Overview

This apartment combines the very old and the brand new in a very unique way.

With its preserved ancient walls, the apartment marks a history going back to the origins of this 16th century palacio. 3 levels were added on top of this building that houses a fashion and interior design shop and a restaurant on its ground level.

The building is located in the middle of the bustling old city centre called El Borne or La Ribera, near calle Flassaders, which is one of the streets in El Borne with plenty of designer boutiques and delicatessen shops.

Slender Iron columns, dark cedar floors and light grey sofa elements add a distinguished sense of style and luxury to the apartment.
The 75m2 (805 Sq. ft.) open space is ideal for both individual business travellers looking for a high quality accommodation as well as romantic couples enjoying the intimacy and comfort of an aesthetically pleasing home. The living and kitchen area look out on an ample and light inner patio which used to be the former entrance to the palacio.
Its spacious and calm interior combined with its great location (right next to the Picasso Museum) makes this a more than fitting destination to come home to.

Location & area

Step outside the apartment and you're right in the center of town, called La Ribera or El Born.

Shop for the latest in fashion, interior decoration or art. Have lunch at one of the area's countless restaurants. Get inspired at the many, many museums in and around El Born. Or just wander about in the streets and look up in complete awe at the amazing architecture.



Socialise with the Spanish and international crowd at, say, a cocktail lounge, a traditional tapas bar, or at one of the 'terrazas' in the narrow, winding streets. Or stroll a little further and kick back at the beach, either in the sand or at one of those elegant yet informal beach clubs.
