In the centre of the attractive city of Reus (close by Barcelona), seconds from stylish shops and great restaurants, my place is a great base for an authentic Spanish city break, yet under 30 mins to the Mediterranean & stunning mountains, and more!
The sunny flat is on a pedestrianised street just by the main square, and is on the second floor (no elevator), with a double bedroom - and a dressing room /store room with a spare single bed in it, and a dedicated work station between the bedroom and living room.
The layout of the flat means it is most suitable for a couple or someone traveling solo. In summary (details below in brackets for the detailed-minded), it's worth noting that the bedroom - though with not much natural light - is quiet to sleep in if there are many people out in the street (for example at the weekends!). And the layout means you have to walk through the main bedroom to get to the living room from the front door.
Note, there is wifi, but it has a monthly limit, so if you are a heavy user you may need to purchase extra data or bring it with you, there is strong 5G. Most nearby cafes offer free wifi; there is free city wifi in the main square and other locations.
(Right, here's all the detail as some like to know it all! There is a washing machine, dishwasher, cooker, Nespresso machine, air fryer, oven and combi-microwave. There is air conditioning in the main bedroom (the unit also does heating), and there are pedestal fans, and a couple of plug-in heaters for other rooms. Heat is really only an issue in Jan and Feb, and aircon in July and Aug).
About the location
Reus is a small city - its centre is elegant, affluent and relaxed, and makes a great base for the experience of Spanish city living like a local, without the tourists, stress and expense of being in the middle of Barcelona!
The flat is seconds walk from the thriving cafe and restaurant scene ... in fact, you would find it hard to go for more than a one minute walk in any direction before stumbling on a cafe with a great terrace! All the street photos in the listing are within 2 mins walk of the flat, the market within 8 mins walk.
It is also possible in a short hop (easiest by car, but perfectly possible by public transport) to be in beautiful Mediterranean pine forests in the mountains, or on the coastal beaches within 20 mins ... so Reus makes a perfect city base with sidetrips for beach time, excellent wine tourism, and some really enjoyable hiking!
It is 70 mins by train to Barcelona, so day trips /meetings there are perfectly possible.
I love this region, and there is much to see, so if you need suggestions for your stay I will be very happy to help!
Getting there:
In terms of flight connections, Barcelona airport (70 mins drive away) has to be one of the best-linked cities in southern Europe, with frequent direct flights across Europe, the Americas, Asia, and the Middle East.
But also little ol` Reus is blessed with its own airport (8 mins drive away!) and has flights from many UK and Irish regional cities as well a few from France, the Netherlands and Germany, from March to October.
Availability: this is very open as this is my second home. I am particularly interested in swapping in Colombia in February/ March 2026 and would consider offering this apartment to you for a longer stay in return for securing that swap.
