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.
