Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

This Madrid home combines a well-thought-out design with a location in the lively Ciudad Jardín area – a winning combination if you ask us. Outside, the communal pool is the ideal spot to escape the bustle of the city – and the Spanish heat. Indoors, the floor-to-ceiling windows let in plenty of sunshine, while the stylish living area means you might choose to take your time leaving the apartment in the mornings. It's just as well then that the fully equipped kitchen and dining table make having cooked breakfasts at home a breeze. When you do go out, be sure to check out the nearby Berlin Park – just a few minutes away.

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.
