Step into your own vermillion-hued slice of heaven. Everything about this gorgeous one-bed penthouse in Port Vell is pitched to perfection – the suntrap terrace that catches the breeze from the Mediterranean, the contemporary yet quintessentially Catalonian kitchen, the exposed brick and plants on every surface. Stroll down the palm-lined Rambla del Mar to the shore, where you can indulge in sweet treats and traditional restaurants, or even take a dip in the ocean. Wind up a romantic evening with a movie on the sofa or watching the sky change colour while sipping sangria on the terrace.

Local guide
About Gothic Quarter
Gothic Quarter is a true tourist hotspot, filled with shops and famous attractions on every corner. During the day, urban explorers fill its narrow, stone-paved streets, admiring the neo-Gothic sights – but it’s the night that sees the Quarter truly come to life. Home to some of the city’s most popular restaurants, bars, and quirky shops that stay open till late, the vibrant area is popular among young travellers and party-goers seeking the best Barcelona has to offer.
