The elegant and tastefully furnished Joyce apartment is a real treat.

This stunning apartment has been renovated to a very high standard ensuring the comfort of the guest while maintaining a very welcoming atmosphere...and it's central location makes it the perfect base whether the guest is here on holiday or for business.

The area surrounding the apartment:

The Joyce apartment is situated in the heart of Barcelona's Eixample district, the birthplace of the Modernism movement where Antoni Gaudí is considered the leader. When looking to experience Barcelona's world renowned reputation for leading 19th century architecture, this area is king. There are many "must see" attractions in this area, especially the Gaudí sites - the impressive and famous Sagrada Familia, the two famous Gaudí houses La Pedrera and Casa Batlló in the Manzana de la Discordia and the sprawling Hospital de la Santa Creu in Sant Pau - all within walking distance.

The Apartment:
This apartment has been restored with elegance and taste while maintaining many of the original features like the mozaic tiles and stained glass windows. The perfect home from home where you enjoy luxurious surroundings in the very heart of Barcelona.

The tastefully decorated living/dining room provides guests with comfortable sofas where you can sit back and relax while planning excursions or simply enjoying a glass of fine wine. The dining table will seat eight comfortably.

The top of the line kitchen has all the mod-cons that you would expect in a property of this level and an additional dining table for less formal dining.

The master en-suite bedroom comes with a double bed, marble fire-place (not functional) and an office space for writing your 'wish you were here' postcards. The en-suite bathroom is stylishly finished and has bath, shower, 2 washbasins and toilet.

The second bedroom also has a double bed and access to the 2nd bathroom which has bath/shower, 2 washbasins and toilet.

The third and fourth bedrooms each come with 2 single beds and have access to the third bathroom which is furnished with shower, washbasin and toilet.

Eixample (right)

Eixample (right)

Barcelona´s 19th century Eixample district is the birthplace of the Modernism movement where Antoni Gaudi is considered the leader. When looking to experience Barcelona´s world renowned reputation for leading 19th century architecture, this area is king. With all the Gaudi sites within reach like the grand and impressive famous Sagrada familia, the two famous Gaudi houses of La Perdera and Manzana de la Discordia, the sprawling Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, you´ll spend hours rambling along and looking upwards.  This grid-patterned area was created in the 19th century to accommodate the overflowing population from old Barcelona; luckily this coincided with Barcelona’s golden age of architecture.. Gaudí, Puig I Cadafalch, Domènech I Montaner were employed by the wealthy to build townhouses, each one more daring than the last…

The Eixample district is divided in two, the Eixample Dreta (right side) and Eixample Esquerra (left side), this divide is marked by Passeig de Gracia, a highly sophisticated shopping street…..

A large part of the Eixample’s attraction includes all the shops, restaurants, cafes and bars to be found… Passeig de Gracias alone will keep any visitor entertained for hours, but all the side streets are full of great stores, theatres, cafes with people everywhere, shopping, relaxing and enjoying an aperitif with friends and family…

EIXAMPLE DRETA (RIGHT)

This area of the Eixample came first and is full of fabulous Modernista works, such as Gaudí’s Casa Batlló, Puig I Cadafalch’s Casa Amatller and  Domènech i Muntaner`s Lleó Morera famously referred to as the Manzana de la Discordia…..

To the east of the city centre we can find another massive, towering example of Gaudí’s creativity, the Sagrada Familia; still under construction and will most likely continue to be so for a long time to come … it is full of symbolism and meaning. This amazing creation never disappoints as visitors to Barcelona are awed by it’s imagery and beauty time and time again….

One building which also warrants a mention is the Hospital de Sant Pau, still a functioning hospital to this day and it is probably the most complex example of Modernist architecture….

The Eixmaple dreta is rife with museums such as Fundavió Antoni Tàpies, Museo Egipci de Barcelona and the Fundació Francisco Goddia;

Other buildings of interest include the Palau Macaya, the tiled Mercat de la Concepció, the egg-topped Plaçá de Braus Monumantal and Barcelona’s last active bullring ….
