Ciutat Vella

High above Plaça de Catalunya, this penthouse is one we love for its spectacular views of Barcelona's skyline. The large, private terrace is the star of the show in this home – it's the perfect place to top up the tan or enjoy evening drinks. For lunch, prepare some tapas in the modern kitchen and enjoy at the dining table, or take a seat on the comfy sofa and plan the rest of your day. Out and about, have a stroll around Plaça de Catalunya, right on your doorstep, with its pretty fountains. Or, it's around a fifteen-minute walk to one of Antoni Gaudi's most iconic works, Casa Milà. Just over a ten-minute stroll, you'll find the charming Gothic Quarter with its medieval streets filled with trendy bars, while flower stalls line busy avenue La Rambla. To get the most out of your vacation, your host can organise tours or even food experiences. There's so much to do and see here – you'll probably need to come back for another stay.
