The building was designed by the legendary architect Antoni Gaudi as his first great architectural work. Architectural fans can visit [Airbnb](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moulin-rouge-windmill) to book their stay. The 1885 house can only be reserved by two people for one night, at the modest sum of one euro. This extraordinary experience includes an exclusive tour of the villa by Emili, the host employed by the Gaudi Museum. Boasting a Michelin-starred menu inspired by the Spanish architect, guests will feast in the villa's dining room. The smoking room offers visitors a nightcap before heading to the Vincens family's master bedroom.
