Just a few steps from the hot Barcelona beach and with its own little balcony, the pretty Rosa Del Mar I apartment couldn't have a better holiday atmosphere.

Fresh and breezy decor, set off by its characteristic open beams and brickwork, with cool white furnishings, ensures this classic Mediterranean ambience.

With hardwood flooring and new designer fittings, Rosa Del Mar I is as cosy and modern as it gets while its location on the citys' beach is both quaint and central to Barcelona.

It is located less than a minute from the beaches, which stretch for miles along the coast, in historic Barceloneta.

This district was formerly a fishermans neighbourhood, so the area is full of seafood and tapas bars, as well as beachbars, with their famed Mojitos, local supermarkets and shops.

A short walk will take you to the glittering marina and in 10 minutes you can be in historic barrio Gotico, trendy El Borne, or the buzzing Las Ramblas, in this very central location.

Nearby metro station: Barceloneta (L4, yellow line).
