To summarise briefly, your expectations will be met with this villa and hosts. The villa Is located in a beautiful, calm neighbourhood. Very close to the centre and other attractions/parks. You can easily find supermarkets and restaurants around with amazing food. The villa itself is stunning! An incredible games room, spacious rooms mostly with an en suit, and all the amenities you may need from Bluetooth speakers, to TVs in every room. Everything was clean and spotless, and the hosts had maintained great communication with us to accommodate our needs. The villa also has a beautiful garden with a great sized swimming pool and a hot tub which was super easy to use! Lastly, I’d like to thank the hosts (including the arranged catering, which was phenomenal) for going the extra mile and making our trip worthwhile. Everything was simply amazing! Hope to be back in the future!

Stunning property that is incredibly well equipped and really well managed.We had a brilliant stay, it is a little distance into the centre of the city and main attractions, but very easy to manage via the local taxi app. To find a house this size and with its own private pool etc is so rare so we were very happy overall with it definitely would recommend.

The villa is just amazing! We loved the decoration, each room has amazing objects and details. The swimming pool and jaccuzzi are perfect especially for Barcelona center. The main play room has a lot of volume and we enjoyed it a lot! It is very quiet.
