Contemporary comfort within a turn of the century setting. The ideal
solution for a family or group break, in a home from home near the
centre of Barcelona. Built at the turn of the century, this 3 bedroom
apartment in the L'Eixample area of Barcelona is just a 15 minute
walk from the heart of the Plaza Catalunya and Ramblas district.
The accommodation has undergone sympathetic restoration, retaining
its traditional character whilst offering modern facilities including
bathroom and fitted kitchen, central heating and air conditioning.
The 3 metre high ceilings retain their traditional mouldings, the
floors feature the original, restored encaustic tiles while shuttered
windows and tall, elegant doors complete the turn of the century
ambience. Full height fitted wardrobes with antique doors provide
ample storage space, which completes the overall period feel. One
of the particular features of the flat is its iron and glass "Galeria"
(similar to "conservatory" space) and separate balcony,
which face the sun all day long.
The immediate area around the apartment is alive with shops and restaurants
serving the local people and dominated by the hub of the landmark
Mercat Sant Antoni, possibly the best indoor market in Barcelona.
This location offers all the advantages of local living, the "real
Spain" or "real Catalonia", while being centrally
located for the architecture, museums, beaches, cuisine and nightlife
Barcelona is famous for.
