Located in Atocha, this home will put you within walking distance of Madrid's famous sights–and we mean all of them. From Plaza Mayor to the Prado, you'll be surrounded by the best of Madrid whatever direction you head off to. Retro Baroque is an eclectic home that doesn't hide its eccentricities.

Local guide
About Atocha
When thinking of Atocha, the mammoth train station immediately comes to mind. While it’s a transport hub connecting Madrid to all others parts of Spain, its appeal lies in more than just logistics. The station itself is full of restaurants (some are the best in the area), and the sprawling streets around it will slowly lead to some of the best museums in town. Staying here will place you within walking distance of Prado, The Reina Sofia Museum, and Retiro Park.
