Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
In the bustling area of Dreta de l'Eixample, surrounded by kerbside cafés and trendy boutiques, you’re never short of local sights and exquisite architecture. With two of Gaudí’s masterpieces – Casa Milà and Casa Batlló – within twenty minutes on foot, this apartment is certainly in the middle of it all. To match the elegant area, the interiors are superbly classy. Marble flooring features throughout, as well as an upright piano, corniced ceilings, and French windows letting Catalan sun stream into the lounge. While these traditional aspects bring character, you’ve also got modern touches such as ghost-style dining chairs and a sleek, white kitchen. But our favourite feature has to be the terrace. Get comfortable on the wicker armchairs as you wait for the barbecue to warm up. Alfresco dining is most definitely on the menu, as well as a bottle of tempranillo while you watch the sunset. From up here, you can look at perfectly-kept neighbouring gardens, as well as panoramic views of other beautiful buildings. If you ever feel the need to head back to street level, take a four-minute walk to Urquinaona metro and explore the entire city.
