Barcelona Weekend Break

Barcelona villas and property

If you are intending to stay in Barcelona for a week or more and you would like to rent a villa, or if you are considering buying property in Barcelona, the information on this page may give you some brief pointers.

Barcelona has a massive number of available rental properties in the form of villas, casas, fincas and apartments, along with some "out of town" rural houses called casas rurales.

A holiday villa in Barcelona

Staying in a vacation home can prove very economic if there are four or more of you sharing. A holiday villa also offers a greater level of independence and normally includes a private (or sometimes shared) pool.

Most holiday villas are rented based on a fixed charge, so costs per head decrease the more of you that there are. Maid service and pool cleaning are included and villas usually offer a “welcome pack”, containing food and drink for your evening or early morning arrival.

Most villas are outside the main city area of Barcelona, so renting a car is usually advisable although not essential.
