A Graceful Touch

A Graceful Touch: Catalonia

Located in Barcelona’s elegant Gràcia neighbourhood – where 19th-century boulevards carry the promise of indie boutiques, galleries, cool Catalan bistros and wine bars – this bright, chicly bohemian home puts you in a prime spot to explore the city’s most iconic sights.

Dressed in sophisticated notes of cream and off-white and decked out in a medley of natural textures and materials, the bright living space is an inviting, relaxing space. Ample natural light pours in through the glass doors that slide open to reveal a large private terrace.

You’ll immediately be wowed by the draped pergola that looks like it’s been taken straight from the beaches of Bali. Sit here under the shade with a cool drink and a good book or make yourself comfortable on one of the sun loungers to catch some rays. There’s a table here too for alfresco dining, courtesy of the sleek kitchen that’s ready to whip up a homemade tapas feast. What's more, you've got access to the building's shared pool – the ideal spot to while away a few blissful hours when you're not out exploring the city.

With two beautifully dressed bedrooms – one of which has a desk space – that lead out onto the terrace too, there’s no need to wait before soaking up the sun.

When it comes to sightseeing nearby, you’re spoilt for choice with the Sagrada Família an eighteen-minute walk away, Casa Milà a twelve-minute stroll and Park Güell just over twenty minutes away on foot.
