Drawing inspiration from calming desert landscapes through its warm colour palette and eclectic blend of textures, this beautifully styled apartment in Gràcia is an ideal base for those looking to explore the city from a comfortable, central base. We love the earthy tones in the welcoming living area with its hanging chair, record player and boho throws. Best of all, however, is the access here to the incredible private terrace. Equipped with a shaded covering, as well as ample outdoor seating, this is where you’ll want to begin days over fresh coffee and pastries and end evenings with alfresco dinners and celebratory glasses of Sangria. Back inside, you can mix business with pleasure in the dedicated office area, while both bedrooms offer carefully curated retreats you’ll relish returning home to after a busy day of sightseeing. Speaking of exploring, your Gràcia neighbourhood is teeming with pedestrian lanes packed with galleries, indie boutiques, wine bars and cool Catalan bistros, while many of Gaudí’s most notable masterpieces are within easy reach on foot.

About Gràcia
Gracia once was a separate town from Barcelona, and although that’s no longer the case, it still retains its unique feel. This cool neighbourhood is a maze of narrow streets and relaxed squares.
