Perfect for a group of friends or family, this city oasis in Samalanca’s upscale Goya neighbourhood is a real find. Spend sunny days with your cohort reclining in the caned chairs, sipping pitchers of sangria, or gathering around the wooden table with a tapas dinner – either way, this luscious and tropical garden feels like a little slice of paradise amongst Madrid’s bustle. Inside, the sumptuously sleek designs and modern furnishings create an idyllic space to unwind – we particularly love the light-filled living room with its draped geometric wall piece and plump sofas where we imagine you’ll spend evenings spinning vinyl and enjoying conversations. The kitchen is primed for home-cooked meals with its modern layout and family-style dining area. The attention to detail here is impressive. With a pair of pared-back bedrooms swathed in soft throws and soothing earthy palettes, you’ll have no trouble getting a restful night’s sleep with wake-ups made all the more effortless thanks to the bathrooms’ resort-like rainfall showers.

Salamanca’s high-end boutiques offer the perfect excuse for some sartorial browsing, though if you're hoping to see Goya's famous works, enjoy a walk through El Retiro Park to reach the Prado Museum – that way you can tick both off your list in one swing. Soak in Spanish life at a family-owned tapas restaurant for tortilla de patatas, then stop off at a neighbourhood bar for a vermouth on the rocks during aperitif hour – like a true Madrileño.
