A two-minute stroll from the Placa de Catalunya, this super stylish apartment puts you right in the centre of Barcelona’s beating heart. The late-night tapas and wine bars of the atmospheric Gothic Quarter are a short stroll away and you can hit the pavement cafés and shops of Las Ramblas within five minutes.

Inside, we love the traditional mosaic floor in every room which feels distinctly Catalunyan. Mid-century-chic furniture complements the traditional air, and both bedrooms are equally big and stylish so there’s no fighting over the master. The piece de resistance is the private terrace outside, where there’s a parasol-shaded sofa for a quiet reading session and dining for four should you want to make the most of the balmy Barcelona evenings.
