Sitting in Barcelona’s Poble Sec neighbourhood, this comfortable apartment is an ideal base for families or friends looking for an inviting base to call home. Wood floors, pared-back contemporary decor and bold pops of colour add to the welcoming impression, with a sunny balcony just off of the living area beckoning morning coffees and celebratory sundowners alfresco. 

Gather together for a meal at the dining table when you’re not out sampling the many local tapas bars and restaurants, and relish retreating to the comfy bedrooms for a night of sweet dreams after a busy day of touring the city. 

Speaking of venturing out, make a beeline for the Joan Miró Foundation or explore the Laribal gardens on the lower slopes of Montjuïc. Many of Gaudí’s most impressive architectural wonders – including Casa Batlló and Casa Milà – are just a few Metro stops away, while Carrer de Blai, famous for its tapas bars and pintxos, is a short stroll from your door.

With the thriving theatre scene of the El Poble-Sec neighbourhood on your doorstep and the must-see sights of the L'Eixample district a stroll away, this is an ideal base for families looking to be close to the action. The bunk beds will be handy for kids sharing, and though the kitchen is pocket-sized, it's surprisingly well-equipped for rustling up simple family meals. Rather eat out instead? There are buzzy tapas bars and restaurants on tap in the streets below. The only thing this bolthole is missing is outdoor space. But the floor-to-ceiling Juliet balcony doors are a nice touch to let the sunshine in.

In the vibrant neighbourhood of El Poble-Sec, a thriving cultural scene takes centre stage from the Avinguda del Paral·lel, to the hills of Montjuïc. A two-minute stroll from Teatre Comtal, twelve from Teatre Lliure, and fifteen from the Joan Miró Foundation, this apartment allows you to get deep into the creative dimensions of the region. But in such lively surroundings, a calming home is something we think you’ll really appreciate.

In a building which has stood for 120 years, your historic flat takes a different approach inside. Modern, minimalist, and relaxed, the bright living space features understated furnishings with a monochrome colour scheme. This cleverly allows its original architectural features to stand out – vaulted brick ceilings, timber beams, and exposed brickwork remind you of Barcelona of old.

Since ascending the stairs to the fifth floor is thirsty work, we recommend pouring yourself a chilled glass of Catalan wine. Take it out to peer over the wrought-iron balconette from the tall glass doors of the lounge. Or head into the main bedroom where you’ll find a cute terrace with an alfresco dining spot and fabulous views of neighbouring buildings. Anyone for a top-up?

Tierno feels well looked after and it's clear that this home was put together with care. The style and the colours are both coherent, which is most obvious in the open communal area that leads to the private terrace with a view of Avinguda Diagonal. There are two bathrooms in this home for a maximum occupancy of nine, which is borderline, but if you're ok with that, then you'll fully enjoy Tierno. Sant Antoni is famous for its culinary scene, and its most prominent landmark – Mercat de Sant Antoni – is only a few minutes away.

Tierno

Walk to Las Ramblas, with its stylish boutiques and fine dining, in just twenty minutes when you stay at this stylish apartment in Barcelona. It's just a few minutes further to Plaça De Catalunya, or head to the trendy bars of the Gothic Quarter, just over a quarter of an hour on foot. El Molino theatre, often referred to as Barcelona's Moulin Rouge, is a three-minute walk. In the second half of July, the neighbourhood stages the annual Festa Major, hosting barbeques, DJs and various events. Back at this stylish home – it has buckets of character mixed with modern features such as the contemporary staircase. We love that the exposed brick and original wooden beams follow through the entire apartment too. Whip up some tapas in the vibrant red kitchen, then relax with a glass of wine. This place is perfect for unwinding in after a busy day in this stunning city.

Outside, make the short stroll on to Passeig de Gracia to admire Gaudi’s Casa Milà and then head towards Sagrada Família – a twenty–minute walk. Make a refreshing pause in one of the local restaurants or bars – this is a wonderful way to savour the atmospheric charm of Barcelona. And wherever the city takes you, this lovely apartment is the perfect setting to relax in style.

This stylish apartment, housed in a grand period building, has a fantastic address. Gaudí's masterpiece Casa Batlló is a three-minute saunter, while it's a six-minute stroll to Paseo De Gracia with its museums and designer boutiques galore (Gucci, Chanel and Versace, amongst many others). Plaza Catalunya and Las Ramblas, on the other hand, are a ten-minute walk away or visit one of Barcelona's most iconic attractions, the Sagrada Familia, just over twenty minutes on foot.

Back at this home, open the French doors to the balcony and have a seat on the comfy sofa after all that sightseeing. We love the high ceilings here and traditional wall mouldings. There's a gorgeous, modern four-poster bed as well – this place is perfect for a couple or friends looking for a bolt hole in Barcelona.

From its warm, earthy hues to its blend of beautiful textures, this home in Barcelona’s Eixample neighbourhood instantly feels calming.

The city’s cultural depth and diversity, reflected in this apartment’s refined aesthetic, have been intentionally designed to maximise your city break.

What this home does so well is create a harmonious system of thought within its design - think traditional, high cornice ceilings combined with a modern blend of hardwood, parquet and local tile flooring. Nothing will feel better than sinking into your sheets in your dusky blue bedroom, trees grazing your windowsill, after a day exploring the Gaudí sights.

We love how well positioned this apartment is – take yourself on a tour of the shopping district and El Corte Inglés and then treat yourself to a flavourful array of Spanish pintxos. If you’re here to experience the city’s culinary highlight by El Bulli veteran chefs, make sure to get your dinner booking locked in at Disfrutar for an unmissable, Michelin Mediterranean experience.

Newly decorated, the bright living space is where original features meet chic design – from the timber-framed shutters and wood floors to the animal print rug, creative lighting and vibrant pieces of modern art. Days begin out on your private balcony with a freshly brewed cup of coffee as you watch the locals go about their business below. Speaking of, there's a dedicated home office space for those keeping one eye on business during their stay. Gather the group in the stylish dining area and feast together on traditional tapas dishes, or if you'd prefer to hand over the catering duties while you're here, you'll find a surplus of authentic eateries and restaurants right on your doorstep. 

When you're not hanging out at home, take some time to explore the city from your prime location. You're just a six-minute walk from Plaça d'Espanya, while Barcelona's Gothic Quarter and its famous Cathedral are twenty-six minutes away on foot. 

Sant Antoni Vermouth

What a fabulous location this stylish apartment has in Barcelona – Gaudí's masterpiece Casa Batlló is a mere three-minute stroll away. If designer shopping is more your bag, then Paseo De Gracia is a six-minute saunter with its boutiques such as Gucci, Chanel and Versace. Lively Plaza Catalunya and Las Ramblas are both a ten-minute walk or another of Gaudí's iconic landmarks, the Sagrada Familia is just over twenty minutes on foot.

This home is housed in a grand period building. We love the open plan living space with its high ceilings, exposed brick walls and stunning steel, open-tread staircase – this place has a cool, warehouse vibe. Elsewhere in the apartment, you’ll find traditional features such as barrel-vaulted ceilings and Spanish tiles. Open the French doors onto the balcony with its views over the neighbourhood, whip up a fideuà in the modern kitchen and enjoy a Catalan feast at your dining table.

We love how well positioned this apartment is – take yourself on an architectural walking tour of Gaudí’s most famous buildings and then treat yourself to a flavourful array of Spanish pintxos.

L'Artiste

With its trendy colour palette and sleek modern design, this Eixample apartment offers first-class urban living. The marine blue accent wall makes the open-plan living space feel connected and cosy, while boiserie and marble-effect details add a touch of elegance. You’ll begin your mornings at the dining table with a traditional Catalan breakfast before nipping onto the balcony to bask in the glorious sunshine.

Weave through the Gothic Quarter’s charming streets – stop for a coffee on La Rambla and pore over the masterpieces in the Picasso Museum. And when the day draws to a close, take the twenty-four-minute bus trip to Barceloneta Beach to watch the sun set over the glittering Mediterranean.

If we could choose one street out of the thousands in Barcelona to lay our hats for a stay in the city, it would always be the leafy, pedestrianised Carrer d'Enric Granado of the L'Eixample district. And luckily for you, it's the setting of this oh-so-elegant apartment. Brimming with highly-brunchable cafes, ice-cream parlours, and galleries and within walking distance of the city's must-see sights, you couldn't dream up a better location. 

Inside, vaulted ceilings dating way back to the 1800s bring all the wow factor – while a glorious mishmash of heirloom-worthy antiques and curated artwork add layers of interest and authenticity. Guests rave about the careful attention to detail here and we couldn't agree more. There's a dedicated desk area to keep on top of emails, a slick kitchen, and two fully modernised bathrooms, complete with rainfall showers to kick start your day.

But the clincher for us has to be that lavish living room with panoramic views of the city from the Juliette balcony. Grab yourself a freshly brewed coffee and peer out over the balcony to watch city life awaken below along its leafy avenue – it's everything you imagined it would be.

Enrique's Place

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

Temperature Control

The streets of Barcelona’s atmospheric Gothic Quarter are on your doorstep at this stylish city bolthole. Once you’ve had your fill of ancient cathedrals, secret squares and late-night tapas joints, perhaps hit the beach at Barceloneta, a leisurely walk away. It’s a studio-style apartment, but a room divider provides a little privacy between the bedroom area and dine-in living room. Plus, sliding doors can shut off the compact kitchen so fridge noise won’t keep you up at night. The bonus is the balcony which is petit but furnished with a bistro set.

El Albergue

Balcony / Patio

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.

The City Flower

Safe

An outdoor terrace is always a nice addition to a home regardless of the location, but in a sunny city like Barcelona, it's even more welcome. This apartment's large alfresco space complete with a shady pergola and a couple of loungers is sure to be appreciated during the height of summer.

We're happy to report that this address is far from a one-trick pony, however. There's a wealth of space inside and bountiful amounts of natural light from the large windows, which is allowed to flow through the interior thanks to the clever use of internal glass panels. Although the design is largely pared-back, there are a few characterful touches that caught our eye, including the patterned tiled flooring in the kitchen and the hanging egg chair in one of the bedrooms.

What's perhaps most impressive is that this large home isn't on the outskirts of the city, but a mere three minutes' walk from Plaça de Catalunya and the start of La Rambla. With Eixample just to the north here as well, you're never going to be short of galleries, restaurants or historic attractions within strolling distance of the front door.

Barcelona is one of the world's most stylish cities, and this chic apartment reflects its location perfectly. Whether you're in the city for business, to catch up with friends and family, or simply to enjoy the Catalonian lifestyle, it's a great place to call home during your trip. 

Push open the front door, and you'll find monochrome furnishings with the occasional pop of blue – this contemporary space is perfect for relaxing between your adventures. The open-plan set-up means you can chat with your fellow guests while cooking or preparing drinks, and there's space for the whole group to gather around the table for some quality time together. 

From here, you can easily explore the city – the surrounding Eixample district is famous for its art nouveau architecture, buzzing bars, and trendy restaurants. The iconic Casa Milà is just around the corner, while the Sagrada Familia is a twenty-minute walk away. And, if you want to venture further afield in the city, simply hop on the metro at Diagonal station – it's only a two-minute walk away.

Juicer

This apartment makes a great base for an exciting city stay. Located right in the heart of Barcelona, it’s just a 100-metre stroll to Las Ramblas, while the beach is just 2 kilometres away. And while there is plenty to explore on the doorstep, this home brings ease, comfort and convenience to city living. It’s likely you’ll hear some street noise throughout your stay, but you will find it’s well suited to couples and families with the handy addition of a sofa bed in the living room. 

Sunflower Serenade 

This elegant apartment is in the centre of Barcelona, 100 metres from Las Ramblas and a short walk from Plaza de Catalunya. Bars, restaurants and shops are all on your doorstep. Apart from a full kitchen and delightful dining room inside, there’s a private terrace for evening cocktails outside. In the living room, you’ve got a dedicated laptop desk for those that need to work remotely. Despite the central location, it’s pretty quiet as the rooms look out over the terrace rather than the busy street. 

When the City Sleeps

This apartment has a modern style and is located in the heart of Barcelona's bustling city centre, next to Plaça de Catalunya and Passeig de Gràcia. Just a five-minute stroll from the Barri Gòtic and El Born, as well as being surrounded by plenty of bars and restaurants, you really couldn't be asked to be better placed. The home also benefits from a Juliet balcony and a stylish living area with a sociable breakfast bar – ideal for morning coffees before setting off for a day of sightseeing. You're also a three-minute walk from the FGC train station and the Plaça Catalunya metro station, both connecting you to the entire city with ease. 

Franciscan Flavour

Live like a local in this smart Barcelona apartment, located in the vibrant Eixample district. You'll love getting comfortable in the bright living room, perhaps opening a bottle of Spanish red wine, and planning your stay in the city. When you get hungry, you can whip up your favourite meal in the kitchen, before gathering around the chic glass table to enjoy your culinary creations – there are even a few flamingoes on the wall for company. However, we think the best part of this contemporary home has to be the balcony, a fantastic spot for people-watching and chilling out at all times of day. The surrounding area is famous for its modernist architecture, and you'll love wandering through the streets, dipping into local boutiques and cafés as you go. The breathtaking Parc Joan Miró is just a ten-minute walk away, where you'll find plenty of open space, while the Plaça d'Espanya is just a little further. And, with the nearest metro station just one block away, it's very straightforward to get around the city from here, should you want to travel further afield. 

Flamingo

On a leafy tree-lined street in central Barcelona, this apartment makes the perfect setting for a dreamy city escape. From Antoni Gaudí’s modernist masterpieces to the vibrant foodie scene, laid-back beaches and lively buzz of Plaça de Catalunya (just an eight-minute walk away), there’s everything you could need to experience the magic of Mediterranean living.

Inside, you’ll find traditional features sitting in perfect harmony with contemporary comforts. From the open-plan living room to the cosy bedrooms, every detail inspires a wonderful sense of welcome. So whether you’re enjoying a morning coffee by the little balcony or sharing drinks as the sun goes down, this is the kind of space that perfectly adapts to suit the need of the moment.  

Days can be spent wandering the narrow medieval streets of the Gothic Quarter (just a short walk away), pausing in trendy bars and savouring spectacular views from Park Güell. And when you’ve admired the city’s artistic landscape from multiple vantage points, you’ll find this apartment provides a wonderful refuge – the perfect place to relax and unwind in style. 

La Casa Roja

With a fantastic position in the middle of Eixample, this apartment puts you close to many of Barcelona's most famous sights. Even if you plan to spend most of your time exploring the city's streets, you'll be happy to return to this stylish home at the end of the day.

High ceilings and tall windows mean that the interior feels bright and airy, but there's also a Juliet balcony if you want to feel the breeze on your face at any point. There's a lot to like about the design too, with wooden furnishings and surfaces going nicely with the cool grey tiles and eclectic selection of objets d'art. We're fans of the exposed brickwork in the master bedroom, which adds a loft feel to the space, as well as the pristine subway tiling in the bathrooms.

When it comes to sightseeing, the place to start has to be Casa Milà, which lies five minutes' walk from the home. One of Gaudí's other famous creations, La Sagrada Familia, can be reached in twenty-five minutes on foot, too. The Gothic Quarter takes a similar amount of time in another direction.

A Shining Example

There's a reason Eixample is one of Barcelona's most sought-after neighbourhoods. It's known for modernist architecture, upscale shopping, and lively eateries – in our opinion, you couldn't ask for a better stomping ground. Alongside being centrally located, this apartment is stylish and comfortable. We're big fans of the hanging chair in the main bedroom's sunny nook – the perfect spot to unwind with a glass of Rioja – while the dedicated workspace is ideal for business travellers. The second bedroom is on the cosier side, so it's a better fit for children.

Be Live

Luxury Toiletries

With a private concierge, access to a gym and a sauna too, this apartment is more of a mission to outdo luxury hotels than a cosy holiday home. Upon check-in, you'll be given a pillow catalogue to make sure your neck and head are well-rested, and that's just one example of the high-end service on offer. This home is built with a love for the finer things, so expect designer furniture, rainfall showers, and a highly curated selection of artworks. Our favourite personal touch is the well-stocked bookshelf with titles in all genres, while the shared swimming pool gives you fantastic views across Barcelona's rooftops. Getting around couldn't be simpler from this location in Eixample, which is home to Gaudí's Casa Milà and Sagrada Familía along with countless restaurants, boutiques and bars. 

The Epicurean Spirit

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

There's room for all eight of you to pile into this chic Barcelona bolthole, placed right in the heart of Eixample's wander-worthy, elegant streets. 

Get off to a flying start exploring the city at the Cathedral of Barcelona (just thirteen minutes on foot). Stop by Plaça Reial, just around the corner, for a spot of brunch with the fountain and palm trees as your backdrop. Then hit the tree-lined streets of La Rambla (seventeen minutes on foot) for some retail therapy. Or, for a slice of something more authentic, stop by La Boqueria Market (twenty-two minutes on foot), the city's most flamboyant and bustling market, for a market-fresh snack.

When it's time to escape the bustle for a while, the beach for an afternoon of lounging around on the golden sand and sipping a glass of Sangria is never far away. Or head back home to this fresh and inviting city hideaway.

Housed in a grand art nouveau apartment building typical of the city, you can tell a designer has been working their décor wizardry inside this home. Light-filled and minimalist, there's a great mid-century quality about the space alongside parquet wooden flooring and those lofty ceilings. We adore the bespoke wooden kitchen – ideal for whipping up a delicious breakfast in the morning, along with a cup of coffee. And there's space for you all to spill out around that dining table as you hatch plans for another adventure in the city.


Rocking It

Having recently undergone a renovation, this Gràcia apartment is awash with earthy colours, natural materials and leafy houseplants. It could be said that the design isn't so much led by Catalan influences as by North African style – whatever the inspiration, it's undeniably easy on the eye.

Not only that, but it's somewhere in which you'll quickly feel at home. The sleek white kitchen is plenty big enough for whipping up family-sized feasts, while there are a couple of spots in which to do nothing more strenuous than relax and take it easy – the hammock chair is sure to be a firm favourite among some guests, while the balcony allows you to get a burst of fresh air during warm afternoons.

That's not if you're already out and about exploring the cultural riches of Barcelona. One of the city's must-see sights – La Sagrada Familia – is less than a quarter of an hour's walk away, while you can also get to Barceloneta Beach in around half an hour on public transport.

An Eye for Fashion

With its elegant styling and artistic spirit, this apartment welcomes you to an inspiring stay in the heart of Barcelona.

Located in the leafy neighbourhood of Gràcia, this is a wonderful place to experience life as a local. From the natural light to the simple furnishings, it’s the kind of space that invites a sense of ease and relaxation to the fast pace of city life. And whether you’re enjoying your morning coffee on the patio, reading a book or sitting around the table – it’s the small details that enrich this space with warmth. 

Outside, wind your way through the charming plazas of Gràcia – there are some wonderful local shops, restaurants, and cafés here. Plus it’s only a ten–minute stroll onto Passeig de Gràcia, where you can admire the impressive work of Antoni Gaudí. 

The Modern Painter

Take a short stroll from this home and you’ll find yourself in Plaza Cataluña or wandering the streets of the Gothic Quarter. Wherever you find yourself in this central spot, there’s something impressive to admire. And when you’re looking for a simple place to pause and soak it all in, this apartment makes a great option. Designed with comfort in mind, the rooms are perfectly sized for a small group to stretch out and unwind. There’s also a sofa bed – ideal for two extra guests. 

The Brighter Place

Rooftop Terrace

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

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

Sophisticated and spacious, this period apartment is every inch the perfect Barcelona home-from-home. With tall windows and doors opening to traditional narrow balconies, high ceilings, tiled floors and shutters, it's packed with character. The huge living space has comfy sofas and chairs to one end and a big dining table at the other. A well-lit spot perfect for meals together in the sunshine, all you need to do is open the doors to let the outside in. There's a modern and well kitted-out kitchen, two good bathrooms and two large bedrooms, along with a smaller one that would suit children. Here you'll be right in the thick of things, with the Sagrada Familia cathedral and the Arc de Triomf both within a fifteen-minute walk.

Out and about, take advantage of all the bars, cafes and restaurants this district has to offer (your host can make reservations for you). If you love art, head to the Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art, a ten-minute stroll away. Mercat de Sant Antoni, a vibrant market full of fresh produce, is just over a five-minute saunter, or for more shopping opportunities – check out Las Ramblas, a fifteen-minute wander. It's the same walking distance to Plaça de Catalunya, while Barcelona Cathedral is twenty minutes on foot. Basically, there are more attractions nearby than you can shake a stick at.

Pamplemousa

Breakfast Included

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

There’s a cool arty vibe to this bright and welcoming apartment, located in Barcelona’s L'Antiga Esquerra de l'Eixample neighbourhood.

 From its vintage-inspired posters to its modernist Catalan floors, there’s a feeling of colourful fun and personality from the moment you walk through the door. We love the ample natural light that fills each room – especially the living area and main bedroom that boast French doors leading out onto Juliet balconies. Whether you perch here with your morning coffee or with a sundowner before hitting the city’s tapas bars, you’ll love looking out over your leafy street and across the Eixample’s rooftops. 

When it comes to sightseeing, you’ve got plenty of shops, restaurants and bars to explore right on your front step, while Gaudí’s elaborate Casa Milà is a twenty-minute walk away. You’re also a twenty-five-minute stroll from bustling Plaça d'Espanya and a thirty-five-minute walk from the famous Sagrada Familia.


Modernist Times

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.
