Purple Crocus

Purple Crocus: Catalonia

With a trendy grey colour scheme, calming purple accents and plenty of mod-cons, this apartment in the elegant Eixample district is a must for first time visitors and return travellers. Spend slow-start mornings lounging about on the chaise end sofa before perching at the breakfast bar with some fresh pastries and a cup of milky coffee. If you're visiting on business, the dedicated desk space makes remote working a piece of cake.

When you’re ready to get to know your surroundings, Gaudí’s Casa Batlló is in close proximity and you’re within walking distance of Barcelona Cathedral. After a leisurely lunch in an old-school tapas bar, wander around Ciutadella Park or catch the bus to Barceloneta Beach for an afternoon of sunbathing on the crescent of golden sand.
