Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Above the hustle and bustle of its Eixample neighbourhood, this home instantly makes you feel awash with a sense of calm thanks to its beautiful earthy palette and large windows filling each room with light. The living area is the ideal spot to relax and unwind with its feature wall of cubby shelving framing a TV, a tumble of vibrant ferns, a record player to get your groove on and – best of all – French doors that open onto a private balcony. We love this outdoor haven with its Acapulco chair and table inviting morning coffees and sunset drinks while taking in views over Barcelona’s busy avenues. Once you’ve had your caffeine fix on the terrace, head to the study to catch up on work at the desk or hang out for a while in the hammock while reading a good book. When you’re ready to explore, head for Casa Milà just fifteen minutes away on foot, or stay more local to discover Eixample’s grid of great restaurants, boutiques and bars. After a day of seeing the sights, come back home for a refreshing shower in the sleek bathrooms before sitting down for a meal at home. With the... master bedroom boasting its own private balcony too, enjoy a final nightcap in the balmy air before curling up in bed for a restful night’s sleep.
