Just a five-minute saunter to Madrid's green lungs of El Retiro Park, a beautiful green expanse filled with impressive water-fountain displays, this home feels like a countryside escape, even though it's located around the corner from one of the most luxurious shopping streets in the city – Calle Gran Vía. Inside, sophistication meets charming Spanish quirk, with dazzling chandeliers, ornate furnishings and unique artwork. With large windows and ample space, the lavish bare bones of this home go hand-in-hand with the elegant decor that makes for a classy yet homely feel. We love the colourful dining area and rustic kitchen that combines beautifully with its light wood and yellow walls to create an authentic style. Find four bright and uplifting bedrooms with swanky en-suite bathrooms for all the peace and privacy you could need while visiting the bustling Spanish capital.

Local guide
About Retiro
Old-school charm is the name of the game in Retiro, an elegant residential neighbourhood at heart. Its nerve centre, a sizeable park that was created as a retreat for the Royal Family, is famous for its beauty and most visited during sunny days. Its glamorous past is still visible, but nowadays El Retiro is most popular with joggers and those who want to escape the noise of the city centre...
