Holiday Rental Description

Situated on Paseo De Gracia, this stylish home has a fantastic location. Take advantage of the fine restaurants on your doorstep or shop 'til you drop in the designer boutiques. Fans of architecture can head to Gaudí's masterpiece, Casa Batlló, a four-minute stroll away, while La Pedrera is eight minutes on foot. Or soak up the atmosphere in La Rambla and Plaza Catalunya, a five-minute saunter. If you don't fancy eating out, pick up some goodies from La Boqueria Food Market, a twelve-minute amble from this home.

Rustle up a fideuà in the modern kitchen with the ingredients you picked up from the market, though to be honest – we'd be straight up to the rooftop pool for a dip. The views over Barcelona are incredible – it's the perfect spot to sip a glass of Cava (or two). There are more vistas to enjoy inside over the Paseo De Gracia. The renowned interior architect, Lázaro Rosa Violán, has designed the interiors in this apartment. We love the chandeliers over the dining table, as well as the beautiful modern artworks and Scandinavian style wood panelling. There's a communal gym, too, if you have any energy left after exploring this gorgeous city.
