Welcome to Sant Gervasi Galvany
Enjoy your stay in one of Barcelona's most exclusive and elegant neighbourhoods. Sant Gervasi – Galvany, in the Sarrià-Sant Gervasi district, is widely regarded as the city's most prestigious area: a place with centuries of history, a character all its own and an atmosphere that sets it apart from anywhere else in Barcelona.
Since the mid-19th century, Barcelona's most distinguished families chose this neighbourhood to build their mansions and high-end residences. That legacy is still very much alive today — in the grand architecture, the leafy avenues and the unhurried pace that invites you to slow down and discover a more refined side of the city.
A Neighbourhood with a Soul
Sant Gervasi retains the spirit of an independent village — one of the last to be incorporated into the city of Barcelona — giving it a unique atmosphere, away from the bustle of the centre yet with everything you need close at hand. Narrow streets, historic buildings and an abundance of green spaces create the perfect setting to unwind and experience Barcelona at a different pace.
The neighbourhood also offers a great selection of restaurants, cafés, boutiques and local markets, including the Mercat de Galvany, one of the most authentic and beloved in the city.
Perfectly Connected to Barcelona
Sant Gervasi – Galvany is well connected to central Barcelona via metro (Line 6 – FGC) and several bus routes, with the Eixample, Gràcia and the Zona Alta just minutes away — an ideal base from which to explore the city with ease.
