Combine Saharan influences with Catalan modernity and you’ll get this sumptuously styled apartment in the heart of the tranquil Sarrià-Sant Gervasi neighbourhood. Surrounded by greenery, you’ll enjoy strolling around the local Turo Parc, perusing the boutiques along the tree-lined Avenida Diagonal and stocking up on local delicacies at the Mercat de Galvany. Inside, soft neutrals, natural textures and ambient light fixtures create a warm environment that’s a pleasure to unwind or work in – there's a sleek desk space for those visiting on business. Wake up feeling rested and refreshed in the bright bedrooms – the ivory-hued master benefits from a double bed, and the others feature earthy palettes – all rooms are made up of hemp furnishings and thoughtful designs to create a serene environment to rise from. Days continue with a coffee out on the private balcony, soaking up the warm air while swinging in the hammock. After a leisurely breakfast whipped up in your dynamic kitchen, take to the luscious streets surrounding your home. Take the funicular railway to catch views across Mount Tibidabo from Parque de Atracciones, admire the medieval turreted Belleguard, designed by Gaudí, or head over to the modernist CosmoCaixa Museum where you’ll find an... indoor botanical garden and planetarium. What better way to end a sight-filled day than with an array of local delicacies in one of the charming tapas bars of your neighbourhood?
