A calm, design-led apartment on Castelló street in the Castellana neighbourhood, where the surroundings feel sophisticated rather than hectic. The main bedroom is a serene place to decompress after a day out, and the light-filled living area earns its keep – cook, unwind, or put a record on and settle in for the evening. Outside, a balcony gives you a slice of the Madrid streetscape, a rare find in a city apartment. Paseo de la Castellana and its grand boulevard of fountains and cafe terraces is a thirty-five-minute walk away.

Local guide


About Salamanca

Salamanca is Madrid’s most glamorous and prestigious quarter. Usually associated with aristocratic façades, wide avenues, and luxurious living (atypical for Madrid’s cosy centre), the neighbourhood attracts domestic and international elite. It’s also home to many embassies and private schools, as well as niche museums and designer boutiques along its ‘Golden Mile’. The demanding clientele has made the food scene equally exclusive, but while you’re likely to find quite a few Michelin-star restaurants in the area, there are lots of relaxed tapas bars for those less willing to splash the cash.
