Bright and vibrantly designed, this eclectic apartment is located in the stylish Salamanca neighbourhood, moments away from the refined boutiques and restaurants that line the ‘Golden Mile.' This elegant home provides an idyllic base for a family or couple of close friends seeking a relaxing retreat right in the heart of the city. With modern finishes like the glass elements, mirrored accents and thoughtful choices of contemporary soft lighting, this duplex apartment is at once effortlessly cool and cosy. The exposed brass pipes and statement patterned wallpapers contrast the soft linens and clean white walls which make for an intriguing mix of interiors that are unique and full of character, just like the surrounding neighbourhood. Enjoy your morning coffee on the kitchen balcony admiring the sprawling streets below or recline onto the plush sofa with a new book, opening up the beautiful glass doors to invite the breeze in. There’s a tranquil ambience here, which invites you to wind down on the terrace with a glass of Tempranillo that you picked up from the local wine shop, just a five-minute walk from your apartment. When you’re ready for a spot of sightseeing, you’re an eleven-minute walk from El Retiro Park, where you... can explore the gardens. Soak in Spanish life and enjoy tortilla de patatas like a true Madrileño at the restaurants on your doorstep.

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.
