Penthouse near the Sea

A penthouse with a view of the sea.

A wrap-around penthouse with a private rooftop, a long dining terrace, and panoramic views over Barcelona to the Mediterranean. Five minutes by foot to the beach, ten to the Gothic Quarter.

The Concept

Every room, designed around the sea.

The whole apartment was redesigned to fall toward the back wall — the wall that's all glass, facing the Mediterranean. Kitchen, living room, bedrooms — all of them watching the same horizon. Materials chosen to age in salt air: lime plaster, oak, brushed bronze. Nothing here is filler. Everything is where it is so the sea has the first word.

And one floor up, your own private rooftop: sun loungers, dining for six, planted edges, and an unobstructed view across the Gothic Quarter to the Tibidabo hills.

INSIDE THIS PENTHOUSE

A month, lived above the sea.

A kitchen that handles real cooking, a desk that faces the horizon, beds and linens chosen for a long stay. Everything in this penthouse was picked for the month — not the weekend.

Elevated Living

The quiet you only find on the top floor.

A few floors above the street, the air, the light and the way time moves — all of it shifts. No footsteps from above. A daily life kept slightly apart from the noise.

Corner Light

Light changes how a room feels.

Natural light from two sides. Sometimes three. The kind of morning that lifts you out of bed. The kind of afternoon that keeps you going. Light, more than most things, changes how a day feels.

Rooftop Terrace

Step outside, and the day shifts.

More than an outdoor space. Morning coffee. Evening air. An outdoor shower. Time to do nothing at all. We wanted the value of the top floor to live in your every day.

Cinema Ready

Even your 4K hours, made beautiful.

Apple TV 4K and a 4K display, standard in every home. Films, music, even a YouTube evening — not just played, but felt across the whole room.

Spatial Audio

Sound, dissolved into the room.

Apple's HomePod system, throughout the home. Wherever you stand, the sound finds you. Press play, and the air in the room begins to change.

Work Better

Even your work, something to love.

Most homes come with a workspace built around an Apple Studio Display. On a long stay, where you work becomes how you live — so we made a place that doesn't only help you focus, it makes you want to sit down.

Adaptive Lighting

Light, tuned to how you feel.

Smart lighting by Philips Hue. Warm. Cool. The hush of late night. The clarity of an early morning. The mood of the room, in your hands.

Smart Home

A home, a little further into the future.

HomeKit puts the lighting and most of the appliances on your iPhone. No more hunting for the switch. Not smart for its own sake — smart that quietly fits the way you live.

Kitchen for Real Living

A kitchen for living, not just staying.

Designed for the people who stay a month, not a week. An espresso machine. A blender. The basics in the drawer. The things you'd actually reach for, already here.

Bedroom Experience

Even time in bed, made better.

Some bedrooms come with a projector. A movie night. A rainy afternoon. A weekend you don't feel like leaving the room. On a long stay, even those hours deserve to be rich.

WHERE YOU'LL BE

The Mediterranean, one block away.

Between Barceloneta and the Gothic Quarter. Five minutes to the beach, ten to Las Ramblas, fifteen to Eixample.

PAST GUEST MOMENTS

What a month in this home feels like.

Three voices from guests who stayed at least 31 nights. Lightly edited; their words.

The terrace did something to my mornings. I'd wake up earlier just to sit there. By week 3 I was writing in the kitchen by 7am with the sea fully visible.

I run a small product team remote. The internet was rock-solid, the espresso machine became a meeting fixture, and Diego from OSCO solved a heating issue in 12 minutes. Best work setup I've had in five years.

I tested the home for a longer relocation. By the end, I knew the barista at Satan's Coffee, the dry cleaner two blocks away, and the rhythm of the building. It felt like ours.

WHY LONG STAYS

Questions long-stay guests ask first.

Why is the minimum stay 31 nights?

OSCO homes are licensed as seasonal lease properties under Spain's LAU Art. 3 — not short-stay tourist apartments. The 31-night minimum keeps each home tax-compliant and means we can invest in setting it up like a real home: real kitchen, real linen, real workspace.

Can I extend mid-stay?

Yes — if the home is available. Tell us 7+ days before check-out and we'll send an extension addendum. Extensions of one month or more carry the long-stay discount automatically.

Are pets welcome?

One small-to-medium dog or cat is welcome with €30/month and a one-time €100 cleaning surcharge. Please mention your pet at booking — we'll add the right linen and a feeding mat at check-in.

Can OSCO provide a residency letter for visas?

Yes. For stays of 90+ nights, OSCO issues a signed accommodation certificate addressed to the consulate or immigration office of your choice. Diego can prepare it within 48 hours — common for Spanish Digital Nomad Visa applicants.
