Overlooking El Retiro Park, in Madrid's upscale Salamanca district, this location is the perfect combination of city excitement and quiet green space. The area is known for its 'Golden Mile', a multitude of high-end shops, indie boutiques, outside cafes and busy bars, so you'll be right in the heart of the action. Head up the lift to this sophisticated third-floor apartment shaped by an open-plan living space bathed in natural light, thanks to the casement windows framing those leafy green views beyond. For the interiors, think plush sofas and armchairs, soft velvet rugs, glossy coffee tables and dramatic spotlighting for that added touch of luxury. Spill out across the two lounge seating areas after an explorative day touring the city or gather for a Spanish feast at the grand dining table. Through to the bedrooms, where there's a continuation of glamorous grey tones and materials that will soon have you drifting off for a peaceful night's sleep or a sneaky afternoon siesta. When ready, head out to Madrid's most famous street, Gran Vía, lined with striking architecture and excellent dining out options, whichever way you turn. Home truths: *Parking is available, on request *There's a lift up to the apartment making it wheelchair accessible *Due to the busy main road below, you might notice some street noise throughout the day *For bookings longer than 10 days, weekly cleaning is mandatory
