Penthouse with terrace and sea view Area Mayor

We had a wonderful vacation here. Luisa is a very gracious host and was very helpful for places to go to eat and things to do. The apartment has everything you would need for a comfortable vacation and I can’t talk enough about the view. Best view ever!!! We absolutely loved our time here and wouldn’t stay anywhere else if and when we return. I would give 100 stars if I could.

We really enjoyed staying at this apartment. Comfortable and well appointed with a great balcony and views. Owners couldn't be more helpful.

Couple of things to be aware of (not negative things);

The lift only goes to the 4th floor so you need to be able to walk the last flight of stairs.

The cupboards in the kitchen are very high and you will need to use the small steps to reach some everyday utensils.

Malpica itself is quaint but not very touristy so if you're looking for lots going on then this may not be for you. For the English be aware that restaurants (there aren't many) don't open until 9.00pm however the sea food is fantastic.

My family and I visited Galicia for the first time and decided to choose a location that was secluded, on the coast, and a good location to explore the rest of Galicia for day trips. Maplica provided all of this and more. Luisa and Carlos have an incredible apartment overlooking the small town of Malpica and the beautiful sandy bay. The apartment is huge and is fully stocked with everything you might need, towels, blankets, cookware (although if you like coffee, bring a french press or stove top espresso maker, they provide a single pod espresso maker), dishware, and guide books about Malpica and Galicia. The apartment also has Wifi and a large smart TV with cable.

The town of Malpica is small, friendly, and includes ample bars, cafes and eateries. All of them are reasonably priced, comfortable, and provide excellent service and food. Be sure to try Percebes!. Luisa will be sure to recommend a list of places to go and see and restaurants to frequent.

The apartment and building are clean, updated, and safe. The building has an elevator for lugging bags to the apartment. Parking is also relatively easy to find for free along the street outside.

The surf, beach and trails around Malpica made our stay varied and more exciting than we expected it could be. Malpica is incredible and Luisa and Carlos are warm, friendly and treat you like family when you arrive. Could not have asked for a better stay!

If you have the chance to stay here, don't hesitate!

The two of us have just enjoyed a wonderful week in this apartment during the last part of September 2015.

I can only echo the comments of Luisa’s previous guests; that both the apartment and the location more than fulfilled our expectations. It was just all so beautiful. Malpica itself had everything we could wish for in the way of beautiful and interesting walks and strolls, with lots of opportunity to take photos and enjoy the bustle around the harbour and restaurants, or to find a quiet spot (quiet at the end of September at least!) around the beach walks. The food choice, within easy walking distance of the apartment, was more than enough for us, and the quality was excellent.

The welcome extended to us by our landlady/hostess Luisa was amazing, even going by the standards of the friendly and welcoming people who live in this part of Spain. The welcome plate of fruit and the vase of flowers were so enormous that my brain initially failed to clock them, thinking they were part of the beautiful décor. I can only excuse myself because my eyes had just focused on the view from the terrace! Throughout the course of our stay Luisa was unfailingly hospitable and helpful, bringing us generous platefuls of her beautiful food to try, and providing us with detailed information on the local restaurants, and sourcing, among other things, some freshly-gathered local honey.

This is our third visit to Galicia, an area which we love for its friendly people, its stunning land- and seascape, and its beautiful quality traditional food. For me, both Malpica and the apartment we chose provided the best experience we have everenjoyed of this region.

Thank you Luisa!

The pictures and description of this beachfront property do not do it justice. It is simply breathtaking! The penthouse was beautifully decorated and the property was well manicured and maintained. The feeling was like being at home, warm and comfortable.

The owner was warm, friendly, gracious, accommodating, and made us feel like family. Cant say enough about the wonderful customer service that was provided. We would highly recommend this property to family and friends.

Malpica is a wonderful destination to explore. The people are warm, friendly, inviting and eager to show you the best they have to offer. If you are foodies like us, you will enjoy fabulous Galician cuisine. O Burato Resturante on the port side of Malpica serves wonderful pulpo a feira and pimientos de padrons. If an afternoon cocktail is calling your name then Area Chill Out is the place for you located on the beachfront paseo.

Whatever your passion is, Malpica has it all. Hiking to the small chapel on the hillside, long walks on the beautiful clean beach, rock concerts at the port, surfing, boating, and plenty of café/bars along the paseo. So much to do and so little time.

What more could you ask for. We can not wait to return.
