Two terraces, lush greenery climbing the walls, and a jungle-inspired aesthetic make this Madrid apartment unlike most city retreats. Step out from the living room onto the timber-decked terrace for an alfresco dinner, or head up to the upper-floor terrace when the sun is out. The bedroom sits on its own level, quiet and removed from the living areas, with a dedicated workstation if you need to get something done, and a record player adds a nice touch for slower evenings. Parque de El Retiro is on your doorstep, and the upscale Salamanca shopping district is close by – with two metro stations nearby for wherever else Madrid takes you.

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.
