I've been fortunate enough to stay in Hotel Arts and several of Barcelona's finest hotels on previous visits to the city but never again, Pau's house blows them all away and costs less than 2 rooms in a 5* hotel whilst sleeping up to 10.

The location couldn't be better on a private gated road, close to the best shopping district and with nothing you're likely to want to see or do more than 5 - 10 min cab away. The house itself is incredible: huge rooms, high ceilings, beautifully furnished and kept immaculately clean by Joy the house keeper. We made good use of all the fantastic facilities: huge cinema screen, games room and roof terrace. With Joy on hand to prepare breakfast, make the beds and answer any queries about the house and Pau only a phone call away for tips on places to visit or great restaurants you really do have all the benefits of a luxury hotel combined with the privacy and space of a grand townhouse.

I could not recommend Pau's house highly enough and only hope it doesn't become so popular I'm unable to rebook for my next visit.
