Timeless Modernism in the Heart of Barcelona -A 300 m² Historic Gem with Terrace

Step into Barcelona’s golden age in this magnificent 300 m² residence, located on a beautiful tree-lined pedestrian avenue in the prestigious Quadrat d’Or district — the architectural heart of the city. Once home to Barcelona’s bourgeois elite, this extraordinary apartment was designed in 1890 by the celebrated architect Enric Sagnier, and it offers an exceptional combination of historic grandeur and modern comfort. Its charm and elegance have attracted international attention, with the property featured in AD magazine, and several of its iconic furniture pieces lent to Woody Allen for his acclaimed film Vicky Cristina Barcelona. This unique setting provides an immersive experience of Barcelona’s cultural and artistic heritage, right from the comfort of your home. A city tax of €8.50 per person per night (up to 7 nights) applies and is not included in the rental price.

The apartment is situated on a recently enhanced pedestrian avenue, transformed in 2023 as part of Barcelona’s Superblock Program. Formerly a bustling three-lane street, it has been redesigned into a green and walkable space that offers a peaceful, healthier environment, while remaining fully accessible by taxi. The location places you at the centre of the city, surrounded by some of its most iconic landmarks, excellent restaurants, and boutique shops. A curated guide inside the apartment offers practical recommendations for nearby grocery stores, dining options, and local attractions to help you enjoy the neighborhood like a true local.

The building itself is a magnificent example of Modernist architecture. Upon arrival, you are greeted by a vintage wooden lift, still true to its original design, complete with seating inside — a beautiful detail that reflects the apartment’s rich history. The shared spaces feature elegant white marble and decorative elements that transport you back to Barcelona’s golden era, while the apartment itself has been meticulously renovated to meet the highest contemporary standards of comfort and technology.

Inside, the apartment exudes both warmth and sophistication. Guests are personally welcomed by the hosts or their team, and while check-in officially begins at 4:00 PM, complimentary luggage storage is available from 11:30 AM, allowing you to begin exploring the city while the apartment is prepared. For longer stays of over seven nights, a weekly cleaning service with fresh linens and towels is included, and additional cleaning can be arranged upon request. The entire space is fully air-conditioned with a premium Mitsubishi system installed in 2023, ensuring perfect comfort in every season. High-speed Wi-Fi with a 1 GB/s connection is distributed throughout the flat using three mesh routers, providing strong and reliable coverage in all rooms.

The residence features three elegant bedroom suites, each designed for both privacy and comfort. The master bedroom offers a king-size bed and a spectacular marble en-suite bathroom equipped with a shower, bathtub, toilet, and bidet. The second suite features two queen beds, accommodating up to four guests, and includes a full en-suite bathroom with shower, toilet, and bidet. The third suite has two single beds and its own private bathroom with a shower. All bedrooms are fitted with ample cupboards, allowing plenty of space for storing clothing and luggage, making the apartment ideal for families or groups traveling together.

The main living spaces are equally impressive, designed for relaxation, socializing, and elegant entertaining. The living room is expansive and tastefully decorated, with comfortable sofas and a chaise longue that invite you to unwind. Adjoining the living area is a serene office corner featuring a neoclassical desk and a chillout sofa, perfect for working remotely or reading in peace. The adjacent dining room is centered around a large table that seats up to eight people, ideal for shared meals and special gatherings. French doors from the living room lead onto a private terrace, a rare luxury in central Barcelona. Furnished with a sofa, armchairs, and a spacious table, and shaded by a sun cover, the terrace is the perfect spot to enjoy a quiet breakfast or a glass of wine after a day in the city.

The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you might need, from a Nespresso coffee machine, capsules, and milk frother to bottled water, beer, dishwasher supplies, and a complete set of utensils and appliances. A separate laundry room is conveniently located nearby, featuring both a washing machine and dryer, with easy-to-follow instructions provided in English for guests’ comfort. This thoughtful layout ensures a seamless and self-sufficient stay, whether you are visiting for a few days or several weeks.
