Although Argila Blava's location is great, it's not what we love most about this home. The half-moon and stained windows are key to its timeless elegance, and the designer furniture does a great job of filling the (almost too big) space to create a gallery-like atmosphere. Passeig de Gràcia is one of Barcelona's main tourist thoroughfares, which means this isn't a quiet beachside stay – but if you're in town to admire Modernist architecture, then this home will get you up close and personal with the city's cultural legacy.
