Just steps from Picasso's birthplace, the lively Plaza de la Merced, this home sits in Malaga's old city. You couldn't ask for a better location, surrounded by shops, bars and eateries, and within walking distance of all the main sights. The Malaga Cathedral and the Picasso Museum are five minutes away on foot, while Malagueta Beach is just a sixteen-minute stroll from your doorstep. Positioned on the first floor of a historic building, this home charms from the outset. Step inside and discover an exquisitely renovated interior, blessed by heaps of natural light and furnished in a contemporary design aesthetic. We especially love the open-plan living space, where high ceilings and a minimalist colour palette create a free-flowing ambience primed for relaxation. There are all the bells and whistles here for a want-for-nothing stay, including a fully equipped kitchen and a cosy lounge. Here, French doors reveal pretty street views – a lovely spot for sipping a glass of wine after a day of exploring the city.
