You’ll find this sophisticated apartment in the heart of Madrid’s elegant Salamanca district. Days here begin with a shopping spree in the luxury boutiques that line the Golden Mile before stopping for brunch in a trendy cafe. If sightseeing is on the agenda, hop on the metro and whizz into the centre of the city for the Royal Palace, Prado Museum and bustling Plaza de España.

Back at home, the sunroom is the perfect spot for morning cups of coffee, while the open-plan living space dressed in neutral tones invites you to curl up on the sofa and unwind with a glass of Rioja at the end of the day. After a bite to eat rustled up at the kitchenette, take advantage of your building’s luxurious amenities – enjoy a swim in the pool followed by some serious relaxation in the sauna or beat your personal best in the gym.
