MADRID SALAMANCA | Exceptional Penthouses with terraces
Breakfast in the sun above the treetops, summer dinners under the Madrid sky, light pouring in from every side: a penthouse in the Salamanca district combines what Madrileños call the ático, the top floor with a terrace, with the most coveted address in the city.
Laid out in the 19th century by the Marquis of Salamanca, the district lines up its elegant residential buildings in a grid between Calle Serrano, Calle de Velázquez and Retiro Park. The most sought-after penthouses are in Recoletos, Castellana, Lista and Goya: top-floor apartments with wraparound terraces, duplexes under the roof, set-back sobreáticos with sun decks, often renovated to a high standard with concierge and parking.
These top floors account for only a small share of the district’s buildings and rarely change hands. Our BARNES Madrid agency presents the finest opportunities, including off-market ones, and supports you through to completion.
Frequently asked questions about penthouses in the Salamanca district
What is the difference between an ático and a sobreático in Madrid?

The Recoletos and Castellana areas, around Calle Serrano, Calle de Velázquez and Calle de Ortega y Gasset, are the most sought after. Lista and Goya also offer fine top-floor apartments, a short walk from the Retiro.
Are the penthouses in the Salamanca district renovated?
