The Barcelona Retreat Centre was built in a big and beautiful modernistic house in the heart of Barcelona. The centre is located in a nice and quiet street, yet minutes’ walk away from the central gothic neighbourhood and a 10 minute walk away to the beach of Barcelona.
The building is one of the catalogued examples of the modernistic movement (Gaudi’s movement) and was built in the year 1890.
All rooms are spacious and carefully designed by one of the most creative and young design studios in Barcelona: PPT Interiors. The result is a welcoming, highly beautiful and comfortable centre to stay, relax, socialise and practise yoga.
The centre can accommodate up to 10 guests at a time. External local students are welcome but maximum size group will be 15.
