Luxury Villa Rentals in Barcelona
Apartments among Gaudí's masterpieces and villas with pools along the coast, from Sitges to the Costa Brava
As featured in
Gaudí, the Mediterranean and dinner at eleven
Barcelona is one of the great cities of Europe, and one of the few with a beach in the middle of it. Gaudí's Sagrada Família, Park Güell and Casa Batlló, the medieval lanes of the Gothic Quarter, the grid of the Eixample with its modernist façades, and a food scene that ranges from market counters to some of the best restaurants in Spain: there is enough here for a long stay.
Our Barcelona collection runs to 400+ properties, from elegant apartments in the Eixample and the old town to villas with private pools in the hills and along the coast towards Sitges and the Costa Brava.
Here is where to stay and how to make the most of the city.

Gaudí, the Gothic Quarter and the Eixample
The Sagrada Família, still being completed more than a century after work began, is the city's great landmark, and Gaudí's Park Güell, Casa Batlló and La Pedrera are close behind. The Gothic Quarter and El Born are full of medieval lanes, squares and tapas bars, and the Boqueria market off the Ramblas is a feast for the eyes. Our concierge can arrange timed tickets and private guides.

A seaside town with a long creative history
Sitges, around 40 minutes south of the city, has an old town of whitewashed lanes, a long string of beaches and a lively restaurant scene. Villas in the hills behind it combine pools and sea views with an easy run into Barcelona and the vineyards of the Penedès, home of cava.

Coves, pine trees and Dalí
North of Barcelona, the Costa Brava is a coast of rocky coves, pine trees and fishing villages such as Cadaqués, Calella de Palafrugell and Tamariu. Inland, medieval villages and Girona's old town are close by, and Figueres has the Dalí Theatre-Museum.

Tapas, cava and a late dinner
Barcelona eats late and well: tapas at the bar, seafood at Barceloneta, Catalan classics such as pa amb tomàquet and crema catalana, and cava from the Penedès. Spring and early autumn are the best times to visit; Montserrat, with its mountain monastery, is a fine day trip. Our concierge can arrange a private chef, food tours, wine tasting and restaurant reservations.

The right house, not the nearest one
Barcelona's properties range from city apartments to coastal villas, and we know which suit sightseeing and which suit a beach holiday. With 400+ properties in Barcelona, we can usually find the house that suits you rather than the one that happens to be free. Search by size, pool, location and price, or tell us what you have in mind and we will put together a shortlist.
Book direct
You book with us directly, with no booking fees. Questions about access roads, pool heating or how far it really is to the nearest beach go to people who can find out the answer.
A concierge who knows the territory
Private guides for the Sagrada Família and the Gothic Quarter, timed tickets, food and wine tours, boat trips, a private chef and restaurant reservations. Our concierge team arranges all of it, leaving you free to decide which terrace to sit on.
A house for every kind of party
Couples, families with small children, three generations together or a crowd of friends celebrating a birthday: we match the house to the group, down to the number of bathrooms and whether the pool is fenced.
