You’ll find endless relaxation in this jungle-reminiscent apartment, located in Barcelona’s central Eixample neighbourhood.

With its exposed brick walls, domed ceiling, bespoke neon lighting, Brazilian art and a plethora of plants, there’s a laid-back vibe here that instantly makes you feel like you're in a beachy haven. Our favourite spot in the home is the balcony with its wicker rocking chair and shaded cover. Start mornings off here with a cup of coffee before getting some work done in the cosy workspace. Then, set out to see the sights with ​​Gaudí’s beautiful Casa Milà a ten-minute walk away and Casa Batlló less than a fifteen-minute stroll. You'll also find leafy Las Ramblas a twenty-minute stroll away and La Sagrada Familia walkable in just under thirty minutes.

After a day of sightseeing, come back home for a glass of wine on the sofa while you listen to some tunes on the record player. The kitchen’s column of hanging herbs invites you to cook up a feast to enjoy at the industrial-style dining table when you're not out sampling the local tapas scene. And when sleep beckons, retreat to the calm bedrooms – we're particularly fond of the main bedroom's four-poster – where a serene night's sleep awaits.
