Slide back the glass doors in the living room and step onto a terrace prime for sundowners – if that's not Barcelona at its best, we don't know what is. The serene decor keeps the mood bright and sun-kissed, and a dining area that seats eight makes this a natural choice for groups. Two of the three bedrooms come with dedicated desks, so it works just as well as a basecamp for digital nomads as it does for a holiday. Sant Gervasi - Galvany is one of Barcelona's more elegant residential pockets, and it is on your doorstep, with tree-lined streets, Parc del Turó, and Francesc Macià station close at hand.

Home truths
The apartment sits in a predominantly residential neighbourhood – a good base if you want to step back from the busier tourist areas, though you'll want to factor in a short journey into the city centre for nightlife and major sights.
The terrace is on the smaller side. It's well-suited to morning coffee or an evening drink for two rather than alfresco dining for a larger group.
This home can't be rented for business travel.
