Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Feel the beating heart of Barcelona when you stay in this centrally located home. You’re mere steps away from the city’s favourite restaurants and boutique shops of Passeig de Gracia. The home itself is just as fashionable. Think dark earthy tones, textured walls, and upcycled furniture. This place has been carefully thought out to incorporate lots of storage areas, including a washing machine and dishwasher to make life easier. Don’t worry about the plants dotted around the home, the self-watering integration system means they’re well taken care of. All you need to concern yourself with is which terrace you’ll be relaxing on that day. Slide open the doors from the living area to be greeted with Gaudi-inspired architecture. Seat yourself at the table for dinner under the stars or jump in the hammock to rock yourself to sleep. A second terrace just off the bedroom is the perfect spot for your morning espresso. Why not start the day with an invigorating outdoor shower? If that’s not your thing, you’ll be pleased to know there’s an ultra-sleek bathroom inside. All you need is a spot of tapas to enjoy in the sunshine and you have the perfect Spanish getaway.
