Located in La Salut, in Barcelona’s Gracia district, this home is a perfect fit for four. It’s an ideal base whether you’re in the city for business or leisure, with sightseeing spots aplenty and a dedicated office space for digital nomads. And the balcony, while cosy, is just the spot for people watching after a busy day of sightseeing. Locally, Parc del Guinardó is well worth a visit for a fresh-air stroll and panoramic views of the city, or you can hop on the metro for trips further afield.

Nestled in the heart of Gràcia and situated in one of Barcelona’s most famous modernist buildings, this stunning 20th-century apartment is the perfect base for exploring the Catalan capital. 

You might recognise this home from the big screen – it’s been featured in films by both Wim Wenders and Pedro Almodóvar – or from the pages of El País, where it was listed as one of the country’s most unique homestays. Originally built in 1906 to accommodate the wealthy Ramos family, it’s practically overflowing with old-school charm, boasting ornate ceilings and gleaming parquet flooring, not to mention an abundance of unique design details – think gilded mirrors and bold art prints – that make this apartment one to remember.

Start your day with a leisurely coffee in the palatial living room, then head downstairs and treat yourself to a refreshing dip in the private pool. If you’re anything like us, you could easily see yourself spending all day out here in the building’s secluded gardens but with Barcelona’s historic Gothic Quarter just a twenty-minute metro ride away, it would be rude not to head out and see what the rest of the city has to offer. Lose yourself down the paved streets of the city centre or make your way to Barceloneta for a day of sunbathing on one of its sandy beaches. And when you've had your fill of being out and about, what better way to end the day than with a well-deserved glass of wine in your luxury home from home? Bliss.

The Architect's Sanctuary

One of architect Antoni Gaudí’s masterpieces, the Casa Milà, is just a twenty-minute walk or a nine-minute ride from this home. For some green space, head to Turó Park, with its elegant water features, pretty flower beds and winding paths, a seven-minute amble away. Or just take a stroll around this historic neighbourhood, home to Barcelona University and the restored 1930s market, Mercat del Ninot (eleven minutes on foot), which is great for seafood tapas.

Back at this home, we love the Moroccan inspired design inside – this and the living area’s vaulted ceilings and exposed beams were the first things to catch our eye. The earthy tones create an oasis of calm. Open up the french doors to the cosy balcony with its potted Sansevieria and cactus plants and listen to the sounds of Barcelona. Past the kitchen, there’s a dedicated workspace if you need to catch up on work or if you fancy writing a blog about your time in this fabulous city.

Located in Barcelona's historic Sant Antoni neighbourhood – known for its wrought-iron architecture, 19th-century market and Vermouth cocktail bars – this traditional apartment welcomes you to experience the bustling Eixample district in style. 

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.

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

Private Entrance

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. 

Spend afternoons ticking off Barcelona’s cultural hot spots – Gaudí’s Casa Batlló is a mere 160 metres from your building and La Sagrada Família is a leisurely twenty-five-minute walk away. 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.

Located on the cusp of the Eixample neighbourhood, this apartment puts you in an excellent position to explore the city in style. It's right on the Ronda de la Universitat, a major thoroughfare in the city, but this sanctuary is pretty peaceful – thanks to it being on the inner side of the building, you get to enjoy the central location without the noise. We liked the splashes of mauve in the living room, as well as the use of natural materials. The kitchen is kitted out with basic seasonings and cooking ingredients, and there's a juicer and Nespresso machine to make mornings a delight. And the true standout feature of this home is the bedroom, with its impressive modern twist on a classic four-poster bed and painted brick wall. Step outside, and it's just a four-minute walk to the Plaça de Catalunya, and you can arrive at the labyrinthine Gothic Quarter in less than fifteen minutes.

You're in for a treat with a stay at this contemporary apartment perched along a handsome leafy avenue of the well-heeled Eixample district. Home to Gaudí's architectural gems, haute couture shops, and Michelin star restaurants, they call this neck of the woods Quadrat d'Or (Golden Square) for a good reason.

Back at home, the pristine, uncluttered interiors will appeal to all you minimalists out there. Flooded with natural daylight thanks to those floor-to-ceiling Juliet balcony windows, it feels like a breath of fresh air to return to after a day soaking up all that Gaudi extravagance in the streets below.

Drop your bags in the spacious hallway, grab a glass of something crisp (the complimentary chilled wine will help with that), then fling the balcony doors open wide to watch the grand avenue of Gran Via bustle below. One of Barcelona's longest boulevards crossing right through the city, it's an impressive sight to behold. And thanks to its elevated position on the fifth floor, the spacious bedrooms feel surprisingly quiet at night with the windows closed and the black-out blinds drawn.

How Transparent

Juicer

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

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.

Located in the vibrant neighbourhood of Eixample, this stylish apartment provides an oasis of calm in the heart of the city.

Stepping through the old wooden doors and into this building feels inspiring – it's steeped in tradition with echoes of Spain’s impressive architectural heritage. And the elegance continues inside this apartment. Period features sit alongside luxurious details creating a sense of warmth and character – making it easy to settle in and feel at home. Whether you're preparing drinks in the kitchen or simply watching the sunlight dance across the treetops – this is the kind of space that enriches the moment. 

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. 

The Selena 

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

From its warm, earthy hues to its blend of beautiful textures, this home in Barcelona’s Eixample neighbourhood instantly feels calming. Wood floors, an alcove ceiling and ample natural light greet you in the open-plan living area where a cushy sofa invites you to kick back and relax with a glass of wine while a record serenades you. Catch up on work at the dedicated desk space here, taking breaks to perch by the Juliet balconies with a coffee. The dining table beckons hearty homemade tapas feasts when you’re not out sampling the local restaurants, while the bedroom is all ready to drift you into a good night’s sleep after a busy day in the city. 

Speaking of which, you’ve got plenty to see and do nearby with Carrer Enric Granados offering galleries, swish cafes, and luxury boutiques, as well as some of Gaudí’s most notable architectural masterpieces along famous Passeig de Gràcia.

Solange

Rooftop Terrace

This cosy apartment lies in the L'Eixample district, with its own private balcony. The central location means some noise, and parking might be tricky, but the lively locale makes it the perfect spot for getting to know the city on foot. The kitchen is on the smaller side, so you'll definitely want to take advantage of nearby eateries. With a laptop-friendly workspace and enough room on the balcony to sit with an evening sangria, this home is suited for all types of trips.

Getting to Know You

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

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

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

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

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

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

Private Washing Machine

Couples and solo travellers will be swept off their feet by this fabulous Barcelona apartment. Situated in the Gràcia neighbourhood, this stylish spot is the perfect place to call home during your stay in the city. 

Step inside, and you'll fall in love with the warm tones and welcoming ambience. From the wall hangings to the huge plants and intricate ceilings, there's plenty to feast your eyes on. Open a bottle of Rioja, pop on a record, and whip up your favourite dishes in the kitchen to share around the table. And, there's even a private balcony where you can gaze out at the world below as you sip a sundowner. 

The surrounding streets are packed with a diverse range of restaurants serving everything from vegan fare to Catalan classics. Architecture fans will be happy that Gaudi's Casa Milà is within walking distance, and the epic Sagrada Familia is a little further. And, when you want to explore the Gothic Quarter or spend a day at the beach, you can easily travel using the excellent public transport network.

After you've got ready for the night, head to Barceloneta beach. It's a fourty-seven-minute walk away, but the easiest way to get there is the metro, which takes just twenty-five minutes door-to-door. It's a great place to sunbathe by day, but even better to watch the sunset by dusk. The beach is lined with plenty of restaurants, bars, and clubs to whittle the night away.

Classic Barcelonan architecture is at the heart of this home with domed brick and beamed ceilings, wood floors and French doors giving way to a wrought-iron Juliet balcony. Located in elegant Gràcia, you’ve got some of the city’s most iconic sights within easy reach, not to mention a beautiful base to call home here. 

Perch by the Juliet balcony with your morning coffee as you take in the hustle and bustle of the street below. Then, whip up a hearty Spanish omelette in the sleek kitchen before setting off to see the sights. You’re within walking distance of Gaudí’s famous Casa Milà and Casa Vicens, as well as Plaça de la Vila de Gràcia and Avinguda Diagonal. After a day of sightseeing, come back home to relax on the large sofa with a glass of Spanish wine before setting out to discover the local tapas bars or enjoy a meal at home. When you’re ready to turn in for the night, the pared-back yet beautifully curated bedrooms are ready to ease you into a dreamy night’s sleep, sure to leave you rested and raring to go for another day of fun in the city.

Thinking Out Loud

With a direct view of Gaudí's masterpiece Casa Batlló, this luxury home's location is an indisputable superpower. So, take a seat on the balcony with the complimentary bottle of cava and admire the vista here or from one of the beds. But that's not all it has to offer – the lovely hosts have made it their mission to compete with the architectural masterpieces in Eixample. A love for peacocks and flamingos is reflected in the many paintings and statues around this home, while the contrast between turquoise and pink is a dominant theme. Many of the design choices pay homage to traditional Catalan architecture and design, making this home more than just a comfortable place to stay. This residence is spread out over two wings, so it's ideal for a group of friends or extended family looking for some privacy. If you’re not satisfied with just seeing Casa Batlló from your window –  it’s just a two-minute saunter away. This apartment is right on Paseo De Gracia with its museums and designer boutiques galore, while lively Plaça Catalunya is under a ten-minute stroll. Or, visit one of Barcelona's most iconic attractions, the Sagrada Familia, just over a twenty-minute walk away.

Gaudi's Telescope

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

Located on one of the main veins of Barcelona’s sprawling network of streets – Avinguda Diagonal – this apartment has an air of importance. The local area is home to Gaudí masterpieces such as Casa Milà, an eleven-minute walk away, and this striking flat certainly does its best to compete. Starting in the living space, the exposed brickwork of the vaulted ceiling is sure to catch your eye. Colourful, oversized, abstract art adorns the walls, and art-deco-style furniture invites you in to settle down. All of this is illuminated by natural light flooding in from the glass doors of your private terrace, our favourite part of the home. Sip a glass of wine next to the olive tree while you gaze out to views of modernist buildings and blue skies. If you head back down to ground level, check out the main thoroughfare to find an array of vibrant bars and restaurants where you can spend the evening. As the Diagonal metro stop is only a six-minute walk from home, you’ll be able to explore other areas of the city too. Did someone say ‘beach day’?

Manzanilla

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

This location couldn't be better for a Barcelona getaway. The apartment is perched above the bustling Passeig de Gràcia, just a short stroll from shops, restaurants, and landmarks like Casa Batlló. You'll even enjoy Gaudí views of your own here – Casa Milà is right across the street, and you can admire the iconic architecture from the living room windows. We think this is an excellent option for friends and families – there's ample space for socialising in the lounge, the kitchen is well-equipped for whipping up tapas, and the main bedroom has a walk-in closet and sleek en-suite. In this central spot, street noise is to be expected, but we think it's worth it for the view.

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.
