Holiday rentals in Madrid, Spain

For the best party experience on your visit to Spain’s capital, you can book holiday rentals in Madrid that will give you easy access to the choicest nightspots, pubs and bars. There’s also a lot of live music entertainment on offer in the city. You can start the party at one of the trendy bars, like Enbabia Bar, Microteatro or 1862 Dry Bar. For something more upmarket, there’s WELKHOMEclub and Del Diego Cocktail Bar. One of the most common forms of entertainment you’ll come across in Madrid is a live flamenco dance performance, and there are plenty of venues where you can watch these. Top spots to try are Essential Flamenco, Corral De La Moreria and Cardamomo Tablao Flamenco. For full-on clubbing, you can also have a great choice – try Planet Club or Commo. To watch live music, check out Café Berlin or Café Central. For convenient access to these nightspots, you can book Madrid holiday rentals like Apartamentos Cruz and Urban Vida Ribera.

There’s a lot to do on a family holiday in Madrid, especially if you have children with you. You can take a leisurely wander around Parque del Retiro with its fountains and grand palaces. For something completely different, take the kids to Wanda Metropolitano, an arena-sized children’s playground with a multitude of fun activities. Casa de Campo houses Madrid Zoo and an amusement park, making it a great combinatory choice. Otherwise visit Jardines de Sabatini, which is on the north side of the Royal Palace – the kids will love playing in the mini-mazes in the estate’s gardens. For a quiet family picnic next to a flowing stream, head to Parque del Oeste. There are a number of holiday rentals in Madrid where you can stay as a family and easily be able to reach these attractions, such as Welcomer Apartments Madrid or Alterhome Apartamentos Collection La Latina.

A holiday rental will always give you a more personal and individualised experience than you can get at a larger commercial hotel, for instance. In some cases you’ll have an entire small house to yourself, so you and the kids will have exclusive use of all the facilities and amenities. Another big plus is that if you’re staying at a family-run establishment, catering will probably come directly from the family kitchen, so there will be no need to go out in search of restaurants serving authentic traditional local cuisine. If you prefer, you can choose accommodations where you’ll be able to cater for yourself. This will not only be kind to your budget, but will also allow you to set your own meal times, rather than be on the clock to make a hotel’s dining schedule, which can sometimes be a challenge when you’re on holiday with the whole family. The Barrio de Salamanca district is one of the main shopping areas to get your provisions.
