Casa Pujades | 4-Bedroom Apartment in Barcelona

Barcelona rewards those who choose accommodation within walking distance of the sea. Casa Pujades, a contemporary duplex penthouse spanning 130 square metres across two levels, delivers exactly this: ocean proximity paired with metropolitan sophistication. This four-bedroom residence sleeps eight guests in Sant Marti, one of Barcelona’s most liveable neighbourhoods, just 900 metres from Selva de Mar metro station and a straightforward 15-minute walk from the Mediterranean coastline.

Inside Casa Pujades

Casa Pujades sleeps 8 guests across 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, distributed intelligently across two connected floors. The lower level houses the master bedroom—a retreat with its own walk-in wardrobe and ensuite bathroom—alongside two further twin rooms, each with independent balcony access and harbour-facing outlooks. A utility zone with both washing machine and tumble dryer sits discreetly on this floor, alongside a separate family bathroom serving the secondary bedrooms. The upper storey contains a fourth twin bedroom and guest toilet, with dedicated balcony access from the sleeping quarters. This vertical split means parents can occupy the principal suite while children sleep nearby on the first floor, or four unrelated guests can each claim private accommodation.

The main living floor—which functions as the social heart—stretches across 130 square metres of open-plan space. A capacious living area sits adjacent to a dining zone accommodating six seated diners, with both spaces opening directly onto a south-facing balcony with city panoramas. Kitchen facilities occupy an integrated zone with breakfast seating, comprehensively equipped with dishwasher, microwave, and coffee maker. Satellite television and DVD player come standard. The architectural choice to split sleeping from living across two storeys creates genuine spatial breathing room—a rarity in urban Barcelona apartments. Each bedroom, regardless of size or position, connects to outdoor terrace space, allowing guests to regulate natural light and ventilation independently.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The wraparound balcony system defines the external character of Casa Pujades. Rather than a single communal terrace, each bedroom can access its own private balcony segment, creating multiple vantage points across the Sant Marti neighbourhood and towards the city centre. The primary terrace—accessed from both living room and dining area—accommodates a small table with seating, positioned to capture afternoon light. At sunset, this balcony becomes the focal point where guests gravitate for evening drinks before heading to nearby restaurants. The multiple outdoor zones mean that one guest group can occupy the bedroom terraces while others use the main entertaining space, eliminating the bottleneck common in compact Barcelona apartments. Safety features include a protective box for valuables.

Location: Barcelona and the Surrounding Area

Sant Marti district occupies Barcelona’s eastern flank, historically industrial and increasingly residential, with a character distinct from the tourist-heavy Gothic Quarter. Casa Pujades positions guests 900 metres from Selva de Mar metro station on the L4 line, providing direct access to Passeig de Gràcia (where Gaudí’s Casa Batlló and La Pedrera stand) in approximately 20 minutes, and the Sagrada Família basilica in roughly 25 minutes. The district itself offers relaxed cafés, independent shops, and a neighbourhood market on Carrer del Perelló—the charcuteria immediately adjacent to Casa Pujades stocks Iberian ham and local cheeses, ideal for morning picnics before the beach.

Barceloneta Beach lies 900 metres south—a 12-minute walk along Passeig Marítim de la Barceloneta, where sand meets promenade restaurants serving fresh seafood. The broader Mediterranean coast extends for 4.5km of accessible beaches: Bogatell Beach (2.5km south, quieter and less crowded than Barceloneta), Mar Bella Beach (1.8km south, featuring free sports facilities and a more local atmosphere), and the designated naturist section at further intervals. Swimming conditions are excellent from May through October; water temperature peaks at 24°C in August and September. Winter months see calmer seas but water temperatures dropping to 13°C. The Port Vell (Old Harbour) lies 3.5km southwest, where Barcelona’s maritime heritage is preserved in the Maritime Museum and Columbus Monument.

Montjuïc, the hillside cultural district 4km southwest, hosts multiple major museums—the National Art Museum, Joan Miró Foundation, and MNAC contemporary gallery—plus botanical gardens and the Olympic Stadium from the 1992 Games. The Gothic Quarter (Barri Gòtic) occupies 2.5km to the west: a labyrinth of medieval streets, the Cathedral of Barcelona, and countless tapas bars within Plaça Reial. For day trips, Colònia Güell industrial heritage site lies 30km southwest near Montserrat, while Montserrat monastery and rock formations themselves sit 40km further inland—both accessible by train from Plaça d’Espanya in under one hour. The Garraf vineyards and wine region sprawl 40km south beyond Sitges, offering organised tastings and bodega visits.

Barcelona-El Prat Airport (BCN), the primary international gateway, lies 12km southwest; approximately 25 minutes by car via the C-32 motorway, or 35 minutes by metro (R2 line from nearby stations). Girona-Costa Brava Airport (GRO), serving secondary European connections, sits 90km northeast—roughly 90 minutes by car. The city’s tram network (T4 and T5 lines) connects Sant Marti directly to beachfront destinations. Cycling infrastructure is extensive; bicycle rental shops operate throughout the neighbourhood. The Montjuïc Cable Car (Telefèric del Port) offers aerial vistas across the harbour for approximately €11 per adult. Boat hire and sailing excursions depart from Port Vell, typically €150–300 for half-day charters.

Best-time seasonality: April-May sees temperatures of 18–22°C, wildflower blooms on coastal paths, and manageable tourist numbers before summer peaks. June-September brings 28–32°C heat, crowded beaches, and premium pricing; August particularly empties Barcelona as locals depart. September-October offers warm seas (still 22°C in late September), reduced crowds post-summer, and Barcelona’s cultural calendar accelerates with theatre and music festivals. Winter (December-February) delivers 12–16°C temperatures, occasional rain, and significant cultural programming—but sea swimming becomes niche activity.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Multigenerational groups of 6–8 people find Casa Pujades particularly well-calibrated: grandparents occupy the master suite with ensuite, parents take adjacent twin rooms, teenagers and younger children distribute across remaining bedrooms, and the laundry facilities make week-long stays feasible without external services. Two couples travelling together appreciate the independence of separate bedroom-balcony combinations—each couple can wake to their own outdoor space without shared thoroughfares. Professional groups attending conferences at Fira Barcelona (the exhibition complex 3km north) benefit from the central location and reliable metro connectivity to transport hubs. Families with young children appreciate high chairs and travel cots included in the rental, the 15-minute walk to Barceloneta Beach for supervised swimming, and neighbourhood markets for daily provisions. Couples seeking Barcelona’s city energy without downtown noise levels find Sant Marti offers restaurant density and metro access combined with genuine residential calm—fewer hen parties, fewer tourist traps, more working locals at corner cafés. Extended working groups or creative teams can utilise the separate spaces for both social functions and individual focus time.
