Tens Across the Board

Holiday Rental Description

Situated on the Passeig de Gràcia, this penthouse apartment is a fittingly luxurious addition to the exclusive street. The home can't be accused of wasting its prime position at the top of the building, as there's an incredible rooftop terrace perfect for summer afternoons. As well as plenty of loungers and seating, guests can also cool off in the pool and admire the view of Barcalonean rooftops at the same time.

Though this outside space sets a very high standard, the interior manages to match it when it comes to style. Underneath the high ceilings and glass walls, designer Lázaro Rosa-Violán has added an effortlessly chic mix of parquet flooring, bold modern artwork and opulent chandeliers.

Although you could easily spend the majority of your time at this inimitable address, there's so much to see and do in the local area. Two of Gaudi's most famous projects can be seen in ten minutes on foot – Casa Batlló and Milà – while the city's cathedral is thirteen minutes' walk in the opposite direction.
