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

Ideally located in Málaga’s historic centre, this comfortable apartment puts you in a prime position to explore the best of the city’s coast and culture. Inside, wood floors and an industrial-style brick effect wall create an instantly stylish impression in the open-plan living area. Make yourself comfortable on the Chesterfield-reminiscent sofa with a glass of Spanish wine after a day of sightseeing, or perch by the bedroom’s Juliet balcony with your drink of choice as you people-watch from your privileged position. Speaking of the bedroom, you’ll immediately notice the replica of Picasso’s famous Guernica – a striking nod to the artist who was born in Málaga and whose nearby home is now a museum. What’s more, you’ve got access to the shared rooftop terrace’s pool with its panoramic views over the city’s rooftops and towards the beautiful Cathedral of Málaga. While you could easily spend all day chilling out in your chic apartment and soaking up some rays by the communal pool, venture outside for a wealth of historic sightseeing with countless cultural hotspots within easy walking distance. You’re also 2 kilometres from sandy Playa de la Malagueta, while your host is happy to organise various golf and day trip excursions for those looking to explore a little further.
