Nestled in the heart of Madrid – within walking distance of the Plaza de España – this gorgeous, apartment is the perfect setting for your next business trip, family getaway, or couple’s retreat to Spain’s historic capital. We love the industrial feel of the interior here, particularly the exposed brickwork, which blends seamlessly with the leather seating and mahogany drinks cabinet in the stylish sitting room. Kick back and relax under the lounge’s beamed ceiling or step outside and gaze out at the city’s rooftops from the comfort of your private terrace, your camera in one hand and a glass of Rioja in the other. 

If you’re here to explore, you’ll be pleased to discover you’re within striking distance of a whole host of attractions here. Take a tour of the Royal Palace of Madrid, go boating at El Retiro Park, or indulge in a spot of people-watching at Plaza Mayor. However you spend your time here, you’ll love coming home to your gorgeous, fifth-floor apartment, where you’ll find everything you need for a comfortable stay.

Regal Vistas

This chic and attractive apartment has everything you might need for a comfortable city break. It’s located in Chueca, one of Madrid’s liveliest neighbourhoods, full of cafes, boutiques, and bars. Despite its central location, this is a peaceful home-from-home, ideal for unwinding after busy sightseeing days and evenings spent feasting on tapas. It’s bright and welcoming, flooded with light, and has been beautifully decorated in muted tones. Two guests will sleep on a sofa bed in the living room – if you’re hoping for more space, we’d recommend a maximum occupancy of two. 

The Bohemian Retreat

Get to experience all that Madrid has in store with a stay at this stylish and modern ground-floor apartment, situated right in the vibrant heart of the old town. This home is an ideal base for a family or an intimate group of friends wanting to make the most of the central location while at the same time enjoying the comforts of their luxurious urban retreat. 

Step through the front door to be greeted by a cosy and light-filled living room with striking wallpaper patterns and elegant furnishings. You’ll want to kick off your shoes straight away and lounge on the plush sofa which invites you to spend long evenings of wine and conversation with your loved ones. 

You’ll be able to share delicious meals with your whole party at the dining table and the well-equipped kitchen will make rustling them up a work of moments. There’s also a private internal patio, with lovely plants, which offers streams of gently filtered daylight to flood the apartment. 

Factor in the luxurious bedrooms and sparkling modern bathroom and you’ve got all you need for a perfectly restful urban stay. Outside your front door, you’ll find yourself in a prime spot from which to explore, with world-famous museums, iconic landmarks and excellent restaurants and bars all on your doorstep. 

Wallpaper Dreams 

Relax in El Retiro Park with its pretty boating lake and fountains (two to three minutes on foot) when you stay at this modern apartment in one of the most exclusive areas of Madrid. Prado Museum is the same walking distance if you fancy a spot of culture, while Paseo de Recoletos, with its impressive trees and sculptures, as well as historic cafes, is fifteen minutes on foot.

After all that exploring, whip up a fresh glass of orange juice with the juicer in the kitchen and have a rest on your private balcony. We love this space with its verdant topiaries and views over the district – it's perfect for an alfresco lunch or dinner. Inside, large windows allow light to flood in. This place has plenty of mod cons, such as electric closing windows and chromotherapy showers. We’d say this home is ideal for business professionals, a family or a group of friends. 



Fountains in Summer

Nestled among the vivacious nightlife, medieval streets, and traditional tapas bars of Madrid’s lively Lavapiés neighbourhood, this apartment is in the mix of the city’s bursting cultural scene. Here, you’re steps away from the city’s most popular tourist attractions, but far enough from the throngs of crowds.

Stepping inside, you’ll find a bright, minimalist interior that’ll suit any preference. Natural light billows through the patio doors, inviting you to enjoy your morning coffee from the Juliet balcony, watching daily life resume in the streets below. And when you return home after a day of exploring Madrid, enjoy a few glasses of wine and a game of cards around the dining table before heading out to one of Lavapiés’ restaurants.

Whether you’re here for business or pleasure, the central location will certainly come in handy. If you are here for work, the city’s business area is within easy reach – simply hop on the metro to make your way there. But if you want to stay closer to home, you’ll find much to explore. Stroll around the Reina Sofía Museum, marvel at the San Fernando Church, or simply discover the steep streets and traditional corrola buildings. 

City Spirit

With this apartment you get the best of both worlds – it’s situated between the traditional Chamberí district and the vibrant Malasaña neighbourhood. The Centro de Cultura Contemporánea Condeduque is a short stroll away, as is the Liria Palace. There’s a wide array of eateries within walking distance as well, offering cuisines from Spanish to Japanese and Persian. We love the large open-plan living space at this home – this room also sleeps guests three and four on a sofa bed. There’s a desk here too for when you need to work while staying in Spain’s capital city.

Chamberí Light

This Madrid apartment is perfect for solo travellers and couples. It's small but packed with style, from colourful artwork to contemporary details. Layout-wise, it's similar to a studio – a glass wall divides the space, but it has curtains for privacy. You'll have a glimpse of the cathedral, too – proof that you're right in the heart of the action here. All the must-see spots are within walking distance. Mercado de la Cebada is practically next door, Plaza Mayor is ten minutes on foot, and an array of bars and restaurants are at your fingertips.

Cebada & Cathedral

Located in Madrid’s central Justicia neighbourhood, this practical studio-style apartment may be short on space, but it offers a prime position from which to soak up the best of the city’s sights. At full capacity, two guests will need to share the sofa bed which will make the living area a little tight. And the lack of natural light and views may not suit those looking for a more scenic stay. But for a base to drop your bags and explore nearby Gran Vía, El Retiro Park and Plaza Mayor, it’s a cosy spot that hits the mark. 


The Long Journey

If you're looking for a home that combines a chic aesthetic with an excellent location, then this is the place for you. Located in the Salamanca district of Madrid, the apartment reflects its stylish surroundings perfectly – for fans of the finer things in life, it doesn't get better than this. 

The large French windows bathe the whole living space in natural light, and there are two inter-connected living areas, so everyone has space to relax in style. The interior design is modern yet classic – you'll love the ornamental fireplace, patterned rug, and carefully considered pops of colour. The kitchen is kitted out with everything you need to whip up some of your favourite Spanish dishes, and there's even a little balcony where you can enjoy a morning coffee or evening sundowner in the fresh air. 

Head outside to explore the 19th-century streets of Salamanca and admire the gorgeous architecture as you get to know the neighbourhood – it's one of the most desirable in all of the city. The nearby Golden Mile is home to many boutiques where you can treat yourself to designer pieces, and the upscale food market Platea Madrid is just eight minutes away. And, with Velázquez metro station just one minute away, you can get around the rest of the city quickly and easily. 

Twist Of Lime

You’ll find this Spanish pad in the Recoletos neighbourhood in Madrid, making it an ideal base for leisure and business travellers alike. Comfortable for four people, you can squeeze in an extra guest as long as they don’t mind sleeping on the sofa bed in the living room. Locally, if you’re not wanting to cook, you’ll find a selection of eateries lining the streets below, and El Retiro Park on your doorstep when you fancy a fresh air stroll. Keen to explore more of the city? The nearby metro station, Colón, is ready and waiting to whisk you away. 

Madrid on My Mind

It can be difficult to find accommodation suited to larger groups in the heart of the city, but this smart apartment will tick all the boxes. With plenty of space and flexible sleeping options, this central home is the perfect place to spend some quality time with your guests between your sightseeing excursions. 

You'll love the spacious living area, with double-height ceilings and huge windows that flood the space with natural light. The bike sculptures and selection of houseplants add some quirkiness, while the open-plan layout is perfect for socialising. Uncork a bottle of delicious Spanish wine, and put together some tasty tapas dishes to share at the stylish dining bench. And, when it's time for bed, you can head upstairs to one of the cosy bedrooms, furnished with a blend of vintage and contemporary pieces. 

The famous Puerta del Sol is just an eight-minute walk away from your front door, where you can see famous sights like the Puerta del Sol Clock and the El Oso y El Madroño sculpture. History fans will be happy to know that the Royal Palace is a fifteen-minute walk away, and the Museo Nacional del Prado is the same distance in the opposite direction. And, if you're craving some serenity after all that sightseeing then head to El Retiro Park and wander through the rose gardens before enjoying a picnic by the lake. 

Wheels In Motion

Just a ten-minute walk from Plaza Mayor, this stylish flat isn't messing about when it comes to location. Interesting museums, high-end shopping and many of Madrid's must-see landmarks are a quick stroll away – including Puerta del Sol, Parque de El Retiro and Palacio Real de Madrid, just to name a few. If you love trying new cuisine, you're in luck – this neighbourhood has an array of delectable restaurants and lively bars to while away the evenings in.

Or, if you're partial to homecooked meals, make your way back to this stylish flat and rustle up something tasty in the kitchen. It has everything you'll need – a large island, built-in appliances and plenty of counter space. The rest of the flat is impeccable, too – two glossy bathrooms (one decked out with bold palm leaf wallpaper, another en-suite) feature rainfall showers, the comfortable bedrooms are cosy and pared-back and the bright living area boats a squishy sofa and a lovely Juliet balcony that floods the room with light. We think you'll love calling this apartment home, whether you're in town for a few days or a few weeks.
