If you're looking to stay in Eixample, then you might already know that it's filled with architectural masterpieces. Well, guess what – you'll be staying right around the corner from Casa Batlló and Casa Milà, which will make sightseeing effortless. At just a two- and eight-minute walk respectively, your apartment is a wonderful base for Gaudí fans. Unlike the striking architecture around you, the home interiors feel understated yet elegant. Overall it’s a modern vibe, with Scandinavian-style furniture. However, you will find hints of tradition from Catalan design features like decorative tiled floors and arched, wooden shuttered windows. Unwind on the leather sofa, or read your novel in the rattan chair in the lounge. Another excellent spot for relaxation is the private roof terrace with its outdoor sofa and dining table. We love the terracotta tiles and the spectacular views out to the modernist buildings of Barcelona. To make your time here extra special, your host can even arrange a private massage in the home, and of course offers a complimentary bottle of cava upon arrival. Salud!

The Congress of the Hundred

Centrally located, this light and cosy apartment is the perfect resting point during your stay in Barcelona. We love the balcony – the perfect place to perch with your morning coffee as you watch the hustle and bustle unfold below. Head out to explore the charming city of Barcelona, with a wide range of bars and eateries to unwind in, as well as a ton of shops to browse throughout your stay. Our recommendation? Visit the waterside for some lovely views and the sparkling Barcelona Port Vell.

Daily Dream

Ideally located in central Barcelona, this apartment offers great proximity to some of the city’s greatest sights, and attractions. Admire the home’s unique brickwork art as it greets you and welcomes you to Barcelona. Perfect mornings here begin with a breakfast tortilla eaten at the kitchen island with the soft breeze from the Juliet balcony floating in. Then, head out onto the balcony with your coffee to enjoy the views and the sun on your skin. 

Catch up on any important work at the desk space before heading out for a day of exploring. Take a leisurely stroll around the beautiful Ciutadella Park – a seven-minute walk away, or visit the Gothic Quarter and Cathedral – reachable in nine minutes on foot. You can even hop on and off a bus tour of the city to take in as many sights as possible. 

In the evening, dine in one of the many restaurants in the neighbourhood which are reachable in as little as a one-minute walk, or try cooking your own Catalan dishes. We would then love to end the day with a glass of sangria on the balcony, to enjoy the last of the views as night-time descends. 

Green Eyed Girl

When you visit Barcelona, you want to be in the thick of things to really soak up the atmosphere. This wonderful room is in a hotel in the heart of the Eixample neighbourhood, surrounded by excellent bars, restaurants and shops. There aren’t any kitchen facilities, but you won’t miss cooking when you have so many excellent dining options nearby. You’re also within easy walking distance of some of the city’s top attractions – Casa Batlló is just a two-minute walk away. 

The room is simple and elegant. The desk means you can catch up on work during your stay, and the balcony is a great spot for sipping your morning coffee and watching the city come to life below. After a day spent seeing the sights, you’ll love heading up to the shared rooftop terrace for a nightcap. 


A Roof With a View

Located in the trendy Eixample neighbourhood, on the arterial Passeig de Gràcia, this apartment has Barcelona’s best bits within easy reach. Gaudi's La Sagrada Família is no more than a twenty-minute walk away and you’re practically neighbours with Casa Milà and Casa Batlló. Saunter into the Gothic Quarter for charming medieval streets and authentic tapas bars or jump on the bus and make haste to the coast – Barceloneta Beach is only twenty minutes away. 

Inside the home, it’s modern and functional with everything you need to settle into city living. Put together quick meals in the kitchenette and dine in front of the large Juliette balcony doors. If a siesta is on the cards, quiet bedrooms guarantee a peaceful snooze. After busy afternoons spent exploring, curl up on the sofa with a glass of Rioja and reflect on the day’s events.  

Thinking Out Loud

Drink up next-level city views and sunshine from the shared rooftop terrace and restaurant of this sublime boutique hotel set in a sandstone period building in vibrant El Raval. Sunny mornings are all about continental breakfasts on the shared terrace (there's no kitchen in your room here), though if the weather doesn't buck up, there's heaps of space inside the restaurant too. And the views of Plaça de la Universitat are sensational whether you're inside or out. 

Back downstairs, you'll love the gloriously clutter-free and contemporary interiors of the room. There's a dedicated desk space if you plan to work during your stay. And daily housekeeping will keep everywhere spick and span, leaving you to focus on exploring the city. Dive into the lively streets surrounding Plaça de la Universitat to discover trendy boutiques lining Rambla del Raval and the colourful market at La Boqueria (ten minutes on foot). And for art lovers, the contemporary Catalan art of MACBA is just a short stroll away. 

The Roof Is on Fire

Situated close to the lovely Ciutadella Park and the Arc de Triomf, this apartment has a small balcony and minimal furniture for maximum space. We think it's a great choice for families – your host may be able to provide a cot and high chair if you're travelling with little ones, and well-behaved pets are welcome. The decor is a charming blend of original features from when the home was first built in 1910, along with more modern elements to make your stay comfortable and easy.

La Casa Joana

In the heart of Eixample, this apartment will be the envy of Gaudí fans, at just an eight-minute walk from Casa Milà and two minutes from the glimmering facade of Casa Batlló. Even more impressive is the balconette at the front. It looks like a typical view of Barcelona’s fabulous modernist architecture, until you realise you're staring at the back of Casa Batlló itself. We think peering over the railings here is the perfect way to start your holiday with a bottle of complimentary wine upon arrival from your host. Say ‘salud’ as you clink glasses and start exploring the home. With modern furniture and a clean, sleek colour scheme of whites and greys, the overall atmosphere is fairly relaxed. And for even more relaxation, you’ve got a bathtub to soak in, as well as a private, in-house masseuse that your host can arrange if you wish. For the more active types, you can head down to the in-building gym for residents, or step out into your local barrio to find shops, bars, restaurants, and cafés.

The Conclave of the Hundred

This apartment guarantees rest and relaxation despite its central Barcelona location. There’s a communal plunge pool on the roof terrace for escaping the summer sun, and your host can arrange massage treatments as an optional extra. Inside the home, the living space is bright and well-appointed. While the sleeping quarters are on the small side, you’ll find plenty of wardrobe space in the main bedroom. When you’re ready to explore, the heart of the Gothic Quarter is a twenty-minute walk away, and it takes sixteen minutes via the metro to reach Barceloneta Beach.


The Best of Barcelona

Full of warmth and character, this art-filled flat in Barcelona’s Dreta de l'Eixample neighbourhood is the perfect base for families or a group of friends looking to explore the city. With its beamed ceilings, exposed brick walls and eclectic paintings adorning the walls, it feels like a boho artist’s studio. However, far from being just a look-and-don’t-touch space, this home offers an array of entertainment options, including stacks of books and a movie library to choose from for quiet nights away from the hustle and bustle of the streets below. We love the living room’s floor-to-ceiling windows that fill the space with light and the French doors that lead out onto a duet of balconies. This is the perfect spot to perch with your morning coffee before heading out to explore the sights. Centrally located in one of the city’s most vibrant areas, you’re only a fifteen-minute walk from Gaudí’s impressive Casa Batlló and Casa Milà, while lively Plaça de Catalunya is a mere five-minutes away. And if you want to explore further afield, you'll find access to public transport just a few minutes walk from your front door. In the evenings, cook up a Spanish feast in the large, open kitchen or discover Eixample’s vibrant food scene right outside your door. Finish evenings with a glass of wine on the balcony before retreating to your bedrooms for a restful night’s sleep. 


The Matador Gallery

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.

Spanish Sahara

Step into your own vermillion-hued slice of heaven. Everything about this gorgeous one-bed penthouse in Port Vell is pitched to perfection – the suntrap terrace that catches the breeze from the Mediterranean, the contemporary yet quintessentially Catalonian kitchen, the exposed brick and plants on every surface. Stroll down the palm-lined Rambla del Mar to the shore, where you can indulge in sweet treats and traditional restaurants, or even take a dip in the ocean. Wind up a romantic evening with a movie on the sofa or watching the sky change colour while sipping sangria on the terrace.
