Boasting a privileged position in Madrid’s emblematic Centro district and just a two-minute walk from bustling Plaza Major, this bright apartment is just the ticket for those looking to be in the heart of the city’s action. Framed on two sides by French windows giving way to pretty Juliet balconies, the living area is the ideal spot to enjoy some Spanish rays pouring through the panes or some people-watching over a glass of wine. The perfectly positioned dining table beckons intimate soirées when you’re not out discovering the local tapas scene, while the pair of simple yet elegant bedrooms invite a restful night’s sleep. Factor in the luxurious bathrooms with their rainfall showers, and you’ve got everything you need for a carefree, relaxing stay. When it comes to sightseeing nearby, you couldn’t be better located. Stroll six minutes to visit the Royal Palace of Madrid, or soak up the buzzy atmosphere of Puerta del Sol, also six minutes away on foot. Those looking to shop should make a beeline for Gran Vía – a ten-minute walk – while those seeking a scenic afternoon amble will delight in El Retiro Park’s leafy boulevards, twenty-four minutes on foot from your door.

Local guide
About Opera y Palacio Real
The small neighbourhood of Opera y Palacio Real sits next to the Royal Palace and its grand squares with manicured gardens. It’s also home to El Teatro Royal, the grand opera house. This part of town has an abundance of space and is far less busy than other parts of central Madrid – the calmness of the area makes it popular with families. You’ll find high-end local shops to peruse, as well as excellent restaurants, in this refined and sedate neighbourhood.
