A handsome Spanish classic, this Barcelona apartments' ambient character, reminiscent of the old-world, will surely set the scene for your stay in the historical city centre.

An elegant colour scheme of powder blue with moody scarlet and brown, is accessorised in antiques, with its roofbeams, oak and walnut detail, leather and subtle flourishes of gold.

However, the more convenient and modern fittings ensure the quality comfort value of the Carretes Rústic apartment, creating a truly atmospheric base for exploring Barcelona.

In Raval, Barcelonas' most eclectic and multi-cultural district, by the San Pau cathedral, you are close to shops, restaurants and leisure spots, such as the MACBA gallery.

The picturesque Sant Antoni market is closeby for fresh groceries and shopping, or venture further to the famous La Boqueria, which sits on Las Ramblas just 10 minutes away.

Perfect for exploring old streets and avenues, this area is within walking distance to Gótico, the marina and the centre.
