In the heart of Madrid, just a few metres away from Plaza Mayor and within walking distance of Puerta del Sol, this city apartment couldn't be better located. Keep in mind that some noise should be expected here, but we think it's a small price to pay for this central spot. You'll find a great selection of restaurants on your doorstep if you'd like to sample the local cuisine, but if you'd prefer to dine in, the kitchen is well-equipped for homemade tapas.

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.

Nestled in the heart of Madrid, this penthouse apartment is an ideal base for a family or small group of friends on a Spanish stay. We love the contemporary light-filled living space, and there’s plenty of room for everyone to spread out here. But the cherry on the cake? It has to be the private terrace. A sun-kissed spot to sip sangria and gaze out across the city – what’s not to love? And when the vistas draw you out to explore, this home’s proximity to Atocha, Delicias, and Palos de la Frontera metro stations makes sightseeing a breeze.

A comfortable and functional home in the heart of Madrid, this apartment is quiet, inviting and convenient. There’s a winter garden balcony for relaxing with a cup of coffee in the mornings, a sitting room with a collection of books – fitting, considering your home is in the Literary Quarter – and a bright and spacious living area, our favourite place to recline with a glass of wine in the evenings. 

After breakfast cooked up in the modern kitchen, get lost in the charming streets that surround your home. You’re a five-minute walk from the Museo Nacional del Prado, less than fifteen from the sprawling Retiro Park and twenty from the Royal Palace. When all of that exploring works up a hunger, check out your neighbourhood’s impressive culinary scene.

Located in the bustling heart of Madrid – just a one-minute walk from the city’s famous Gran Vía shopping street – this bright, comfortable home is the ideal base for those looking to get the most out of the city’s sights.

With its beach-vibe decor – think wood floors, palm feature walls, houseplants and wicker and wood accents – you’ll feel at ease from the moment you walk through the door. We love how much natural light pours in from the glass doors that lead out onto a Juliet balcony and the chic dining table that invites homemade tapas feasts and elegant soirées catered by a private chef (your host can organise this). The bedroom, meanwhile, is just as serene with its tropical statement wall and king-size bed, while the marble-clad bathroom beckons long bubble baths after a day of seeing the sights.

Speaking of exploring, you’ve got plenty to see and do within easy walking distance, including Puerta del Sol (eight minutes), Plaza Mayor (ten minutes), the Royal Palace of Madrid (fifteen minutes) and the Museo Nacional del Prado (twenty minutes).

Presenting an abundance of natural light, the serene ambience here invites guests to switch off, unwind and recharge – despite the apartment's central location in Madrid. We love the soothing colour scheme of vanilla and macadamia hues in the main living space. After a day of sightseeing, shopping and sampling the local tapas delights, there's nowhere better to kick back and relax. 

And with space to cook and serve up your own aperitifs and meals, you'll have the option of eating out or rustling up your own delicious treats when staying here. Following fun-filled days out exploring the city – where better to soak the day away than the bathtub? Bliss. Located in the Sol neighbourhood, you'll be positioned steps away from the sought-after monuments and attractions and an abundance of stylish boutiques and dining opportunities to discover.

Arrive to be welcomed by a luminous and elegant living room, with huge floor-to-ceiling windows leading straight onto the balcony. This space is filled with gorgeous pieces and unique touches we love, not least the striking wood beams separating the room in the middle. On the other side, you’ll find a dining table where you’ll be able to enjoy communal feasts. Putting together delicious meals will be a breeze thanks to the well-equipped kitchen. After supper, kick off your shoes and relax on the plush sofas in the company of your loved ones. 

For a night of rest and blissful sleep head over to the luxurious bedrooms – before you retreat to the land of sweet dreams, enjoy an indulgent bath in one of the spa-like bathrooms. We love the lovely art which creates a pattern running through the whole apartment, and the bathrooms are no exception. 

When the morning finds you refreshed and ready for a day of city exploring, you’ll be happy to know that you’re in the best possible place from which to reach all the landmarks of this magical city. Lose yourself in the rich art collection at the Prado Museum situated a ten-minute walk away and make the most out of the fantastic range of restaurants and bars in your area.

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 is an elaborate home that impresses with the broad strokes as well as fine ones.

Once a convent, now home to a sleek and contemporary apartment, this place is perfect for families or groups of friends looking to stay in the heart of Madrid. We loved the industrial-chic interiors – it’s all poured concrete floors, exposed brick walls and reclaimed timber beams. Kick back on the royal blue sofa or slink off for a siesta in the quiet bedrooms as the appointed chef of your group whips up Spanish delicacies for lunch. 

After the plates are cleared, plan your itinerary at the dining table. We recommend starting with the Royal Palace, a mere ten-minute walk from your doorstep. If you’d like to stretch your legs a little further, it’s a thirty-minute stroll to El Retiro Park. Pause for a coffee on the buzzing Calle Cava Baja before picking a spot to bask in the sunshine beside El Retiro Lake. 

Royal Indigo

Modern, compact and centrally located, this apartment is the perfect landing pad for those always on the go. Inside, it’s stripped-back and minimalistic with funky patterned walls, tiles and textiles adding interest to the spaces. Wake up feeling refreshed in the neat bedrooms before starting the day with a quick breakfast put together in your fully-equipped kitchen. Once you’ve finished your coffee, head out and explore your surroundings. 

Begin with a trip to the Prado Museum then enjoy a picnic in sunny Retiro Park, a short walk from your doorstep. Mosey over to the Royal Palace or shop ‘til you drop along the Gra Vía. Come evening, seek out a long-standing tablao for a rousing flamenco performance followed by tasty tapas in a laid-back restaurant.

Malasaña is famous for being slightly outrageous, which is probably why Queen of the Castle is in it. A tour of this home reveals a glamorous hybrid design theme that balances modern baroque-inspired pieces with jungle and safari themes – dear lovers of minimalism, you might want to stay elsewhere. But if gold-coated flora and fauna with an occasional crown-cum-skull ensemble sound like heaven to you, then you'll find Queen of the Castle an absolute delight. Not to mention that you'll be within walking distance to Puerta del Sol and the vibrant neighbourhood of Chueca. 

Queen of the Castle

Dressed in earthy tones and with a rustic charm seeping from its walls, this beautiful penthouse is a welcome retreat amidst the hustle and bustle of Madrid. With light ushered in through the large windows, highlighting the exposed beams and comfortable furnishings, you’ll feel at home from the moment you set your suitcases down. We love the window seat nestled by the door to the terrace – perfect for snuggling down with a good book to while away the hours during some downtime in your apartment. 

The rooftop terrace will entice you out with ease. It’s just the spot to start or end the day –  enjoy a morning coffee as the city stirs into life below and the sun warms your skin or gather with friends of an evening, sharing a bottle of wine and tales from the day. Up here, hidden amongst the rooftops, you could almost forget you were in the heart of Madrid. With the distant sounds of the city below, you’ll soon be itching to get out and explore.

While not overly flashy, Molten Bronze's simplicity is refreshing. The interior is clean, with a few things that really standout, like the kitchen splashback, which is not something we get to highlight very often. For the most part, the furniture and decorations come from Maison du Monde, so it’s solid and stylish, if not unique. The location won’t be for everyone – it’s on a busy street in Malasaña, so it isn’t very peaceful, but there’s loads to do and you won’t get bored.

Madrid on My Mind

What a fabulous location this refurbished apartment has – Puerta del Sol, one of the best-known squares in the city, is just a two-minute stroll away. Or, a five-minute walk will take you to one of Madrid's most famous streets, Gran Vía. Watch a production at the Teatro EDP Gran Vía or have lunch at one of its many eateries. Alternatively, the iconic Plaza del Dos de Mayo is a fifteen-minute wander. Here, you'll find plenty of bars, as well as a lively weekend market for fresh produce.  

Take some goodies back to this elegant apartment and whip up a bocadillo de calamares (calamari sandwich) in the sleek, white kitchen and enjoy it at the dining table with its plush green velvet chairs. We love the French doors to the balcony – they allow so much light in, and the views are fantastic.

A soft muted colour palette is offset by bright pops of colour in the living area’s decorative rug and leafy houseplants, with the city just outside creating a dazzling backdrop from your ninth-floor vantage point. Make yourself at home on the comfortable sofa – a glass of Spanish wine in hand – or gather together at the table for an intimate soirée when you’re not out sampling the local tapas bars. 
 
The bedroom is a pared-back yet stylish affair with equally gorgeous views over Plaza de Colón (a three-minute walk away), while the sleek bathroom is a treat to wake up to with its tower shower that will get any day off to a relaxing start. 
 
When you’re ready to venture out for some sightseeing, walk four minutes to visit the National Archaeological Museum or take a stroll through El Retiro Park, a thirteen-minute stroll away. You’re also a fourteen-minute walk from bustling Gran Vía – known for its shops and striking architecture – while the famous ​​Museo Nacional del Prado is twenty minutes on foot from your door.

So after a long day of adventuring, snuggle up on the cosy sofa and stream a classic Pedro Almodóvar movie before retreating to the serene bedrooms for a restful night's sleep. In the morning, sip on a cup of coffee as the colourful streets come to life below. Then, for blissful days out, take a stroll through the lush gardens of Jardines de Sabatini and Plaza de Oriente, mere minutes away from your home.

Inside, exposed beam ceilings, wood floors and colourful decor set a welcoming scene in the open-plan living area. We love the funky art prints decking the walls and the large windows giving way to leafy views.

The pared-back bedroom is a comfortable space you’ll have no trouble falling asleep in, and in the morning, the bathroom’s rainfall shower is sure to get your day off on the right.

Colourful Sol

Access to Beach

We challenge you to find a prettier apartment overlooking the Royal Palace of Madrid. This place is a real showstopper, with twin Juliet balconies opening over Plaza de Oriente Gardens. Bold, bright and just downright beautiful, it's dripping in character thanks to ornate cornice, traditional shuttered windows and classical furnishing. A riot of elegant colours and patterns, it couldn't be further from modern minimalism if it tried.

Once you've arrived and stared out of the window for long enough to take it all in, choose between the two pretty bedrooms – one decorated in calming greens, the other in vibrant terracotta. There's a grand, open-plan living space to keep everything sociable, and a kitchen with everything you'll need for cooking at home. But we suspect you'll be eating out much of the time – it would be rude not to when surrounded by some of the best cafes and restaurants in the city. And with most of the major attractions on your doorstep too, you'll have plenty to see and do.



The Palace Window 

24-Hour Front Desk

With a fantastic address, just off the Paseo de la Castellana, this apartment has a wealth of attractions nearby. The upmarket districts of Salamanca, Chamberi and Justicia are all close, so you'll have plenty of fine restaurants, chic boutiques and art galleries to enjoy. With one of Madrid's main avenues on your doorstep, the slight downside is you will hear some street noise here, but it's easily fixed with some earplugs if you're a light sleeper. We have to say, we love the views over Plaza Villa de París from this home. The kitchen is well-equipped, so you can cook some homemade meals or let your host arrange a private chef to create some of your favourite tapas dishes.

The terrace is the first thing that grabs your attention at this fabulous home, housed in a historic building dating back to 1919 – it's the perfect place for a glass (or a pitcher) of sangria. It really is a fantastic, south-facing outdoor space, with a sunshade – relax on the sun loungers or enjoy some alfresco tapas. There's an outside shower too to rinse off the suncream before going indoors. Inside, there's lots of light, and the huge living room is a wonderful space to entertain. We love the original artwork and colourful wallpapers in the bedrooms. This apartment is perfect for a group of friends, family or professionals on a business trip. We were surprised, as well, given its central, Calle Gran Vía location, how quiet it is here. Step out of the door, and you're on Madrid's most famous street, right in the centre of the capital. Here you'll find some of the city’s most iconic buildings, as well as boutiques, restaurants (let your lovely host make reservations) and bars galore. Take in the incredible views over Madrid from the roof terrace of Círculo de Bellas Artes, a cultural centre offering concerts and exhibitions, a five-minute stroll away. Or, get inspired at Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza with its masterpieces by Van Gogh, Caravaggio and Lichtenstein, nine minutes on foot. Architecture lovers, on the other hand, can admire Ayuntamiento de Madrid, or visit the exhibitions at Colegio Oficial de Arquitectos, both under a ten-minute saunter.

There are plenty of unique pieces here to make it feel just like home – from lovely plants and colourful cushions dotted around to the elegant light fixtures. For those gorgeous communal meals, you’ll be able to enjoy the large wooden dining table, and you can rustle up delicious feasts in the well-equipped kitchen. 

For a taste of true luxury head over to the bedrooms, offering dreamy beds and neutral tones. Why not treat yourself to a bubble bath in the sparkling bathroom before heading off to the land of sweet dreams. 

When you’re ready to head out and explore you’ll find yourself in the best possible location from which to discover Madrid on foot. Whether you fancy a day of admiring beautiful art, a food tour of the excellent restaurants or you simply want to get lost in the charming streets – you’re in the right spot.

Outside, wander through the neighbourhood towards Plaza del Dos de Mayo – only a five–minute walk away.  This historic square is a great spot to soak in the lively city atmosphere from a bar or restaurant – it also has a wonderful weekend market. From here you can spend your day visiting galleries, shopping, dining and admiring Madrid’s iconic sights.

Wherever the city spirit takes you, this home provides the perfect sanctuary to retreat and rest in style.  

The Savannah Rose

Amidst the vibrant streets of Chueca, this apartment makes it easy to enjoy the magic of Madrid. There’s a private terrace for your morning coffee or evening aperitivos. Inside, the rooms have been thoughtfully designed with plenty of personal touches and home comforts. There’s a dedicated desk for remote works and a Bluetooth record player for music lovers. Plus, you’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to activities in this location. Stroll to local bars, cafes, restaurants and iconic sights like El Retiro Park. 


Classic Muse

You’ll find this modern apartment in the lively Chueca barrio, surrounded by cosy cafes, no-fuss tapas bars and cosmopolitan restaurants. The bustling Gran Vía, famous for its shopping opportunities, is close by and you’re within walking distance of some of Madrid’s must-visit sights including the Royal Palace, Prado Museum and leafy Retiro Park. If you’re keen to explore further afield, Chueca metro station is just footsteps from your doorstep. 

Inside the home, whitewashed walls add a fresh feel while exposed brick and black accents add an industrial edge. The living space invites you to sit back and relax with your morning cup of coffee before coming together around the dining table for a continental breakfast. Head through to the bedrooms and you’ll find comfortable beds that make afternoon siestas ever so tempting.

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 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

Set within the heart of Madrid, this apartment is an ideal base for those looking to drop off their suitcases and head out to explore. It's a studio, so space is limited. We think it's best for couples or solo travellers, though a sofa bed could sleep an additional guest if needed. Locally, indulge in some tasty tapas, soak up some culture at the Prado Museum, or head to Plaza Mayor or Puerta del Sol for a true taste of Madrid.

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.

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.
