A Modernist mansion in Barcelona’s El Putxet district is back on the market for €19.9 million, according to Idealista and Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Barcelona. The house is known for appearing in Woody Allen’s 2008 film Vicky Cristina Barcelona.
Designed in 1917 by Enric Sagnier, one of Barcelona’s best-known Modernist architects, the property has 882 square metres of built space on a 1,245 square metre plot. It has five bedrooms, a swimming pool, several living areas, and views across the city towards Mount Tibidabo.
The listing says the home is spread over three floors, plus a service apartment. Inside, it includes three lounges, a large designer dining room, a kitchen with a wine cellar, exterior porches, and a master suite with a private bathroom, a hammam, and a double dressing room. The house sits on a small hill surrounded by vegetation, within the Beltrán gardens.
Its original details include carved stone, ceramics, wrought ironwork, and hydraulic mosaic flooring. The property has been renovated several times, but the listing says those features remain in place.

The mansion’s film link comes from scenes shot there for Vicky Cristina Barcelona in 2007. The article also notes that Woody Allen later bought another Modernist house in Gràcia, with local press reporting that it had a plot of more than 1,600 square metres and over 1,100 square metres of built space.
El Putxet is one of Barcelona’s more upmarket residential areas, and homes of this size and age are rare on the open market. The sale adds another high-profile property to the city’s luxury housing scene, where heritage, location, and architectural value often drive interest.
