An elegant space dripping in grandeur, this well-designed delight mixes styles to create a unique ambience, perfect for a stay that is filled with fun and good energy when visiting the artsy city of Madrid. At the heart of the home, the double salon living room presents a beautiful lounge and dining space to retreat to after an action-packed day of exploring the city. We particularly love the mismatched dining table chairs, that give an edge to the rest of the antique dark wood furniture in the room. Meanwhile, the panelled walls and stunning French doors add an air of grandeur and heritage to an otherwise contemporary set-up. From the bay window in the living room, soak up the pristine views of the nature surrounding as the sunbeams through the space and reflects the subtle pops of colour seen throughout. With all that you'll need to feel at home here, balancing your time between experiencing the city and relaxing couldn't be easier. And since you'll be based in the heart of the exclusive residential area of Salamanca, you'll have easy access to more laid-back parts of the city such as El Retiro Park – just a fifteen-minute walk away as well as the shops and museums of Gran Via, reachable in thirty minutes 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.
