Modernista A Apartment Barcelona

Idyllically situated in the leafy and fashionable Eixample district, this Barcelona accommodation boasts not only a culturally and architecturally rich neighbourhood but also grants instant access to the historical city centre, with the focal core of Plaza de Catalunya reachable in less than ten minutes on foot. Conceived in the mid 19th century by the visionary mind of Catalan’s own Ildefons Cerda, Eixample appears incredibly pleasant, laid back and liberal, and benefits from a multitude of hip bars, traditional cafes and an excellent array of restaurants offering a variety of international cuisines. The area is also brimming with exclusive boutiques and art galleries, centred on and around the most chic boulevard in Barcelona, Passeig de Gracia, which is literally minutes from your doorstep. This prestigious, tree lined avenue houses a striking collection of the city’s best examples of flamboyant Modernist architecture, including of course the celebrated works of Antoni Gaudi.

Amongst the artist’s finest achievements are the magnificent structures of Casa Batllo and Casa Mila, two of the most photographed buildings in the city. Each displaying unique and captivating exteriors, the true depth of imagination behind these masterpieces cannot be fully appreciated without a fascinating tour of their respective interiors, highly recommended for all visitors.
