Top 10 family holiday apartments in Barcelona

Whether it's small or large families, there's enough room for your family to stay!

There comes a time in every family life where you decide to pack your bags and set off on a plane to a new land together. For those memories to be truly flawless you’re going to need an equally memorable base where you can feel right at home. You could opt for a hotel, but you’ll need to find one that can accommodate the whole family and even then it can feel crowded. In these apartments however, that couldn’t be further from the truth, for they have plenty of bedrooms and space for complete freedom and privacy during your trip.

We have have over 100 apartments to choose from for families, so you might have a hard time choosing the perfect one for you. Don’t fret though, we’ve started you off with a selection of 10 of our favourites!

Consell Cent Gràcia II

Family holiday apartment in Barcelona with spacious terrace
Amazing terrace with attractive wooden decking

Want to be right in the city centre where all the action is? This 150m² family apartment is right by Passeig de Gràcia - the main shopping high street of the city. The other great aspect is that there are 5 separate double bedrooms, so whether you’re a family of 4, 5, or 6, the children all get entire double bedrooms to themselves! That’s in addition to the stunning terrace where you can have fun or relax under the Spanish sunshine.

Casa Batlló is just around the corner from this apartment. The zany colours and forms of this apartment building designed by Gaudí will have your children bewildered and probably wishing you could live there yourselves!

Apartment Park Güell

For a more peaceful time in Barcelona, you can stay in an uptown apartment like this one. With the metro just around the corner you can get just about anywhere in the city without having to rush. There are 4 double bedrooms; 3 with 2 single beds and 1 with a bunk bed. You can "mix and match" your rooms. If you want 2 double bedrooms and 2 twin bedrooms, you can simply separate or push the beds together to your liking!

There are plenty of parks scattered in every direction around this apartment. With the beautiful "Jardins del Turo del Putxet" right on your doorstep, the kids will have plenty of places to play. Park Güell - another fantastical landmark created by Gaudí - is just 10 minutes away on foot.

Lepant Auditori II

Well-designed holiday apartment Lepant Auditori II
Beautifully designed apartment for families.

With a modern decór and room for up to 7 guests, you can easily make Lepant Auditori II your family's temporary home in Barcelona. We would recommend you book it during the low-season though, as there is no air-conditioning. If you can get by on fans during the summer, this place will be very light on your wallet compared to other accommodation. It has WiFi Internet access and a cot can be set up.

Mercat dels Encants is a thriving marketplace. It makes for a great day out as all sorts of things are sold here that will appeal to the whole family, including toys that your children may like. Something here could make for an enduring souvenir that will end up being treasured for a lifetime.
