Holiday Rental Description

We can't think of a better way to wake up in Barcelona than face to face with a Gaudi masterpiece. Overlooking Casa Batlló and proudly perched on Passeig de Gràcia, this home promises just that. It sits in a historic building fittingly designed by one of Gaudi's pupils, Bonaventura Conill I Montobbio. Beautifully equipped for large groups and just a short walk from the famous Plaça Catalunya and Las Ramblas, it's a surefire winner.

The interior is contemporary and inviting, with plenty of space for you and your clan to kick back between adventures. With its open-plan layout and elegant colour palette, echoing the facade of the Casa Batlló itself, it offers a free-flowing ambience of calm. We especially love the living space, where floor-to-ceiling arched windows – delightfully adorned with timber shutters and intricate iron railings – usher in floods of sunlight and an authentic Spanish balcony beckons you to admire spectacular street views. Spend mornings roosted here, sipping coffee with the sun on your face before slipping out to explore. Amidst the tree-lined avenue of Passeig de Gràcia and its cobbled alleyways, you'll find an array of restaurants, cafes and shops at your doorstep.
