Positively brimming with colour and style, this modern apartment located in Madrid’s vibrant Puente de Vallecas neighbourhood is perfectly positioned for those exploring the city. With its wood floors, pastel-hued feature wall, thriving houseplants and chic furnishings, there's a relaxing feel to the home from the moment you step foot inside. Unwind with a glass of Spanish wine after a day spent sightseeing or go for a sneaky cat nap in the minimalist bedroom – with its geometric blue and yellow wall, crisp white bed linens and artistic lighting, you'll enjoy an unbroken night's sleep in this soothing space. When you're not lounging in your sumptuously sweet flat, both El Retiro Park and the Prado Museum are under thirty minutes away by metro or on foot. Closer to home, those looking for breathtaking views over Madrid should head to Tío Pío's Hill, just a twenty-minute walk from your sunny pastel pad.

Local guide


About Atocha

When thinking of Atocha, the mammoth train station immediately comes to mind. While it’s a transport hub connecting Madrid to all others parts of Spain, its appeal lies in more than just logistics. The station itself is full of restaurants (some are the best in the area), and the sprawling streets around it will slowly lead to some of the best museums in town. Staying here will place you within walking distance of Prado, The Reina Sofia Museum, and Retiro Park.
