Taulat Lila Spain
Holiday Home Rental Description
Taulat Lila is a unique, relaxed, fully air-conditioned 5 bedroomed detached holiday house sleeping up to 10 guests in the fabulous city of Barcelona. This whitewashed modern vibe house utilises the original features of this historic building to create a clean, fresh interior with an industrial feel.
Located on the outskirts of the city in the district of Sants-Montjuic, this has a more laid back ambience than the city centre. There is a convenient supermarket and a few restaurants close to hand, and there is a bus stop and train station just a short stroll away, connecting you to the historical centre in mere minutes. A tip for public transport travel is to purchase a T10 pack of tickets which, at 10 euros, are half the price of individual tickets.
Taulat Lila is a fabulous property for families and groups of friends. Lovingly renovated in 2011, you can expect simple, clean lines with a cool grey and white pallet. The open style concept incorporates painted brick walls and exposed beams, interesting woods, high ceilings and a cosy open style mezzanine housing a sleeping area divided by glass and wood.
The layout of the house accommodates the features of the historical building so expect the unexpected!
The bright, airy double-height open style living-dining room space has a laid back elegance and offers a large comfortable L shaped seating area with a wall-mounted TV. The modern open kitchen offers a hob, oven, microwave, dishwasher and fridge freezer and is perfect for rustling up tasty delights to enjoy at the large communal table, or you could step through the huge glass sliding doors to your private oasis on the outside terrace and fire up the barbeque and enjoy some alfresco dining.
Kids big and small are going to absolutely love having their very own secluded plunge pool on the terrace, and with comfy loungers and shady trees, this is a perfect spot for long cool drinks and lazy sunshiny days.
There are 5 compact, simple, and unusual bedrooms offering flexible sleeping arrangements perfect for family groups. Each sleeping area has 2 single beds, and the property offers 3 modern bathrooms 1 with bath/shower and WC, 1 with shower/WC and a separate shower room.
For your convenience, the property has air conditioning and Wi-Fi along with laundry facilities, including, a washing machine, dryer and iron and an extra bonus is an outside shower on the balcony.
Taulat Lila Is unique, simple and comfortable, a tranquil laid back retreat after hectic adventures exploring this marvellous city and beautiful coastline.The Capital of Catalunya, a region of Northern Spain, Barcelona is a one of a kind city that has its own unique culture, traditions and personality. Offering an amazing diversity of cultural experiences alongside beautiful beaches a short walk away from the centre, it is not surprising Barcelona is Spain’s most popular city.
Taulat Lila enjoys a great position for you to really get a feel of Barcelona.
You are very well connected to the historic centre of Barcelona, (the nearest metro takes 10 minutes to the centre) and there is so much to see and do.
Ciutat Vella is Barcelona’s ‘Old Town’; here you can find the main boulevard ‘La Rambla’ probably the liveliest street in Barcelona, 1200 metres long, with street performers, music and impressive human statues. This people magnet is also home to the colourful Boquera Market with a great selection of local produce. La Rambla is a fabulous place to try Tapas or simply grab a long cool drink at one of the many terraces and people watch! From here, you can meander down to the Port of Barcelona to look at the beautiful marina and stroll along the promenade or visit the beach.
Off La Ramblas, you can find the labyrinth of The Gothic quarter. Narrow streets and alleyways lined with medieval buildings house artisan shops and authentic culinary experiences, and Historic churches and the spectacular Barcelona Cathedral are hidden gems to be discovered along with beautiful squares, including Placa Reial, a place of outdoor cafes and summer concerts.
Barcelona has some of the most amazing architecture in the world, the most famous being Antonio Gaudi’s La Sagrada Familia Basilica which is a truly stunning work of art and an absolute must-see; if you have the time, visit Park Guell, a magical park, to see some more wonderful examples of his work.
The influence of great painters and artists is evident throughout the city, and Barcelona is an art lover’s delight. The Picasso Museum (Museu Picasso) is the most visited art gallery in Barcelona. The Gallery is home to one of the world’s largest collections of Picasso’s artwork and costs Euro 12 for the main exhibition area. Other noteworthy museums are The Fundacio Joan Miro, The Museum of Modern Art (MNAC) and Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art (MACBA), but there are plenty more to choose from.
Barcelona really has so much to see and do; it can be overwhelming, so it’s worth taking a look at tours on offer. A fun option for the family is to navigate Barcelona on a Segway tour, approx. £40 per person and lasting two hours, tours start from Arc de Triomf, and sights include the old Port Vell harbour, Barcelona Zoo, Port Olympic, Parc de la Ciutadella and the exciting labyrinth of the gothic centre.At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
