Reclaimed Utopia

Reclaimed Utopia: Catalonia

With playful patterns and carefully curated artwork, this home is full of fun. Eco-design is more than a catchphrase here. Your hosts have used simple design principles and natural materials to create a warm and earthy look while remaining faithful to opulent Catalan Modernism.

Your hosts have committed to using recycled luxury materials. However, when that's not been possible, they've made sure only to use recyclable ones, making this city-centre apartment a fantastic choice for the eco-conscious traveller.

Located on the border of Barcelona's El Born and Eixample districts, you couldn't be better placed to explore the Catalan capital. The majestic Arc de Triomf is just a four-minute walk away, while the 15th-century cathedral is no more than ten minutes away on foot. So after pounding the pavement, why not head to the iconic Barceloneta beach, where you can soak up some sun and frolic in the surf.
