Styled in a striking black and red colour palette, this apartment offers a comfortable, central base from which to explore Barcelona’s many historic sights. Sitting between the Eixample and Sant Gervasi neighbourhoods, you’ve got an array of restaurants, shops and cultural hotspots within easy reach.

Inside, floor-to-ceiling windows bathe the open-plan living area in light. Kick back on the sofa with a glass of Spanish wine while taking in the view or sit down to a meal at the window-side table, cooked up in the sleek kitchen.

Both bedrooms boast a pared-back aesthetic that feels wonderfully calming when it’s time to sleep, and there’s a desk in the second bedroom should you need to catch up on work.

When you’re ready to venture out, take a short stroll to Avinguda Diagonal – one minute away – where plenty of shops, restaurants and bars are all waiting to be sampled, or walk eighteen minutes to Gaudí’s architecturally stunning Casa Milà. You’re also a seven-minute walk from leafy Parc del Turó, while the city’s emblematic Sagrada Familia is just over thirty minutes away on foot.
