Description Retiro Abode: Madrid

Museum lovers will be in their element at this stylish abode in Madrid's Golden Triangle of Art. The Prado Museum, Reina Sofía Art Centre and the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum are all within a fifteen-minute walk, and the famed El Retiro Park is just steps from your front door. If you're not sold by the unbeatable location, maybe the home's chic interior design and cosy ambience will entice you.

Every inch of this apartment exudes good taste, from the herringbone floors to the sleek subway-tiled kitchen. Though on the smaller side, you'll find everything need to prepare light Spanish-influenced meals – which you can enjoy at the nifty four-person dining table. After an evening on the town, get comfortable in front of the plasma TV, a throw on your lap and a glass of sangria in hand.
