Anakena House

L'Eixample


The 1st floor of this Modernista building designed by Catalan architect Enric Sagnier i Villavecchia has been transformed into an intimate, elegant boutique property filled with original tilework. The nine rooms are styled in calming olive tones, with antique furniture, feathered lamps, rain showers and designer lighting. All but the two interiors have street views, most from little balconies.
