Light Cymbeline

Rustic charm meets city cool in this beautiful apartment located in Barcelona’s residential Sant Antoni neighbourhood. An ideal spot for those looking to be away from the tourist crowds but within easy reach of the city’s sights, this home is a wonderful base from which to immerse yourself in local living. With its tall beamed ceilings and wood floors, there’s an air of 'Finca' charm to this space. But open up the living room’s French doors that lead out onto a small balcony, and the leafy neighbourhood views of Sant Antoni will anchor you in your chic city setting. We love the wood dining table that invites meals made with fresh produce from Mercat de Sant Antoni (a three-minute walk) and the contemporary sofa that just begs to be relaxed in with a glass of Spanish wine. The two bedrooms are elegantly pared-back, with large windows allowing you to greet the day with beautiful views. Outside of your home, you’re within easy walking distance of another great market – Mercado de La Boqueria – thirteen minutes away on foot, while Plaça d'Espanya is a fifteen-minute stroll from your door. With Barceloneta Beach a ten-minute cycle away and countless restaurants, bars and shops to explore in your immediate locale, you’ve got everything you need for a blissful Barcelona stay.
