A pretty pastel-hued facade offers a charming framework for this exquisitely renovated home in Malaga's old city. It sits in the central neighbourhood of Merced, surrounded by historic architecture and just moments from the famous Plaza de la Merced, best known as the birthplace of Pablo Picasso. We love its contemporary design aesthetic, stylishly furnished for couples and solo travellers and boasting not one but two sun-drenched balconies. The interior is contemporary and welcoming, cloaked in a minimalist colour palette and blessed by heaps of natural light. With its open-plan layout and lofty beam-clad vaulted ceilings, the living space offers a free-flowing ambience primed for relaxation, equipped with all the bells and whistles for a want-for-nothing stay, including a fully-equipped kitchen. However, the real gem of this home is undoubtedly its outdoor space, with the bedroom and lounge each boasting access to a private terrace. After restful slumbers, spend mornings roosted here, sipping coffee amidst Malaga's rooftops before a day of adventure. You couldn't ask for a better location, only a five-minute stroll from Malaga Cathedral and the Picasso Museum and immersed in a delightful cluster of shops, eateries and bars. Despite its lively surroundings, it feels delightfully peaceful, perched up high on the fourth floor and tucked away from the city's hustle and bustle.
