Lifestyle Services for Living Well in Madrid
Once the essentials are handled, a second layer of decisions that genuinely improves your life in Madrid.
Once the essentials are handled, there's a second layer of decisions that genuinely improve life in Madrid: furnishing your home with care, finding domestic help you trust, keeping your kids learning Spanish or playing sport. These are things you'd do naturally back home, with the knowledge of the local market. Here, they require researching options you don't know and navigating a new market.
Aedara supports this too, with the same attention to detail. Not as a luxury service, but as someone who knows Madrid and can save you hours of research on each decision.
If you've just arrived, this service complements the settling-in service. If you've been here a while and want to take the next step, you can take it independently.

Frequently asked questions
- What kind of furniture or shops does Aedara recommend?
- It depends on your budget and style. We know options from accessible to design-focused, and can accompany you on the visit if you want. We have no commercial agreements with any shop: our recommendation is always what we genuinely think fits you best.
- How does the au pair or nanny search work?
- We define the profile you're looking for together: language, availability, experience, whether they live in or not. Aedara does the initial shortlisting and presents filtered candidates. The interview process and final decision are yours.
- What age range do you find extracurricular activities for?
- All ages, from babies to teenagers. We search for activities based on the child's interests and the location that best fits your neighbourhood and school schedule.
- Do you help with buying a car or only with leasing?
- Both. For second-hand purchases we guide you through the process, review the paperwork, and manage the ownership transfer. For leasing we compare options based on your usage and budget.
- Can I hire a single lifestyle service on its own?
- Yes. You don't need to take a package or have an active relocation service. You can ask us for help with just one thing — finding a nanny, signing a child up for football, searching for a Spanish school — with no additional commitment.
If you want your life in Madrid to be more than just paperwork resolved, tell us what you'd like to improve. No obligation, we'll see how it fits your day to day.
