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 

This wonderful central location places you in the heart of Passeig de Gràcia, surrounded by tapas bars, authentic restaurants and trendy shops. You’re also a short stroll from the many highlights of Barcelona, from Gaudí's famous Casa Batlló and Casa Milà to the Sagrada Familia and bustling Plaça de Catalunya. The apartment itself is designed with functionality in mind and offers some fabulous perks. Enjoy a complementary Catalan breakfast in the cafe downstairs, all the benefits of a 5-star hotel (doorman, lobby, on-site parking), and the shared rooftop terrace with plenty of outdoor dining space for your group. 

La Vida Llega

Located in the heart of El Born — Barcelona's epicentre of cool — this apartment is surrounded by exclusive boutiques, hip bars open late into the night and the Picasso Museum, which is only four minutes' walk away. Inside the home, we admired the rustic touches left in after a recent renovation, particularly the exposed brickwork and wooden beams. You can instantly tell it will be a lovely place to escape the midday sun, with the delicate curtains on either side of the French doors fluttering about in the breeze and the parquet floor running throughout feeling cool to the touch on bare feet. When you fancy soaking up some rays, however, the building has a communal roof terrace complete with seats, a dining table and a charming view over the city's rooftops.

Tawny Cinder

All the way on the twelfth floor, this modern home has some killer views across the city. With floor to ceiling windows, the apartment is flooded with natural light in every room. The feel is decidedly contemporary, with the occasional natural addition like driftwood sculptures and potted cacti. The open-plan living and dining room is all sleek sophistication with shining hardwood floors and a long dining table set for eight. Glass doors open up to the petit balcony with a couple of chairs and table overlooking the city skyline view. This high up, you’re a world away from the street noise, but you can still experience the Barcelona buzz during the day making the thirty-minute walk to Le Sagrada de Familia or catching the metro at Poblenou, a ten-minute walk away. 

Blooming Lily

Just a few steps away from the Sagrada Familia, you'll find this chic apartment. Not only does it have a perfect location in the heart of Barcelona, but it's also stylish and convenient – city slickers will fall in love at first sight. 

Open the front door, and you'll find a gorgeous living area cloaked in greens and creams, with plenty of natural textures to bring warmth to the space. Pour a glass of Rioja and flop down on the comfy sofa, or head outside onto the balcony to enjoy your tipple in the fresh air. If you need to do some work then you'll find a desk space in one of the bedrooms, which is ideal for study sessions or remote meetings. Or, head to the kitchen to practice your Spanish-style cooking in the kitchen and share your culinary creations with your guests. 

Your first sightseeing stop will definitely be the epic Sagrada Familia, but there is plenty more to do after you've ticked off Gaudi's unfinished masterpiece. The streets of Eixample are packed with gorgeous art nouveau buildings housing boutiques and restaurants where you can blend in with the area's stylish residents. And, if you fancy exploring further afield, the winding Gothic Quarter and Barcelona Beach are both just a metro journey away. 

Sacred Prayer

This rustic yet modern apartment is located right in the heart of Barcelona, putting the very best of the city within strolling distance. Exposed brick, timber beams and Scandi-style furnishings come together nicely to create a stylish environment that’s both inviting and practical. While the well-appointed kitchen and comfortable beds feel just like home, the communal roof terrace and attentive reception staff are facilities you’re more likely to find in a trendy hotel. Get to know your El Born neighbourhood with a mosey through its historic streets. Find a tucked-away bistro for tapas and wine after checking out the Chocolate Museum, Picasso Museum and the El Born Culture and Memorial Centre, each no more than five minutes from your building. And when you’ve had your fill of the city, don your sun hat and escape to Barceloneta Beach, located only a fifteen-minute walk away.

Cinder Reach

If you can wake up and see the Sagrada Família from your bedroom window, your home must be in a pretty incredible location in Barcelona. A nine-minute walk from this Catalan colossus, this apartment offers a serene stay in an otherwise lively neighbourhood. While nearby architecture aims to overwhelm you with decorative and ornate features, the interiors here are quite the opposite – understated and zen. The decor takes inspiration from Japan, with wood-panelled walls, bamboo furnishings, and a delicate ink mural in the lounge. We love the sense of calm you can enjoy indoors, with the option to step out to your own private terrace and take in the sounds of the city centre. With coveted views of Gaudí’s masterpiece directly from this spot, we imagine you’ll be spending plenty of time up here (with a glass of tempranillo in hand). Back on ground level, take a four-minute walk to the Encants metro station and whizz around the city with ease. Whether you’d prefer a day on the shores of Barceloneta Beach, or an evening by the Magic Fountain of Montjuïc, your home is a perfect base for exploring this diverse metropolis.

Rice Wine

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

Stepping inside this apartment feels like being transported to a desert oasis. From the burnt orange tones and ceiling canopies to the art and objects, every detail evokes a wonderful sense of the exotic. And much like the surrounding streets of Eixample, this is the kind of home that will inspire you with its unique and refreshing spirit. 

Featuring an open-concept design with cosy furnishings, the owners have styled this space to fill your stay with warmth and comfort. And while there are more than a few nods to the magic of the Sahara, it’s the perfect setting to experience the distinctive beauty of Barcelona. 

Outside, days can be spent admiring Gaudí's masterpieces on Passeig de Gràcia, strolling along Rambla Catalunya, sampling the cutting-edge restaurants and savouring a traditional glass of cava as the sun sets. Wherever you find yourself, this apartment provides a wonderful sanctuary to pause, rest and soak up the generous spirit of this special city. 

Tones of Caramel 

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.

Fractal

A modern high-rise apartment just a short walk from some of Barcelona's northern beaches, this place has a dreamy balcony and far-reaching views – there's even a glimpse of the sea. Ideal for a couple or a small family, it sleeps up to four although the second bedroom is equally useful as an office if you'll be working during your stay. 

A wall of windows keeps the living space bright and cheerful, and there's a sociable flow through to the contemporary eat-in kitchen – which sports sleek black units. There's everything you need for a comfortable stay and great storage in the bedrooms for all your stuff, making it ideal for a longer stay too.

Walk less than fifteen minutes to the beach, or head to the nearby Diagonal Mar shopping centre or Parc del Fòrum. With trams just outside your door taking you into the city, all the big attractions are within easy reach too.

Easy on the Skyline

Neat and practical, this nifty studio is situated in the heart of Eixample. Its terrace looks out at a 19th-century water tower, which might not be one of the city’s most iconic landmarks but serves as a nice backdrop to a cosy cocktail evening. If you fancy a change of scenery, though, you’re within easy reach of Gaudí’s Casa Batlló, as well as Plaça de Catalunya where you’ll find plenty of shops and cafés to while away the day. And while the kitchen’s slightly limited, this home is surrounded by tonnes of bustling bars and restaurants, so you won’t have to venture far for a bite of something delicious to eat.
