Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Rainforest chic may not be two words you’ve ever associated with Barcelona, but when you walk through the door of this astonishing apartment, you’ll wonder why. Lush foliage provides the perfect contrast to high-design, with contemporary furniture, neon lights and plenty of architectural surprises (think floating stairs, wall ladders and mezzanine bedrooms). Take your morning coffee on the tropical terrace amongst banana trees and palms, before heading out into the city. Based in bohemian Gràcia, away from the main tourist area, there’s a wealth of independent boutiques, cafés and organic grocers to explore. Or take the short walk to the Sagrada Familia or Parc Guel for a slice of Gaudi’s unique fairy-tale vision. After a hard day of sightseeing, come back to your secret jungle for a siesta (you'll need it - Barcelona plays 'til late) and a couple of drinks before heading out for a tapas crawl and drinks at some of the city’s best bars.

About Gràcia
Gracia once was a separate town from Barcelona, and although that’s no longer the case, it still retains its unique feel. This cool neighbourhood is a maze of narrow streets and relaxed squares. Restaurants and cafes spill onto the pavements, buzzing with the hum of conversation. Creatives have made Gracia their home, and with that comes independent galleries, book shops and quirky shops. It seems fitting that this is the...
