Spread across two floors, this luxurious duplex apartment is the perfect spot for a group of friends or family looking to explore Barcelona with their own comfortable space to retreat to at the end of the day. This spot is made for the type of traveller who prefers the quieter city streets and proximity to the beach over the buzz of Barcelona's epicentre by Eixample. With rare views of Barcelona's vibrant cityscape, relax on the balcony with a cold drink in hand from your very own little corner of quiet. Minimalist designs inside the penthouse offer a cosy aesthetic and tranquil space to unwind in after a long day in the city. The bi-folding doors open up to let in a warm breeze, and plenty of daylight floods inside from morning through to evening. Watch the sunset over the city before heading out for the evening to discover one of the many delicious local Catalan restaurants within walking distance. Since the beach is just a twenty-minute stroll away, you'll most likely want to spend much of your time down by the sea, but with convenient transportation links – you can get just about anywhere in the city from here in under forty-five minutes.

Local guide
About El Poblenou
El Poblenou is on the rise. Nested between the beach and the old town, it’s a fusion of old and new architecture, quickly becoming the technological heart of Barcelona. It’s a lot more tranquil than most parts of the city, but its list of attractions is growing fast. Scattered between buzzing shops that embrace its rough-luxe feel are some of the most loved and recommended eateries in the whole city. The closer you get to the beach, the more they turn into more traditional tapas restaurants and bars that let you mingle with the locals and travellers alike.
