Terracotta Retreat

Terracotta Retreat: Catalonia

If you’ve ever fancied living the life of a local in Barcelona, here’s a nice option for a base. Set in bustling Eixample, you are only paces away from a Sangria-fuelled feast in one of the many excellent bars and restaurants nearby. If you’re planning on hanging around for a while and need to stock up on essentials, there are lots of handy shops close by too.
Now back to the home – all of those cool neutrals and clean lines mean the vibe here is chic and serene. Terracotta tiles and house plants add that all-important homely and cosy feel. So, yes, it might feel like living on the set of an Elle Decoration shoot, but with a big hug thrown in for good measure. Which sounds pretty perfect to us. Connect a playlist to the bluetooth speaker while you’re there. If you’re on a ‘work-cation’, there's also a fab spot to set up a laptop – a custom-built desk facing the huge windows.

Home truths:
*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
