Located in Madrid's prestigious Salamanca neighbourhood, full of grand buildings, boutiques and art galleries, this elegant apartment offers an equally as distinguished base to call home. Inside, it's a stylish affair where wood floors, cream tones, artefacts and full-size chandeliers come together to make for a warm and impressionable welcome. We particularly like the golden candlesticks, the statue of a muse and the full-length ornate mirror in the bedroom that add plenty of visual interest. Thanks to the large double doors and wrought-iron balconies, there's an abundance of natural light throughout the day, while the soft furnishings, rugs and vintage lampshades keep things extra cosy. Relax and unwind in the stylish living room after a day of exploring the city. When you're not hanging out at home, go out and explore the bustling Gran Vía area, lined with striking architecture, upscale shops and excellent fine-dining restaurants, just twenty-two minutes' walk away. If you're looking for a break from the excitement of the city, El Retiro Park is only twelve minutes away on foot.

Local guide
About Salamanca
Salamanca is Madrid’s most glamorous and prestigious quarter. Usually associated with aristocratic façades, wide avenues, and luxurious living (atypical for Madrid’s cosy centre), the neighbourhood attracts domestic and international elite. It’s also home to many embassies and private schools, as well as niche museums and designer boutiques along its ‘Golden Mile’. The demanding clientele has made the food scene equally exclusive, but while you’re likely to find quite a few Michelin-star restaurants in the area, there are lots of relaxed tapas bars for those less willing to splash the cash.
