Dappled Onyx Barcelona, Catalonia

Property Description

Just a short walk from the bustling Avinguda Diagonal, this apartment is perfectly placed for exploring Barcelona. Take a stroll down to Plaça de Catalunya, passing Casa Milà on the way – it's a half-hour on foot – or wine and dine at the restaurants, bars and authentic food markets dotted around the neighbourhood. Want to venture a little farther? Gràcia Station is eight minutes on foot, so you'll be able to zip around the city with ease.

After an adventure-filled day, come home and rest your feet in this comfortable flat. Open a bottle of wine and share a glass or two around the dining table alongside tapas and a delicious feast if you're in the mood to cook. On summer evenings, step out onto the Juliet balcony and catch the last of the day's rays before climbing into the cosy beds for a good night's sleep. The layout is roomy and bright, with a few characterful features adding some classic Catalan personality – we're especially fond of the stone arch in the main bedroom. And with the option to book wine tastings, guided tours, cooking classes, private chefs and more, we can't think of a better spot to call home.
