Absolutely outstanding experience with BCN Life! From start to finish, their team made our relocation to Barcelona not only smooth but genuinely enjoyable. They guided us through every single step of the visa process with a wealth of knowledge and a level of care that turned what could have been a daunting journey into a seamless transition.

Once we arrived, BCN Life continued to be an invaluable resource. They found us a beautiful apartment in a neighborhood we love, balancing our preferences and budget perfectly. They even took the time to connect us with the local expat community, making us feel at home from day one and allowing us to build an instant network of friends and support.

Their attention to detail extended to helping us navigate private health insurance and connecting us with Spanish classes. These touches have been key to helping us settle into our new life with confidence and ease.

Overall, BCN Life exceeded our expectations at every step. We can’t recommend them highly enough for anyone looking to make a big move to Barcelona – their expertise, warmth, and commitment to their clients make them an absolute standout.

Moving to a new country is challenging, exciting, daunting. BCN Life has made it all so much easier for us. I honestly do not know how we would’ve been able to do it without them. Absolutely everyone we have worked with at BCN Life has been a joy to work with. They helped us to navigate all the necessary paperwork for the visa process. It would’ve been a nightmare without their help. They helped us to find our beautiful new flat, get health insurance, meet new friends, find Spanish classes and even get hair stylists lined up. They are very responsive to all our questions. Lia is a real estate marvel, Hugh is not only great at making sure all the boxes are checked but also makes sure everyone feels welcome and helps to connect us all to one another and to cultural events about town. And Michael gave my beloved a hairstyle that turned him into Pierce Brosnan! 5 Stars to this crew!

BCN Life is an absolute dream to work with! If you're planning to relocate to Barcelona, I can't recommend Hugh and the entire team more highly. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and personalized support make the process smooth and stress-free. Whether you're navigating logistics or settling into your new home, they go above and beyond to ensure your transition is seamless.

We used BCN Life to help us find an apartment and relocate to Barcelona this past November. We moved from the USA for my spouse to attend an art program here, and the idea of trying to find an apartment on our own was stressful and daunting. I appreciated how BCN Life was able to find us an apartment while we were still in the states, and it allowed us to directly move into our new home. Not only did they find us an apartment, but they have been able to connect us with resources and referrals around the city as we get settled in and learn how to live life in another country and culture. I am not sure where we would have been without their services!

These folks will do everything in their power to make moving to Barcelona work smoothly. They are great!

Just keep in mind that it will still not be smooth. Many Spanish private organizations and government agencies just seem incapable of competent organization and communication. That came as a surprise for an EU country.

So you absolutely need help, and Lia, Hugh, and company are highly recommended! Even after their official role has ended, they continue to give much appreciated help with medical emergencies, transport questions, special arrangements, etc

The team at BCN Life is very professional and easy to work with. With their help, I was able to find an apartment in Barcelona that I loved and sign the rental contract in just a couple weeks. I definitely recommend them to anyone who needs relocation services.

In researching our permanent move from San Francisco to Sitges, Spain, we quickly realized we had to make a choice: spend a lot of time and money trying to figure out the innumerable details and manage all the complex processes on our own or hire an expert. We are so happy we took the latter path—we saved a lot of time and money working with Lia and Akida at BCN Life to make our move.

Spain is justifiably renowned for its complex and difficult bureaucracy and administrative requirements. Not only did Lia help us navigate those tricky waters but she and Akida kept our motivation high and made the process as painless and fun as possible. In particular, Lia found us a plot of land where we have built our dream house, and I can honestly say that we would not have this land without her tenacious, creative and determined search for exactly the right property.

Throughout Lia and Akida have been upbeat, enthusiastic, and easy to work with. Their experience and expertise is unmatched. They anticipated our questions and needs and have been by our side every step of the way. We give them our highest recommendation!

I found BCN Life early on in my search for the right relocation company that would help me start my new life in the best way possible.

Upon reading Lia's and Akida's story and reviewing service offering, I knew BCN Life was 'the one' and I was right. Lia is absolutely amazing and so is her team - special shout out to Oriol and Hugh.

Let's be real - moving countries is a high intensity activity and depending on your personal circumstances, for example if you're working full time whilst coordinating the move, it can be a lot - it was for me and it wasn't my first rodeo, so having boots on the ground - someone you can trust and who has your best interests in mind at all times is a must have.

BCN Life delivered on their brand promise of starting my best life with American level customer service and it was delightful to have that experience. Thanks to BCN Life I live in the perfect home and neighbourhood for me where I absolutely feel at home. I also have a piece of mind that I'm not starting from point 0 socially as I've been introduced to the lovely BCN Life community.

100% recommend to anyone moving to Barcelona.
