Apothecary's Retreat

Apothecary's Retreat: Catalonia

Inspired by lush jungles and Catalan tradition, this bright flat in Barcelona’s Gràcia neighbourhood is a tonic to come home to after a busy day exploring the city’s sights. Your eyes will immediately be drawn to the main room’s domed brick ceiling and the pretty tiles that give it plenty of Spanish flair. We love the bright yellow sofa here and the floating shelves decked out in houseplants and ambient ornaments. Open up the living room’s French doors for coffee on the balcony, where two Acapulco chairs invite you to gaze out onto the city in style. With both bedrooms boasting their own private terraces though, you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to outdoor lounging. When you’re ready to explore, Gaudí s Casa Milà is just a fifteen-minute walk away, while in Gràcia itself, you’ll find a cornucopia of Catalan cafes, bohemian boutiques and welcoming wine bars. After a day of adventure, come back home for drinks on the balcony, before sitting down to an intimate meal around the dining table while your favourite tunes play on the Bluetooth speakers.
