But One Night

But One Night: Catalonia

Moorish design meets boho modernity in this stylish Barcelona pad. Burnt orange and terracotta tones whisper of riads and souks, while raw wood accents add shades of the Sahara. We love the hipster-chic touches of a cedar wood record player in the kitchen and upcycled end tables. The second bedroom, with its hand-crafted desk, doubles as a private office. The highlight of this home has to be the terrace; a secluded stone nook with views over the rooftops to the spires of the Sagrada Familia. Moroccan lamps glowing at twilight set the mood, and pot plants add a riad courtyard kind of vibe. It’s a fitting apartment for a stay in Gracia – Barcelona’s achingly cool neighbourhood where indie boutiques, galleries, Catalan bistros and wine bars line the 19th-century streets.

Home truths:
* The second bedroom doubles as an office and doesn't have a permanent bed
* The kitchen is very small, but there are so many restaurants around you might only use it for a quick breakfast
*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
