Located on one of the main veins of Gràcia’s network of elegant streets, this apartment has every reason to be so tasteful. While this vibrant barrio is awash with boutiques, restaurants, and bars, you’re sure to find serenity in this home. Right from the offset, there’s a natural and organic feel from the striking, handmade, wooden feature wall in the living space. Accompanied by an olive-green colour scheme, fresh plants, and tree-lined views coming in from the huge windows, the apartment feels incredibly earthy and relaxed. While there are modern accents such as industrial-style hanging lamps, and sleek stools at the breakfast bar, the vintage touches reign supreme. We love the old-school cool vibe from the record player, along with wicker baskets, woven throws, and an antique-style dining set. This effortless balance of modern elegance and traditional comfort is what makes it special. We can’t think of anything better than perching on the ornate, wrought-iron balcony and sipping wine as the sun sets over Gràcia. Unless of course you’re a Gaudí fan, in which case an easy twelve-minute stroll to Casa Milà will make your day.

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...
