Found in Málaga’s Centro Histórico and close to buzzing Plaza Uncibay, this stylish apartment is the epitome of Mediterranean charm. Boasting bright living areas and a secluded terrace – the perfect setting for a late-night glass of sherry – this is the kind of home you’ll happy to linger in, complete with a generous selection of modern amenities that’ll make your stay one to remember. Throw open the French doors in the living room and let the city's vibrant atmosphere drift in on the breeze. If you’re anything like us, you’ll love the simple but stylish interior here – think white walls and uncluttered spaces – and we wouldn’t blame you if you wanted to spend all day lounging on the long, cushioned sofa, a book in one hand and a glass of wine in the other. Upstairs, a sliding door in the master bedroom takes you out onto the private terrace, where we’d highly recommend enjoying a leisurely cup of coffee before heading out for a day of sightseeing. You’re within easy reach of all the major attractions here, so why not make the most of it? Unleash your inner art enthusiast at the Picasso Museum, go for a gentle... stroll through Málaga Park, or make a beeline for Malagueta beach and spend all day soaking up the gorgeous Andalusian sunshine. Bliss.
