White Orchids: Catalonia

If you're planning a fantastic trip to the vibrant city of Barcelona, you can't go wrong with this lavish apartment. Located in the Eixample district, one of the city's best-loved areas, it's the perfect place to kick back and relax between your sightseeing trips.

The apartment is super spacious, with room for up to eight guests to settle in and get comfortable. You'll love the traditional touches throughout the home, from the wooden ceiling beams and the patterned tiles to the huge windows with sage green shutters. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need to cook up a delicious feast using fresh local ingredients – don't forget a bottle of Rioja to accompany your meal. And there's no better place to relax at the end of a busy day than the large private balcony – get comfortable and watch the world go by below.

Eixample is known for its grand boulevards and elegant architecture which houses a range of independent restaurants and boutiques. Fans of Gaudí's work will be delighted that the iconic Sagrada Familia is less than ten minutes away on foot, and Casa Mila is the same distance away in the opposite direction. And, if you want to explore other parts of the city, you can take the metro from Verdaguer Station – it's just a five-minute stroll away.
