Cosy and comfortable, this home in Chamartín is ideal for business travellers. Though it's not in central Madrid, this is the city's financial hub, and a nearby metro station makes it easy to explore if sightseeing is on the agenda. It's also well-placed to catch a Real Madrid game – perfect for football fans. Inside, the decor is elegant, and the space is relatively roomy. The main bedroom even has a dressing room and en-suite shower. Factor in the small desk and it does the job for a fuss-free getaway – just note that there’s an extra fee for towels.

What this apartment may lack in size, it makes up for in location. It’s an ideal base for a couple or solo traveller – and for those in Madrid on business, the desk will be a welcome bonus. With a sofa bed for two extra guests, it works nicely for families who are happy to share their space, too. The kitchen and bathroom are both on the small side, but you’ll find all the key ingredients for a comfortable stay here. Locally, culture abounds with a plethora of museums nearby, or El Retiro Park for a stroll or morning jog.

Located in Madrid's Ibiza district, you’ll find this apartment a short stroll from El Retiro Park. The neighbourhood, with its tree-lined streets, also has a vibrant gastronomic scene, so there are plenty of eateries to enjoy. With its excellent transport links, this apartment is the perfect base for exploring all that Madrid has to offer. There are views of the street and area from this place’s narrow balconies off the living room and main bedroom. And if you prefer to cook at home, there’s a well-appointed kitchen here – this apartment has everything you need for a comfy stay.

Boasting one of the best views in Madrid, this fantastic home is right on the city’s Golden Mile in exclusive Barrio de Salamanca. Browse its luxury boutiques, on your doorstep or take a ten-minute stroll over to the beautiful El Retiro Park. Even more impressive than its surroundings, this stylish apartment offers an almost dizzying micro-universe of style and colour. Ornamented door handles, fireplaces stuffed with books, unique wallpapers, and corresponding art, all contained inside a colonial shell that makes this abode feel like a residence of a playful royal. It’s perfect for a large family or group of friends looking for a chic escape. We could spend hours on the terrace – it’s incredible for watching the sunset or for cocktails as the light fades and the city lights begin to sparkle. Just watch the likes on your Instagram shots flood in.

Goya's Petunias

Home Cinema Setup

This is an elaborate home that impresses with the broad strokes as well as fine ones. An enviable structure with high ceilings and big windows is filled with custom-made furniture that leaves plenty of space to move around. We loved the use of space that puts desks, chairs and bold art pieces in unexpected places – against all odds, it works.

The Porcelain Penguin

Welcome Hamper

Madrid is the vibrant, beating heart of Spain where wine bar chatter runs long into the night and the handsome streets are packed with galleries and museums. This apartment, in soothing neutral tones, is a haven away from the hubbub. Set around an internal courtyard, bedrooms are blissfully quiet. The master is a medley of candyfloss and dusky pink with a simple raw wood bed frame adding a boho touch. The bright living room with its big window can be set up as a social space for dining and hanging out on the sofa, or as a third bedroom with a Murphy bed folding down. You’re in the cultural heart of Madrid here, a ten-minute walk to the world-famous Prado museum and beautiful botanic gardens, and twelve minutes to Plaza Mayor.

Hyacinth

This minimalist home's most prominent feature is the heavy use of drapes. You'll see them separating the master bedroom from the living room, the workspace, and the kitchen has its own stylish set too. True, there is more of a hotel vibe here, but at the same time, this is a sleek, well-designed and super comfortable home — not to mention the excellent traffic links to the rest of Spain via Atocha station.

Bright and contemporary, we think this open-plan studio is perfect for a solo traveller or a couple craving a stay in Madrid. With a stylish bathroom, walk-in closet and huge windows that let you wake up with a direct view of the city, the clever layout compartmentalises the space in a way that opens up the room and fills it with light. Relax on the cosy sofa with a glass of Spanish vino and your favourite Netflix show, rustle up some tapas and light bites in the sleek kitchen or snuggle up on the comfortable bed with a book after a long day exploring – whatever you get up to, we know you'll be happy to call this pad home. And speaking of exploring, this locale is right in the heart of the city, with many of the must-see sights a short stroll away. Ritzy Salamanca is ideal for high-end shopping and fine dining (stroll down the Golden Mile or grab a bite at Platea food court, five minutes away), while leafy Parque del Retiro is an excellent spot to bask in the morning sunshine. Museums, restaurants and monuments are all within walking distance, but if your feet need a break, hop on the metro – both Colón and Recoletos stations are right around the corner.

Fire Extinguisher

Mere minutes away from Puerta del Sol and many of Madrid's most sought-after attractions, this sunny apartment is best suited to those who prefer to enjoy a city break on foot. 

Elegantly furnished, its simple designs have been carefully selected with attention to detail and high-quality materials. We particualrly loved the serene vibe felt throughout the home which makes retreating back here after fun-filled days and nights out in the city all the more appealing. 

Ideal for a small family or group of friends, one of the bedrooms boasts a street view window, while the other has its own little interior patio terrace – a peaceful spot to wake up to over your morning coffee.

Once you're refreshed and ready for the day – set off to explore the sights. With the likes of Plaza Mayor and the Royal Palace just a five-minute walk away – there's no need to set foot on public transport when staying here. 



Sunny Face

Several of the original architectural elements in Strength of Spirit have been preserved, so that the flat keeps some character and a sense of place, and this pays off. It might seem like a slightly nebulous point, but the fact that it feels Madrileño makes the guest feel at ease – there’s nothing jarring about the space. There are a few more modern features though, like the sleek, black kitchen, which adds a bit of variety, but these feel a bit beside the point. There’s nothing wrong with them, but nor do they add a tonne.

Ten minutes from the alfresco drinking spots of Plaza Mayor, and just over fifteen from the lush greenery of the Parque de El Retiro, this apartment is a wonderful base in Madrid. Despite being so close to main attractions and located among the most vibrant streets, it’s a space where you can relax. This apartment is classy, colourful, and comfortable. The host has taken it upon themself to create a peaceful oasis in the middle of the city, curating an eclectic look with antiques and flea-market finds. We love the living and dining room, complete with mid-century chairs and a chandelier to create an elegant glow for dinner parties. Another fabulous use of light comes from the shuttered windows to your private balcony. With three sets of rich, wooden folding doors, you can step out to the railings with a glass of tempranillo after supper to watch the city light up at nightfall. With decorative, gilded bed frames in the sumptuous bedrooms, you’ll even feel stylish while you sleep. Rest up well, because you’ve got some exploring to do the next morning – the three galleries of the Art Walk are all less than fifteen minutes away.

This holiday home is a great base for families or groups of friends who don’t mind being a little further outside of Madrid. When you want to see the sights, you can walk to the Franco Rodriguez metro stop, so seeing the likes of El Retiro and Puerta del Sol is easy enough – though you’ll be staying far away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre. You’ll have a patio with a small private pool to cool off in, and an alfresco dining area. Four guests will be sleeping on sofa beds, which isn’t the most private setup so is probably better suited to children sharing with their parents. 

Elegant Hideaway

Parking On Street

This bright and welcoming apartment is small but perfectly formed. We love the charm of the exposed wooden beams in this cosy home – it’s a delightful space to return to after busy days of sightseeing. And you’ll be able to explore easily from this convenient setting – Plaza Major is just a short walk away. Puerta de Toledo metro station is nearby too, making seeing further-afield sights as easy as can be. 

The Light of His Eye

Get the most of your Madrid trip with a stay at this lovely apartment nestled rather conveniently in the very heart of the Spanish capital. But the location is far from this home’s only high point – in fact, we think as soon as you enter, you’ll fall under the spell of this place. 

Or perhaps, even before – arrive to be welcomed by the building’s opulent façade dating to the 1880s. Inside, it’s all about style and comfort. We love the high ceilings, light-filled interiors and gorgeous furnishings. The open-plan living and dining area is perfect for kicking back at the end of a long day of exploring. Snuggle up on the sofa or gather at the dining table for a delicious feast you can easily rustle up in the modern kitchen. 

A night of restful sleep will find you in one of the two plush bedrooms, including one with an en-suite bathroom. Wake up feeling restored and ready for more exciting adventures – with the Royal Palace and all the historic sights on your doorstep, you won’t have to venture far to sample Madrid at its finest. 

The Maja

Free Parking On Street

Ideally located within easy walking distance of some of Madrid’s most emblematic sights, this stylish apartment not only boasts a prime locale but also offers a wonderfully comfortable base from which to experience the city to its fullest. 

Elegantly modern with a pared-back aesthetic, this apartment feels instantly welcoming with its neutral palette offset by soft pastel shades and an abundance of natural light. Open up the living area’s French doors to perch by their Juliet balconies with a glass of Spanish wine, or gather around the beautiful dining table for a celebratory meal when you’re not out sampling the local tapas scene. With a pair of comfortable bedrooms – one of which has a desk space – as well as luxurious rainfall showers with which to greet each day, you’ve got everything you need for a carefree city stay. 
Outside of your home, you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to things to see and do nearby, including the Royal Palace of Madrid, Plaza Mayor, Gran Vía and lively La Latina’s myriad tapas bars and cantinas.


Art Feast

A lush cinema room is a rarity in any city and a first for us in Madrid. Due to the cosy nature of Cinemateca (and a vast selection of movies to watch), we wouldn't recommend it to someone with a big bucket list of things to see in Madrid – we suspect you'll be tempted to stay in most nights. But if you do venture out, you'll find yourself in only minutes away from Plaza Mayor and Puerta del Sol, which will make sightseeing pleasant and effortless. Did we mention that the master bedroom has a massage bath? We're pretty sure this is one of our favourites. 

Cinemateca

Shared Pool

Sauna

Garden

Ideal for couples, small families and solo travellers who don’t want to be in the thick of things in Madrid, this apartment is in a residential area. It’s not far from the action – you need only walk a minute or two to reach Chamartín station and can be in the centre of the city in no time – but it’s nice and quiet. There’s a desk in the bedroom, too, so this is a good option for those in town for business. The apartment is bright and welcoming, and you’ll have access to shared facilities including a heated swimming pool, sauna, and gym. 

Eternal Elegance

Tucked away in a typical Madrid townhouse in Chamberí, Grottino is a great base to explore the city. The streets surrounding this home are part of a neighbourhood that's just as opulent as Salamanca, yet closer to the old centre – which is great for a first-time visitor. Grottino might not be the brightest home in our collection, but a lot of care has been invested in designing the lighting in this small home, so that it resembles an urban chalet. We particularly liked the brick wall in the bathroom and the chic kitchenette. 

Grottino

Situated in the San Diego neighbourhood, this apartment is ideal for those who want peace and quiet away from the thrum of central Madrid. Parking is available for an additional fee, or if you'd prefer to stick to public transport, there are bus routes nearby. The place is simple, functional and comfortable, guaranteeding a stress-free break. While a group of four is accomodated for, space is limited, especially in the living area and when the sofa bed is in use.


After Light

Amazon Prime

Hot Tub

Fireplace

The natural daylight streams into this contemporary home, with crisp white walls and delicate decor. The windows are positioned on the walls to provide plenty of light that flows into every corner of the living space. Live in style as you go about your daily tasks, whether you're cooking up a delicious brunch in the spacious wooden kitchen, or simply putting your feet up in the living room as you read a new book taken off one of the bookshelves. 

Even walking up the stairs grants you luxury, adorned with a beautiful feature piece as you make your way to the minimalistic yet chic bedrooms. If you wish to catch up with emails, there's a handy workspace for all of your remote work needs, followed by enjoying an energising cup of coffee in the courtyard under the shade of the verdant plants. On sunny days recline on the sun lounger and relax to the sound of birdsong, or set up around the outdoor table for an alfresco meal. 

Head out to explore the city of Madrid with plenty of eateries and bars available. Discover hidden gems and browse the many shops on offer throughout. There's a charming park named Fuente del Berro Park for relaxing picnics, or the Museo Nacional del Prado which houses plenty of amazing art to admire.

Crisp Minimalism

Situated in the heart of Chamberí, this modern loft-style apartment is a real gem. Just a stone’s throw from Chueca’s bars and Gran Via’s shops, it’s a perfect spot to call home. This apartment has a mezzanine, so you’ll need to climb some stairs to the upper-floor bedroom, but once you're up you’ll find a stylish bedroom to unwind after a day of sightseeing. There’s a sleek breakfast bar-cum-working bench, so you can sip coffee and fire off emails when work calls. Though the city is easily walkable, you’ll find metro stations within a few steps or speak to your host about private parking.

Wanderlust

Swimming Pool

Blue Torito is a chilled-out home located in one of the liveliest parts of Madrid. Even though it sports a gentle colour palette, it uses patterns and textures to give it a bit more spunk. From woven carpets to the textured headboards, it's apparent that the hosts like playing with details. The design is somewhat lacking a coherent theme, but Blue Torito is still a solid, bright, and comfortable choice, with access to a resident-only pool and terrace. 

Blue Torito

Umbrellas

Located right in the centre of Madrid within walking distance of its cultural treasures, this apartment is its own gallery of miscellaneous wonders perched high above the pavements. Starting from the fuzzy caterpillar-like chaise lounge in the living room that sets the eclectic glamorous tone, this home puts just about everything in the mix, from boldly patterned wallpaper and towering palm plants to the Asian dresser in the living area and the bright blue countertop. It's fair to say that we loved it. A small balcony in one of the bedrooms was the cherry on the cake and is perfect for when you want a blast of fresh air on a stuffy afternoon. If you want to head out exploring, Museo Nacional del Prado is just over ten minutes' walk away, while Palacio de Cristal in the middle of Parque de el Retiro takes around twenty-five.

Cornucopia

Bicycles

Equidistant to Puerta del Sol and Plaza Mayor, The Sun and Stone is perfectly located for those who want to explore Madrid on foot. This home is a typically modern city affair with a minimalist aesthetic and lots of natural light. The thing we liked most about The Sun and Stone is that it's been designed with the guest in mind. The kitchen island is great for socialising, there's ample storage space the communal areas are both inviting and comfortable – basically, an all-rounder. 

The Sun and Stone

Opposite the iconic bullfighting ring, Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas, this home has an enviable location. It's extremely well-connected to public transport links and plenty of traditional tapas spots are within walking distance. Some of the furniture is a little dated and the touristic photography won't be everyone's cup of tea, but it still has plenty of strengths. Recently renovated, everything works perfectly. The wifi is speedy, the parquet flooring is immaculate, and we loved the little terrace – a sweet place to enjoy breakfast before heading out to explore the city.

Sweet Rosa

Bright and thoughtfully designed, this charming apartment borders the luscious gardens of Real Jardín Botánico and is moments away from Caixa Forum’s vertical growing wall and suspended architecture. This elegant home provides an idyllic base for a family or group of friends seeking a calm retreat with cultural hotspots on the doorstep.

We knew that, if the towering wooden front door with pretty cast iron rosettes was anything to go by, this home would be hiding away some pretty impressive features. From the elegant archway to the hand-painted floral panels, the sweet antique toy horse to the immaculately-tiled kitchen – it's a real gem. There’s a tranquil ambience here, which invites you to wind down in the cosy living space whilst the central dining table insists on a homemade tapas spread for a memorable night with your loved ones. 

The surrounding streets are packed with a host of options. Mornings can be best spent altogether walking around El Retiro Park, just a twelve-minute walk away. When it comes to lunch, there’s a whirlwind of culinary offerings so take your pick - a meat-centred affair at Sala de Despiece or hard-hitting small plates at Tripea’s open kitchen in ​​Mercado de Vallehermoso. After your fill, contemplate the artworks in Prado Museum or pop into the boutiques that line the Golden Mile.

El Caballito

The Spy's opulent details, like the stained glass windows and purple velvet dining chairs, ooze character. If you love a good view, this plant filled balcony comes with binoculars to get a better look across the Chueca rooftops. The photos don’t do the master bedroom justice – we can’t get enough of its beautiful tiled floor, and the walk-in wardrobe is an added bonus. The host must be a bit of a neat freak – this is one of the cleanest homes we’ve seen.

The Spy

This minimalist home with a breath of rustic chic is located right only minutes away from the famous Puerta del Sol on one end, and Plaza Mayor on the other – perfect for those in search of that perfect location. This home was built with comfort and functionality in mind, but there are a few design touches that make us excited to have it in our collection. We loved the master bedroom's cosy balcony and the futons in the living room.

Your eyes will pinball in all directions upon stepping into this beautifully curated home, where cool ornaments, fabulous design features and bold colours come together in perfect, funky harmony. 
 
Equal parts bohemian, artsy and elegant, the living area is bathed in light thanks to the stunning arched stained glass window that opens up in three parts to reveal views of the Parroquia de Nuestra Señora de los Dolores church across the street. Further light flows in from the glass doors leading out onto a private rooftop terrace with incredible views over Madrid’s skyline. Whether you start mornings here over fresh coffee and pastries or end the night with a celebratory Sangria, you’ll love feasting on the wide-sweeping views and watching the hustle and bustle below from your privileged seventh-floor vantage point. 
 
Back in the living room, there’s plenty to keep you entertained. Kick back on the stylish Mies Van der Rohe chair with one of the countless books on the shelves or make yourself comfortable as you listen to some vinyl from the host’s extensive collection. In the evenings, gather around the grand dining table for a celebratory soirée, then retreat to the tropical-inspired main bedroom for a blissful night’s sleep. With a children’s bed in the second bedroom as well as plenty of toys and games, this is the perfect spot for families, while the jazzy decor, vinyl collection, DVDs and stacked shelves will keep adults wonderfully happy too.
 
When it comes to exploring, your Chamberí neighbourhood offers a relaxed atmosphere away from the tourist crowds, with an abundance of tapas bars and restaurants frequented by locals. Elsewhere, the ​​Sorolla Museum is a seventeen-minute walk, bustling Gran Vía is an eighteen-minute stroll, while the Royal Palace of Madrid is twenty-five minutes away on foot. 
 


The Rohean

With a coherent style that includes perfect furniture size for a small apartment, Bubble Burst is a picture-perfect example of Madrid boho chic. Put together by a family of interior design aficionados, this home's dreamy atmosphere alone is worth a trip to Madrid. You'll need to go down a full flight of stairs to get to the kitchen, but as long as you're happy with that, this home will offer you style and comfort. Located close to Atocha station, you'll be well-connected to all parts of the city. 

Bubble Burst

Style, comfort and spectacular proportions meet at this impressive home in Chueca. Decked out with trendy vintage furniture and striking artworks, the ground-floor apartment is a masterful demonstration of how to fill large spaces. The main living area boasts high ceilings and four French doors that fill it with light – with separate lounging and dining areas, this is likely where you'll spend most of your time.

The kitchen has been given a modern upgrade, fitted with sleek white units and blue-tiled floors. Whip up quick breakfasts to serve at the breakfast bar, and spend sunny evenings trying your hand at Spanish cooking with the double doors thrown open. There's also a separate office with an antique desk, ideal for those hard-working guests who can't quite leave work at home.

Sitting in one of Madrid's liveliest neighbourhoods, this pad is steps away from an eclectic assortment of restaurants and bars that spill onto the pavements. Stock up on fresh produce at the San Antón and Plaza del Dos markets, and venture over to the art triangle – the Prado is just fifteen-minutes – for a culture-filled afternoon.

Antiguo

Access to Beach

If you're looking for a cool city pad right in the thick of the action, this location is as central as it gets. Placed just one minute away from Gran Via, Madrid's grandest boulevard, and with two of the city's most happening barrios (that's neighbourhoods to us) close by, you can experience the best of Madrid living here. Potter about the coffee shops, bakeries, and vintage clothing stores of Malasaña (five-minute walk) by day. Then head to the bustling tapas bars and restaurants of Chueca (nine-minute walk) by night. When it's finally time for you to all rest your heads, there's a sleek, contemporary apartment waiting. Awash in cleansing whites, with just the occasional pop of colour, we love the luminous, spacious feel about this place. Slide open the smart pocket doors to reveal bedrooms bathed in natural light and crisp white linens, large hotel-like bathrooms with rainfall showers and twin sinks, and a lounge area with heaps of room to crash out. But really, it's those beautiful views of the urban rooftops seen from the dining area that will be grabbing your attention – it's a lovely spot to sit and watch life go by, whatever time of day.

The Yellow Den

Wheelchair Access

The terrace is the first thing that strikes you about Sail-Shade, so let’s not dwell on that. The living room is lovely, and the rest of the place is very comfortable, if not particularly ground-breaking. The atmosphere is almost like a hotel – you have both a twenty-four-hour reception, and a daily cleaning service – but that also goes the other way. The flat is missing some of the character that you’d expect if it were actually someone’s home. 


Sail-Shade

Sitting in the popular Chueca neighbourhood, this bright studio apartment is in an excellent location to explore the Spanish capital. Close to lots of shops, restaurants and cultural institutions, it’s a great option if you’re in Madrid to experience some of the vibrant city life. 

This home may be on the small side, but it certainly packs a punch. With a sleek kitchen and hotel-style bedroom, all your needs are taken care of. Your hosts have decorated it minimally but with a stylish hand – the highlight for us is the Scandi-inspired dining set. Look forward to retiring to the tucked-away bedroom nook after a busy day of landmark-hopping.

And speaking of landmarks, you won't have to travel far to see Barcelona's best. The beautifully-manicured El Retiro Park, complete with a rose garden and boating lake, is just a leisurely fifteen-minute stroll away. Walk through the triumphal Puerta de Alcalá to enter and enjoy a lazy afternoon in the gardens. From here, the world-famous Prado is within easy reach. Marvel at some of the country's best-known artworks before finding a traditional tapas bar nearby to while away the evening.

The Understudy

Bathrobes

Shifting Gears has clearly been designed by someone with an eye for interiors. Even though the footprint is pretty small, the space has been manipulated cleverly to make it feel much bigger. Some of the design is more what you’d expect to find in Copenhagen than in Madrid (the wall-mounted bike feels like a particular candidate for an Instagram post). There’s even a balcony, which although too small for socialising, has a lovely view out over La Latina.


Shifting Gears

We dare you to find a better location for this stylish apartment, stood right in the beating heart of Madrid. You can be ambling along the city's grandest boulevard, Gran Via, with its towering belle-époque facades brimming with restaurants and boutiques, in one minute flat. You're also set equidistance between two of the city's most happening barrios (that's neighbourhoods to us). Head to Malasaña (a five-minute walk) for a morning pottering about the coffee shops, bakeries, and vintage clothing stores. Then grab a table outside at one of the many bustling tapas bars and restaurants of Chueca (a nine-minute walk) and watch day turn to night. Back at home, this apartment housed in an elegant period building along a pretty tree-lined street gives all the Spanish feels – think grand stone facades with ornate balconies. But once inside, this property is as contemporary as it gets, awash in crisp-white interiors. Groups of friends will love the sense of space here, with a vast lounge to crash out in, airy bedrooms bathed in natural light, and sparkling bathrooms with rainfall showers.  So, gather your troops and make it snappy – this place has got fun written all over it.

Home to stately buildings, tree-lined streets and some of the best shopping and dining in Madrid, swanky Salamanca is a pretty impressive neighbourhood to call home. Museums, metro stops, galleries and the gorgeous Parque de El Retiro are all within easy reach of this modern apartment, which is smack dab in the heart of this lively area.

Inside, this contemporary pad has everything you need to make yourself at home after a day filled with shopping and sightseeing in the Spanish sun. Kick back on the cosy sectional sofa with a glass of Cava and rest weary legs, or head straight to the stylish bedroom for some well-deserved shut-eye. Although it's small, the innovative design makes the most of the space – a small desk is tucked into the bookshelf, built-in appliances in the kitchen keep everything sleek and tidy and the coffee table can become a four-seater dining table if needed. Every room is filled with light and features vibrant artwork, white-washed walls and minimal decor – we think it's the perfect blend of comfort and style.

Bloomsday

Angela, the host, actually used to live in this apartment when she was a kid. She later inherited it from her father. It was empty for a while, but then she decided to refurbish it with the aid of her husband and daughter (who are both architects), the result being a rustic-meets-Scandinavian-style home of our dreams. It's impossible to find fault with the design – it’s truly the stuff that interior design magazines are made of. Set against Malasaña, the location is also wonderful, with concept stores, independent eateries and coffee shops on your doorstep.

Bohemian Night's Dream

In the middle of Salamanca, and with El Retiro park at the end of the road, White Cardinal is in a great location for exploring Madrid and doing some high-end shopping.  It’s a simple flat, without much flash, but it’s comfortable, and the kitchen is very well equipped, particularly for a space of its size. The windows face an internal courtyard, which is both a blessing and a curse – a bit of natural light is sacrificed, but it also means that there isn’t as much noise as if the street were directly below. 


White Cardinal

You'll be in good company with a stay at this elegant apartment, overlooking one of Madrid's most iconic baroque churches and with the emblematic Royal Palace just around the corner. With so many hotspots on your doorstep, it's no surprise this place is slap bang in Madrid's Centro district. Dive into its history-rich streets dotted with royal palaces and uncover leafy plazas at every turn – there's a sunny spot at an outdoor cafe waiting just for you when thoughts turn to a crisp glass of vino and tapas plates. More of a sweet tooth? Then the famed Chocolatería San Ginés for churros with chocolate is dangerously close, just a five-minute stroll away.

Back home, behind the building's opulent 1880s façade, a crisp, contemporary home awaits. Flanked by Juliet balcony doors opening onto the neighbouring Iglesia de San Nicolás, natural daylight bounces off the bleached wood floors right up to those high ceilings to glorious effect. With a free-flowing living space, king-sized bedrooms, and two marble-clad walk-in shower rooms to kickstart your day, this place feels vast by Madrid standards. And you're sorted for work with a dedicated desk tucked away in the bedroom – though that dining table with a view is as good a spot as any to play catch-up on emails. Just don't work too hard – Madrid is waiting.
