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.

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. Prepare some tapas in the sleek, grey kitchen and enjoy at the dining table or head to L'Eixample’s celebrated dining scene, just over a five-minute walk away. If the vistas from your apartment of Casa Milà have whetted your appetite to see some more, then it's a mere three-minute stroll. Or, browse the high-end boutiques in the area, then head to La Rambla de Sant Jose (also known as La Rambla de les Flors) and pick up some flowers. You'll undoubtedly be glad you picked this apartment.

We didn't expect to find a home like this in an unassuming building like the one that hides the Trojan Horse. It's obvious that an interior designer was involved in the curation of this stylish home — there's a consistent theme of industrial chic, that's best expressed by the bare brick wall and sleek lampshades. There's an abundance of natural light with two balconies extending the clutter-free and clean living space and helping this relatively small home maximise its assets. Find a sunny reading spot by the window on a Wegner-inspired chair and gather around the vibrant dining area for convivial coffee and churros – we loved the bright yellow chairs. Both bedrooms benefit from tasteful scatter cushions, throws and quirky headboards that make for a light and airy spot to relax with a magazine. From Gràcia, all the major sights are well within walking distance, including the Sagrada Familia under twenty minutes away. Explore the local neighbourhood, stopping off at its trendy cafes and family-run eateries – wherever you are, a jug of sangria and a plate of paella are never too far from hand.

Serious Moonlight 

Patio / Terrace

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

Pets Allowed

Pets

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.

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.

Nice to haves

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’?

Nestled in Gràcia, this contemporary apartment drops you into the heart of the action. Perfect for a family or group of friends, you’ll find everything needed for a comfortable stay here – just bear in mind with such an enviable location, there’s the potential for some street noise. For those in the city on business, you’ll find two dedicated workstations here, making remote working a breeze. But, the cherry on the cake for us is the sun-kissed terrace. It may be slightly overlooked, but it’s the perfect spot for sangria at the end of a busy day as the sun sets.

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.

When home is only a three-minute walk from Casa Milà, you can be quite sure that you’re living in the heart of Barcelona’s buzzing Eixample district. But how about if you can see directly across to its ornate rooftops from your own private terrace? The exclusive location of this apartment is only made better by its magnificent design and decor. Upon arrival at the majestic wooden door, you can tell that this historical building is full of charm. With a vintage wooden lift taking you up to the attic – better known as a penthouse in the 21st century – we love its old-fashioned character. Inside, the wooden theme continues with a striking piece of art in the lounge, but this time surrounded by modern interiors. The furnishings are minimalist, with neutral tones and white walls bringing a fresh vibe. However, this is all to make way for the apartment’s most exciting features – two terracotta terraces for alfresco drinking, dining, and admiring jaw-dropping views. If you do manage to make it back down to street level, Diagonal metro is a two-minute walk. But when you can see Gaudí’s masterpieces from home, you might want to stay put.

The Mahogany Azulejo

Paid Parking On Premises

With floor-to-ceiling windows that offer views of Barcelona's most rebellious architecture, the best thing this home offers is sightseeing from the comfort of your sofa. Both the furniture and art are a pleasant unobtrusive mix of the old and new, showing that the host knows how to fill a space with meaningful pieces without making it look cluttered. But we have to admit – although it's well-designed, the layout of this home is a bit peculiar, with the kitchen fashioned inside a corridor and a tempered glass bathroom separating the second and third bedroom. 

The Rosewood Azulejo

Fire Extinguisher

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. 


Branches of Time

Nestled in Barcelona's lively Gracia district, this apartment boasts a small balcony off the main bedroom with space to sit outside. We think it's a great choice for families as your host can provide a free cot and high chair, and there's a playground nearby. There's not a lot of space to park, but when it comes to exploring the attractions and coastline of Barcelona, you couldn't be more well-placed. Famous spots like the Sagrada Familia and Casa Batlló are within easy walking distance, and there are two metro lines a short walk from your doorstep.

Throws

Drawing inspiration from calming desert landscapes through its warm colour palette and eclectic blend of textures, this beautifully styled apartment in Gràcia is an ideal base for those looking to explore the city from a comfortable, central base. 

We love the earthy tones in the welcoming living area with its hanging chair, record player and boho throws. Best of all, however, is the access here to the incredible private terrace. Equipped with a shaded covering, as well as ample outdoor seating, this is where you’ll want to begin days over fresh coffee and pastries and end evenings with alfresco dinners and celebratory glasses of Sangria. 

Back inside, you can mix business with pleasure in the dedicated office area, while both bedrooms offer carefully curated retreats you’ll relish returning home to after a busy day of sightseeing.

Speaking of exploring, your Gràcia neighbourhood is teeming with pedestrian lanes packed with galleries, indie boutiques, wine bars and cool Catalan bistros, while many of Gaudí’s most notable masterpieces are within easy reach on foot.

Situated a stone's throw from Passeig de Gràcia, this home is at the heart of the action. You'll find it on Gran de Gracia, nestled between Gracia and Eixample. Here, you're surrounded by an array of upmarket boutiques, bars and eateries, while Gaudi's masterpieces, Casa Milà and La Pedrera, are a ten-minute stroll away. Though being a six-minute walk from two metro stops, the city really is yours for the taking.

We love this home's elegant design aesthetic. Inside, it's a timeless canvas of high ceilings and wooden floors adorned with regal touches, from the stained glass windows to the glistening glass chandelier. The open-plan living area offers the perfect place for relaxation, including a cosy l-shaped sofa and a sweet balcony with picturesque views. After a restful slumber in the lavish bedrooms, start your days roosted here, sipping your morning coffee and soaking up the sun. After busy days exploring the city, gather around the dining table for a delicious feast prepared in the fully-equipped kitchen before slipping out for a walk at sunset.

The Golden Globes

Known for its village-like atmosphere and charming streets, Gràcia is perfect for travellers looking to explore an authentic part of Barcelona. Dreamboat actually used to be a hostel, which explains why every bedroom has its own en-suite and cosy nooks. The building is beautiful, with features from the nineteenth-century, and a gorgeous terrace engulfed in greenery. The kitchen isn’t made for cooking (it’s lacking basic appliances like an oven and equipment), but why not use this as a chance to explore some of the local restaurants in the area? 

Dreamboat

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.

Earth Day

Nestled in Gràcia, this apartment may not be the biggest and the views aren’t the most inspiring with neighbouring homes to look at, but it’s well-equipped and comfortable for a city break – and the desk is an added bonus, making remote working a breeze. Its enviable location makes it a great spot for sightseeing, or you can stroll the streets and find boutiques, cafes, wine bars and restaurants. For an afternoon soaking up the Spanish sun with the locals, take a trip to Plaça de Sol. 

Salut Squared

Paid Parking

Situated on Roger de Llúria street, this refurbished apartment is close to a variety of attractions. There are several eateries close by, while Passeig de Gràcia, one of the city’s most important shopping and business areas is nearby. You’ll also find key attractions such as Casa Milà and Plaça Catalunya within walking distance of this home. Back at this elegant apartment, multiple windows illuminate the living space. There's a handy office area too, if you're here for work. And with three bathrooms for four guests – there’s unlikely to be a queue for the bathroom.

Garciño

With vaulted ceilings and azulejo-tiled floors, the Wind Vault is a perfect stay for those who will appreciate touches of Catalan design. But there's more to this home than just tradition – the headboard in the master bedroom is made of upcycled windows and we can't ignore the beautifully crafted French doors either. Located in the residential streets of Gràcia, you'll get to enjoy authentic Catalan flavours with easy access to the Casa Mila and Eixample's grandeur. 

Wind Vault

With Gaudí masterpieces peeping around corners and lining elegant boulevards, Gràcia is one of the most striking neighbourhoods of Barcelona. Not only is the architecture second to none, but its vibrant atmosphere is sure to charm you. After a glass of Catalan wine in a trendy bar, take a stroll past Casa Milà en route back to your apartment, just twelve minutes away.

Despite urban surroundings, this home takes you on a journey back to nature. We love the use of wood, wicker, and woven elements throughout. The earthy tones and organic textures create a sense of calm, which you can enhance even further with some ambient tunes on the record player. While leafy, potted plants complete the natural look, the modern kitchen offers a sleek station for preparing a bowl of olives alongside ‘pa amb tomàquet’.

After nibbles on the balconette (or up on the residents’ roof terrace), step through to the bedroom. The arched feature wall makes the room feel more like a riad than a Barcelona flat, with wall lights and candles adding to the vibe. Relax in this inspiring environment and pen some poetry at the writers’ desk – perhaps an ode to this muse-like home?

Well Versed

Cafetiere

Located in Barcelona’s elegant Gràcia neighbourhood – where 19th-century boulevards carry the promise of indie boutiques, galleries, cool Catalan bistros and wine bars  – this bright, chicly bohemian home puts you in a prime spot to explore the city’s most iconic sights.
 
Dressed in sophisticated notes of cream and off-white and decked out in a medley of natural textures and materials, the bright living space is an inviting, relaxing space. Ample natural light pours in through the glass doors that slide open to reveal a large private terrace. 

You’ll immediately be wowed by the draped pergola that looks like it’s been taken straight from the beaches of Bali. Sit here under the shade with a cool drink and a good book or make yourself comfortable on one of the sun loungers to catch some rays. There’s a table here too for alfresco dining, courtesy of the sleek kitchen that’s ready to whip up a homemade tapas feast. What's more, you've got access to the building's shared pool – the ideal spot to while away a few blissful hours when you're not out exploring the city. 
 
With two beautifully dressed bedrooms – one of which has a desk space – that lead out onto the terrace too, there’s no need to wait before soaking up the sun. 
 
When it comes to sightseeing nearby, you’re spoilt for choice with the Sagrada Família an eighteen-minute walk away, Casa Milà a twelve-minute stroll and Park Güell just over twenty minutes away on foot. 


A Graceful Touch

Parking On Premises

Located in the desirable neighbourhood of Gràcia, when you stay at this home, you’ll be a short walk from Passeig de Gràcia, one of the city’s most important shopping and commercial areas. Also within walking distance, there’s the iconic Casa Milà to admire. Or relax on a lounger in the sun on this home’s terrace. There’s an awning here to give you some shade when the Barcelona sun gets too hot, as well. If you’re here on business or you just need to catch up on work, there’s an office space on the mezzanine level too.

The Silver Slipper

Whether you’re in Barcelona for business or leisure, make it a stylish stay with this apartment. It’s a short stroll from Passeig de Gràcia – one of Barcelona’s main boulevards lined with luxury shops, cafes and the striking architecture of Gaudi. Yet, it’s on a quiet street for such a central location. Enjoy the peace in the open living room, or at the dining table big enough for six. As well as a full kitchen, this place has a separate office room ideal for those working remotely with room for two at the desk.

Scenes of Sipping Wine

You’ll find this attractive penthouse apartment in the heart of Barcelona. It’s a short walk from Cala Mila and there’s no shortage of bars and restaurants nearby. Fontana metro station is close too, so you can easily get around the city. The apartment itself is modern and sleek, a stylish base for four. Best of all, it has a beautiful terrace equipped with sun loungers and a dining table. Admire Tibidabo Mountain views while sipping sunset cocktails – what more could you ask for? 

Dream of Sunshine

This minimally furnished home is perfect for those who like their space. Dancing Shoes is impeccable, sleek, and boasts enviable great urban views over Eixample – seeing the postcards sights of Barcelona will be effortless from your base on Avinguda Diagonal. Although this home doesn't have a lot of characterful furniture, we still liked the high ceilings and the abundance of natural light. 

Dancing Shoes

In the vibrant Eixample district of Barcelona, just two minutes from the Diagonal metro, this apartment is a luxurious escape right in the heart of this bustling metropolis. As you step into the marble-clad, tiled corridor with stained glass windows, this elegant entrance already tells you a lot about this home. The beautiful tiles continue right into the flat, with original hydraulic mosaic flooring in grey, black, and a warming terracotta. While the furniture is understated throughout, it creates a very comfortable, minimalist vibe which is a pleasant contrast from the busy neighbourhood outside. You can peer out to this kingdom with ease, with not one but two private balconies to choose from. While either one is a perfect spot to enjoy a cold glass of vino blanco, we absolutely love the terrace with views of Gaudí’s Casa Milà – a truly iconic sight of Barcelona. Your private view of its striking, wavy rooftop is a real privilege of staying in this home. You even can visit it up close, just a three-minute walk away. Or continue on a tour of Antonio’s famous buildings with an eighteen-minute stroll to the awe-inspiring Sagrada Familia.

The Sand Azulejo

Say hello to your private roof terrace in Barcelona. With loungers and a patio set, it’s ideal for savouring morning coffee and sipping sundowners. You’ll have a beautiful view of Eixample, a neighbourhood full of Gaudi’s masterpieces – Casa Milà is just around the corner, a three-minute walk away, while Casa Batlló is eight minutes away. Plus, you can be at La Sagrada Familia, his unfinished masterpiece, in just seventeen minutes. Beyond the modernist architecture, you’ll find delicious tapas bars and boutique shopping. Back at home, a minimalist Scandi style works well to create a relaxing environment above the busy streets. Neutral colours and high-quality materials emphasize texture, but there are still a few details that remind us that we're situated in an old modernist building – such as the tempered glass above the sofa. Kick back and make use of the large TV and kitchen – after a day on your feet, it feels good to call this place home. 

The Walnut Azulejo

From its terracotta ceilings to its wood floors, huge windows and mid-century modern furniture, this luxuriously stylish penthouse apartment would give any five-star hotel a run for its money. Located between Barcelona’s Eixample and Vila de Gràcia neighbourhoods, it has everything you could hope for in a chic city pad. Climb the few steps in the bright living room to step out onto your very own rooftop terrace, decked out in sun loungers to catch those Spanish rays and a table inviting alfresco breakfasts or celebratory sundowners. This large outdoor haven gives way to panoramic views over the city, as well as the building’s magnificent domed tower. While you could spend all day here basking in the privacy of your rooftop space, we suggest you explore the communal rooftop area, too, where a long glistening pool awaits, framed by a parade of deck chairs. Elsewhere in the building, there’s a shared gym, perfect for starting mornings off with a workout before cooling off in the pool or setting out for a day of sightseeing. Speaking of exploring, La Sagrada Familia is a twenty-minute walk away, while Passeig de Gràcia and Gaudí’s remarkable Casa Milà are just an eight-minute stroll from your door. With a pillow catalogue on arrival and your host providing a 24/7 concierge that can arrange at-home massages, private chefs, tickets to the city’s events and more, there’s no end to the blissful relaxation in store. 


The Epicurean Sun

This chic apartment is the perfect place to stay for a jaunt to Barcelona. It’s in the vibrant neighbourhood of Gracia, which is a food- and fashion-lover’s dream location – everywhere you turn there’s a cool new eatery or a designer boutique. 

The apartment has beachy vibes and an Indonesian aesthetic, so it’s relaxing and laid-back – but you still have everything you need for a fantastic break. After a day of seeing the sights or soaking up the sunshine on the beach, it feels like returning to an oasis. There’s even a rooftop pool and solarium – this place has it all. 

Head out first thing and grab a coffee to set you up for the day. You’re conveniently close to everything, but you’ll still want to stop and refuel every now and then – happily, eating and drinking your way around the city is one of our favourite ways to get to know a place, and Barcelona was made for it. 

Coffee in hand, walk eleven minutes to Casa Mila to admire Gaudi’s brilliance. His handiwork is evident throughout the city, but this is our favourite way to take it in. Maybe pop into a couple of shops nearby, or meander to La Sagrada Familia. Easily one of the most beautiful sights in the city, it’s a mere seventeen minutes on foot from the apartment. 

After a lengthy lunch of tapas and wine, hop in a cab for twenty-one minutes to reach Barceloneta Beach. Soothe your aching feet in the refreshingly cool water and lie in the sun, soaking up vitamin C. 


Beach Vibes & City Strides

This lovely apartment situated in the heart of the historic Gràcia district is a perfect place for a family or a group of friends visiting Barcelona and hoping to make the most of all the city has to offer, while also enjoying the comfort and luxury of a stylish and centrally located pad. 

We love the lush, jungle-inspired aesthetic of this place, which deftly combines the traditional architectural elements with modern décor and unique pieces scattered throughout. Settle in for a cosy evening of Netflix and Spanish wine or gather around the dining table to enjoy a delicious supper you’ll be able to put together with ease in the well-equipped kitchen. 

Should you have some laptop duties to tend to during your stay, you’ll be delighted to find the cosy office space specially designed for remote work. Factor in the plush bedrooms and the sleek bathrooms, and the picture-perfect apartment is complete and waiting to welcome you.
 
Outside you’ll find yourself surrounded by awe-inspiring architecture, vibrant bars and cafes, art galleries and elegant boutiques, with the Sagrada Familia just a short walk away. 

Underneath My Architecture 

Something of a slow-burner, Oliana grows on you the longer you stay. There’s enough to remind you that you’re in Barcelona – the brick ceiling, in particular, keeps you anchored in the city, as does the view of Tibidado. It’s not especially lavish, but there’s something genuine about it, and that also extends to the surrounding area. There are still tourists about (this is Barcelona, after all), but not in the droves you might get in other neighbourhoods.


Oliana

In the elegant Vila de Gràcia barrio, you’re in for a treat if you’re looking for a more realistic experience of Barcelona living. Just over 3 km away from the bustling tourists in the Gothic Quarter, this region is full of restaurants, theatres, cinemas, independent boutiques, and of course some Gaudí charm. This apartment is just a four-minute walk from Casa Vicens, a striking example of one of the architect’s earlier works. But unlike this building and its surroundings, this home feels more like a Japanese mountain retreat. Step inside to wood-panelled walls and fabrics, woven feature pieces, and a mural of swallows and bamboo bringing a zen-like state to the apartment. While there’s still a taste of traditional Catalan elements, such as patterned tiles on the floor, and a classic wrought-iron balconette, the decor simply oozes Japan. In the serene bedroom, keep your head down at the workspace, then step into the lounge when the clock hits 5 pm to turn up the record player and sip chilled cava. For a weekend escape from this peaceful palace, it’s just an eighteen-minute walk to the colourful, awe-inspiring mosaics of Park Güell – quite the contrast.

Norimaki

This minimal apartment in Gràcia is an ideal choice for those who want to spend their time exploring Barcelona’s sights. Conveniently, Casa Vicens Gaudí and an array of boutiques and tapas bars are on your doorstep, while Fontana metro station is a short walk away. As soon as you arrive, you’ll be greeted by a bright open-plan living space and a balcony – even if the views won’t leave you starstruck, it’s still a lovely spot for a sundowner. There’s a desk for remote working, and once you’ve signed off for the day, enjoy dinner and a vinyl courtesy of the record player.

Living La Vida Loca

Tucked away in the Gràcia district of Barcelona, this apartment is just the ticket for families and friends alike. It’s worth noting that one bedroom is internal, but as long as you don’t mind the lack of natural light, it has everything needed for a comfortable night’s rest. But the cherry on the cake for us here is the outdoor space. For a city apartment, the terrace space is generous with areas for dining or relaxing on sofas – just the spot for soaking up the Spanish sun. 

Gothic Tranquillity

Situated in the historic Gracia district, this stylish and comfortable apartment is an ideal base for a family or a group of friends wanting to experience all the wonders of Barcelona, while at the same time having a luxurious pad to return to after a day of exploring. 

The home exudes warmth, thanks to the carefully selected furnishings, a unique jungle-inspired décor and streams of natural light that flood in through the large windows. We love the green and gold accents and the bohemian wood, all of which create an instantly welcoming ambience. Kick back and relax on the plush sofa, with an evening of Netflix and wine. If you feel like rustling up a quick and delicious supper, the well-equipped kitchen has you covered, and you’ll be able to savour your meal inside or out on the balcony, where green trees line the elegant boulevard. 

Should you need to catch up on some laptop duties during your stay, you’ll be delighted to find a cosy office space with a dedicated desk and chair. For a night of restful sleep head over to the plush bedrooms – wake up bright-eyed and ready for another day of city adventures. 

Outside your home you’ll find yourself surrounded by architectural gems, stylish boutiques, great bars and restaurants, and you’ll also be within walking distance from the iconic Sagrada Familia.  

Candle's Glow

If you're searching for the perfect home away from home in Barcelona, then this apartment could be the one for you. It's a tranquil sanctuary ready to transport you away from the hustle and bustle of the city – whether you're travelling for work or fun, you'll settle in within no time at all. 

Open the front door, and you'll feel instantly at ease in this serene space, full of natural textures and earthy tones. Pad across the charming patterned tiles to get comfortable on the sofa, and sip a glass of Rioja as you plan your itinerary. Budding chefs can get busy in the kitchen and whip up their favourite dishes in the kitchen to serve in the chic dining space. And, if you need to work remotely while you're visiting, there is a dedicated workspace where you can catch up on emails. 

The surrounding Gràcia area is a laid-back neighbourhood where you can immerse yourself in the Madrid lifestyle. Visit the independent boutiques for some retail therapy, then taste some tapas in one of the local bars. And, if you want to travel further afield, then take the five-minute walk to Gràcia station – the metro can take you into the Gothic Quarter and the waterfront within fifteen minutes. 

State of Peace

If your holidays revolve around culture, boutiques, art, and cuisine, then Gràcia might be the region for you. As you browse the offerings of this sophisticated neighbourhood, passing Gaudí masterpieces at every turn, it only feels natural to stop in at a wine bar or designer store. And with the elegant boulevard of Passeig de Gràcia just a ten-minute walk from home, you won’t need to carry your shopping bags too far.

This apartment might be located in Catalonia’s most famous city, but global influence is a huge part of the design. Taking inspiration from Indonesia, Scandinavia, and Japan, the furniture and decor marry together diverse elements in a stylish way. From handcrafted cloth wall hangings, to the clean lines of a modern sofa, to the shoji partition, this intriguing display of texture and colour creates a unique home for work and relaxation.

With light flooding in from multiple French doors (leading to a cosy balconette, of course), this bright lounge is a fabulous spot for reading your novel or popping a tune on the record player. Or if you’d prefer a more active end to the day, there’s always the residents’ swimming pool.
