The Colour of Zen

The Colour of Zen: Community of Madrid

Located in Madrid’s vibrant, central Lavapiés neighbourhood, this zen-inspiring apartment is ready to ease you into laid-back city living.

East Asian ornaments combine with colourful throw pillows, glossy blue kitchen tiles, tall ceilings and wood floors in the open-plan living area, inviting you to kick back and soak up the chilled-out vibes on offer. Step through the door adjacent to the kitchen and into the sunny, private courtyard terrace to ramp up the relaxation even more. Equipped with a table and chairs, you can soak up some rays over an alfresco breakfast before heading out to see the sights or spend evenings enjoying homemade tapas here with a bottle of Spanish red.

The main bedroom is a calm retreat designed with rest in mind, while the mezzanine bedroom is a pared-back space that offers an equally dreamy night’s sleep. And with a rainfall shower that promises a luxurious start to any day, you’re all set for a carefree time.

When it comes to exploring, walk fifteen minutes to discover Plaza Mayor or go shopping along bustling Gran Vía, an eighteen-minute stroll away. You’re also just a thirteen-minute walk from the world-famous Museo Nacional del Prado, while leafy El Retiro Park is twenty minutes away on foot.
