If you love shopping, you’ll be happy to know that this apartment is just a few metres from Gran Vía. Other attractions a short stroll away include the Plaza de España and the Royal Palace of Madrid. This home is perfect for couples, single travellers and business professionals seeking an exceptional location. After all that retail therapy or exploring, there’s a terrace here to relax on, or on not-so-warm days chill out in the sunroom. We love the light and bright open-plan living room overlooking the outdoor space too.

Local guide
About Opera y Palacio Real
The small neighbourhood of Opera y Palacio Real sits next to the Royal Palace and its grand squares with manicured gardens. It’s also home to El Teatro Royal, the grand opera house. This part of town has an abundance of space and is far less busy than other parts of central Madrid – the calmness of the area makes it popular with families. You’ll find high-end local shops to peruse, as well as excellent restaurants, in this refined and sedate neighbourhood.
