Sleeping beneath exposed beams and a centuries-old stone wall in a restored 1860s Andalusian palace is a rare thing – and this Málaga apartment delivers exactly that. The shared Renaissance courtyard, with its marble columns and central fountain, is the kind of place you'll want to linger over an evening drink long after the day has wound down. Step outside and the Alcazaba, the Cathedral, and the Picasso Museum are all within easy reach on foot, with the city's beach less than a thirty-minute walk away.

Home truths
At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
There's limited counter space in the kitchen, so we think it's better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
The palace is home to fourteen apartments in total, so you'll be sharing the central courtyard and common areas with other guests during your stay.
This home doesn't accept groups of young people up to 18 years old.
Your host can arrange a parking space on request, but Málaga's historic centre is walkable from this home.
