Hidden away in a beautiful square just a short walk from the beach, this beautifully curated apartment offers more than just a touch of Mediterranean magic. Awash with shades of blue and dazzling white, you’ll feel perfectly at ease in the bright living area, whether you’re kicking back on the sofa with a glass of Spanish red or gathering around the dining table for a celebratory meal. Our favourite feature here, however, is the sunny private balcony. The ideal spot for an alfresco breakfast or a sunset glass of Vermouth, you’ll love feeling the breeze tinged with salt from the nearby sea. With two beautiful beach-inspired bedrooms to boot – not to mention a pair of stunning tiled showers to wake up to each day – you’ve got everything you need for a carefree time. When it comes to exploring nearby, make a beeline for the beach (less than a ten-minute walk away) or stroll along lively Rambla del Poblenou to soak up your neighbourhood’s atmosphere. You’ve also got a wealth of restaurants, bakeries and bars to explore on your doorstep – many of which come personally recommended by your host – as well as plenty of cultural and historic sights in the wider city, easily accessed on foot or by public transport.

Local guide
About El Poblenou
El Poblenou is on the rise. Nested between the beach and the old town, it’s a fusion of old and new architecture, quickly becoming the technological heart of Barcelona. It’s a lot more tranquil than most parts of the city, but its list of attractions is growing fast. Scattered between buzzing shops that embrace its rough-luxe feel are some of the most loved and recommended eateries in the whole city. The closer you get to the beach, the more they turn into more traditional tapas restaurants and bars that let you mingle with the locals and travellers alike.
