Solstice Dreams

Solstice Dreams: Catalonia

Surrounded by Sant Pere’s ancient streets now packed with indie fashion shops, craft coffee spots, gourmet tapas bars and museums, this wonderfully stylish home may be in the heart of one of Barcelona’s oldest districts, but its decor is nothing short of modern boho elegance.

We love the blend of textures that greets you as soon as you walk through the door with exposed brick walls, beamed ceilings and soft throws creating a laid-back scene in the living area. Kick back on the sofa with a coffee and a good book or perch by the Juliet balcony here with a glass of wine while a record serenades you.

The sleek kitchen beckons homemade tapas feasts to be enjoyed at its chic bench table, while the communal rooftop terrace is the ideal spot to catch some afternoon rays or toast to a day’s adventures over a sundowner or two.

The separate office room is ideal for those needing to mix business with pleasure, and at the end of every night, you’ve got the effortlessly beautiful bedrooms to retreat to for a blissful night’s sleep.

When it comes to exploring nearby, you’re spoilt for choice. Take a stroll through Ciutadella Park, a four-minute walk away, or make a beeline for Barceloneta Beach, twenty minutes away on foot. You’re also an eight-minute walk from the Cathedral of Barcelona and the Gothic Quarter, while the Picasso Museum is a mere one-minute stroll from your front door.
