Paprika & Clove

Right in the heart of the trendy Eixample area, this home is simply drop-dead gorgeous. Styled to perfection by local interior designers, there's an Indonesian-Catalan fusion going on here – and we love it. Ideal for longer stays, there's a fully kitted-out kitchen, two stylish bedrooms and bathrooms, and plenty of space to relax in. A traditional balcony runs the length of the living space and both bedrooms boast Juliet balconies so there's no shortage of natural light and fresh air if you want it.

But by far our favourite thing about this home is its access to the building's shared rooftop terrace – which just happens to include a pool. Grab a sun lounger and read your book, or just take a quick dip to keep cool. Surrounded by excellent bars and restaurants, there's plenty to keep you occupied within easy walking distance, and the local architecture is a treat for the design-obsessed.
