This apartment is sparklingly new, with gorgeous wood floors, clean lines of furniture, and design that inspires feelings of perfect peace. Consider Marquès your refuge from the outside world, and let your mind relax into these lovely surroundings.

Though the design is modern inside, the house still retains its traditional Barcelonian windows that open onto balconies, a touch no apartment in this city should be without. The floor-to-ceiling windows let in scads of sunlight, bringing a lightness to the whole space. The fully furnished kitchen contrasts sleek black countertops and modern appliances with warm wood cabinetry, creating a perfect juxtaposition of current design and old-fashioned beauty.

Relax into the plush couch in the living area to watch TV, or bring your visitors over to eat at the gorgeous glass-topped table in the dining room. When you’re ready to retire, the charming simplicity and warm colors of the bedroom are sure to have you sleeping like a baby in no time; especially if you unwind in the luxurious walk-in shower in the master bath just before bed.

When the new day dawns, go for a walk through the streets of Barcelona’s chic Raval area and visit the Boqueria market, where you can find fresh produce and sweet cafes and restaurants to break your fast. Take a walk toward the sea through La Rambla, and be sure to investigate Barcelona’s oldest Romanesque church on C/ Sant Pau. When the light begins to fade, let yourself be swept up in the nightlife, with bars ranging from young and hip to traditional and secluded on the Rambla del Raval. When you stay in Marquès, you’ll never want for action - or for your hard-won solitude at the day’s end, when you return home.
