Full of warm desert tones and an abundance of light, this stylish apartment in Barcelona’s elegant Gràcia neighbourhood puts you in an ideal position to experience the city’s vibrant art and history. We love the natural textures used in the home’s decor – from the wood floors to the woven rugs and the iron ornaments – not to mention the cacti and atmospheric art prints decking the walls. Kick back on the soft sofa with a glass of Spanish wine or open up the French doors to people-watch from the living area’s Juliet balconies. The bedroom is just as chic with its cut-out wall behind the bed and handy desk space, while the swoon-worthy bathroom is ready to get any day off to a relaxing start with its luxurious rainfall shower. What’s more, you’ve got access to the building’s communal roof terrace and pool – the ideal spot to while away sunny hours when you’re not out exploring the city’s sights. Speaking of sightseeing, you’ve got plenty to see and do within easy walking distance, not least of all Barcelona’s emblematic Sagrada Familia, an eighteen-minute walk away. Elsewhere, Gaudí’s Casa Milà is a twelve-minute walk, Casa Batlló is a twenty-minute stroll and Park Güell is twenty-two minutes away on foot.
