About this property
Located close to the Parc de la Ciutadella, in the heart of a vibrant area known as Eixample Dret, just a stone's throw away from the beach and the effervescent city centre that's filled with museums and galleries, sits this stylish three-bedroom home.
Entering the home's chic and contemporary spaces, see an open-plan kitchen, living, and dining area that oozes style and sophistication. The chic grey palette lends an elegant and contemporary touch to the communal areas, creating a sense of harmony and cohesion throughout, while the large windows allow plenty of natural light to flow in and designer-influenced touches elevate the overall feel. Whether cooking up a storm in the sleek granite-top kitchen, enjoying the fruits of your labour at the dining table with loved ones or unwinding on the plush sofa, the ever-changing city views are a constant source of inspiration and intrigue.
Adjoining the living room, separated by a sliding door, is the inviting master bedroom with its ensuite marble bathroom and deep bathtub. The large floor-to-ceiling windows continue from the living space into the bedroom, allowing sunlight to stream in and casting a warm glow over the room. The curtains are opened up to embrace the Catalan morning light. The spaciousness of the master bedroom combined with the extended city views creates a tranquil retreat to relax and recharge after a long day, perhaps with a long, hot soak in that luxurious tub.
Further down the hall are the rest of the sleeping areas, which consist of single beds and so are great for children or teens sharing or for groups of friends travelling together. An additional family bathroom offers the perfect space to refresh in the morning or rejuvenate before an evening out in the hip Catalan capital. The beautiful balcony with a cosy seating area is accessible from these very inviting single rooms. It offers a lovely spot to start the day with an aromatic freshly brewed coffee as the neighbourhood's daily life begins to unfold around you.
Additionally, guests of this apartment have access to the building's communal rooftop pool. This fabulous amenity offers a refreshing escape from the bustling streets below, allowing one to take a dip and soak up the Mediterranean sun while enjoying panoramic views of Barcelona's iconic landmarks.
This cool and contemporary three-bedroom home boasts a great location close to both the Ciutat Vella and the golden shores of Barceloneta Beach in an area known as Eixample Dret – one of Barcelona's hippest neighbourhoods known for its narrow streets lined with historical monuments, sites of cultural significance, great restaurants, cafés, and bustling bars – not to mention shops and plenty of atmospheric laneways to peruse.
The Eixample Dret neighbourhood of Barcelona is known as one of the city's most remarkable – and that really is some feat in a city as funky as the Catalan capital! Its narrow streets are bursting with life and house an incredible variety of cafés, restaurants, and tapas bars to satisfy all your food cravings. The range of flavours is truly staggering, mixing international influences with robust local favourites.
Fans of tapas are in luck! For Eixample Dret has some top-notch tapas options where you can feast on mouth-watering Mediterranean and Spanish dishes that showcase the essence and fresh produce of the region. Soak up the laid-back, local vibes, dive into the rich Catalan culture, and savour delicious bites accompanied by the best Spanish wines or a pitcher of chilled Sangria. Que bueno!
The apartment is also within easy reach of many of the city's other iconic neighbourhoods. Spend the day meandering through the Gothic Quarter, take in the wonderful cacophony of sights and sounds that animate La Rambla, or peruse vibrant Port Vell: a bustling marina and waterfront area where you can enjoy a leisurely stroll along the promenade lined by high-end restaurants and admire the luxurious yachts. Throughout this part of the city, it's difficult not to stumble upon ornate buildings and emblematic monuments, such as those in the Barrio Gótico, El Raval, Plaza Catalunya and the Paseo de Gracia, to name but a few.
History buffs and culture vultures may well rejoice, as a veritable plethora of art galleries, museums, and architectural wonders – including those designed by Gaudi – is littered around these historic areas. One of our favourites is the Museu d'Història de Barcelona (muhba), which is also just a short distance from the home and showcases the city's rich past through archaeological artefacts and interactive exhibits.
Alternatively, why not immerse yourself in the local culture by visiting one of Barcelona's food markets, including the Barceloneta neighbourhood and the Boqueria Market along La Rambla? These vibrant markets offer an array of fresh produce, seafood, and loads of local delicacies. Browse through the stalls, sample some tasty treats, and experience the captivating atmosphere of a traditional Spanish market.
The nearby sandy beach at Barceloneta offers a whole host of activities, from sunbathing and swimming to beach volleyball and water sports, ensuring endless entertainment for just about everyone. Also along this stretch of coastline is the Aquarium Barcelona, one of Europe's largest aquariums, which provides the perfect family-friendly afternoon out.
The city's excellent public transportation system makes it easy and convenient to explore further afield, including visiting iconic landmarks like the Sagrada Familia or Park Güell, so no matter how long you choose to stay in this multifaceted city, there is always something new to discover.
