Unusual antique furniture and tiled floors characterise this well-placed home in the heart of Opera y Palacio Real. The bedrooms are a real highlight – both flooded with natural light, you can hear birdsong from the windows. Just a five-minute walk from Plaza Mayor and Puerta del Sol, this home is strategically placed for a day exploring Madrid. Despite its vibrant and busy neighbourhood, it benefits from being located on a quiet side street away from much of the traffic.

Local guide
About Opera y Palacio Real
The small neighbourhood of Opera y Palacio Real sits next to the Royal Palace and its grand squares with manicured gardens. It’s also home to El Teatro Royal, the grand opera house. This part of town has an abundance of space and is far less busy than other parts of central Madrid – the calmness of the area makes it popular with families. You’ll find high-end local shops to peruse, as well as excellent restaurants, in this refined and sedate neighbourhood.
