The very definition of sunshine vibes, this wonderfully bright apartment in Madrid’s Puente de Vallecas neighbourhood is all set to offer you a relaxing, carefree stay. From its wood floors to its abstract art prints and tangerine-coloured kitchen tiles, there’s a feeling of playful fun here that matches the city’s laid-back style. Step out of the open-plan living area to be greeted by a private terrace – the ideal spot for some afternoon sunbathing and a glass of wine at sunset. The bedroom meanwhile is elegantly pared-back and offers yet another balcony that beckons morning coffees as your soak up those early morning rays. When you’re not hanging out in your scrumptiously sweet pad, take in breathtaking views over the city from Tío Pío's Hill (a twenty-minute walk) and discover the many shops, restaurants and bars on your doorstep. Alternatively, hop on the Metro to experience the city centre’s iconic sights like El Retiro Park and the Prado Museum which are both just under thirty minutes away.

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...
