La Taverna

La Taverna: Madrid

Pristine white-washed with sea-blue accents, this Madrid pad radiates all the laid-back charm of a Grecian villa. A dining table set under the shade of a pergola adds a bit of Taverna-style magic to the terrace – a rare bonus in the heart of the Spanish capital – while a deckchair and huge outdoor sofa are made for lounging on a sunny afternoon. Inside, handwoven baskets, raw-wood shelves adorned with house plants and macrame wall-art give off some serious boho vibes. The living room has a vintage record player and a little workspace that looks like it’s been taken from the pavement cafés of Mykonos. Stepping out of the front door it’s immediately apparent that you’re in Madrid as the neo-Classical streets of Justicia surround you. Here you’ll find luxury boutiques, a thriving fresh-produce market, and trendy bistros sit next to old-school tapas bars.
