Inspired by the calming beauty of the African grasslands, this picturesque apartment in Barcelona’s Eixample neighbourhood is the ideal home for a couple or solo traveller looking for a luxurious, central stay in the city. Peaceful hues of green and white lend an aura of serenity to this stunning space, with light flooding in from floor-to-ceiling windows the moment you walk through the door. We love the living room’s boho simplicity with a beautiful, Balinese bed-inspired sofa taking centre stage here. Kick back beneath the canopies with a glass of wine while listening to some soothing tunes on the record player, or step out onto the enclosed patio where a locally crafted desk awaits on one end and a bistro-inspired dining nook beckons on the other. Speaking of dining, you’ll relish sitting down to meals at the elegant wood table where a grand olive branch statement light creates a magical setting for any soirée. And then there’s the bedroom – a vision of white beneath a corniced, olive-green ceiling, creating the perfect canvas for a dreamy night’s sleep. When you’re not chilling out in your chic home, go out and explore your surroundings. Your Eixample neighbourhood is packed full of stylish boutiques, restaurants and bars, while Gaudí’s Casa Milà waits to be discovered a ten-minute walk away.
