Raffia Retreat

Raffia Retreat: Catalonia

You’d expect an apartment in the dynamic and culturally rich city of Barcelona to be as remarkable as its surroundings and that’s exactly what this home is. Teeming with organic textures and touches of elegant greys, the interior exudes style and thoughtful details that create the perfect haven for a bit of rest and repose during your city break. Soothing tones alongside jute and rattan furnishings add an extra layer of warmth and comfort to the space, so even your time indoors will be a holiday well spent. Sit out on the balcony and watch the sun set over the rooftops before enjoying a candlelit dinner and some soulful tunes on the record player. Plenty of fun awaits outside as well with the fantastic restaurants and high-end boutiques in central Eixample to discover, and the beaches of Bogatell and Nova Icària are less than fifteen minutes away by car.

Home truths:
*The second bedroom doubles as a walk-in closet with a sofa bed that's suitable for one guest
*As this home is in one of Barcelona’s most popular areas, some city and street noise is to be expected – light sleepers may want to pack earplugs just in case
*There is only air conditioning in some rooms
