Sitting in Vila de Gràcia, this stylish apartment is just a short walk away from some of the finest sights in Barcelona. See the world-famous Sagrada Familia – Gaudí's unfinished church – or hop on the bus and go up to Park Güell, where the Gaudí Experiència museum will educate you all about the iconic artist. Of course, you could always have an afternoon siesta on Barceloneta Beach or find your new favourite tapas bar for dinner. With its desert-inspired design, this contemporary home might make you forget that you're in the city. Wake up in a textural bedroom and freshen up beneath a rain shower, then check over your emails in the elegant office. We think that this handsome kitchen-diner is a perfect spot to start your day, before heading out into the streets to sightsee. At night, you will want to return to the inviting living room, where you can relax and play records or unwind with Netflix.
