Beautifully dressed in muted colours offset by stylish ornaments and carefully curated feature lighting, the open-plan living area is the definition of understated elegance, made all the more dazzling by the ample natural light pouring through the windows. Make yourself comfortable on the sofa or armchair with a cup of coffee and a good book, or better yet, open the glass door to step out onto a private balcony decked out with a table and chairs. This is the perfect spot to begin your mornings over fresh coffee ahead of a day of sightseeing or to start the evening with a celebratory sundowner before discovering the fine dining restaurants on your front step. With two stylish bedrooms and a pair of sleek bathrooms boasting luxurious rainfall showers, you’ve got everything you need for a relaxing stay – not to mention the luxe extras your host is happy to organise, including private chefs, personal trainers, chauffeurs and more. Outside of your home, the city is your oyster with countless things to see and do nearby.

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.
