Stunning luxury, central location, unbelievable views - city, ocean, lake
Location: Sant Marti, Barcelona, Catalunya, Spain, Europe (15 km from Airport (25 euro taxi fare)) View Map
Accommodations: Apartment, 3 Bedrooms + Office, 2 Baths (Sleeps 7)
Keywords: Penthouse style Apartment with pool and views of beach, park and city. Central location
This is a unique penthouse-style apartment. Situated in the chic neighbourhood of Diagonal Mar. Set in a parkland / lakeside setting overlooking the ocean. It is in the Sant Marti quarter, near Port Olympic and only a short distance from fashionable stores, hotels (e.g. Hotel Arts & Casino), and scores of restaurants, theatres, museums and all the places of historical and sporting interest. The apartment is only 300 metres from miles and miles of Barcelona' best beaches.
Barcelona is the vibrant and colourful capital of Catalonia. The city is peppered with many of Gaudi's modernistic and daring architecture, the pinnacle of which is the famously unfinished Sagrada Familia Cathedral.
Owner's Comments:
This is our home when we are in Barcelona and we love it. It has been furnished as a home as befits this sophisticated environment and setting. Torre Sur, Illa de Llac a dramatic slim tower - with only four apartments per floor - and its surroundings, designed by the world-renowned architect Enric Miralles, is not a holiday-type complex. It is a small residential community inhabited by some of Barcelona's most urban professionals.
Staying in this special setting offers visitors an exceptional opportunity to enjoy and share in an exclusive enclave, whilst respecting that your/our neighbours are at home and going about their daily professional lives. If you appreciate the finer points of a unique holiday in Barcelona, then you will love this experience.
However, if what you want, from a visit/vacation/business trip to Barcelona, is an action-packed location or party setting with lots of other like-minded holidaymakers, then this is not the place to rent or to stay in. You will be disappointed and you will have upset our friends and neighbours.

The location and layout of this lovely apartment was perfect for my “Bearcelona” adventure. My human traveling companions especially appreciated the privacy of the two separate sleeping wings, each with its own bath and climate control.
The apartment’s location in the modern Diagonal Mar area offered easy access to the metro system. Hop on a metro train, and it is just a quick ride to the city center. The nearby shopping area, with its many restaurants, included a large supermarket - very convenient.
But my favorite aspect was the view from this 18th floor unit. The sweeping vista from the mountains to the sea was a treat for the eye, offering an expansive panorama of the city - impressive by day, sparkling by night. I was even able to catch a glimpse of the iconic La Sagrada Familia cathedral from the private balcony. Just beautiful!

Why the Owner Chose Sant Marti
Barcelona has everything - beaches, parks, and an amazing cultural, sports and gastronomic life. The home of Gaudi, Picasso, Miro and so many more. It is alive year round.
The Unique Benefits at this Apartment
The Illa de Llac complex is arguably one of the best in the city - set in 17 ha park overlooking lake, the city and the beach with own concierge, pools, gym, short-tennis, safe for families. 24 hour security. Beside the best shopping complex in Barcelona (90 shops, restaurants etc). Yet only 5 minutes from the beach and 12 minutes by Metro or taxi to the city centre.

Thank you for this coming to Barcelona and feeling ... more than home really! We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope having done everything right, certainly this town and your highflyer view is VERY difficult to match! We can only pull our hat for your very good taste and life style and would quite like to redo the exercise, may be at a warmer time of the year, if realistic. GS Family, Nov 2011

Just a brief note to let you know that we had a very enjoyable holiday in your apartment in Barcelona. Your apartment was extremely comfortable and the view over Barcelona was fantastic. The weather was also great (28-30 degrees), which was just perfect both for going on the beach and exploring the streets of Barcelona. This was my children's first trip abroad and they were sad to have to come home. MH Family, Scotland, Sept 2011

We had a wonderful and educational vacation in both Israel and Spain. Thank you for allowing us to rent your nicely appointed apartment. We loved the location, the general aspects of the apartment, the convenience, the quiet neighbourhood and the fact that we were all in the same space. DMD Family Ca, US January 2011
