House of Arches

House of Arches: Catalonia

Located in the iconic Eixample barrio, this elegant apartment is a salve to Barcelona’s busy streets. Inside, soft white walls and muted tones are classic and calming, while the vaulted ceiling, French windows, and a strong preference for wood over plastic give this home a rustic feel in spite of its modern design features. Sink into those gloriously soft sofas with a café con leche, listening to the birdsong in the treetops just the other side of the balcony doors. Once you’re feeling rested and rejuvenated, it’s a ten-minute stroll to the leafy boulevards of Passeig de Gracia, with its luxury stores and Modernist architecture. Foodies with a penchant for fine dining should stay local, the coveted Enric Granados walkway is home to a number of upscale eateries.
