El Mundo: Catalonia

With its forest green and neutrals palette and blend of multicultural decor, this home in Barcelona’s Gràcia neighbourhood is a chic urban pad with everything you need for a relaxing city stay. African masks, Brazilian woven baskets and jungle-scene prints combine with wooden floors, textured cushions, wicker furniture and leafy house plants in the living area, creating a serene space made for luxurious lounging. Enjoy your morning coffee in the sunny enclosed conservatory, then catch up on work in the office or head straight out to see the sights. With many of Gaudí’s most gorgeous buildings sprinkled around Gràcia and Eixample’s boutique-lined boulevards a five-minute walk away, you have plenty of culture and entertainment right on your doorstep. After a day of sightseeing or soaking up the sun at Barceloneta Beach, a twenty-minute cycle away, you’ll relish a refreshing shower in the spa-like bathroom, followed by sunset drinks on the master bedroom’s balcony. Finish the night off with a cosy meal at the flat, or sample Barcelona’s buzzing nightlife before returning home for a comfortable night’s sleep.
