Located in the heart of Madrid’s exclusive Golden Mile neighbourhood – where upscale boutiques line the city’s most fashionable streets – this sophisticated apartment is a true reflection of its luxurious locale. We love how the design has contrasted soft pastel shades with high-gloss metallics to create a dazzling display of colours and textures in the open-plan living space. Open up the French doors here to perch by the Juliet balconies – a coffee or a glass of wine in hand – and gaze upon the hustle and bustle of your privileged postcode below. The long, elegant dining table beckons Spanish soirée over homemade tapas and cocktails (prepared in the marble-accented kitchen) while the two bedrooms are stylishly pared-back to give you a comfortable and peaceful night’s sleep. When you’re not relaxing in your plush pad, hit the high-end boutiques and cafés on your doorstep or make a beeline for El Retiro Park, a fifteen-minute walk away. ...More Details
Located just north of Madrid’s vibrant Malasaña neighbourhood, this modern apartment puts you in a prime position to explore the city’s historic sights, all while enjoying the many coffee shops, bakeries and vintage clothing stores around you. Inside, parquet floors, contemporary furnishings and vibrant pops of tangerine orange in the plump sofa’s throw cushions set a welcoming scene in the living area. We love the glossy finish of the glass table’s metal legs – the ideal spot to enjoy an intimate meal when you’re not out sampling the local tapas scene – as well as the large mirror here that helps maximise this petite but perfectly pretty space. The bedroom, meanwhile, is a fashionably pared-back and has been curated with a restful sleep in mind. When it comes to sightseeing, walk seventeen minutes to go shopping along Gran Vía with its beautifully striking architecture, or head to bustling Plaza de España, just over a twenty-minute st...More Details

This elegant home has a fantastic location in hip Chueca with its boutiques, bookshops and vibrant gay scene. There's plenty to keep culture vultures happy here too. Fascinating museums to visit include the Museo del Romanticismo, a seven-minute stroll away and the Museo de Cera (eleven minutes on foot). It's the same walking distance to Sociedad General de Autores y Editores, an excellent example of Modernisme architecture. Or head to Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza with its masterpieces by Caravaggio, Van Gogh and Lichtenstein, a fifteen-minute walk. After a busy day, have a pit stop at one of the cafes on Plaza de Chueca, named after Spanish composer and author Federico Chueca, a two-minute wander from this apartment.Inside, we love the characterful wooden beams that separate the living space from the dining area. Plants, vases of flowers and modern artworks create a homely vibe, while two sets of French doors opening to Juliet balconies al...More Details
Sol of Mine
The most remarkable thing about Espinas is the quiet. Despite having three balconies, and being in the middle of Lavapiés, the street it looks onto is actually fairly calm. The building is old, and a lot of the original structure features prominently in the flat, which has been designed to complement the space, rather than dominate it. There is some pretty loud wallpaper though, which stops the design from falling into the dreaded ‘neutral’ category. *Even though there's a lift, it stops in between floors so you'll still have to take thirty-two steps to reach the flat*There's only four spots on soft furnishings in the living room*The kitchen could do with a bit more crockery and glassware*Two people can sleep on a double sofa bed*Some of the beds don't have reading lights beside them Air ConditioningBalconyBlack-Out BlindsBuzzer / Wireless IntercomCarbon Monoxide DetectorCentral HeatingCoffee MakerCooking EssentialsDishwasherDryerExtr...More Details
