This exquisite apartment blends design-led interiors with an enviable outdoor space. The living area is a homage to past and present: keystone archways and a distressed plaster wall frame the room beneath a wooden beamed ceiling supported by corbels. This is complemented by Scandi furniture and plenty of natural light, creating a space that is at once modern and historical. Step through the glass double doors out into your very own urban oasis. Boasting verdant plant life, an outdoor shower and a hammock, the capacious private terrace is a serene spot to while away afternoons with a book. The outdoor table seats six, so you can invite guests around to your palatial home for dinner. You’ll also have a charming patio, which is the perfect spot for breakfast and some morning rays. While you'll feel completely at peace in your stunning home, the hustle and bustle of central Barcelona are mere minutes away. There’s a smattering of tapas bars and delectable restaurants within easy walking distance, while the Plaça de Catalunya is also easily reachable on foot. On sunny summer days, hire a bicycle and pedal to Playa Barceloneta, the city’s expansive beach, where you can frolic in the waves and catch some sun. If you’re here for culture, ride in the opposite direction for La Sagrada Familia, Gaudi’s famous cathedral. With its carefully curated interiors, impeccable terrace and unbeatable location, this apartment is scoring top marks on all fronts.

Local guide
About Gothic Quarter
Gothic Quarter is a true tourist hotspot, filled with shops and famous attractions on every corner. During the day, urban explorers fill its narrow, stone-paved streets, admiring the neo-Gothic sights – but it’s the night that sees the Quarter truly come to life. Home to some of the city’s most popular restaurants, bars, and quirky shops that stay open till late, the vibrant area is popular among young travellers and party-goers seeking the best Barcelona has to offer.
