The Palace

Built for the Marquis of Villa Magna in the 1864s is a historical monument with impressive architectural features. It is located on a quiet cobbled street in one of the most Popular neighborhoods in Madrid. Until 2014, the building was owned by the Vatican.

As accommodation in Madrid, offers an exceptional mix between history and modernity. The residence is not only available for university and postgraduate students but also for those who for work reasons have to spend a period in the capital.

We have respected the original architecture of the building, such as the old staircase, a long line corridor with stained glass windows to the common areas, high ceilings decorated in detail, beautiful paneling and tiled floors. On the contrary, the furniture is modern in style and the rooms have all the comforts that you could enjoy at home, including a private bathroom in all, and a balcony and mini-fridge in the superior ones. At the heart of the residence, you will find a large outdoor patio, perfect for enjoying your downtime. In addition you can also relax on one of our terraces, accommodated with multiple sun loungers.
