Sitting right in the heart of Barcelona’s elegant Gràcia neighbourhood – known for its 19th-century boulevards lined with indie boutiques, galleries, cool Catalan bistros and wine bars– this bright, welcoming apartment is just the ticket for those looking to make the most of the city’s sun and sights. Modern but with a chic boho touch, the living room dazzles with light thanks to the large windows and French doors that give way to pretty Juliet balconies. Perch here with a glass of Spanish wine while watching the comings and goings of your scenic street, or kick back on the comfortable sofa after a long day of exploring the city on foot. The corner table beckons sociable breakfasts over fresh coffee and locally-bought pastries, and intimate meals while the breeze flows through the open doors. Better yet, step through the door adjacent to the kitchen to take advantage of the large private terrace here – the ideal spot to gather for sunset nibbles and celebratory jugs of Sangria before discovering the local tapas scene. When it’s time for bed, you’ll find two pared-back yet comfortable bedrooms waiting to drift you into a good night’s sleep As for sightseeing nearby,... you’re spoilt for choice – especially when it comes to visiting Gaudí’s most splendid architectural wonders. Walk to Casa Milà in ten minutes, stroll to Casa Batlló in eighteen and gaze up at the city’s emblematic Sagrada Familia, twenty-three minutes away on foot. You’re also a fifteen-minute walk from the Eixample district, while Plaça de la Vila de Gràcia is a mere two minutes on foot from your door.
