In Catalan, the word joia means both “jewel” and “happiness”, which might give you a clue as to why this apartment is so called. If it doesn’t, then we’ll explain it all to you.
It’s hard to sum up in just a few words why Joia Pla de Palau is such a gem.
First there’s the unrivalled location, right in the heart of El Born, on the Plaza Pla de Palau, formerly the main square of commercial Barcelona. And there’s the listed building, an eclectic construction built in the historicist style in the mid-19th century using the same stone as the Basilica de Santa Maria del Mar, which lies just a few yards away from the apartment.
Then there’s the uniqueness of the space itself, an area of 200m² all to yourself and superbly distributed. Filled with light thanks to the balconies overlooking the square, the lounge is a diaphanous space that connects to a wonderful open-plan kitchen. The master bedroom, with its double bed bathed in light from the balconies, is linked to a private bathroom, a wall-to-wall wardrobe and a second eat-in kitchen to form a unique space that you can open out to the lounge if you wish. The second bedroom also has a double bed and second private bathroom with its own balconies.
There’s also the original décor and the warmth of the furnishings and fittings. Newly refurbished,the apartment is decked out with luxury materials and furniture, in keeping with the latest architectural trends. The urban art PASTE UP mural, which fuses techniques such as graffiti and wheatpaste, contrasts with the original 19th-century walls and ceilings, while the top-of-the-range kitchen even has a wine cellar. As for the armchairs, sofa and other furniture, you’ll see for yourself as soon as you walk in that nothing has been left to chance.
And finally, there’s the host of modern comforts: air conditioning, underfloor heating, lift, an allocated parking space, and the Lodging team at your service to organise everything you need.
And JOIA PLA DE PALAU is also happiness, because that’s how you’ll feel when you wake up every day.
And when you head out to explore the city, make the most of your location. The options are limitless.
Lose yourself in the narrow streets of El Born on a quest for medieval legends. Have a coffee or a beer and olives in one of the bars lining your street.
