PLA PALAU

PLA PALAU

Few apartments in Barcelona ooze as much character as this.

The bare brick walls and high Catalan-vault ceilings are a reminder that we are in a buildingv that dates to the 1800s. The lounge boasts a comfortable sofa and stunning solid wood dining table, while its walls feature some truly original décor: a mural, the flowers on the wall and the bright green tiles that contrast with the kitchen’s white modern, minimalism. Its island will delight the chefs among you.

There’s more than one surprise in store on the balcony: aside from the monkeys that welcome you, there are also majestic views of the Pla de Palau, the market square of medieval Barcelona and a gateway for everything that arrived in the city from the sea.

Follow the hallway and you come to the stylish bathroom and its spacious shower. Next up is the single bedroom with its charming decorative touches and a small desk, just in case you’ve got no option but to work during your stay.

Finally, there’s the large double room with king-size bed and TV, which you might want to turn on for the news or even a film before you nod off for the night.

And what can we tell you about the location? Surrounded by the medieval streets of El Born and looking out to Barceloneta and the sea, there are few parts of Barcelona as ideally situated as this.

Our recommendations? Eat on the terrace at Sagás, which is right next door. All the meat in its sandwiches come from its farm in the little village of the same name. You can also try the terrace at El Pasadís del Pep, a well-known restaurant. If ice-cream is your thing, Gocce di Latte serves up the very best in Barcelona. Just a minute away lies the Basílica de Santa María del Mar. Climb up to its terraces and you’ll be rewarded with some wonderful views (one of the city's best-kept secrets).You can also stroll along El Passeig del Born and check out the Centro Cultural to find out more about the history of Catalunya.

We could go on for hours, but we’ll leave the rest for you to discover on your own.

We’re ready and waiting to welcome you. And so’s your apartment. When can we expect you?

House rules

Welcome to Barcelona! We are delighted to have you with us and hope you have an amazing time at our apartment. To make sure your trip goes smoothly, here are some basic ground rules that we kindly ask you to follow.

Please take the neighbours into consideration

We would appreciate it if you could keep any noise to a minimum after 10pm (so no parties or loud music, please) and to avoid letting doors slam shut or making too much noise when
entering and leaving the building. Your holiday is important to us, but so is the well-being of your neighbours, who still need to go about their everyday lives in peace and tranquility. Any guests who cause a disturbance by hosting a party or such like will be asked to leave the apartment immediately (no refund will be made in such circumstances). Please also be aware that you are not allowed to have more guests staying at the apartment than indicated in your reservation.

Keys and check-out

Please do not leave the keys in the mailbox when vacating the apartment. If you leave earlier than your check-out time, please leave the keys on the table and pull the door shut behind you.
The doors to most of our apartments do not need to be locked when you leave, which makes it very easy for you to lock yourself out. To avoid this, make sure you keep the key with you
whenever you leave the apartment and lock the door yourself.

No smoking!

Smoking is not allowed in the apartment. If you have to smoke, please go outside.

Save energy

We kindly ask you to please turn the lights and air conditioning units OFF whenever you leave the apartment.

Extras

Additional cleaning, bedding, etc. can be arranged for longer stays. Please request this when making your booking.
