Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This gem in Barcelona’s vibrant Eixample neighbourhood is perfect for a group of friends or family. This free-flowing space is great for hosting and socialising – spend days with your cohort on the terrace, sharing tapas dinners and sipping pitchers of sangria. Catch up on work from the sunroom, spin vinyl on the record player, and then head to the stylish bedrooms to wind down – please note the small double in the third bedroom is probably better suited to one adult. Passeig de Gràcia’s boutiques offer the perfect excuse for some sartorial browsing, and if you're hoping to see Gaudi’s famous works, you can stop off at Casa Batlló and Casa Milà along the way.
