With playful patterns and carefully curated artwork, this home is full of fun. Eco-design is more than a catchphrase here. Your hosts have used simple design principles and natural materials to create a warm and earthy look while remaining faithful to opulent Catalan Modernism. Your hosts have committed to using recycled luxury materials. However, when that's not been possible, they've made sure only to use recyclable ones, making this city-centre apartment a fantastic choice for the eco-conscious traveller. Located on the border of Barcelona's El Born and Eixample districts, you couldn't be better placed to explore the Catalan capital. The majestic Arc de Triomf is just a four-minute walk away, while the 15th-century cathedral is no more than ten minutes away on foot. So after pounding the pavement, why not head to the iconic Barceloneta beach, where you can soak up some sun and frolic in the surf.

About Eixample
Eixample is overflowing with greenery – trees line the quiet streets and you're never far away from a square to relax in. It's home to many beautiful apartment blocks sitting above restaurants and bars filled with locals enjoying summer evenings.

Pay a visit to the Arco de Triunfo
This arch was built as the main access point during the 1888 Barcelona World Fair and has remained a popular tourist attraction ever since.
Get a taste of the high life at the Cotton House Hotel
A colonial-style hotel in central Barcelona with a fabulous rooftop terrace. Escape the busy streets and come up for a drink or three.
Get your Paella fix at Santa Anna
A lot of restaurants claim they serve the best paella in the world, but many say that Santa Anna is the real deal when it comes to this claim. Taste for yourself!
Take some time off at Aire Ancient Baths
In the heart of Barcelona, there's a place where time stands still. This luxurious spa in a converted warehouse offers an unforgettable, almost surreal experience for the mind, body, and soul.
Check out the Picasso Museum
This collection of Picasso's work showcases some of his lesser-known, more intimate works. It also has excellent temporary exhibitions.
Have a serious brunch at El Árbol
El Árbol is the ultimate place for a proper brunch. Avocado toast, orange juice, great coffee, smoothies, omelettes - take your pick.
Wander through Santa Catarina Market
This local favourite has been completely renovated with a majestic roof a la Gaudí. Aside from delicious fresh produce, there are several tapas stalls to stop by.
Go for a boat ride at Parc de la Ciutadela
This is probably the greenest oasis in all of Barcelona. Created as the city's first public park in the mid 19th Century, it's a lovely place to while away an afternoon.
Have a sophisticated evening at Gran Teatre del Liceu
This truly stunning opera house opened its doors way back in 1847. And, with such a breathtaking interior and a world-class programme, it's no surprise that it's still going strong today.
