Brilliant Eixample

Brilliant Eixample: Catalonia

Beach vibes meet boho beauty in this wonderfully stylish apartment located in Barcelona’s Eixample neighbourhood. From its neutral, earthy palette to its domed tiled ceiling and wood accents throughout, this home reflects the city’s easy-going coastal atmosphere while providing a luxuriously relaxing retreat.

We love the living area’s wood-shuttered French doors that lead out onto scenic Juliet balconies – the ideal spot to perch with your morning coffee or evening sangria while people-watching from your privileged vantage point. Spend evenings chilling out in the hanging chair while a vinyl record serenades you, then gather around the rustic dining table for a celebratory Spanish feast.

The three bedrooms have been uniquely curated to give you an instant feeling of calm, each one differing in its decor and colour scheme but all three proffering an equally blissful night’s sleep. The main bedroom has an office nook too should you need to catch up on work, while both bathrooms – one of which is en-suite – are ready to get your mornings off to a pampered start with their luxurious rainfall showers.

When it comes to sightseeing, you’ve got plenty to see and do nearby, including colourful Casa Batlló (a five-minute walk), Plaça de Catalunya (an eight-minute walk), the Gothic Quarter (a seventeen-minute walk) and Barcelona’s emblematic Sagrada Família, twenty-five minutes away on foot.
