Rooftop Sol

Situated in Malaga's old town, this home's street takes its name from the freshwater wells that provided water to the many convents in the area. Anyway, the location is highlight number one. The second is this apartment's roof terrace (reached via a spiral staircase) with views over the city's rooftops and churches – the perfect spot for cocktails. Inside, we love the open-plan living space with its double-height ceiling, and the Juliet balconies make the area light and bright. You're bound to hear some city noise here, but with such a great address as this, we think it's a small price to pay.

Home truths:
*There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the entrance of the home. There are also stairs to the roof terrace. *There's high-speed wi-fi here and a desk if you need to catch up on work while away. *Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay. *The nearest beach is La Malagueta, 2 kilometres away, while the closest supermarket is 250 metres from this home. *Malaga Costa del Sol airport is 12 kilometres away. *Please note that the entrance to this home is on a narrow lane with street art. *The communal areas of this building might appear a little worn and dated in parts.
