Design meets comfort at this light-filled apartment in central Madrid. Located in the hip and happening Malasaña area, this unique space captures the creative spirit of its neighbourhood. With bohemian textiles and eclectic art, the overall ambience is grounded by simple furniture and contemporary units. Nearby, you'll find a plethora of spots to sample paella and enjoy tipples on the characterful, mural-clad streets. Walk down the city's signature wide boulevards and reach the historic centre, where Plaza Mayor and a selection of infamous museums await. If you only have time for one, make it the Prado – the collection of European art is one of the world's best, with works by Goya and Titian housed inside. El Retiro Park is just a stone's throw away, a manicured 19th-century expanse with a blooming rose garden and boating lake. This idyllic spot is not to be missed if you're in town on a romantic getaway.
