A luxury 18th century house fit for a king. Right in the heart of Madrid.
There is a place in the very heart of Madrid, next to such notable monuments as the Teatro Real and the Palacio de Oriente, where visitors will get a taste of what it’s like to live like Royalty – the Casa de Madrid. This 18th century town house is simply full of aristocratic atmosphere and decorated in the finest, most beautiful pieces possible – murals, frescos, busts, chaise lounges, Indian motifs, etc. You name it, the Casa de Madrid has it, somewhere. Likewise, guests looked after like VIPs, a highly personalised treatment. There are no numbers here, only friends, all of which are equally important. Marta Medina, the owner of Casa de Madrid, wouldn’t have it any other way, for as this aristocrat points out “I like to share the things I like with others”. And her taste is exceptional. All this makes the Casa de Madrid a perfect place to spend a few days being pampered to. A true luxury hideaway in the heart of Madrid. |

Medieval Madrid:
We start our walk in Barrio de la Morería, where the Moors had their law-court, and arrive from here to three squares which characterize the medieval Madrid: Plaza de la Paja, the commercial center of this epoch, Plaza de San Andrés and Plaza de Cruz Verde.
Of particular interest are the Mudejar-style buildings, as the church of San Nicolás de los Servitas, the tower San Pedro el Viejo and finally Casa de los Lujanes at Plaza de la Villa.
The Madrid of the Habsburg-Epoch:
\"El Madrid de los Austrias\" is how Spaniards call the part of the city that was blooming when Spain belonged to the Habsburg-Empire. Under King Charles I, at the same time Charles V of the German Empire and the first of his family to reign Spain, the importance of Madrid grew, but it was Philip II who made it the capital. To visit the buildings of this epoch, mainly in Renaissance- and Baroque-styles, is perhaps among the most impressive Madrid has to offer.
