Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

Located in the heart of Madrid’s Lista neighbourhood, this home is ideally placed for exploring everything the city has to offer. Begin your day with breakfast in the cosy nook in the kitchen before unfolding your maps across the desk of the dedicated workstation to plan the sights you want to see that day. Walk the short sixteen minutes to El Retiro Park – once exclusively open to royalty – and admire the stunning fountains and statues of Spanish heroes as you take a leisurely stroll. Then, why not stop for a coffee or a bite to eat in one of the park’s open-air cafes before continuing with the rest of your plans. Utilise the great public transport links and visit the Plaza Mayor and the Royal Palace, both of which can be reached in twenty to thirty minutes. Or, stay closer to home to peruse the many art galleries in the area which can be reached in as little as four minutes by foot. In the late afternoon, why not take a reinvigorating siesta or relax on the internal balcony – which opens up via French doors from the living space – and offers not only a delightfully bright place...

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.
