Step into the beating heart of Barcelona at Penthouse Balmes. Set close to some of the city's top attractions, this convenient vacation rental makes it easy to immerse yourself in the life-and culture, cuisine and more-of this vibrant metropolis. Sleek, modern spaces and four bedrooms mean you can share the experience with up to eight friends or family members.

While this luxury penthouse is close to the beach, you can have your own day in the sun on the loungers on the villa's private terrace. Stretch out in the exercise room in the mornings and, after a day of sightseeing, turn on the TV or iPod docking station to unwind, or browse via Wi-Fi to keep up with emails.

Neutral tones, wood floors and plenty of windows give the penthouse's living spaces a bright, airy vibe. A pair of sofas and a dining table for eight mean there's room for everyone in the open-concept living and dining room. And a fully equipped kitchen with minimalist white cabinets means it's a snap to prepare fresh finds from the local market.

Penthouse Balmes has two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms: one with a king bed and one with a queen bed. The other two bedrooms have a king bed and two twin beds, respectively, and share a hall bathroom.

In the Barcelona City neighborhood surrounding the villa, you'll find a range of restaurants and shops with everything you'll need while on holiday, as well as a fitness center with a pool, sauna, paddle tennis and more. The property is close to city sights like the Plaza de Catalunya, Passeig de Gracia and Gothic Quarter. But with the beach just a 15-minute drive away, you can also make a honeymoon-style escape to the sand on a whim.
