An Art Nouveau Apartment in Eixample
A 70-square-meter, third floor view apartment with a generous bay window looking towards Plaça Catalunya one way and Plaça Universitat from the other, this warm, Art Nouveau era apartment oozes classic charms.
Located in the heart of Barcelona at the edge of the elegant Eixample District and the historic Gothic Quarter, the charming penthouse offers chic sophistication and easy access to the best of the city. Its Art Nouveau building has been thoroughly renovated, and the third floor location offers the best of the neighborhood's sights and sounds, generously ensconced in a peaceful hideaway above the hustle and bustle.
The elegantly renovated interiors feature warm earth tones and modern finishes paired with rustic exposed brick and classic details from the building's early period including the French windows and doors that open out to the views. The main living area is cozy and inviting with the tall bay window adding to the chic mix of modern and traditional pieces, including furnishings designed by Roberto Barbieri. The room shares the space with a sleek open-plan kitchen and dining area for four.
Each of the two bedrooms has a French balcony with original doors and both rooms are set with refined, king-sized, four poster beds decked out in crisp white and embroidered linens, with soundproof doors for a peaceful night.

Located at the edge of the elegant Eixample neighborhood, a short stroll away from Passeig de Gracia and Rambla Catalunya, the street is praised by locals for being one of the nicest in central Barcelona. Quiet and walkable, there is an excellent selection of good restaurants, shops and galleries.
Sometimes referred to as the Cuadrado de Oro, it's the epicenter for modernism in Barcelona and features the work of modernist architects Antoní Gaudi (the famous La Pedrera is just a short walk from the apartment), Enric Sagnier and Doménech I Muntaner. Gayxample, the gay district, is also in Eixample and is a lively, cosmopolitan area.
