This holiday home is a great base for families or groups of friends who don’t mind being a little further outside of Madrid. When you want to see the sights, you can walk to the Franco Rodriguez metro stop, so seeing the likes of El Retiro and Puerta del Sol is easy enough – though you’ll be staying far away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre. You’ll have a patio with a small private pool to cool off in, and an alfresco dining area. Four guests will be sleeping on sofa beds, which isn’t the most private setup so is probably better suited to children sharing with their parents.

Home truths:
*At full occupancy, four guests will be sleeping on sofa beds in communal areas.
*The second floor is accessed via a spiral staircase, so it may not be suitable for those with reduced mobility. There’s one ground-floor bedroom here though.
*There’s a desk here for those needing to work during their stay.
