Luxury Apartment Right in the City Centre with Huge Roof Terrace
Very close to all the Sights, Shops and walking distance to the Beach
Sleeps 6 (3 Bedrooms)
|
|
This large and luxurious apartment is located right in the centre of Barcelona in the El Born area. A mere 5-minute stroll to the most famous streets and sights of this fascinating city, with Gaudi and Picasso just around the corner and the beach at Barceloneta only 10 minutes away on foot, you couldn't be better located. The famous Ramblas and the Cathedral can be spotted from the roof-terrace and with the metro just up the road accessing Sagrada Familia is very 'facile'. Should you wish to do some retail therapy all the shops are situated very close by and a whole day can be spent picking from Prada to Promod. Restaurants and bars are literally across the square and should you wish to get out of town, Plaza Catalunya is 5 minutes away where you can take a train to the beautiful Costa Brava for day trips.

There is a roof terrace with views of the city's cathedral. Guests are provided with a key on request for occasional use. However please note that the key has to be requested in advance and not on arrival.
Coast/Beach
Even though this wonderful apartment is in the city centre the beach is accessible on foot within 15 minutes, or 5 minutes via metro which is a mere 2 minutes walk away. Combining a city break with sun bathing at the beach is one of the main reasons to visit Barcelona.
Travel
Barcelona El Prat airport is 16km away and will cost guests c.30 euros to the apartment. Driving is not recommended as guests will have to pay for parking in the near by NCP and it isn't cheap.
Distances
The famous Las Ramblas and Barceloneta Beach are both a pleasant 10 minute walk away. However unfolding languidly just to the east of C./ Banys Vell is Parc Ciutadella. The grandest entrance to the park is the Arc de Triomf and passing through the grand gates and into this green, tranquil oasis provides a welcome respite from the city centre with Guadi influences being spotted all around. If Picasso is more your thing, you are a mere 2 minutes away from the museum.

Guest comments
From The Roberts Family - October 2007:
This is the most beautiful apartment we have EVER stayed in. It is right in the city centre and we only have to walk out the door and into the bustle of Barcelona. We have had a truly wonderful time and will be back next year.
From Helen O'Connor and the Girls: April 2008
This really is living! Right in the heart of El Born, this beautiful 3 bedroom apartment is breath-taking. Furnished and finished to a high standard and with stunning views from the roof-terrace, where we bbq'ed with a back-drop of the cathedral.
Reserving and booking was easy and straightforward and we were met by George on time and given a comprehensive guide to the local area and to the apartment. He could not have been more helpful and even came out late at night when I foolishly locked myself out!
We highly recommend staying here, it has everything you need and the best postcode in town. Also very well priced for the size, space and location.
