In the Salamanca district of Madrid, Retiro Park is just a short walk from this family-sized apartment and there are lots of public transport options in the area to take you all across the Spanish capital. There’s plenty of seating for the whole group in the stylish living room, plus a record player to set the scene. Those working remotely can hide away at laptop desks in two of the bedrooms. The kitchen has everything you need to cook every meal at home if you’re not too busy exploring the fine-dining restaurants of the grand, 19th-century streets around you.

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.
