PLA PALAU Apartment

PLA PALAU Apartment

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 building 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. So when are you coming?
