With its vibrant street art and foodie culture, this Sant Antoni apartment offers a central base for exploring Barcelona. You'll find this home nestled perfectly, just a seven-minute stroll from the neighbourhood's beautiful thirteenth-century open-air market. Swing by to taste-test its delectable array of food stalls, find hidden vintage gems or, on Sundays, leaf through second-hand books and magazines.

With its stylish design and dynamic oil paintings, imported all the way from South Africa, this home impresses with its eclectic and considered aesthetic. We especially love the light-filled and open-plan living space, creating an inviting atmosphere where you'll love spending time after a day of gallery hopping. After a restful slumber, spend mornings roosted at the dining table for breakfast, prepared in the fully-equipped kitchen, to fuel up for another day of sightseeing. 

Here, you're a fifteen-minute walk from Plaça de Catalunya and La Rambla, while the closest metro station is three minutes away on foot. After exploring Barcelona’s famous Mercado de la Boqueria you’ll be in need of nourishment - our pick is Els Sortidors del Parlament, a quick ten minutes from the market, a contemporary bodega offering wine from the barrel and small Catalan tapas plates - their gourmet shop is the perfect gift spot. From there, you’re right in the thick of Sant Antoni where you’ll find the city’s wrought-iron architectural highlights and experience the true vibrancy of the neighbourhood.

The Singing Butler

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

Cool, calm and collected, this Eastern-inspired apartment in Barcelona's vibrant Eixample district is all set to offer you a relaxing, carefree stay. From its wooden surfaces and beige tones to the hemp furnishings and curated houseplants, there's a feeling of balance and zen here that makes for a welcomed break from the excitement of the city outside. Infusing dome ceilings and Catalonian-style beams with Indonesian art prints and Shoji-style panelling in the hallway, you'll have no trouble curling up on the sofa for a quiet moment's downtime in this sanctuary of serenity. When you're feeling a bit livelier, stick a vinyl on the record player and listen to your favourite tunes while cooking in the kitchen. Outside of your home, the surrounding neighbourhood has plenty of supermarkets, restaurants and bars to sample, while two of Gaudí's most famous works, the Sagrada Familia and Casa Milà are just under fifteen minutes away on foot. When you return, light a couple of candles and run yourself an indulgent bubble bath, or break open a bottle of Spanish wine and perch over the standing balcony, watching the world go by in this iconic part of town. 

Indonesian Oak

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

Eclectic and bold, this contemporary artistic penthouse invites you to experience Barcelona from your own creative universe. You can feel the Eixample neighbourhood energy from both of your private roof terraces - prime spots to revitalise after a day admiring the artworks at the Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art - only a seventeen-minute walk from your home.

The city’s cultural depth and diversity, reflected in this apartment’s dynamic aesthetic, have been intentionally designed to maximise your city break. Unique and diverse artworks canvas the walls of your bright apartment, whilst a host of collectables and considered antiquities add personal depth to this visionary aesthetic. The glossy stainless steel kitchen is kitted out for quick bites as well as home-hosted dinners - the central dining table is situated perfectly to share a bottle of orange wine you picked up from Vella Terra, a ten-minute walk away. What this home does so well is create an original system of thought within its design - prioritising every moment you have in the home. Nothing will feel better than cosying up on the huge custom bed in the cinema room for a movie after a day exploring the Gaudí sights.

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. If you’re here to experience the city’s culinary highlights, check out Morro Fi for savoury bites or Lomo Alto for a dry-aged meat affair, just fifteen minutes from your penthouse.

L'Artiste

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.


Modern Romance

On a mission to beat any hotel, this home provides an impeccable level of service. This is not a humble and personable holiday stay, but a slick operation with a 24/7 concierge that will offer you a pillow catalogue when you check-in. Filled with designer furniture and high-quality appliances, it's a great choice for those who want more autonomy with on-demand hotel service whenever they need it. And that doesn't mean compromising on style – you'll find high ceilings, statement lighting and even a carefully selected collection of books, creating a sleek ambiance with just a hint of retro charm. And, with this home, you get more than just a place to sleep and eat – how about taking a dip in the rooftop pool or working out in the gym before hitting the sauna? You're also perfectly located to see the sights, including Gaudí's Casa Milà and La Sagrada Familia, and the surrounding Eixample neighbourhood is full of one-off boutiques and restaurants. 

The Epicurean Way

With authentic Spanish interiors and a prime location in Barcelona's Gothic Quarter, this apartment is ideal for those looking to be within walking distance of the city's most celebrated sights. You're a short stroll from Barcelona Cathedral, Plaza Catalunya and the Parc de la Ciutadella with plenty of excellent shopping and dining options right on your doorstep. Inside, traditional Catalan touches combine with a contemporary design to add real warmth to the pad – that said, the bedrooms do vary in size and there's limited storage space. 

Casa de Vida

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

Right in among the bustling main boulevards of Barcelona, only 250 metres from the grandeur of Plaça d'Espanya, colourful apartment blocks line the street and stretch all the way up to the blue skies. Just like this spectacular city, traditional Catalan architecture and 21st-century lifestyles combine to create a fabulous apartment.

As soon as you step inside, style and creativity come to the fore. We love the original, historic features in the living space. Wooden-panelled walls and the exposed brickwork of vaulted ceilings help to make an even starker contrast with modern furnishings. Pour yourself a glass of sangría at the suitably red dining table, where ghost chairs and a lime-green retro fridge add a quirky edge to the interiors.

But while it’s all about colour and style inside, the outdoor areas let the city do the talking. Panoramic views of this vibrant metropolis stretch out for miles through the glass ‘infinity’ banisters of your peach-coloured terrace. Settle down on the sun loungers with a bowl of olives and some artisan Catalan cheeses as you peruse the selection of sights down below. Or your host can even arrange something for you if you can’t quite decide.

El Préssec

Situated in the affluent neighbourhood of Dreta de l'Eixample, this home offers a stylish base at the heart of the action. You'll find it nestled in a contemporary building on the top floor, providing a tranquil base amidst the hustle and bustle of the city. Here, you're surrounded by metro links and a short walk from the famous Plaza Catalunya and Las Ramblas. The Passeig de Gràcia, with its delightful cluster of upmarket boutiques and Gaudi masterpieces, is also just a four-minute stroll from your doorstep. 

We love this home's open-plan design aesthetic. Inside, it's a timeless canvas of white walls and wooden floors, adorned with stylish decor. Large windows offer pretty views of the street while ushering sunlight to flood the space. After a restful slumber in the lavish bedrooms, spend mornings roosted at the dining table for coffee and breakfast. The fully-equipped kitchen has everything you could need to prepare a home-cooked feast, though if you'd prefer to try the local cuisine, you're in an ideal spot to do so. Eixample is brimming with cafes and eateries, not to mention swish bars for those sunset cocktails.

One To Remember

Cool, calm and collected, this Scandinavian-chic penthouse is blessed with plenty of charisma. Everything about this home is effortlessly stylish – we especially love the vintage Beni Ourain-inspired rug, the handcrafted wooden light fixture, and the 1950s Ercol butterfly chairs. However, the cherry on top is the huge arched window in the living room, which frames the beautiful buildings of Avenida Diagonal in a mesmerising way. So, excuse us while we take a moment to imagine ourselves sitting in front of the luminous windows, enjoying the majestic views. Should this magnificent view not be enough, there's also a welcoming private terrace that's kitted out for alfresco feasts, while the adjacent sunroom is perfect for an afternoon siesta. Enjoy a glass of cava on the sun lounger before heading out to explore the neighbourhood. Explore Eixample and stroll along nearby streets, including the pedestrianised Enric Granados, vibrant Casanova and upmarket Aribau – all of which are lined with charming cafes, outstanding restaurants and vibrant bars within a fifteen-minute walk.
