Sitting right behind the historic Campo del Moro Gardens, this bright apartment puts you in a prime position to explore Madrid’s most historic sights – from a calm and stylish base no less. Sparkling white walls, contemporary furnishings and glittering silver, gold and pastel accents make for a fashionable welcome in the main living space, cleverly divided by half-walls to conceal a sunny dining nook. Start mornings here over fresh coffee and locally bought pastries or end the night with a celebratory dinner over a bottle of Spanish wine. The two bedrooms, meanwhile, offer a restful night’s sleep in their comfortable beds and there’s a desk in one of them too should you need to catch up on work. When it comes to exploring, you’ve got plenty from which to choose nearby, including Plaza de España (a seven-minute walk), the ancient Egyptian Temple of Debod (an eight-minute walk), the beautiful Royal Palace of Madrid (a ten-minute walk) and bustling Gran Vía (also a ten-minute walk) packed with shops and some of the city’s most striking architecture.
