Setting a sophisticated tone with its grey and black colour palette, this home is an ode to style and Barcelona’s glorious sunshine.

We love the open-plan living area’s careful curation – from its contemporary furnishings to its textured pillows and colourful feature rug – and the dazzling amount of light that pours in from two sets of glass doors, each leading out onto a separate balcony. The first, a petite outdoor spot, is ideal for enjoying your morning coffee alfresco while people-watching over the wrought-iron frame, while the second, a larger terrace, is decked out with a bistro-style table and chairs for open-air dining.

The main bedroom also leads out onto the larger terrace allowing you to catch some rays right after waking up, while the second bedroom is equally chic with its muted colour scheme and comfortable bed.

In terms of location, you’re ideally placed between the city’s Eixample and Sant Gervasi neighbourhoods. Head to Avinguda Diagonal – a one-minute walk away – to peruse its countless shops, restaurants and bars or stroll over to Gaudí’s elaborate Casa Milà, an eighteen-minute walk away. You’re also a seven-minute walk from leafy Parc del Turó, while the city’s famous Sagrada Familia is just over thirty minutes away on foot.
