Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
A masterclass in elegant minimalism, this home in Madrid’s glamorous Salamanca neighbourhood is a chic and comfortable base from which to explore the city. Wood floors, large windows and a pared-back Japandi decor set the scene for a calm and relaxing stay with the open-plan main living space inviting sociable feasts around its dining table and laid-back evenings on the sofa with a bottle of Spanish wine. The bedrooms, too, are welcoming with their bespoke wooden wall detailing and their desk spaces should you need to catch up on work. Outside of your home, you’re just a ten-minute walk from beautiful El Retiro Park, a twenty-three-minute stroll from Gran Vía’s shops, while the Museo Nacional del Prado is twenty-five minutes on foot 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.
