Plush & Lush: Catalonia

Immerse yourself in Old World Barcelona with this art-filled apartment situated just a few minutes walk from Plaça Catalunya. This newly renovated home greets you with a brilliant fusion of colours, patterns, and a creative mix of authentic furnishings that hearken to the stylish age of yesteryear. Walls are adorned with a varied collection of turn-of-the-century artwork in gilded frames, while the original floors are covered in antique mosaic tiling. Even the bathroom tiling is reminiscent of Gaudi's Modernism.

In addition to its beautiful flair, it’s remarkably easy to feel comfy here. That is particularly true due to brand-new air conditioning system which keeps the entire apartment cool and comfortable, luxury mattresses and bedding, and the wide sunroom complete with a row of French doors that open out to Juliet balconies that let in the sunshine and fresh air.

Downstairs in this stylish and surprisingly quiet neighbourhood, you’ll find cafés, restaurants and art galleries as well as two grocery stores to stock up on provisions. Not only that, but it's in an excellent location for sightseeing. The charming Gothic Quarter is ten minutes away on foot, as are the green spaces and monuments of Parc de la Ciutadella. Barceloneta Beach is only half an hour's walk away, too.

Home truths:
*There's no private parking but there is a public car park around the corner and Urquinaona metro station is only two minutes' walk away
*The building has a lift to reach this single-level apartment
