This stylish apartment in Madrid’s eclectic Puente de Valleca neighbourhood is an ideal base for those looking to soak up the city’s authentic side. Close to a plethora of eateries, supermarkets, and lively bars, you’ll have plenty nearby to keep you entertained, all while enjoying a comfortable, stylish stay. Inside, Scandinavian cool meets laid-back Spanish design with wood floors, striking feature lighting and contemporary furnishings creating an instantly inviting welcome. Kick back on the sofa with a glass of red wine after a busy day of touring the city, then gather around the table for a celebratory meal when you’re not out sampling the local food scene. The bedrooms – each pared-back yet singularly chic – beckon a comfy night’s sleep, while the beautifully tiled bathrooms are ready to greet you upon waking up with their relaxing rainfall showers. When it comes to things to see and do, cheer on Rayo Vallecano at the Estadio de Vallecas, or hop on the Metro to explore some of the city’s most iconic sights – the Royal Palace and Plaza de la Armeria are reachable by Metro in just under half an hour, Puerta del Sol is a twenty-minute Metro ride away and the popular Centro Comercial Plaza Rio 2 is thirty-three minutes away by Metro too.

Old-school charm is the name of the game in Retiro, an elegant residential neighbourhood at heart. Its nerve centre, a sizeable park that was created as a retreat for the Royal Family, is famous for its beauty and most visited during sunny days. Its glamorous past is still visible, but nowadays El Retiro is most popular with joggers and those who want to escape the noise of the city centre...
