Located in the oldest district of Barcelona, the Gothic Quarter, this apartment is part of an eighteenth-century palace. This amazing area of the city has narrow streets that will transport you back to the medieval times while the neighbourhood itself is alive with street artists, musicians, small antique shops, artisans, designers, cosy restaurants, tapas bars and cafes, so there is something to meet everyone’s needs. Why not start your mornings here with a breakfast of churros as a soft breeze floats in from the home’s Juliet balcony, which overlooks the narrow, gothic streets below, before heading out for a day of sightseeing?

This home is ideally situated to see much of what Barcelona has to offer. In the Gothic Quarter, the Cathedral is just six minutes away on foot, while the Plaça del Pi, with its beautiful church that often hosts concerts, is just a nine-minute walk away.

Further afield, why not enjoy a leisurely stroll as you admire the fountains of Cuitadella Park – a short twelve-minute walk from your door, or take a twenty-two-minute walk to Casa Battló to see the incredible architecture and design work of Gaudí. Experience a wine tasting – which can be reached within seven minutes on foot – or book fun tours and activities including city sightseeing on a hop-on-hop-off bus tour.

Then, in the evening, when you are exhausted from exploring the city, head home and enjoy a tapas meal using local produce from the market – Mercado de La Boqueria is just a twelve-minute walk away. Or treat yourself to a meal out in one of the nearby restaurants – which can be reached in as little as two minutes on foot.
