Located only two minutes from the entrance to Sagrada Familia, Basil Alcove is a bright and modern retreat. Furnished with a love for high-quality materials and minimalism, this home will best suit adventurous couples who prioritise natural light and location, both of which are excellent. There's also step-free access and we can attest to the confines of the designer sofa – divine. The kitchen is on the simpler side, (only two hobs and no oven) but if you don't plan on cooking elaborate meals, then you'll have a brilliant time in this home.

Local guide
About Sagrada Família
La Sagrada Família is the neighbourhood immediately surrounding Barcelona’s greatest and largest attraction - the Sagrada Família. As Gaudí’s opus magnum, the architectural behemoth has been in construction for over a century, and some say asking when will it be finished is the easiest way to anger a local. The immediate vicinity of the cathedral is always busy, but the rest of the area is upscale and residential, making it quieter than one would expect. The vast avenues are home to a variety of cafes, shops, and beautifully designed parks.

Marvel at the Sagrada Familia
One of the most complex architectural wonders of the modern age. Some love it, some hate it, but all admit that this is one ambitious church. Also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Grab some Spanish tacos at La Taqueria
This bright, laid-back restaurant is a great spot for a quick and delicious bite to eat. We hear their margaritas are pretty good too!
Brunch, vermouth or lunch at Cafe Adonis 1940
A place with equal parts soul and charm, Cafe Adonis has been open for more than seven decades. It has two levels and an outdoor terrace to enjoy meals at all times of the day.
Get ready to brunch at Bristol Café
