Beachside Apartment

PetraRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
The place was very nice, accessible to the beach, but you couldn't bathe. But when you go down the promenade far, the reptile is great. I was quite bothered by the traffic from the highway, which is a few meters from the house. Otherwise, it's all good.

Casa randonneur, spacious village house in Álora.

MarisaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Fantastic townhome with lost of space to spread out. Very comfortable beds, clean bathrooms and linens. It was great to be steps away from the grocery store and all the great restaurants in Álora. Veronica was very responsive and provided a lot of great information for the town and surrounding areas and was nice enough to provide some refreshments for us when we arrived. Parking is difficult on the narrow street in front of the house, but the public parking for the town is about an 8 minute walk. The kitchen was well equipped, except for a dishwasher so some of the dishes weren't very clean, but that was easily fixed by washing them again. Overall, our stay was great!

Historic Center House of Marbella, Old Town House.

GillianRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
My friend and I stayed at Sebastian's place for 2 weeks and we loved it. The location right in the Old Town is perfect. It's in the middle of everything yet quiet and peaceful through the night. It's so close to the beach we could walk back to the apartment for lunch and then return. It's exactly as represented in the photos and had everything we needed for our extended stay. Sebastian is really quick to respond to any and all messages and he met us in person to introduce us to the apartment. The roof terrace is great. It is shared with the upstairs neighbour but they don't seem to use it as they have another terrace above. The only thing you need to be aware of are the steep stairs to access the terrace which may be an issue for some. We loved Sebastian's place and would return in a heartbeat!

Idyllic Townhouse with Scenic Views Mijas Pueblo

IanRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The apartment was absolutely superb. Exactly as described and furnished. Had the accuracy of the location of the apartment been detailed more accurately we would not have booked. The proximity of the BBQ below, the loud live music from the bar, and the closeness to the main road into Mijas would have changed our decision making.

OrlaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Natali is a wonderful host and her town house on the Golden Mile is fabulous. Natali was very responsive and offered lots of great ideas on transport, restaurants, etc. The town house is just beautiful located only a short walk from the beach & restaurants and perfectly situated between Puerto Banus & Marbella. It was spotless and extremely comfortable. The rooftop is amazing with the bonus of the jacuzzi. Natali was very kind leaving special gifts of drinks and chocolates. She thought of everything to make our stay great. Thank you Natali - we will be back again.

Apartment near Torrequebrada beach

MaksymRating, 5 starstoday
Benalmadena one of the best places I visited in my life and I already visited 30+ countries. Especially great Benalmadena felt thanks to Florencia with her extreme kindness and awesome apartment, located near the beach, big Mercadona (supermarket), bus stop with direct buses to Torremolinos/Malaga, and even very fancy playground for kids. The apartment itself has everything required for stay of any duration and has enough space for family of 4. Highly recommended and maybe I will return here again by myself :)

The pool area was fantatsic with the addition of an outside shower and wc . The whole villa was beautifully looked after and extremely comfortable.

Your guide to Málaga

All About Málaga

Located in Andalusia on the Costa del Sol, Málaga is Spain’s busiest port city, boasting iconic museums, gorgeous Mediterranean beaches, and a popular film festival that has transformed the city into a cultural hotspot. As one of the oldest cities in Spain, Málaga’s cobblestone streets in its historic center are wonderful to explore. Discover tapas bars and restaurants, eclectic shops and cafés, and even a Moorish-style traditional hammam spa. There’s a modern, edgy side to Málaga in the Soho arts district, home to funky bars and innovative street murals. Visitors flock here to enjoy Málaga’s dark sand beaches and cool blue waters; rent a beach chair and dine at a seaside café for the optimal Costa del Sol experience.

You’ll find the Museo Picasso Málaga here as the city is the birthplace of the legendary Spanish artist. The space houses more than 200 of his artworks. You’ll also find museums of contemporary artists, automobiles, and ethnography here, as well as a museum of glass and crystal.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Málaga

Thanks to its Mediterranean climate, there’s no bad time to rent an apartment in Málaga. Because the coastline of Andalusia is protected by mountains, the area has its own microclimate. If you love the beach and the sun, the summer months of June through August are the most desirable, as the temperatures are balmy and enjoyable. There are also some popular events here too, including the week-long Málaga Fair in August, with live music, fireworks, and a funfair. Fall brings cooler yet moderate temperatures. In September, the Luna Mora Festival, celebrates Andalusian culture and food. Winter temperatures in Málaga are cool and brisk, so don’t forget to pack warm layers. In February, the entire city comes out to celebrate Carnival. Spring offers warmer temperatures, and April sees La Semana Santa (Holy Week), celebrated with a number of elaborate religious processions throughout the city.


Top things to do in Málaga

Málaga Cathedral

This Roman Catholic cathedral was constructed between 1528 and 1782 but never completed. The second tower on this imposing Renaissance and baroque-style cathedral was never built, leading to it often being referenced as the “one-armed lady.” You can go inside and explore the lavishly decorated building’s 131-foot ceiling and two organs with more than 4,000 pipes.

Centre Pompidou Málaga

Málaga is packed with cultural venues. An offshoot of the famous Pompidou Center in Paris, Centre Pompidou Málaga opened in 2015. Located in the port and housed under an enormous colorful glass cube, the museum features works and rotating exhibitions drawn from the Pompidou’s modern and contemporary art collections.

Castillo de Gibralfaro

This giant 14th-century castle sprawls across the hillside over Málaga, offering panoramic views over the city. You can take a bus or hike up the winding path to the castle, where you can walk around the ramparts. Inside, explore several courtyards and buildings, including a mini military room.
