Combining soft neutral tones, wicker furnishings and curated houseplants, this stylish apartment harks to old-world Sahara to create a warm and relaxing space to unwind. In the heart of the Ríos Rosas neighbourhood, you're a short stroll from lively Ponzano Street – renowned for its cocktail bars and excellent restaurants – while the iconic Plaza Mayor and striking Royal Palace are also reachable on foot. After a day of sightseeing, head back to the calming oasis of your home and step out on your private terrace to enjoy a refreshing glass of sangria. Alternatively, those keeping one eye on business can work at the dedicated desk space, while active types are able to keep up their daily fitness routines at the on-site gym and outdoor swimming pool – there's even a small playground for little ones.
