The Emerald City

Holiday Rental Description

Magnificent Malaga is in many ways the perfect city break – it’s a walkable city with plenty to see and do, and there are beaches galore for when you want to cool off in the sea and get some R&R. Best of all, it’s home to beautiful apartments like this oh-so-special penthouse.

This apartment can be found in the heart of the city, looking directly onto the Sagrado Corazon church. It’s stylish and quirky, with chic decor and some of the best views in town. Whether you’re cooking in the kitchen or taking a quick siesta, you’re surrounded by the view of church towers and picturesque rooftops. The crowning glory of this already wonderful penthouse is the terrace. A carefully landscaped space, this is where we’d be spending most of our time. The barbecue and dining table make it a haven for alfresco dining, with comfy sofas just calling out for cocktail hour. During the day, you can soak up the sunshine on the sun loungers, moving to the shade of an umbrella to sip lemonade when the Spanish sun gets too hot.

As the sun begins to set, you’ll have the best seats in town. Watch the sky shift into pastel pinks and purples as the sun dips behind the church spires. You’ll never want to leave.
