Orchird & Teak Barcelona, Catalonia

Holiday Rental Description

Natural, smooth wood, wide open space, and tall bright windows are what makes this apartment so inviting. The light sweeps in, illuminating the tall gallery white walls. It's the ideal home for a group of friends or a small family to have a comfortable stay while enjoying all that Barcelona has to offer.

The neighbourhood is quiet, safe, and well situated for exploring the rest of Barcelona. We do love exploring cities on foot but Barcelona is a big city so a metro system that is quick, reliable, and inexpensive is always helpful. Plus, you're just three minutes away from the closest metro, Muntaner. From there, you can get to some of Barcelona's famous hotspots easily. Gothic Quarter, Sant Pau Recinte Modernista, La Sagrada Familia, and many more, are all reachable within twenty-five minutes from door-to-door.

If you want to stretch your legs, Parc del Turó is a particularly lovely place to have a stroll, just an eight-minute walk away. The mystical winding paths take you to an oval-shaped pond, covered with lily pads. For a different kind of park, head to Park Güell and admire the distinct Catalonian architecture of Gaudí. You can get there by metro in twenty-five minutes, or walk along and enjoy exploring the streets of Barcelona for thirty-eight. All this walking is sure to make you hungry, and Barcelona certainly isn't short of its restaurants. If you want to stay in your neighbourhood, Bar Omar is just a four-minute walk away and does incredible tapas. Or, head to PATRÓN, a three-minute walk from home, for incredible seafood and live music.
