Madrid doesn’t turn its back on nature—especially not in summer, when the city transforms into a collection of private sanctuaries where light, greenery, and water define a new way of living. Beyond the conventional image of urban density, the Spanish capital offers an extraordinary array of urban villas that allow for open-air living without giving up the advantages of a major European metropolis. These carefully selected villas in Madrid reflect a new residential philosophy: homes with character, surrounded by vegetation, with expansive terraces, private pools, and spaces designed for comfort, relaxation and social connection. Five examples that confirm that living in the city is fully compatible with enjoying exceptional quality of life—especially when long days and warm evenings invite you to open the house to the outdoors.
