This home offers a simple base for travellers with busy schedules. While there's little privacy to be enjoyed for up to four guests, the packed kitchen has everything you'll need to whip up a hearty breakfast. Plus, the balcony promises a bit of outside space for fresh-air downtime. What we love is the nearby restaurants and public transport links, inviting you to explore the city further. For those itching to get the most out of sightseeing, luggage storage can be arranged.

Parking On Street

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.

You'll find this apartment on the outskirts of central Madrid, where you can enjoy the peace away from the hustle and bustle but still get there within minutes. Though it isn't the most charming space, it is well-kept and comfortable for a couple or solo wanderer. It can also sleep two more guests on the sofa bed, but it would make it a little less private and a little more cramped. Still, you have a balcony with outdoor seating when you need breathing room. An eight-minute walk will get you to Nueva Numancia, where public transport can help with your exploring needs.

A Spanish Affair

This cosy studio apartment makes for a pleasant base for a romantic visit to Madrid. There’s a handy kitchenette for whipping up light snacks, and a dining table that doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace. There’s a petite balcony, ideal for sipping your morning coffee or for enjoying a glass of Spanish red before heading out to dinner. This apartment isn’t the most soulful space, but it’s a practical and comfortable base in the city.

In the heart of Madrid’s artsiest neighbourhood, Barrio de las Letras, this studio apartment is the perfect base for a cultural city break. First of all, you’ve got the world-famous Prado museum a five-minute walk away, then there’s the sprawling greenery of Retiro Park, just seven minutes on foot. If locally-grown fresh food and lazy lunches of tapas are your thing, head to Antón Martín Market, an eight-minute walk away.

Perhaps stock up and head back to your quiet bolthole, where a compact but fully-equipped kitchen awaits. Floor-to-ceiling French-style windows let the sunshine stream in, so dining at the table inside is a delight during the day. The decor is neutral and soothing in dove-grey and dusky pinks. The best bit? You can take your fresh olives from the market and a bottle of wine up to the shared rooftop terrace where an outdoor lounge with rooftop views awaits.

Fire Extinguisher

While this studio apartment situated in the heart of Madrid may be small in size, it more than makes up for it in charm and comfort. An ideal base for a couple or a solo traveller, this city gem has everything to make your stay a restful one, and when it comes to exploring the many wonders the Spanish capital has to offer, you couldn’t wish for a better location as your starting point.

Enter to be greeted by a warm and welcoming space, bathed in light flooding in through the large windows which lead onto a little balcony. Overlooking a charming street of the Barrio de las Letras, this is a lovely place to sit down and enjoy your morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening. Back inside you’ll find a large sofa inviting you to kick off your shoes and relax after a day of dashing around the city – settle in for a snuggly night of movies. The bright and well-equipped kitchen will make rustling up a quick and delicious supper a breeze, and you’ll be able to savour it at the dining table. 

A great added bonus is the roof terrace where you can lounge about on the comfy seats and admire the city views sprawling out before you. For a night of restful sleep, you’ll love the soft and comfy bed – and while it shares the space with the rest of the living area, the smart and elegant design means that you won’t feel cramped here. 

Outside your front door, you’ll be just minutes away from the great museums, including the Reina Sofia and Museo del Prado, as well as the beautiful Retiro Park.

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.

Museum lovers will be in their element at this stylish abode in Madrid's Golden Triangle of Art. The Prado Museum, Reina Sofía Art Centre and the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum are all within a fifteen-minute walk, and the famed El Retiro Park is just steps from your front door. If you're not sold by the unbeatable location, maybe the home's chic interior design and cosy ambience will entice you.

Every inch of this apartment exudes good taste, from the herringbone floors to the sleek subway-tiled kitchen. Though on the smaller side, you'll find everything need to prepare light Spanish-influenced meals – which you can enjoy at the nifty four-person dining table. After an evening on the town, get comfortable in front of the plasma TV, a throw on your lap and a glass of sangria in hand. 

Retiro Abode

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.

Boasting a privileged position in Madrid’s culture-rich Las Letras neighbourhood, this top-floor apartment offers comfort and style in equal measure. 
 
Its slanted ceilings and contemporary decor make an immediately striking welcome in the open-plan living area, bathed in light thanks to the scenic skylights that give way to rooftop views. Make yourself comfortable in the seating nook with a glass of wine after a day of exploring the city, or gather together at the dining table for a meal when you’re not out sampling the lively local tapas scene. The beamed bedroom is a serene space you’ll love retreating to at the end of the night, as you fall asleep to the glow of the moon through the skylight. 
 
What’s more, you’ve got access to the building’s shared rooftop terrace – a beautiful sun trap that beckons alfresco breakfasts and celebratory sundowners as you watch the light fade over the city. 
 
When it comes to sightseeing, you’re in an ideal spot to make the most out of Madrid’s most celebrated museums with the famous Museo Nacional del Prado a five-minute walk and the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía a seven-minute stroll. You’re also a thirteen-minute walk from leafy El Retiro Park, a fifteen-minute stroll from Plaza Mayor, while bustling Gran Vía is ten minutes away on foot.

It's situated near the Triangle of the Art, within walking distance of countless museums, theatres, and performing arts centres.

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.

Welcome Hamper

If you want to stay in a prestigious neighbourhood, how about this home in Salamanca? There are plenty of designer boutiques, art galleries and fine-dining restaurants to explore in the area. 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

Single-Level Home

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.

Nestled in the heart of Madrid, this stylish apartment couldn't be better placed for some fun in the city. The interiors boast plush furnishings, exposed brick and lots of natural sunlight, whilst outside you'll find a small but cosy terrace. Start the day with a home-cooked breakfast thanks to the contemporary kitchen, then tuck in alfresco with a cup of coffee before heading out to explore.

Step out of the front door and you'll be on the bustling streets of Madrid, within an easy distance of the area's main attractions. Soak up the city's cutting-edge culture with a tour of the Prado Museum, take a stroll around El Retiro Park and sample some of Spain's best restaurants right on your doorstep.

City Sunlight

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.

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.

The Venetian

Positioned just a fifteen-minute stroll from El Retiro Park, this home provides a stylish base in Madrid’s beating heart. You’ll find it nestled in the cobbled streets of Barrio de las Letras, surrounded by an array of eateries, bars, and museums, the Reina Sofia and the Museo del Prado, less than ten minutes from your doorstep on foot. Perched on the third floor, it boasts delightful views from its street-facing balcony. After a restful slumber, spend mornings out here, tucking into coffee and in the sunshine before slipping out to explore. 

The interior is stylishly furnished and, with its free-flowing layout, provides the perfect space for couples. A timeless canvas of high ceilings and hardwood floors is brimming with contemporary comforts, including a fully equipped kitchen, while large windows usher in floods of sunlight. Between adventures in the city, you’ll love kicking back in your air-conditioned pad. Snuggle up on the plush sofa, gather around the dining table for a home-cooked meal or enjoy a glass of wine on the balcony at sunset.

Trash Compactor

If you want to be right at the centre of the action in Madrid, then this is the apartment for you. Situated right on Calle Mayor – one of the city's best-known streets – it's within easy reach of all the delights the capital city has to offer. 

The home itself is an elegant space filled with charm, and the high ceilings and tall windows mean there is plenty of natural light. The host has a great eye for stylish furniture – from the marble kitchen counter to the lavish patterned rugs, you'll love the luxurious feel. Practise your Spanish-style cooking in the kitchen before serving your culinary creations to your guests at the gorgeous dining table. Then, after dinner, open up a bottle of Rioja and head out to the private balcony to watch the world go by from above. 

There are also plenty of restaurants nearby, serving everything from traditional tapas to ramen and tacos. Madrid's historic square, Plaza Mayor, is just a two-minute walk away from your front door, as is the famous Puerta del Sol. You'll also find several museums and theatres in the surrounding area, and if you fancy exploring another part of the city then simply hop on the metro at Sol station – it's just a couple of minutes away. 

Morning in Madrid

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 

Step into the heart of Madrid with a stay in this contemporary loft. From the simple aesthetic to the functional design, this is a great option for couples and solo travellers in search of a refreshing city stay. At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living room and the main bedroom is located on the mezzanine level (with no door), but you’ll find all the essentials needed to make it your own. Outside, it’s just a short stroll to local tapas bars, shops and iconic sights like the Royal Botanical Garden of Madrid. 


Madrid's Sky Loft

Boasting a fabulous location in the heart of one of Madrid's most happening, fun-filled neighbourhoods (and that's saying something), this elegant holiday apartment offers Spanish style and a sense of effortless chic in abundance. 

Luxuriate in its open-feeling spaces that are filled with Southern European sunshine, savouring welcome moments of stillness over a cup of freshly brewed aromatic coffee, or whilst pouring over the pages of a great book (or pouring the vino). No matter what the perfect city break looks like to you, or indeed whether you're travelling with friends, family, or that special someone – or for business or pleasure – this place offers a comfortable Pied à Terre with something for everyone.

And that's all within the walls of this home. Step outside and you'll be confronted by a wealth of cultural attractions, including the National Archaeological Museum, the Lázaro Galdiano, the Juan March Foundation and the Madrid WiZink Center, among a whole host of vibrant tapas bars and plenty of cool bars that keep Madrid's nightlife effervescing until the early hours. You'll also find boutiques of the most prestigious national and international designers as Ortega y Gasset Street is known as Madrid's Golden Mile of fashion.

Talk about being spoilt for choice...

Shades of Salamanca

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. There’s a whole host of eateries on your doorstep, so stop to sample some local cuisine before discovering the elegant boulevards and manicured parks Spain’s capital is so rightfully proud of.

Paid Parking On Premises

The most remarkable thing about Espinas is the quiet. Despite having three balconies, and being in the middle of Lavapiés, the street it looks onto is actually fairly calm. The building is old, and a lot of the original structure features prominently in the flat, which has been designed to complement the space, rather than dominate it. There is some pretty loud wallpaper though, which stops the design from falling into the dreaded ‘neutral’ category.


Espinas

This luxurious apartment is located in the heart of Madrid’s Salamanca district, surrounded by boutiques, restaurants, and cafes. El Retiro Park is less than five minutes away on foot, there are galleries nearby, and a Metro station is just along the road. Housed in a stately building in a classic Madridian style, the apartment is stylish and sophisticated. High ceilings and large windows make it a relaxing space to return to after seeing the sights of the busy city. 


Madrid Living

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.

Centro In Dusk

Tucked away in the heart of the La Latina neighbourhood, this contemporary home is an ideal base for friends or family on a Madrid getaway. Sure, as a party of five, one person will sleep on the sofa bed in the living room, but it’s a small price to pay for this home’s location. Sightseeing comes easily here – you’re a mere kilometre from the iconic Prado Museum, and with Puerta del Sol and Plaza Mayor within easy reach, shopping and sampling some authentic Spanish cuisine is a must. 

La Latina Life

You couldn’t get closer to Madrid’s leafy El Retiro Park – it’s situated on an idyllic street that leads right off the park itself. Look out your window for luscious tree views or walk a few steps and you’ll be surrounded by roses in The Rosaleda. 
 
As you walk into the open-plan space, you’ll immediately be struck by the dazzling amount of natural light pouring in through the wall of windows. Curated with a modern eye for design, the living area sets a striking impression with its glossy red kitchen and statement, ash blue wall. Make yourself comfortable on the plump sofa or armchair with a cold cerveza after a day of sightseeing, before sinking into the serene-hued bedroom for a restful night’s sleep, leaving you feeling refreshed and ready for another day of city exploring. 

Speaking of sightseeing, while away an afternoon exploring the National Archaeological Museum, a fourteen-minute stroll from your door. For a culinary endeavour, seek out a tapas dinner – your neighbouring streets are lined with authentic restaurants. 

A Walk in the Parque

Modern, bright and centrally located close to Madrid’s top sights, this home right by Puerta del Sol is a sunny delight. 

With its blue and white colour scheme, exposed brick details and open-plan layout, it embodies city living in chic, cool style. Open up the bedroom’s French doors to look out over the city from the Juliet balcony first thing in the morning before ambling into the living room where another pair of Juliet balconies await. Kick back on the sofa with your coffee, letting the breeze sweep in through the open doors, then set out for a day of sightseeing – Plaza Mayor is just a seven-minute walk away, Gran Vía is a ten-minute stroll, while both the Royal Palace of Madrid and the world-famous Museo Nacional del Prado are fifteen minutes away on foot. 

After a day of exploring, come back home for a celebratory meal around the glass dining table or head out to discover the neighbourhood’s best tapas bars and restaurants. When it’s time to turn in, your comfortable bed is ready to send you into a peaceful night’s sleep, leaving you rested and ready for another day of Madrid adventure. 

Blue Heartbeats

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

Situated in one of Madrid's most vibrant areas, this charismatic home is a unique way to experience the Spanish capital. Tailor-made for friends or family with a penchant for art and original design, it oozes character from every angle.

Rustic stone walls look into deluxe wooden furnishings, creating a homely vibe that puts you instantly at ease. The entire home spreads across two floors, which exudes a cosy energy without being crowded. Once you've finished marvelling at your premium home, the magnetic energy of Madrid is just a moment away.

Major landmarks, such as the iconic Royal Palace, can be easily reached on foot. Embark on a day of sightseeing, fuelled by pit-stops at the authentic cafes and restaurants for fresh sangria and tasty paella. When the sun shines on the charming metropolis, there are an abundance of luscious parks to rest your legs.

If you'd prefer a low-key evening, you can rustle up some tapas in the kitchen and share food and conversation over the dining table. 


Artistic Heights

Keen to be in the hustle and bustle? This apartment, just a ten-minute stroll from Gran Vía, may be a great choice. It's easy to get to all the landmarks on foot or by metro, and there are a lot of bars and restaurants nearby. Unsurprisingly it can get a tad noisy – but that's part of the city experience. We love the bright living area, and the two snug bedrooms channel Spanish sunshine with their yellow paint. Size-wise, it's rather compact but still comfortable – just note that it's on the second floor and lacks a lift.

Amber Thistle

Balcony / Patio

With its elevated position in the heart of Madrid, this stylish apartment welcomes you to an uplifting stay in the city.

Just a ten–minute walk from the iconic Puerta del Sol and Plaza Mayor, this is a wonderful place to experience the cultural depth and beauty of the surroundings. And as soon as you step inside, you’ll want to pause and admire the details that make this home unique. From the traditional wooden beams to the elegant styling, every detail inspires a sense of warmth and ease. And whether you’re preparing a Spanish-inspired meal or relaxing on the sofa, there’s a lovely sense of harmony that makes it easy to settle in. 

Days can be spent exploring, shopping, sightseeing and simply enjoying the inspiring energy of the city. El Retiro Park is only a twenty–five–minute away and makes a wonderful sport for an afternoon stroll. Wherever the day takes you, this home provides a calm oasis in the heart of the city. 

Abode in the Sky

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

Executing – in style, might we add – the seemingly impossible feat of being right in the middle of it all while exuding total tranquillity, this home in Madrid is quite the overachiever. It sits in the affluent neighbourhood of Madrazo, tucked away on a side street and just a five-minute stroll from the glitzy Gran Vía. Perched up high on the fourth floor and boasting a private rooftop terrace, this chic urban oasis provides the perfect escape.

Before you can even step through the door, this home's elegant facade and majestic marble entryway will sweep you off your feet. The interior is just as impressive. Exquisitely renovated, it's brimming with contemporary comforts while maintaining timeless original features, including high ceilings and large windows, ushering in floods of sunlight. We especially love the chic open-plan living space, where floor-to-ceiling French doors reveal four street-facing balconies – a lovely spot to enjoy your morning coffee. Though, let's not forget the real showstopper – the rooftop terrace. Catch some rays here between adventures and, in the evenings, enjoy a glass of wine on the plush sofas as the sun sinks below the terracotta-tiled rooftops.

The Moment

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. Plants give this place a homely feel, while modern prints enliven the white walls – this home is ideal for two couples or a family wanting plenty of attractions within easy walking distance.



Terciopelo Verde

This bright, stylish apartment is a superb base for six in Madrid. It’s centrally located, right next to the Parque del Retiro – the city centre’s largest park. You’ll be in the heart of the so-called tapa mile, the neighbourhood with the highest concentration of high-end cuisine in Madrid. When you’re not out seeing the sights or dining in style, you’ll be grateful to have such a marvellous home-from-home. One of the bedrooms is set up with a sofa bed and also has a desk, so is ideal for those working during their stay. 

Parkside Haven

Located next to Atocha station and near Retiro Park, the Prado National Museum, and numerous restaurants, this sleek and modern apartment places you in the heart of the action. So, whether you’re wanting to sample the local cuisine or hop on the metro to explore further afield, you’re perfectly placed to do so. With all the mod-cons needed for a comfortable stay, this home promises a restful retreat. And if you’re in the city for business rather than pleasure, the desk nestled in a quiet office space is perfect for remote working.
