This home’s bohemian style pairs well with its elegant structure – tall ceilings with decorative mouldings meet wicker lanterns and a hammock to make this space both sophisticated and welcoming. You’ll feel relaxed in the down-to-earth spirit of the place, even as the gorgeous patio sets you high above Barcelona. Location-wise, you’ll be in the heart of the Eixample neighbourhood, with its diverse array of shops, restaurants and boutiques. While you’ll get a lovely neighbourhood atmosphere, you’ll also be central to many of Barcelona’s attractions. Find yourself surrounded by the renowned architect Gaudi on all sides – you’ll be a nine-minute walk from his Casa Milà, six minutes from Casa Batlló and twenty-five minutes from his unfinished masterpiece, La Sagrada Familia. When you grow peckish, you’re only sixteen minutes from one of the most famous markets in Spain – Mercado de La Boqueria –where they serve up fresh fruit juices, Iberian ham and all kinds of Catalan delicacies.
