Sagrada Família Five Bedroom Homes

Maresme

• 10 guests

• 5 bedrooms

Diagonal Mar i el Front Marítim del Poblenou, Sant Martí

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.

The Epicurean Spirit

• 9 guests

• 5 bedrooms

Vila de Gràcia, Gràcia

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.

The Ebony Azulejo

• 13 guests

• 6 bedrooms

Dreta de l'Eixample, Eixample

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.
