Let's kick off with the location first with this home – it's fantastic. The apartment is within walking distance of Plaça de Catalunya and the Arc de Triomf, as well as all the restaurants and bars of Eixample. Culture lovers, on the other hand, can visit the nearby Picasso Museum and the Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art. The apartment itself has a Juliet-style balcony with views over the La Rambla de Catalunya. We should point out that if you're a group of four, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the already compact living room. But that's probably a small price to pay for such a great address.

With a fantastic position in the middle of Eixample, this apartment puts you close to many of Barcelona's most famous sights. Even if you plan to spend most of your time exploring the city's streets, you'll be happy to return to this stylish home at the end of the day.

High ceilings and tall windows mean that the interior feels bright and airy, but there's also a Juliet balcony if you want to feel the breeze on your face at any point. There's a lot to like about the design too, with wooden furnishings and surfaces going nicely with the cool grey tiles and eclectic selection of objets d'art. We're fans of the exposed brickwork in the master bedroom, which adds a loft feel to the space, as well as the pristine subway tiling in the bathrooms.

When it comes to sightseeing, the place to start has to be Casa Milà, which lies five minutes' walk from the home. One of Gaudí's other famous creations, La Sagrada Familia, can be reached in twenty-five minutes on foot, too. The Gothic Quarter takes a similar amount of time in another direction.

A Shining Example

Black-Out Blinds

This stylish city centre home is perfectly nestled within short walking distance of some of Barcelona's best-loved sights and sounds. The ideal spot for tourists with a busy itinerary, this place has a luxury feel that's softened by a selection of beloved home comforts. From the super soft bed linen to the fully-equipped kitchen and lavish roll top bath, if you're hoping to experience Barcelona at its finest, take it from us, this spacious apartment is where you need to be.

With beautiful decor throughout, sensational city views and a selection of shops, cafes, restaurants and bars all less than a stone's throw away, this place really does have it all. 

Immerse yourself in Barcelona's rich cultural history as you visit the city's famed Casa Batlló. Proudly sat just a one-minute stroll from your new home from home, this must-see structure was designed by Antoni Gaudí in 1904 and has since become one of the city's most iconic landmarks.

Just a further four-minutes away, you can find yet another of Gaudi's masterpieces - La Pedrera. Here you can take some snap shots and soak up Barcelona's spectacular sights before heading to the city's most famous shopping mall, El Corte Inglés, for a much-needed spot of retail therapy.

As well as Gaudí’s influential and iconic buildings, the Eixample region has wide boulevards with excellent shopping, kerbside cafés, and charming restaurants to keep you busy. When you’re staying here, it’s far too easy to run into striking architecture at every turn. And at just an eight-minute walk from shimmering Casa Batlló, this home makes it even easier.

Arriving at its yellow entrance, this standout block is built in a traditional, Spanish Colonial style. This old-world grandeur continues through the front door, in majestic hardwood, with a solid marble staircase leading up to your apartment – but the interiors are a pleasant contrast.

Pout yourself a tempranillo and take a wander around this modern, Scandi-style home. Huge windows lined with railings along a balconette are perfect for peering over with your wine glass in hand. The zen-like lounge offers somewhere understated and calming for you to relax in after exploring the bustling locale. A sleek, matte grey kitchen tops it all off – a lovely little spot where you can prepare ‘pa amb tomàquet’ and a bowl of juicy Spanish olives.

What a fabulous location this stylish apartment has in Barcelona – Gaudí's masterpiece Casa Batlló is a mere three-minute stroll away. If designer shopping is more your bag, then Paseo De Gracia is a six-minute saunter with its boutiques such as Gucci, Chanel and Versace. Lively Plaza Catalunya and Las Ramblas are both a ten-minute walk or another of Gaudí's iconic landmarks, the Sagrada Familia is just over twenty minutes on foot.

This home is housed in a grand period building. We love the open plan living space with its high ceilings, exposed brick walls and stunning steel, open-tread staircase – this place has a cool, warehouse vibe. Elsewhere in the apartment, you’ll find traditional features such as barrel-vaulted ceilings and Spanish tiles. Open the French doors onto the balcony with its views over the neighbourhood, whip up a fideuà in the modern kitchen and enjoy a Catalan feast at your dining table. This apartment is perfect for a group of friends, a family or professionals on business in this vibrant city.

Live like a local in this smart Barcelona apartment, located in the vibrant Eixample district. You'll love getting comfortable in the bright living room, perhaps opening a bottle of Spanish red wine, and planning your stay in the city. When you get hungry, you can whip up your favourite meal in the kitchen, before gathering around the chic glass table to enjoy your culinary creations – there are even a few flamingoes on the wall for company. However, we think the best part of this contemporary home has to be the balcony, a fantastic spot for people-watching and chilling out at all times of day. The surrounding area is famous for its modernist architecture, and you'll love wandering through the streets, dipping into local boutiques and cafés as you go. The breathtaking Parc Joan Miró is just a ten-minute walk away, where you'll find plenty of open space, while the Plaça d'Espanya is just a little further. And, with the nearest metro station just one block away, it's very straightforward to get around the city from here, should you want to travel further afield.

You can feel the city’s eclectic energy from the private balcony, which is a prime spot to revitalise after a day of perusing the Paseo de Gracia and Rambla Catalunya, a stone’s throw from your apartment.

Combining influences of the Saharan Desert with Catalonian concepts, this space exudes elegance with its magnetic ambience and a rich yet muted colour scheme. Sip your morning coffee on the balcony, overlooking the buzzy streets below, before stepping out to soak up Gaudi’s architectural masterpieces – take a short stroll over to visit Casa Batlló and Casa Milà, then hop on the metro to see the impressive Sagrada Familia. If you’re not dining in one of the city’s eclectic tapas bars, enjoy a mood-lit dinner in your mid-century-style dining room before spinning a record and clinking glasses of orange wine in the slick living room. 

Black Sands Ivory Skies

Located in the trendy Eixample neighbourhood, on the arterial Passeig de Gràcia, this apartment has Barcelona’s best bits within easy reach. Gaudi's La Sagrada Família is no more than a twenty-minute walk away and you’re practically neighbours with Casa Milà and Casa Batlló. Saunter into the Gothic Quarter for charming medieval streets and authentic tapas bars or jump on the bus and make haste to the coast – Barceloneta Beach is only twenty minutes away. 

Inside the home, it’s modern and functional with everything you need to settle into city living. Put together quick meals in the kitchenette and dine in front of the large Juliette balcony doors. If a siesta is on the cards, quiet bedrooms guarantee a peaceful snooze. After busy afternoons spent exploring, curl up on the sofa with a glass of Rioja and reflect on the day’s events.

The location of this elegant home couldn't be better – it's surrounded by shops, popular restaurants, and world-famous sights, but tucked away in a quiet side street in the middle of Passeig de Gràcia. Even though the balcony faces the street, the well-placed shutters keep it private and give the communal areas a touch of industrial design. Taffy teal is all about comfort and will help you relax in with luxurious soft furnishings, excellent appliances, and a marble bath.

Located on Rambla Catalunya – Barcelona’s main shopping street – this apartment puts you in a prime position to explore the city’s many central bars, restaurants and boutiques. Given its spot in the heart of the action, you may need to contend with some street noise throughout your stay. But there’s plenty to appreciate inside, not least of all the pad’s private terrace – perfect for sunny breakfasts and evening glasses of wine. The decor isn’t the most inspiring here but a sizeable kitchen will be appreciated by chefs of the group. And the home’s locale close to Casa Batlló, Casa Milà and Plaça de Catalunya makes sightseeing a cinch.

If we could choose one street out of the thousands in Barcelona to lay our hats for a stay in the city, it would always be the leafy, pedestrianised Carrer d'Enric Granado of the L'Eixample district. And luckily for you, it's the setting of this oh-so-elegant apartment. Brimming with highly-brunchable cafes, ice-cream parlours, and galleries and within walking distance of the city's must-see sights, you couldn't dream up a better location. 

Inside, vaulted ceilings dating way back to the 1800s bring all the wow factor – while a glorious mishmash of heirloom-worthy antiques and curated artwork add layers of interest and authenticity. Guests rave about the careful attention to detail here and we couldn't agree more. There's a dedicated desk area to keep on top of emails, a slick kitchen, and two fully modernised bathrooms, complete with rainfall showers to kick start your day.

But the clincher for us has to be that lavish living room with panoramic views of the city from the Juliette balcony. Grab yourself a freshly brewed coffee and peer out over the balcony to watch city life awaken below along its leafy avenue – it's everything you imagined it would be.

Enrique's Place

Serene and centred, this modern apartment places you in the heart of bustling Dreta de l’Eixample. Here, you'll be within easy walking distance of both Casa Milà and the Cathedral of Barcelona, with the tapas bars, authentic restaurants and stylish shops surrounding the Plaça de Catalunya, just a short stroll away. Inside, there's the addition of two desks for those wanting to catch up on work during their stay. The kitchen isn’t the biggest, but it has all you need to rustle up a tasty meal after a busy day – to be enjoyed out on the private terrace. 

Lemons On A Cloud

This stylish apartment, housed in a grand period building, has a fantastic address. Gaudí's masterpiece Casa Batlló is a three-minute saunter, while it's a six-minute stroll to Paseo De Gracia with its museums and designer boutiques galore (Gucci, Chanel and Versace, amongst many others). Plaza Catalunya and Las Ramblas, on the other hand, are a ten-minute walk away or visit one of Barcelona's most iconic attractions, the Sagrada Familia, just over twenty minutes on foot.

Back at this home, open the French doors to the balcony and have a seat on the comfy sofa after all that sightseeing. We love the high ceilings here and traditional wall mouldings. There's a gorgeous, modern four-poster bed as well – this place is perfect for a couple or friends looking for a bolt hole in Barcelona.


Modern Romance

Balcony / Patio

We love the way the sunshine streams into this smart, modern home on the corner of one of Barcelona's most exclusive streets. Set in a typical period building, but with clean, contemporary styling, it's a fabulous choice if you want to be at the very heart of this bustling city. The spacious, open-layout living room has views of Carrer de la Diputació and the Rambla de Catalunya, and it's just steps from some of the best bars, cafes and restaurants in Barcelona.

If you're cooking at home, your apartment has a fully kitted-out kitchen with a dining table for six, and if you're working from home there's a little desk in the corner of the room. Both bedrooms are bright and uncluttered, and they'd suit a small family as well as a group of friends – with a dedicated bathroom for each room.

Café Carajillo

Barcelona is one of the world's most stylish cities, and this chic apartment reflects its location perfectly. Whether you're in the city for business, to catch up with friends and family, or simply to enjoy the Catalonian lifestyle, it's a great place to call home during your trip. 

Push open the front door, and you'll find monochrome furnishings with the occasional pop of blue – this contemporary space is perfect for relaxing between your adventures. The open-plan set-up means you can chat with your fellow guests while cooking or preparing drinks, and there's space for the whole group to gather around the table for some quality time together. 

From here, you can easily explore the city – the surrounding Eixample district is famous for its art nouveau architecture, buzzing bars, and trendy restaurants. The iconic Casa Milà is just around the corner, while the Sagrada Familia is a twenty-minute walk away. And, if you want to venture further afield in the city, simply hop on the metro at Diagonal station – it's only a two-minute walk away.

What’s better than waking up to a fresh cup of coffee? Waking up to coffee accompanied by views over one of the world’s most beautiful cities. At this sleek Barcelona bolthole, you’ll have the perfect backdrop for your morning pick-me-up, courtesy of your supreme vantage point from the sixth floor of a classic apartment block. While we love the airy free-flowing living and dining area, we think you’ll want to spend most of your time exploring: get your Gaudí architecture fix at Casa Batlló and La Pedrera (both within a five-minute stroll), stand in awe of the mammoth Plaça de Catalunya (ten minutes on foot), and hop on the metro at Passeig de Gràcia station – practically on your doorstep – to explore the rest of the city. Come dinner time, head out to the local tapas bars or whip up your own Catalan feast in the super spacious kitchen, before settling in for a movie or to catch up on your favourite shows on the digital TV.

After a day of dashing about, you'll be welcomed by the bright and cosy living room, decorated with jungle-themed details, inviting you to kick back and relax with an evening of movies with your loved ones. You can also just pop on a record and enjoy a glass of wine out on the balcony. If you don’t feel like eating out, the sleek and modern kitchen will make putting together a delicious meal a work of moments. 

Should you have some work to catch up on, or simply feel like having a moment to yourself, there’s also a lovely workspace, with a handsomely crafted desk and stylish shelves. For a night of restful sleep head over to the comfy bedrooms – factor in the spa-like ambience of the bathrooms, including one with a bathtub, and you’ve got everything you may need for a relaxing stay.

This inviting apartment with its contemporary and functional design is a great choice for a family or group of friends keen to explore Barcelona’s best bits.

If you fancy a day at the beach, Platja de la Barceloneta is less than thirty minutes away. When it’s time for dinner, we recommend heading into the Eixample district for its sleek bars and restaurants. 

Back at home, a cosy living space with licks of calming light blue paint is the perfect place to unwind with a glass of Spanish wine. Should you feel peckish, the kitchen is equipped with everything you need for putting together charcuterie platters. Watch dusk fall from the private balcony until it’s time to get some rest – the comfortable beds guarantee an excellent night’s sleep.

We've found the perfect balance – only a few streets away from iconic Casa Mila, Taffy Balcony offers a relaxed, beachside vibe. This home lets you stay in Barcelona's most iconic neighbourhood without having to compromise on light or comfort – unlike most houses in Eixample, Taffy Balcony is ultra-modern, bright, and could easily fit into downtown LA. The sophisticated modern design and luxurious toiletries practically scream Plum, and we loved speaking to the charming host Carlos.

This home emanates a true sense of relaxation. With a playful interchange between the gentle white colours, rough wood, and exposed brick, Spectre has a lot to offer for lovers of rustic minimalism. Natural Light is a key element in creating a pleasant, warm atmosphere, aided by the semi-transparent curtains. Located in Eixample, the heart of the action in Barcelona, Spectre is surrounded by delicious cafes and restaurants – not to mention the numerous central sights, including the famous Casa Batlló.

Spectre

With its trendy colour palette and sleek modern design, this Eixample apartment offers first-class urban living. The marine blue accent wall makes the open-plan living space feel connected and cosy, while boiserie and marble-effect details add a touch of elegance. You’ll begin your mornings at the dining table with a traditional Catalan breakfast before nipping onto the balcony to bask in the glorious sunshine. 

Spend afternoons ticking off Barcelona’s cultural hot spots – Gaudí’s Casa Batlló is a mere 160 metres from your building and La Sagrada Família is a leisurely twenty-five-minute walk away. Weave through the Gothic Quarter’s charming streets – stop for a coffee on La Rambla and pore over the masterpieces in the Picasso Museum. And when the day draws to a close, take the twenty-four-minute bus trip to Barceloneta Beach to watch the sun set over the glittering Mediterranean. 

La Modernista

Rooftop Terrace

Situated in the bustling Eixample district, this crowd-pleasing apartment is ideal for big groups of friends or extended families looking to get out and explore the city. You're just a short walk from the lively Rambla de Cataluña, filled with shops, restaurants and bars, while the cultural landmarks of Gaudí's Casa Batlló and Casa Milà are fifteen minutes away on foot. The bedrooms vary in size and there's limited space on the terrace, but the home is bright and comfortable. The private balcony is an added bonus and there's an open kitchen and breakfast bar for group meals together and mapping out the day ahead. 

At Their Best

Perched along handsome Gran Vía Avenue and just a stroll from the Gothic Quarter and all the must-see sights, the location of this apartment is spot-on. But it's the sense of space that impresses us the most about this L'Eixample bolthole. Each bedroom with an en-suite is as beautifully styled as the next, with Juliet balcony doors flooding in natural daylight. It's worth noting if ten guests share, it could be a squeeze fitting you all around the dining table. Though with countless buzzy tapas bars and restaurants just moments from your door, we wouldn't blame you for eating out instead.

Gran Vía Gem

Modern and bright, this ideally located apartment on Rambla de Catalunya puts you in the centre of the city’s action while also offering a comfortable base with gorgeous views of your Eixample neighbourhood. 
 
Inside, modern design meets bohemian chic with wicker ornaments and colourful art on the walls and ample natural light pouring into the living area from the French doors. Open these up to reveal a pretty Juliet balcony – the ideal spot to perch with your morning coffee or evening glass of Spanish wine while watching the comings and going of the Rambla de Catalunya below. 
 
The bedroom is just as bright with its white walls and pared-back furnishings, while a second set of French doors opens onto yet another Juliet balcony – perfect for catching some rays first thing after waking up. With a sleek bathroom complete with a rainfall shower, you’re all set for a carefree, relaxing time. 
 
Go for a stroll along the bustling boulevard right outside your door or visit the Museu Egipci de Barcelona, a six-minute walk away. Architecture enthusiasts, meanwhile, will go gaga for the many Gaudí masterpieces within easy reach, including Casa Batlló (a three-minute walk), Casa Milà (an eight-minute walk) and Barcelona’s emblematic Sagrada Familia (a twenty-five-minute walk). You’re also an eight-minute stroll from Plaça de Catalunya, while the Gothic Quarter is twenty minutes away on foot. 


Springfold

Situated in the affluent neighbourhood of Dreta de l'Eixample, this home offers a stylish base at the heart of the action. You'll find it nestled in a contemporary building on the top floor, providing a tranquil base amidst the hustle and bustle of the city. Here, you're surrounded by metro links and a short walk from the famous Plaza Catalunya and Las Ramblas. The Passeig de Gràcia, with its delightful cluster of upmarket boutiques and Gaudi masterpieces, is also just a four-minute stroll from your doorstep. 

We love this home's open-plan design aesthetic. Inside, it's a timeless canvas of white walls and wooden floors, adorned with stylish decor. Large windows offer pretty views of the street while ushering sunlight to flood the space. After a restful slumber in the lavish bedrooms, spend mornings roosted at the dining table for coffee and breakfast. The fully-equipped kitchen has everything you could need to prepare a home-cooked feast, though if you'd prefer to try the local cuisine, you're in an ideal spot to do so. Eixample is brimming with cafes and eateries, not to mention swish bars for those sunset cocktails.

One To Remember

Perched on the bustling Passeig de Gràcia, this apartment is just across the street from Gaudí's famous Casa Battló. You're so close that you can spot the fantastical architecture from the balcony – there may be nowhere to sit, but you can't beat the views. The home consists of two separate apartments connected by a hallway. That means you'll have two kitchens, two living areas, and double the amount of space. Factor in the central location – this pad is within walking distance of many landmarks, shops, and restaurants – and you can see why it caught our eye.

Eyes on Batlló

Nestled in the Eixample district, this modern apartment is a perfect base for those wanting to immerse themselves in Barcelona life. Sleeping up to eight people, it’s worth noting that at full occupancy two people will sleep on the sofa bed in the living room, and the twin bedroom is a bit of a squeeze – that said, it has everything needed for a comfortable sleep. The balcony is a welcome addition to this home – just the spot for catching the last of the Spanish sun over tapas after a busy day in the city. 

Catalan Charm

Ideally located just a two-minute walk from bustling Passeig de Gràcia in the heart of Barcelona’s Eixample neighbourhood, this chic modern apartment is all set to offer you a comfortable city stay. 

We love the calm neutral palette in the living area offset by bright walls and glossy feature lightning, as well as the clever ruse of cabinetry to conceal the sleek kitchenette. Whether you’re chilling out on the sofa with a glass of Spanish red or gathering at the dining table for a celebratory meal, you’ll have no trouble making yourself at home here. 

The two comfortable bedrooms, meanwhile, offer a blissful night’s sleep in their plush beds, as well as memorable wake-ups thanks to their Juliet balconies with wide-sweeping views over the Eixample’s rooftops 

When you’re ready to go out and explore, make a beeline for Gaudí’s colourful Casa Batlló or walk twenty-five minutes to visit the city’s famous Sagrada Familia. You’re also an eight-minute walk from both Casa Milà and Plaça de Catalunya, while the Gothic Quarter is twenty minutes away on foot. 


Blanco Blanco

Traditional Catalan charm meets boho modern sleekness in this beautiful flat in Barcelona’s Eixample neighbourhood. Bright and open, the main living area combines colourful tiled floors with a dark ceiling, woven pendant lights and large houseplants to create an intimate feeling of an urban beach pad. We love the wooden French doors here that open out onto an ornate wrought-iron balcony, perfect for catching some early morning rays over a cup of coffee. The large kitchen, too, is a picture of elegance, with its dark cabinetry and picnic-style dining table that looks like it’s come straight out of a design journal. Catch up on work at the artisan wood desk, then head out to explore the surrounding sights. Gaudí’s impressive Casa Milà is less than a ten-minute walk away while La Sagrada Familia is just under a thirty-minute stroll from your door. After a day of exploring the city’s historic sights and countless tapas bars, boutiques and monuments in your neighbourhood, come back home for a glass of wine on the balcony or kick back on the sofa while listening to some tunes on the record player. When it’s time for bed, let the calm, muted tones of your beach vibe bedrooms drift you into a peaceful night’s sleep. 


Driftwood Days

Barbeque

With its sand-coloured, textured paint, wood floors, boho rugs and lantern-lined walls, this home on the edge of Barcelona’s Eixample neighborhood exudes desert-like tranquility. Open the living room’s French doors to sip your morning coffee on the balcony, then enjoy a luxurious shower in the beachy bathroom. You can catch up on work in the arty office, or head straight out to see the sights. With El Raval’s edgy street art and Ciutat Vella’s gothic mansions both walkable in fifteen minutes and Barceloneta Beach a short cycle away, this home is perfectly located to enjoy both the city centre and coast. After a day exploring, come home for drinks on the balcony while a record plays, followed by a meal in your stylish kitchen. Alternatively, head out to sample Barcelona’s buzzing nightlife before coming home to the calm comfort of your earthy, balcony-boasting bedrooms. 

Desert Glow

This cosy apartment lies in the L'Eixample district, with its own private balcony. The central location means some noise, and parking might be tricky, but the lively locale makes it the perfect spot for getting to know the city on foot. The kitchen is on the smaller side, so you'll definitely want to take advantage of nearby eateries. With a laptop-friendly workspace and enough room on the balcony to sit with an evening sangria, this home is suited for all types of trips.

Getting to Know You

There's room for all eight of you to pile into this chic Barcelona bolthole, placed right in the heart of Eixample's wander-worthy, elegant streets. 

Get off to a flying start exploring the city at the Cathedral of Barcelona (just thirteen minutes on foot). Stop by Plaça Reial, just around the corner, for a spot of brunch with the fountain and palm trees as your backdrop. Then hit the tree-lined streets of La Rambla (seventeen minutes on foot) for some retail therapy. Or, for a slice of something more authentic, stop by La Boqueria Market (twenty-two minutes on foot), the city's most flamboyant and bustling market, for a market-fresh snack.

When it's time to escape the bustle for a while, the beach for an afternoon of lounging around on the golden sand and sipping a glass of Sangria is never far away. Or head back home to this fresh and inviting city hideaway.

Housed in a grand art nouveau apartment building typical of the city, you can tell a designer has been working their décor wizardry inside this home. Light-filled and minimalist, there's a great mid-century quality about the space alongside parquet wooden flooring and those lofty ceilings. We adore the bespoke wooden kitchen – ideal for whipping up a delicious breakfast in the morning, along with a cup of coffee. And there's space for you all to spill out around that dining table as you hatch plans for another adventure in the city.


Rocking It

Situated in the lively Eixample district, this apartment is well-placed for ticking off Barcelona’s most famous sights. Casa Milà is a fifteen-minute walk away, and the heart of the Gothic Quarter, home to the Cathedral of Barcelona, is easily reached by public transport. The pad is suitable for a family or a group of friends, and there’s a workspace for those visiting on business. Not only will you have access to a private balcony, but there’s also a communal terrace for guests to enjoy. 

Gaudi's Hideaway

This location couldn't be better for a Barcelona getaway. The apartment is perched above the bustling Passeig de Gràcia, just a short stroll from shops, restaurants, and landmarks like Casa Batlló. You'll even enjoy Gaudí views of your own here – Casa Milà is right across the street, and you can admire the iconic architecture from the living room windows. We think this is an excellent option for friends and families – there's ample space for socialising in the lounge, the kitchen is well-equipped for whipping up tapas, and the main bedroom has a walk-in closet and sleek en-suite. In this central spot, street noise is to be expected, but we think it's worth it for the view.

Milà Mirage

Luxury Bedding

Located on the cusp of the Eixample neighbourhood, this apartment puts you in an excellent position to explore the city in style. It's right on the Ronda de la Universitat, a major thoroughfare in the city, but this sanctuary is pretty peaceful – thanks to it being on the inner side of the building, you get to enjoy the central location without the noise. We liked the splashes of mauve in the living room, as well as the use of natural materials. The kitchen is kitted out with basic seasonings and cooking ingredients, and there's a juicer and Nespresso machine to make mornings a delight. And the true standout feature of this home is the bedroom, with its impressive modern twist on a classic four-poster bed and painted brick wall. Step outside, and it's just a four-minute walk to the Plaça de Catalunya, and you can arrive at the labyrinthine Gothic Quarter in less than fifteen minutes.

24-Hour Front Desk

If you're looking to stay in Eixample, then you might already know that it's filled with architectural masterpieces. Well, guess what – you'll be staying right around the corner from Casa Batlló and Casa Milà, which will make sightseeing effortless. At just a two- and eight-minute walk respectively, your apartment is a wonderful base for Gaudí fans. Unlike the striking architecture around you, the home interiors feel understated yet elegant. Overall it’s a modern vibe, with Scandinavian-style furniture. However, you will find hints of tradition from Catalan design features like decorative tiled floors and arched, wooden shuttered windows. Unwind on the leather sofa, or read your novel in the rattan chair in the lounge. Another excellent spot for relaxation is the private roof terrace with its outdoor sofa and dining table. We love the terracotta tiles and the spectacular views out to the modernist buildings of Barcelona. To make your time here extra special, your host can even arrange a private massage in the home, and of course offers a complimentary bottle of cava upon arrival. Salud!

The Congress of the Hundred

This apartment in the heart of Eixample has a couple of eclectic flourishes up its sleeve. The bold red finishes in the kitchen are unexpected, as is the patterned tiling that runs across the floors in the living area and bedrooms. By comparison, the furnishings are a little more pared-back, with a discernible mid-century influence in the seating.

The home's secret weapon, however, has to be the balcony, which is accessed through French doors in the living room and bedrooms. There are a couple of seats out there so you can enjoy a burst of fresh air during the hottest part of the afternoon.

That's if you're out exploring Barcelona's streets. The home's central location gives guests so many options, from frequenting the myriad restaurants in the local neighbourhood and visiting some of Gaudi's most famous buildings to catching a thirty-five-minute bus down to Barceloneta Beach for a dip in the Mediterranean Sea.

Blue & Garnet

Such is the great design of this Eixample apartment, there are balconies leading off from both of the bedrooms and the large living area. We can guarantee that these outdoor spaces will be a godsend on sunny afternoons, which are not unheard of in Barcelona.

These doors to the outdoor space also have the added benefit of bringing plenty of natural light into the interior, which dances pleasingly off the grey wooden floor. The furnishings throughout are Scandi in style, with a preference for wood and clean lines, although both the kitchen and bathroom are more contemporary in style.

When you fancy seeing a little more of the city, the iconic Casa Milà takes ten minutes to reach on foot and another one of Gaudi's finished projects, Casa Batlló, takes only slightly longer. A little further afield, Tibidabo theme park is a forty-minute journey on public transport.

Worship the Sun

With a private terrace perfect for cocktails and in a fantastic location, you'll be torn between spending a little longer at home and heading out here. The apartment is located in hip Esquerra de l'Eixample, so the local area is littered with trendy bars and local eateries. Back at home, the open-plan living space and its compact kitchen are there when you fancy dining in. Only one bedroom has air conditioning here, but with two bathrooms, at least you won't need to queue for your morning shower.
