Villavecchia

Villavecchia: Catalonia

Just a short walk from Casa Batlló, this cosy apartment puts you right at the heart of city life. In just a few minutes, you can be exploring the Plaça de Catalunya and the cobbled streets of the Gothic Quarter, not to mention the local cafes and restaurants in Eixample. Though on the small side, there's enough space for couples or friends to unwind. You can even enjoy some Mediterranean indoor-outdoor living – just open the sliding doors to the private balcony. The small workspace in one of the bedrooms is ideal if you need to keep up with what's going on at home. Spend your days exploring the sights of Barcelona, then return to your apartment and relax on the balcony with a drink and your favourite album on the record player.

Home truths:
*This apartment is on the small side
*Remember to bring your own shampoo, as there isn't any provided
*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
