This lovely apartment situated in the heart of the historic Gràcia district is a perfect place for a family or a group of friends visiting Barcelona and hoping to make the most of all the city has to offer, while also enjoying the comfort and luxury of a stylish and centrally located pad. We love the lush, jungle-inspired aesthetic of this place, which deftly combines the traditional architectural elements with modern décor and unique pieces scattered throughout. Settle in for a cosy evening of Netflix and Spanish wine or gather around the dining table to enjoy a delicious supper you’ll be able to put together with ease in the well-equipped kitchen. Should you have some laptop duties to tend to during your stay, you’ll be delighted to find the cosy office space specially designed for remote work. Factor in the plush bedrooms and the sleek bathrooms, and the picture-perfect apartment is complete and waiting to welcome you. Outside you’ll find yourself surrounded by awe-inspiring architecture, vibrant bars and cafes, art galleries and elegant boutiques, with the Sagrada Familia just a short walk away.

Local guide
About Sagrada Família
La Sagrada Família is the neighbourhood immediately surrounding Barcelona’s greatest and largest attraction - the Sagrada Família. As Gaudí’s opus magnum, the architectural behemoth has been in construction for over a century, and some say asking when will it be finished is the easiest way to anger a local. The immediate vicinity of the cathedral is always busy, but the rest of the area is upscale and residential, making it quieter than one would expect. The vast avenues are home to a variety of cafes, shops, and beautifully designed parks.
