Painted Dreams

Holiday Rental Description

Situated in the lively central quarter of Atocha, this handsome apartment is just fifteen minutes by public transport to Madrid’s main attractions and close to the so-called Art Triangle. Recently renovated, the home has been transformed into a designer space with stylish décor, light tones, splashes of colour and modern art on the walls. But there’s nothing pretentious about it all. The space is just wonderfully inviting and comfortable. Over a coffee and pastry in the kitchen, plan your day’s agenda or spend a lazy morning relaxing on the huge, living room sofa instead. Come afternoon, art-lovers can meander through the nearby galleries, while foodies will want to spoil themselves in the local bars and restaurants. Afterwards, the pretty El Retiro Park is the perfect spot for catching your breath before heading back home. There’s a well-designed kitchen at your disposal so you can whip up a tasty meal before sinking into your effortlessly neat bed. But if you’re in the mood for further entertainment, you’re well-placed to enjoy Madrid’s famously noisy nightlife.
