Make the most out of your time in Madrid with a stay at this gorgeous and welcoming apartment, situated in the elegant Goya area of the Salamanca district. You’ll find yourself surrounded by high-end shops and restaurants as well as numerous museums and galleries. Inside your home will greet you with a light-filled open-plan living space, with a plush sofa inviting you to kick back and relax with an evening of movies and Spanish wine. We love the bohemian, desert-inspired theme running through, with plenty of unique objects dotted about. If you don’t feel like eating out, the well-equipped kitchen will make rustling up quick and delicious meals a work of moments. Share them with your loved ones at the elegant dining table or out on the balcony. This is also a great spot to welcome a new day with a cup of coffee, while you plan your day’s excursions. Should you need to catch up on some work, you’ll be delighted to know that there’s also a cosy office space here, perfect for attending to any laptop duties or for late evening journaling. Come nighttime, head over to the cosy bedrooms which carry the promise of restful sleep. Wake up reinvigorated and ready for another day of city adventures.

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.
