Classic Barcelonan architecture is at the heart of this home with domed brick and beamed ceilings, wood floors and French doors giving way to a wrought-iron Juliet balcony. Located in elegant Gràcia, you’ve got some of the city’s most iconic sights within easy reach, not to mention a beautiful base to call home here. Perch by the Juliet balcony with your morning coffee as you take in the hustle and bustle of the street below. Then, whip up a hearty Spanish omelette in the sleek kitchen before setting off to see the sights. You’re within walking distance of Gaudí’s famous Casa Milà and Casa Vicens, as well as Plaça de la Vila de Gràcia and Avinguda Diagonal. After a day of sightseeing, come back home to relax on the large sofa with a glass of Spanish wine before setting out to discover the local tapas bars or enjoy a meal at home. When you’re ready to turn in for the night, the pared-back yet beautifully curated bedrooms are ready to ease you into a dreamy night’s sleep, sure to leave you rested and raring to go for another day of fun in the city.
