This bright, stylish apartment is a superb base for six in Madrid. It’s centrally located, right next to the Parque del Retiro – the city centre’s largest park. You’ll be in the heart of the so-called tapa mile, the neighbourhood with the highest concentration of high-end cuisine in Madrid. When you’re not out seeing the sights or dining in style, you’ll be grateful to have such a marvellous home-from-home. One of the bedrooms is set up with a sofa bed and also has a desk, so is ideal for those working during their stay.

Home truths

    There’s a laptop-friendly workspace in bedroom three, which is set up with a sofa bed.

About Retiro

Old-school charm is the name of the game in Retiro, an elegant residential neighbourhood at heart.
