Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Just a stone’s throw from El Retiro Park, this light-filled home promises a serene escape in the city. As you’d expect with a loft apartment, there are sloping ceilings here which taller guests will need to watch their heads on, but we love the character it adds to the home. With a dedicated workstation, those in Madrid for work can easily catch up on emails in comfort, while the bath in the en-suite is the perfect spot to relax in at the end of a busy day.

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.
