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.

There's a reason Salamanca is one of Madrid's most sought-after neighbourhoods. 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. Netflix and a Playstation have rainy days covered, and although it's not the most exciting home, we like the design – particularly the colourful wallpaper in the bedroom.

Bright and contemporary, we think this open-plan studio is perfect for a solo traveller or a couple craving a stay in Madrid.

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.

Locally, El Retiro Park is a stone’s throw away, where lush scenery awaits.

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

Just moments from Madrid’s lively Carrer d'Enric Granados, El Retiro Park and Museo Nacional del Prado, this apartment is a pretty idyllic base.

The workspace overlooking the Juliet balcony is the perfect spot to fire off emails, and there’s a Bluetooth speaker to soundtrack your work session. While this area has more than enough to keep you busy within walking distance, Retiro metro station is a short walk away, so you can explore the city’s cultural landmarks further afield.

Madrid Hues

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.

There are plenty of fine dining options in the Salamanca neighbourhood, too, including a variety of Michelin-starred restaurants. 

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.

Chic Bambú

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. In the evenings, whip up tapas in the chrome kitchen (it has everything you need for cooking) and gather around the dining table with a delicious meal, a bottle of wine and good company. Have a dance as a record spins on the vinyl player, or just snuggle up on the squishy L-shaped sofa for a Netflix movie night. When you're in the mood to explore, just step outside and take your pick. Michelin-star restaurants, upscale food markets, luxury boutiques and trendy bars are par for the course in this postcode. Enjoy a stroll around the picturesque Parque de El Retiro (a ten-minute walk) or hop on the metro at Serrano or Velázquez and zip around the city with ease – Plaza Mayor and central Madrid are just a twenty-minute ride away.

Framed In Bamboo

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.



Terracotta & Hemp

Situated in the heart of L'Esquerra de l’Eixample, this neighbourhood is a hit for cafe culture and art lovers. The apartment may be a better base for travellers seeking a lively stay in Barcelona, as you'll find gay bars and a student atmosphere within strolling distance. 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

With the high-end boutiques of the famous Golden Mile and see-and-be-seen designer tapas bars all just a short walk away, you’ll never be short of things to do. While there’s no outdoor space to speak of (this is central Madrid, after all), the Juliet balcony windows are a nice touch. Perfect for friends or colleagues sharing, each bedroom has a dedicated desk space and separate bathrooms to help speed your mornings along.
