Sitting within Madrid’s glamorous Salamanca neighbourhood, this elegantly presented apartment is a true reflection of its privileged postcode. From its hardwood floors to its stylish contemporary decor and carefully curated art, there’s an air of effortless luxury here that will make you feel right at home. We love how much natural light pours in through the large windows in the living area, and the way the column divides the open-plan space to create cosy pockets for luxurious relaxation. The reading nook with its homey log feature wall beckons quiet moments with a book from the shelves and a glass of Spanish wine, while the sleek purple-tinted kitchen is where you’ll want to whip up homemade feasts to be enjoyed around the round dining table. Alternatively, ask your host to organise a private chef for a truly memorable soirée. The main bedroom is a vision of sophistication with its beautifully dressed super-king bed and pair of Juliet balconies – ideal for perching with your morning coffee – while the other two bedrooms are equally as chic, promising a restful night’s sleep in their luxury sheets. While you could easily while the day away enjoying the ambience of your plush pad, go out and explore the many sights around you. Your Salamanca neighbourhood is known for its fine-dining restaurants and designer boutiques, especially along the Golden Mile (an eight-minute walk away), while leafy El Retiro Park (a seven-minute walk) invites long afternoon strolls along its leafy boulevards. Elsewhere, the National Archaeological Museum is an eight-minute walk away, while bustling Gran Vía is twenty minutes away on foot.

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.
