Just moments away from Madrid’s bustling Gran Vía, this modern apartment provides a calm retreat for those looking to be within easy reach of the city’s main sights. Inside, beach-vibe decor creates an instantly warm welcome with ample natural light pouring in through the glass doors in the living area. Open these up to catch some early morning rays from the Juliet balcony – a cup of coffee in hand – or sink into the plump sofa with a good book and a glass of wine after a busy day of sightseeing. The cosy dining space invites homemade tapas feasts aplenty or memorable meals prepared by a private chef (your host is happy to organise this). With a comfortable bed and an elegant marble-clad bathroom to boot, you’ve got everything you need for a relaxing time. Outside of your home, Gran Vía’s shops beckon a one-minute walk away, Plaza Mayor is a ten-minute stroll, the Royal Palace of Madrid is walkable in fifteen and the Museo Nacional del Prado is twenty minutes away on foot. Factor in the tickets to events and museums, as well day trips and wine tastings your host can arrange – as well as personal shoppers and chauffeurs – and there's no end to the entertainment and fun in store.
