Inspired by calm desert tones, this stylish apartment located on the southern tip of Madrid’s upscale Salamanca neighbourhood is an ideal base for those looking for a central, comfortable stay. We love the earthy tones here – rich beige, burnt orange and ochre –paired with wood floors and natural textures that create a serene spot you’ll relish relaxing in. Make yourself at home on the comfortable sofa with a good book and a glass of Spanish wine while a record plays or catch up on work at the desk space provided. The bright dining area beckons homemade tapas feasts as the city’s lights twinkle through the large window and the bedroom invites a blissful night’s sleep amongst its boho-chic decor. Factor in your access to the building’s communal pool and garden, and you’ve got everything you need for a sunny, carefree stay. When you’re not hanging out in your mellow pad, go out and explore your surroundings. You’re just a five-minute walk from El Retiro Park, an eighteen-minute stroll from bustling Gran Vía and twenty minutes on foot from the world-famous Museo Nacional del Prado.

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.
