home boasts a central location in the heart of Barcelona. You'll find it in the Eixample, tucked away in an elegant alleyway and offering a quiet refuge from the tourist hustle and bustle. Here, you're surrounded by a delightful array of boutiques and eateries and within walking distance of the main sights. Go shopping on Passeig de Gràcia, picnic in Ciutadella Park or marvel at the Sagrada Familia – all less than a twenty-minute stroll from your doorstep. 

Inside, spacious rooms flaunt high ceilings, large windows and stylish decor, while contemporary amenities promise a want-for-nothing stay. We especially love the balcony. Offering leafy views, this is the perfect place to sunbathe. Home chefs will appreciate the fully-equipped kitchen, where a breakfast bar beckons for mornings roosted here, sipping quick coffees before slipping out for breakfast – we recommend the croissants from the little cafe downstairs.

Skyline To

As far as homes in La Dreta de l'Eixample go, Caletre is a solid representation of the neighbourhood's architecture. Adorned with Modernist masterpieces, this part of Barcelona boasts great architecture on every corner and even the insides of an unassuming building like this one show some masterful craft. True, the street you'll be staying on is a little bit noisy, but we think that easy access to the cultural heart of town more than makes up for it. 

Caletre

Built with respect for the environment, this bright home is an ideal base for eco-conscious guests looking for a comfortable, central stay in the city. While the home dates back to 1900, it’s been brought into sparkling 21st-style with an interior that reflects eco-design principles and respects Catalan Modernism. High ceilings, mosaic tiles, wooden framed French doors and upcycled furnishings create a beautiful, minimalist impression in the open-plan living room with a cool wooden kitchenette and dining table inviting Spanish feasts aplenty. The two bedrooms are equally pared-back and offer cosy beds as well as Juliet balconies with leafy views over your El Born neighbourhood. You’ll also have access to your host’s office and communal rooftop terrace on the eighth floor (during working hours) where hammocks invite you to spend sunny afternoons soaking up those Barcelona rays. Factor in the regular walking tours, wine tastings and food experiences your host organises for his guests, and you’re all set for a fun, culture-filled stay. Outside of your home, you’re just a five-minute walk from the Arc de Triomf, a nine-minute stroll from both Plaça de Catalunya and Ciutadella Park, while La Sagrada Familia is twenty-four minutes away on foot. 


Reclaimed Reverie

Two balconies – one at the front and one at the back of this apartment – provide beautiful views of the neighbourhood and you can even see a little bit of the sea on sunny days. Up on the top floor, natural light floods the rooms. The open living space in soft grey and teal velvet is particularly sunny. Glass doors lead out to the front terrace where waxy green banana leaves sprout from planters and dining is set for four. There’s a lazy hammock in the corner too, so you can take in that rooftop view all the way to the Sagrada Familia. You'll be able to plan your holiday from the comfort of the terrace as Barcelona spreads like a map before you. Located only minutes away from Plaça Catalunya, you'll have easy access to all parts of the city. 

Phrenology

Secured Parking

Ronda Universitat is close to Plaça Catalunya and the Modernist sights of Eixample. The central location of this convenient address is a great asset and if this is your first visit to Barcelona – it doesn't get much better than this. Enjoy being within walking distance of all the best shops, restaurants, and cultural sights including Casa Batllo and Gaudi's other spectacular works of art (a ten-minute walk away). With so much to see and do nearby, catching some respite from the city is easy here – as a soothing colour palette with calming wood tones and soft furnishings create a space boasting comfort and practicality. Sink into the plush "L" shaped sofa with a cup of tea, before running a bath and unwinding for a quiet night at home. For evenings when you're feeling most energised, lap up the ease of going on nights out too – it would be rude not to make the most of being able to walk out here after all. And of course, if you do plan on venturing further afield in the city, you'll have bus stops and metro stations within less than five minutes reach too.

Velvet Willow

Located just off the famous Barceloneta beach, Windclass Blue is a solid home for those seeking a relaxing beachside retreat. In the evenings, the Port Vell's nearby promenade is filled with great restaurants and cafes, but if you walk the other way towards Poblenou, you won't be hungry either. This is a simple, luminous home, whose design is focused more on functionality than aesthetics. Still, the beautiful view and comfort make it a good option for a small family or a group of friends. 






Windclass Blue

This Eastern-inspired home in Barcelona feels a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Step inside, and you'll instantly feel at ease, thanks to the neutral colour palette and simple yet stylish design. There are plenty of Japanese details to admire, from the custom woodwork in the entrance hall, to the woven hanging fabric on the walls. Throw open the shutters and breathe in some air at the window seat, perhaps accompanied by a cup of freshly-brewed green tea, or head outside to your private patio. The smart kitchen has everything you need to cook up some delicious dishes, before you gather your guests in the stunning dining area, with its ebony furniture and bamboo plants. When it's time to head out and about, you'll find yourself in the heart of Dreta de L'Eixample, a highly desirable neighbourhood famous for its art nouveau apartment buildings and long boulevards. Pick up a coffee and spend some time strolling the streets and admiring the architecture, before ticking off your sightseeing list. Two of Gaudí's most famous works, the Sagrada Familia and Casa Milà are within a fifteen-minute walk of your front door, and if you want to travel further afield then Verdaguer station is just five minutes away. 

Matcha Green Tea

There’s something about a mixture of lime-washed and bright white walls overlooking warm-toned Scandi furniture that fills any space with an air of exclusivity and endless good vibes. Add in a sophisticated, modern kitchen, copper details, rattan ornaments, a record player with a selection of timeless albums and a location in the heart of Barcelona and you’ve got yourself a dream of an urban retreat. Patio doors in the master bedroom open up to the balcony, so you can wake up to the fresh air soothing your skin and step out to enjoy a delicious breakfast with vistas of the Sagrada Familia overhead. Spend the afternoon curled up in front of the flat-screen TV or hop on the metro and explore the city, starting with the deservedly famous Park Güell.

The Smoky Quartz

Juicer

We love this home in Barcelona – it boasts some of the best views over Gaudi's iconic Casa Milà and L'Eixample. Housed in a 120-year-old renovated building, floor-to-ceiling windows let the daylight in, while traditional tile details and a mixture of old and new furniture give this place soul. Prepare some tapas in the sleek, grey kitchen and enjoy at the dining table or head to L'Eixample’s celebrated dining scene, just over a five-minute walk away. If the vistas from your apartment of Casa Milà have whetted your appetite to see some more, then it's a mere three-minute stroll. Or, browse the high-end boutiques in the area, then head to La Rambla de Sant Jose (also known as La Rambla de les Flors) and pick up some flowers. You'll undoubtedly be glad you picked this apartment.

The Ebony Azulejo

Nestled in the Eixample neighbourhood, this home is an ideal base for those keen to drop off their cases and explore the city with ease. Perfect for couples or small families, you’ll find everything needed for a comfortable stay here – and nearby metro stations make hopping across the city a breeze. If you don’t feel like cooking you’ll find eateries aplenty on your doorstep, and when you crave a spot of greenery, a visit to Ciutadella Park is a must for a fresh-air stroll. 

Barcelona Soul

The architectural details in Cinder Symmetry are the most characterful part of this comfortable, bright home. Even though it's a rental property, the professional touch of an interior designer is evident in the selection of high-quality, minimalist furniture that doesn't clash with the busy walls. El Born is close to the Gothic Quarter, but has a completely different character –  think fewer tourist hotspots, and far more award-winning tapas bars. 

Cinder Symmetry

When your home is just a three-minute walk from the dragon-like facade of Casa Batlló, you can certainly say that you’re in the heart of Gaudí’s Barcelona. Inside, colour and decor work together to create a playful and quirky vibe. The bright green shutters on the French doors certainly look traditional, but contrast tastefully with modern interiors. Similarly, we love the minimalist furniture in the kitchen and living space, juxtaposed with busy, patterned feature wallpaper. Situated on one of the main veins of the city, this apartment is more than convenient. Sightseeing is easy from this location, as well as from the home itself – the balconette stretches from the lounge to the bedroom, allowing ample space to look out to fantastic views. Down on the street, you can walk two minutes to the Passeig de Gràcia metro to get all around the city. A stop you should definitely make is the thirteen-minute train trip to the Sagrada Familia. Let yourself be overwhelmed by its beauty and detail, before wandering back through the decorative blocks of the city, stopping in for tapas and wine en route home.

Zest

This stylish city centre home is perfectly nestled within short walking distance of some of Barcelona's best-loved sights and sounds. The ideal spot for tourists with a busy itinerary, this place has a luxury feel that's softened by a selection of beloved home comforts. From the super soft bed linen to the fully-equipped kitchen and lavish roll top bath, if you're hoping to experience Barcelona at its finest, take it from us, this spacious apartment is where you need to be.

With beautiful decor throughout, sensational city views and a selection of shops, cafes, restaurants and bars all less than a stone's throw away, this place really does have it all. 

Immerse yourself in Barcelona's rich cultural history as you visit the city's famed Casa Batlló. Proudly sat just a one-minute stroll from your new home from home, this must-see structure was designed by Antoni Gaudí in 1904 and has since become one of the city's most iconic landmarks.

Just a further four-minutes away, you can find yet another of Gaudi's masterpieces - La Pedrera. Here you can take some snap shots and soak up Barcelona's spectacular sights before heading to the city's most famous shopping mall, El Corte Inglés, for a much-needed spot of retail therapy.



Gaudi's Guesthouse

El Born is a bustling barrio of cafés, cocktails, and Catalan culture. Seconds from all the action, your home is located in a historical building with buckets of charm. We love the exposed brickwork and wooden beams of this original flat. These rustic structural features contrast beautifully with modern, understated furnishings and decor. Huge floor-to-ceiling windows open up on balconies overlooking the street, while cushy sofas and flowing curtains add softness to your surroundings. Up on the communal roof terrace, we recommend getting a cold drink and lying back in the sun loungers. This sunny spot is perfect for an iced coffee in the morning, or a chilled glass of wine in the evening. After relaxing up here, head down to street level to check out the bars and restaurants of El Born. It's also a fifteen-minute walk to the beach and just over five to the Parc de la Ciutadella. With the Barceloneta metro stop five minutes from home, the entire city is yours to explore. But if you're feeling a little overwhelmed by all the incredible options, your friendly host is here to help. They can provide tourist information as well as city maps, taxi booking, and tickets for monuments and museums – truly a first-class service.

Cinder Spark

Private Dryer

This apartment is on one of Barcelona's most fashionable boulevards, close to Las Ramblas and the late-night tapas bars of the Gothic Quarter. Passeig de Gràcia with its shops, restaurants and bars, is just a five-minute walk away. There’s a sense of old-world grandeur inside thanks to chandeliers and corniced ceilings, in keeping with the historic building. The apartment is family-sized, but might feel cramped at capacity with three in one bedroom and two on the sofa bed in the living room. Balconies off the living room and one of the bedrooms face Rambla Catalunya – perfect for people-watching.

The Eliza

Paid Parking

This wonderful home is located between the districts of the Gothic Quarter and Raval. It's right on the iconic Las Ramblas with its street performers, cafes, restaurants, markets and shops, and it's close to some more of Barcelona's most famous streets. Pedestrianised Calle Ferrán, which leads to the Barcelona City Hall and Plaça Reial, one of the city's most beautiful squares, are both nearby.

Back at this recently renovated apartment, we loved the characterful living space with its exposed brick walls, which are more than 200 years old and its high ceilings with wooden beams. The cute balcony is perfect for enjoying a glass of Cava while watching the comings and goings on Las Ramblas. This place is ideal for atwo couples or business professionals.


Take a Rambla Downtown	

Heated Towel Rail

We didn't expect to find a home like this in an unassuming building like the one that hides the Trojan Horse. It's obvious that an interior designer was involved in the curation of this stylish home — there's a consistent theme of industrial chic, that's best expressed by the bare brick wall and sleek lampshades. There's an abundance of natural light with two balconies extending the clutter-free and clean living space and helping this relatively small home maximise its assets. Find a sunny reading spot by the window on a Wegner-inspired chair and gather around the vibrant dining area for convivial coffee and churros – we loved the bright yellow chairs. Both bedrooms benefit from tasteful scatter cushions, throws and quirky headboards that make for a light and airy spot to relax with a magazine. From Gràcia, all the major sights are well within walking distance, including the Sagrada Familia under twenty minutes away. Explore the local neighbourhood, stopping off at its trendy cafes and family-run eateries – wherever you are, a jug of sangria and a plate of paella are never too far from hand. 

Trojan Horse

Floating Cinder is only available for longer stays, and as such we think it has to be judged slightly differently to places that are destined for short trips. For example, we wouldn’t recommend using the sofa bed (though of course, it’s your choice), but equally, the extra space and the decent kitchen weigh heavier in our verdict. It’s really important to be aware that this listing represents several flats. They are all identical, and all in the same building, but we can’t say specifically which one you’ll get.

Floating Cinder

If you’re looking for an unforgettable stay in the heart of Barcelona, this dreamy penthouse apartment is just the ticket. Located a two-minute walk from Plaça Catalunya and boasting wide-sweeping views of it from its huge private terrace, this home is the very definition of the high life. Laid out over two floors (with one bedroom on the lower floor) you’ll enjoy plenty of privacy here when needed, as well as ample space for socialising. Of course, the terrace is the main place to be for gatherings over alfresco breakfasts and sunset drinks paired with homemade tapas. But the living room – with its large glass doors and sunny dining spot – is just as enviable when it comes to lounging and spending time together. While it’s hard to resist this home’s views, we guarantee that exploring your Eixample neighbourhood is just as fun as watching the hustle and bustle of Plaça Catalunya from above. Shop along Passeig de Gràcia (a one-minute walk), admire Gaudí’s Casa Batlló (an eight-minute walk) and take an afternoon stroll through Ciutadella Park (fifteen minutes away on foot). With La Sagrada Familia a thirty-minute walk away too and countless bars, shops and restaurants on your front step, you’ve got everything you need for a perfect city stay. 


Montsià

A thoroughly down-to-earth home positioned a fifteen-minute walk from the Nova Icària beach, this apartment is effortlessly cool and utterly relaxing. We couldn’t get enough of the exposed brickwork, original ceiling beams, muted hues and abundant house plants. Furniture has been hand-selected for both style and function – tuck into homemade tapas around the Scandi dining table or get comfy with a measure of local Penedés brandy on the L-shaped couch. Bedrooms are stripped-back yet cosy, so you can guarantee a peaceful sleep night after night. When you’re done sunning yourself on Barcelona’s sandy seashore, take the leisurely thirty-minute stroll into the evocative Gothic Quarter. Enjoy a pit stop en route in Ciutadella Park and chill out with a picnic by Gaudí’s fountain. 

Rusticity

Situated a stone's throw from Passeig de Gràcia, this home is at the heart of the action. You'll find it on Gran de Gracia, nestled between Gracia and Eixample. Here, you're surrounded by an array of upmarket boutiques, bars and eateries, while Gaudi's masterpieces, Casa Milà and La Pedrera, are a ten-minute stroll away. Though being a six-minute walk from two metro stops, the city really is yours for the taking.

We love this home's elegant design aesthetic. Inside, it's a timeless canvas of high ceilings and wooden floors adorned with regal touches, from the stained glass windows to the glistening glass chandelier. The open-plan living area offers the perfect place for relaxation, including a cosy l-shaped sofa and a sweet balcony with picturesque views. After a restful slumber in the lavish bedrooms, start your days roosted here, sipping your morning coffee and soaking up the sun. After busy days exploring the city, gather around the dining table for a delicious feast prepared in the fully-equipped kitchen before slipping out for a walk at sunset.
