Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Make your way down the leafy gateway to find a charmingly restored historic aparthotel. Nestled in Vila de Gràcia, this city oasis is perfectly poised for you to discover Gaudí's Art Nouveau architecture, sample local Catalan tapas and vibrant shopping streets. Though the building is adorned with authentic features, arched windows, beamed ceilings and iron balustrades, your room is bathed in crisp whites and modern furnishings. And although there’s no kitchen here, you won’t miss having one with an array of bustling tapas bars, upscale restaurants and lowkey eateries on your doorstep. Start your day on the shared rooftop overlooking Plaça del Sol with your holiday read and the soft sound of the trickling water feature before heading out to explore Park Güell and admire its hillside views. If it’s a day on the sands of La Barceloneta you’re in the mood for, it’s accessible via the Metro. And after a colourful day out, you’ll look forward to returning home to your minimalist sanctuary for a restful night’s sleep.

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.
