This duplex (two storey flat) is located on an upper floor of an
18th century palatial mansion which has recently been restored. The apartment has plenty of light and looks on to a small
square and lively street and is just 100m from the Santa María del Mar gothic church, in the area of El Born, the district
that epitomizes everything this city is famous for: art, avant-garde, design, restaurants, music, history, fashion,
cafés and terraces, the port and the sea. In summary: the Mediterranean lifestyle.
It has an entrance hall with bathroom, living-room and fully-fitted kitchen. On the upper level there is a
large bedroom with a writing desk, a cloakroom, and complete bathroom with Jacuzzi. This apartment is almost new and
perfectly maintained: it has wooden parquet floors, oak doors with brass handles, double-glazed windows, and all
sanitary and electrical fittings are in perfect condition. The living-room
contains a double sofa-bed.
The building is an icon of Barcelona, photographed and used
many times in tourist publications. It is an old palace recently restored,
and declared as protected heritage of Barcelona. It still contains the
original stone staircase, a new secondary one, a roof terrace, and a modern
lift.
