Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This home is just two minutes away from the Puerta del Sol, one of Madrid's most famous meeting places. And, not only does it have a fantastic location in the heart of the capital, it's also a charming and tranquil place to kick back and relax between your adventures. Step inside, and you'll find a serene space that invites you to kick off your shoes and get comfortable. The interiors take plenty of inspiration from nature to create a true sanctuary in the city – spot the leaf-print cushion, natural wood detailing, and tiny giraffe sculpture. When you get hungry, you can whip up your favourite dishes in the kitchen to enjoy at the chic dining space. And, if you fancy a nightcap, pour a glass of Rioja to enjoy on the little balcony as you watch the world go by below. Once you've got your bearings with a wander through the bustling Puerta del Sol, it's time to explore more of the city. Culture vultures will be happy that the Royal Palace is just a five-minute walk away, where you can immerse yourself in Spanish history. You can also walk to the Museo Nacional del Prado in just fourteen... minutes, and if you're craving some green space then head to Parque de El Retiro for a picnic beside the lake.

Local guide
About Puerta del Sol
Puerta del Sol is the epicentre of the city and home to Madrid’s most famous meeting point – ‘Oso y El Madroño’, the bear with the strawberry tree. The central square of this neighbourhood is quite literally where all the roads in the Iberian peninsula lead to, which means it’s really hard to get lost if this is where you want to go. This area is popular both day and night, with buskers, natives, and tourists snapping photos of some of Madrid’s most iconic sights.
