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.

With its gourmet eateries, world-renowned museums and luxury boutiques lining the Golden Mile, the area offers something for everyone. Just on the cusp of this swanky postcode is this apartment. The size is ideal for couples and solo travellers, but the option of a single sofa bed keeps sleeping arrangements flexible.

But the internal patio is where we imagine remote workers sipping sangria and making sightseeing plans after a day in the office.

Caramel Coves

Finding a penthouse for two right in the heart of Madrid's most sought-after neighbourhood, Salamanca, is special. But to bag a place with a rooftop terrace to boot? Now that's an all-too-rare thing.

Start your morning on the terrace with café con leches and sweet churros as the city's streets awaken below. And at dusk, toast the day with aperitivos as the city's lights begin to flicker on.

With the stunning green expanse of Retiro only a few blocks away and Madrid's most famous designer boutiques around the corner, Sol Invictus will set you up to see the best of the city straight away. This home has a fairytale air about it, courtesy of the golden details and antique imagery. The transparent doors between the bedrooms and the living room help the natural light get through, but they also mean that there isn't much privacy – maybe not the best option for a business trip.  But for a group of friends or a family, it's a great, comfortable stay.

Sol Invictus

Nestled in Chamberí’s Almagro neighbourhood, you’re guaranteed a sophisticated stay in this Spanish pad. Cosy but well-equipped, as a party of four it’s worth noting that the sofa bed will be in use for two guests, but it’s an ideal base for families or friends who don’t mind sharing the space.

Locally, you’ll find eateries lining the streets serving up authentic cuisine, and a whole host of museums for when you fancy a spot of culture. 

Madrid's Most Chic

We love the soft tones and simple, rustic style of this apartment. When you’re curled up with a guidebook in the light-filled living and dining space, it’s easy to forget you’re in the heart of Barcelona’s bustling Eixample district. But step outside, and you’ll find yourself surrounded by bars, restaurants and theatres. You’re a short walk from Plaça Universitat and Plaça de Catalunya, where you can people-watch for hours.

Comfortable and homely, this Madrid pad is tailor-made for a family or two couples looking to explore the city with ease. The open-plan living and dining area provides ample space for everyone to spread out, and the addition of a desk for remote work is a bonus. And while the kitchen may be lacking a view of any kind, we think you’ll be too focused on rustling up tapas for tea to notice. Locally, El Retiro Park is a stone’s throw away, where lush scenery awaits. 

Madrid Retreat

Found in Barcelona's lively Eixample district, some of the best parts of the city are on your doorstep here. The beach and the Gothic Quarter are easily accessed by metro (both in less than thirty minutes), while the local area has plenty of restaurants, bars, and museums to keep you engaged.

Naturally, you will hear some city noise here. This south-facing apartment is light and bright, and we love the Juliet balcony off the open-plan living room with its leafy Ayala Street views. There’s not much food preparation space in the kitchen, but that said, it’s well-equipped, and you can always let your host arrange for a private chef to cook some authentic tapas dishes.

Modern Hideaway

Situated between Madrid's sought-after Salamanca and leafy Retiro districts – this home has a fabulous location. It's just a three-minute stroll to El Retiro Park with its boating lake and museums.

After all that exploring, relax in this home's comfy living space. We love the unexpected oriental vibe here, with its bamboo plants, blinds and light shades, as well as Japanese prints. Get some fresh air on the balcony, then whip up a bocadillo de calamares in the modern kitchen for lunch. This home has a couple of desks too if you need to catch up on work. It's perfect for a business trip or a small group of friends and family looking for plenty of attractions on their doorstep.

A real treat in the city, it’s just the spot to cool down in the Spanish sun. 

Salamanca Spritz

Inspired by the mountains and Japanese minimalism, it's surprising to find this sleek flat in Barcelona's glamorous Salamanca neighbourhood. Clean lines, wooden details, bespoke furniture and monochrome colours are all accounted for, making this a relaxing and cosy place to rest your head on a visit to Madrid. Business travellers can take their pick of which desk to work from – there's a private study off the master as well as a long table in the back of the living area custom-built for remote working.

There's more than a touch of Saharan style about this super cool place in Salamanca. Set in an upmarket neighbourhood, it's the perfect choice for a longer stay, with plenty of space for up to six. A subtle colour scheme of creams, coffees and terracotta makes for a cool, calm feel and there's a tactile mix of natural materials like linen, hessian and bamboo. We particularly love the huge, L-shaped sofa and the stylish dining table here, and there's a handy choice of workspaces, with desks in the living room and one of the bedrooms. 

Much more than just a base for a whistlestop tour of the city, there's a well kitted-out kitchen for proper home cooking, lots of storage and three big, comfy bedrooms. A glass pocket door even conceals a rare luxury for a city apartment – a laundry room. Just a few steps from the nearest Metro station, it's easy to get around the city from here, and it's less than a ten-minute walk to beautiful Retiro Park.

As for your time indoors, imagine coming together in the modern living area, which opens out to a Juliet balcony. And if there's work to do while you're here, we love that there's a home office to help you focus.

The Painted Image

Inspired by calm desert tones, this stylish apartment located on the southern tip of Madrid’s upscale Salamanca neighbourhood is an ideal base for those looking for a central, comfortable stay.

Make yourself at home on the comfortable sofa with a good book and a glass of Spanish wine while a record plays or catch up on work at the desk space provided. The bright dining area beckons homemade tapas feasts as the city’s lights twinkle through the large window and the bedroom invites a blissful night’s sleep amongst its boho-chic decor.
