Experience Spain's most vibrant city from above in this stylish penthouse pad. With a terrace that's almost as big as its inside space, you can soak up the sunshine while the urban streets hum along below. And when you need a heat break, rustic Saharan-inspired interiors create a warm and inviting ambience. Leave the double doors open and relax surrounded by earthy tones, organic ceramics and pale wooden accents. The sleek matte back kitchen is a joy to cook in, fitted with all the facilities culinary connoisseurs need. Located in Barcelona's popular Dreta de l’Eixample neighbourhood, this home offers all the benefits of city-centre living. Explore nearby historic lanes, weaving your way in and out of matchbox shops and quirky cocktail bars. The famed Las Ramblas is just a five-minute walk away – this energetic tree-lined boulevard leads directly to the Gothic Quarter, where a selection of traditional tapas bars and medieval landmarks await.
