Nature and fashion come together in perfect harmony in this beautiful apartment. Located in Madrid’s upscale Salamanca neighbourhood – known for its grand 19th-century boulevards, designer boutiques and fine dining restaurants – this home is a perfect reflection of its prestigious locale and offers a wonderfully stylish base from which to explore the city. Wood floors and a sloping ceiling make a welcome first impression in the open-plan living space, with a green velvet sofa and pretty shuttered windows adding a country-chic vibe to the proceedings. The kitchen, meanwhile, is all swish and snazzy with its marble kitchen island and blue velvet chairs, and there’s a desk space here too should you need to catch up on work. Our favourite feature, however, is the private suntrap terrace – the ideal spot to begin your days with an alfresco breakfast and end evenings with a glass of wine at sunset. With two comfortable, elegant bedrooms to boot – each promising a relaxing night’s sleep – you’ve got everything you need to experience the city in luxurious style. When you’re not hanging out in your plush pad, pack a picnic to enjoy in El Retiro Park (a five-minute walk) or hit the shops along Gran Vía (an eighteen-minute walk). You’re also an eighteen-minute walk from the National Museum of Romanticism, while the famous Museo Nacional del Prado is a twenty-minute stroll from your door.

Local guide
About Salamanca
Salamanca is Madrid’s most glamorous and prestigious quarter. Usually associated with aristocratic façades, wide avenues, and luxurious living (atypical for Madrid’s cosy centre), the neighbourhood attracts domestic and international elite. It’s also home to many embassies and private schools, as well as niche museums and designer boutiques along its ‘Golden Mile’. The demanding clientele has made the food scene equally exclusive, but while you’re likely to find quite a few Michelin-star restaurants in the area, there are lots of relaxed tapas bars for those less willing to splash the cash.
