Nestled in Eixample Esquerra, this impressive apartment takes its inspiration from the Saharan Desert and Catalonian traditions. Centrally located, you can spend the day gallery hopping, admiring the Sagrada Familia and discovering Gaudí’s brilliant works in Park Güell and Gaudí Experiència museum. As evening rolls around, find your new favourite tapas bar for dinner, then head to Enric Granados to experience Barcelona’s vibrant bar culture in full swing. With its Saharan desert-inspired aesthetic, this warm and sumptuous home might make you forget that you're in the city. Wake up in your retreat-like bedroom with its ivory-toned walls and terracotta-hued arch, then enjoy your morning coffee on the bedroom balcony. Refresh in your Catalonian-tiled, walk-in shower before firing off a couple of emails in the neutral and calm office. We love the kitchen-dining room that sets an alluring ambience for when you want to share an intimate dinner at home. We think you’ll want to end your nights on the second balcony where you can enjoy a glass of red and soak up the energy of the streets below.
