A Calm Breeze

A Calm Breeze: Catalonia

Modern, bright and designed with more than just a touch of bohemian flair, this stylish apartment in Barcelona’s Eixample Esquerra neighbourhood puts you in a central position from which to explore the city’s greatest sights. We love the contrast between the wood floors, neutral palette and vibrant pops of green from the houseplants in the living room, as well as the French doors that lead out onto a private sun-drenched terrace. Catch some rays while relaxing in the Papasan chair or enjoy nibbles and sundowners at the table while relishing the amber glow of the city in the evening. The dining area is all set to host Spanish soirées over wine and tapas and there’s a desk space here too should you need to catch up on work. Bespoke details in the bedrooms – like the master’s impressive hand-made headboard and repurposed copper tubes that serve as hangers – make them dreamy spaces to fall asleep in, while the master bedrooms’ Juliette balcony is the ideal space to enjoy your morning coffee as you watch the hustle and bustle of the streets below. Outside of your home, Casa Milà is an eight-minute walk away, Casa Batlló is walkable in ten, Plaça de Catalunya is a fifteen-minute stroll and La Sagrada Família is twenty-five minutes on foot from your door.

Home truths:
*The building's entrance is shared with the other residents
*You'll need to bring your own shampoo
*Keyless check-in is available
*There's no parking here, but we recommend skipping the car and using Barcelona's public transport instead – Provença station is a five-minute walk away
*Barcelona Airport is a twenty-five to thirty-minute drive away or an hour away by public transport
*As this home is in one of Barcelona’s most popular areas, some city and street noise is to be expected – light sleepers may want to pack earplugs just in case
*There is only air conditioning in some rooms
