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.
