Vacation apartments in Barcelona for short term rental

In the heart of the Villa Olímpica, a modern area of Barcelona, by the beach and within easy access to Old Town Barcelona

This one bedroom apartment in the heart of the Villa Olímpica is extremely convenient as the visitor is close to the Nova Icaria beach (200 meters) and yet within walking distance to the Old Town of Barcelona, the Gothic Quarter, El Borne and the famous La Rambla.

The area surrounding the apartment:

During the games of 1992, the Villa Olímpica had to accommodate thousands of athletes and spectators. Architects from all over the world were called in and designed modern and stylish buildings. Some of the main features are the 142 meters high towers and the Arts Hotel in the Villa Olímpica which is surrounded by a steel frame, so it seems like it is in scaffolding. Another feature of this great area is the golden sculpture ‘Pez y Esfera’, designed by Frank Gehry, representing a headless fish, quite a sight!

The village also has a beautiful promenade which is full of sculptures, nice for leisurely strolls at any time of the day but even more so in the evening. This is a very lively neighborhood with lots of trendy restaurants and bars and the atmosphere is alive and palpable!

At a 50 meters' walk from the Villa Olimpica apartment you will find the Villa's shopping centre, which houses the 15 screen Icaria cinema (all movies are shown in original version) as well as many restuarants, shops, supermarkets and pretty much anything you may need.

The apartment:
This modern and spacious apartment is flooded with sunlight throughout the day as the living area has one complete wall of windows looking out onto a small terrace from where you have a view of the sea. The living room has a comfortable sofa which can be made up as a double sofa bed. The apartment comes with a TV and DVD should you decide to spend an evening in.

The bedroom is spacious with a double bed and ample wardrobe space for all of your belongings. This room also has a lot of natural light.

The kitchen is fully equipped and comes with all the mod cons that you would expect to find in a modern apartment including coffee maker, microwave, toaster, dishwasher, etc...From the kitchen you have views onto the community garden where you can sit and relax away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

The bathroom comes complete with bath/shower, toilet and washbasin and has fresh towels ready for use.

Whether in Barcelona for work or on holiday, this is the perfect choice.
