Bali meets Madrid at this home situated in elegant Chamberí. Relax on the terrace with its raffia shaded daybeds with a piña colada or feast on churros for breakfast at the dining table – we could stay here all day. The Indonesian theme continues inside with lush potted palms, geometric lantern-style lights, and a bamboo curtain that reveals a modern kitchen. Put some vinyl on the record player while you prepare a delicious home-cooked meal. If you can tear yourself away from the terrace, Chamberí awaits. Culture lovers can head to the Sorolla Museum and art gallery, set within an elegant 19th-century house, a fifteen-minute walk away. It's the same distance to Teatros del Canal, where you can watch a flamenco performance, or admire the mansions and browse the boutiques on Calle Zurbano, then go for tapas in Plaza de Olavide (six minutes on foot). Alternatively, if you crave green space, visit El Retiro Park, just over a twenty-minute walk from this gorgeous home.
