Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
We stumbled upon Gatito while looking at homes with high and mighty terraces. Madrid isn't a beach city, but this home will have you thinking that the sea is just on the other side of the building, which is a key part of its charm. The insides are chic, designed for comfort and a good night's sleep, but it's the dining room that gets the best light and will turn meals into an experience for the senses. There isn't much art around – this is a full-time rental home after all, but if you're after something nice to look at, then we can recommend the scenic view.

- No time for average – We reject thousands of homes worldwide, so you don't have to.
- Hosts we know – With track records of high-quality hosting.

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.
