Rent Apartment Marfil Spain

Located right by the Parc de la Ciutadella, surrounded by museums and galleries, and within easy reach of the golden sands of Barcelona’s beautiful, bustling beaches, this character-filled three-bedroom home for up to eight guests offers a cosy, funky, and utterly charming base from which to set off and delve beneath the surface of the effervescent Catalan capital.

In the heart of Eixample Dret, just a stone’s throw away from the beach and the vibrant city centre of Barcelona lies this cosy yet stylish split-level home that effortlessly captures the essence of laid-back bohemian living: an inviting home away from home that we think offers a truly delightful experience for anyone seeking comfort and style in a prime location.

Upon entering, you’ll be greeted by the warm and welcoming living area, a space that exudes a sense of effortless relaxation and laid-back charm. The open-plan design seamlessly combines the seating and dining areas, creating a fluid space perfect for entertaining friends or simply unwinding after a day of exploration. The main living area then opens into a double bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, adding to the relaxed bohemian vibe that permeates the whole home.

The bedroom, finished in a neutral palette, offers a peaceful haven for a restful night’s sleep, while the ensuite bathroom features modern fixtures and amenities, ensuring convenience and the perfect space to refresh in the morning or before a night out on the town.

One of the highlights of this charming split-level home is its vibrant private terrace. Step outside and discover a colourful oasis where you can soak up the Catalonian sunshine. Comfortable loungers invite you to recline, unwind, and bask in the warmth of the sun with a good book while enjoying a glass of something cool.

Are you in need of yet more refreshments? Well, you’re in luck, as a shared swimming pool awaits just steps away from the apartment on the fifth floor of the building. Dive into its crystal-clear waters and feel immediately refreshed, ready to dry off on the loungers. All that’s missing now is an ice-cold cerveza. As places to enjoy the long Catalonian summer and get beneath the skin of vibrant Barcelona go, this one certainly ticks a lot of boxes.

This funky three-bedroom home boasts a truly wonderful location close to both the Ciutat Vella and the golden shores of Barceloneta Beach in an area known as Eixample Dret – one of Barcelona’s hippest neighbourhoods known for its narrow streets lined with historical monuments, sites of cultural significance, great restaurants, cafés, and bustling bars – not to mention shops and plenty of atmospheric laneways to peruse. So, let’s get exploring!

The nearby sandy beach at Barceloneta offers a whole host of activities, from sunbathing and swimming to beach volleyball and water sports, ensuring endless entertainment for just about everyone. So, whether you’re hoping to spend your days being active beneath the Spanish sunshine or plan on simply lapping up the atmosphere, Barceloneta Beach really is the place to be on a sun-soaked summer afternoon. Also along this stretch of coastline is the Aquarium Barcelona, one of Europe’s largest aquariums, which provides the perfect family-friendly afternoon out.

You will also find yourself within easy reach of many of Barcelona’s renowned attractions, such as the Gothic Quarter, La Rambla, and the vibrant Port Vell, a bustling marina and waterfront area where you can enjoy a leisurely stroll along the promenade and admire the luxurious yachts.

The city centre is close by, too, and waiting for you there are Barcelona’s most iconic districts, buildings and monuments, such as the Barrio Gótico, El Raval, Plaza Catalunya and the Paseo de Gracia, to name but a few. History buffs and culture vultures may well rejoice, as a veritable plethora of art galleries, museums, and architectural wonders – including those designed by Gaudi – is littered all around these historic areas. One of our favourites has to be the Museu d’Història de Barcelona (MUHBA), which is also just a short distance from the home and showcases the city’s rich past through archaeological artefacts and interactive exhibits.

Alternatively, why not immerse yourself in the local culture by visiting one of Barcelona’s food markets, including that in the Barceloneta neighbourhood and the Boqueria Market located along Las Ramblas? These vibrant markets offer an array of fresh produce, seafood, and loads of local delicacies. Browse through the stalls, sample some tasty treats, and experience the captivating atmosphere of a traditional Spanish market.

Speaking of traditional Spanish atmosphere… You will be spoiled for choice when it comes to the variety of restaurants and popular tapas bars serving an array of freshly prepared, authentic dishes. Indulge in delicious paella, mouthwatering seafood platters, and traditional Catalan dishes at the numerous drinking and dining options in the area. Oh, and don’t miss the opportunity to try the famous "fideuà," a seafood dish similar to paella but made with noodles. When it comes to great food in Barcelona, the choices are truly endless.

The city’s excellent public transportation system makes it easy and convenient to explore further afield, including visiting iconic landmarks like the Sagrada Familia or Park Güell, so no matter how long you choose to stay in this multifaceted city, there is always something new to discover.
