Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Muted pastel tones, endless cosy nooks and impressive foliage of this one-bed apartment are made curling up and letting life slow down, and how many people can say they can sit under a tree in their own home? Hide under a blanket on the hanging chair or the swing, huddle under coarse-woven linen sheets or snuggle on the sofa. A smart kitchen with a coffee maker, electric cooker, oven and dishwasher makes it easy to whip up some tapas in typical Catalonian style. In the evening, put an LP on the record player or play your tunes through the Bluetooth speaker. There’s also no need to go far to explore the city – the Sagrada Familia is right outside.

Local guide
About Sagrada Família
La Sagrada Família is the neighbourhood immediately surrounding Barcelona’s greatest and largest attraction - the Sagrada Família. As Gaudí’s opus magnum, the architectural behemoth has been in construction for over a century, and some say asking when will it be finished is the easiest way to anger a local. The immediate vicinity of the cathedral is always busy, but the rest of the area is upscale and residential, making it quieter than one would expect. The vast avenues are home to a variety of cafes, shops, and beautifully designed parks.

This house is the best kept secret of modernist architecture. Designed by Josep Maria Jujol in 1924, it's an austere yet experimental architectural achievement.
Marvel at the Sagrada Familia
One of the most complex architectural wonders of the modern age. Some love it, some hate it, but all admit that this is one ambitious church. Also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
