The High Life

The High Life: Catalonia

With 360-degree views overlooking the entire city from the panoramic windows and outdoor space – this really is a place to savour the good times. There are three (yes three) terraces to enjoy the Barcelona sunshine on – pour a glass of cava and totally unwind on the sun loungers, relish an alfresco lunch or cool off in the outdoor showers. Playful and expertly designed, the modular living areas of this penthouse let you adjust the space – shutting off or opening up bedrooms – as you wish. The sleek kitchen with a floating countertop is social and inviting – it’s the perfect place to entertain. Out and about, take advantage of all the bars, cafes and restaurants this district has to offer (your host can make reservations for you). If you love art, head to the Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art, a ten-minute stroll away. Mercat de Sant Antoni, a vibrant market full of fresh produce, is just over a five-minute saunter, or for more shopping opportunities – check out Las Ramblas, a fifteen-minute wander. It's the same walking distance to Plaça de Catalunya, while Barcelona Cathedral is twenty minutes on foot. Basically, there are more attractions nearby than you can shake a stick at.

Home truths:
*The elevator only goes to the seventh floor, so you have to climb a staircase to reach this home
* The pillows are anti-allergy ones
*Although it provides privacy from the communal area, when the master bedroom's sliding wall is shut, there are no windows
