Los Libros: Madrid

Step into a world of old-school elegance and modern design at this stunning apartment in Madrid’s stylish Salamanca neighbourhood. Inspired by the landscapes of Calabrian vineyards, this home’s main living space is large and bright with tall corniced ceilings and earthy tones giving it a soothing, welcoming feel. We love the dual-facing sofa in the centre of the room, and the large green shelves that match the French doors leading out onto a beautiful Juliet balcony. Soak up some rays on the perfectly positioned seat here, either sipping on your morning coffee with a good book or enjoying the sunset with a glass of wine. You’ll relish gathering together in the grand burgundy-coloured dining room with its wooden dining table and feasting on homemade tapas made in the pretty tiled kitchen. With a separate office as well as a dressing room, you’re all set whether you’re getting ready to work or to go out on the town, while the two bedrooms dazzle with a delicate bohemian softness that provides the ideal canvas for a dreamy night’s sleep. Factor in the gorgeous terracotta-coloured bathroom with its bathtub – the perfect way to end the night with a glass of bubbly – and you’ve got everything you need for a relaxing stay. Outside of your home, you’re a fifteen-minute walk from El Retiro Park, a thirty-minute stroll from Gran Vía’s shops and the Sorolla Museum is twenty-five minutes on foot from your door.
