Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

This beautiful townhouse in the centre of Malaga has seen the city change over the centuries. From the doorstep, you can step into the warren of atmospheric old streets that make up the historic city centre, yet the beach is just a five-minute stroll away. Four floors of antique furniture and southern Spanish charm greet you on arrival and the Moorish-style kitchen certainly caught out eye. The crowning glory has to be the private terrace, looking out over the rooftops of the city, dappled with greenery and home to a bar area, day bed, dining spot and lounge seating.
