Γρήγορη Ματιά: It's a gorgeous historic property, but the rooftop pool is tiny and the pedestrian-only street means arriving by car is a massive headache.
Αξιολόγηση από @Travel_Homage: My stay at Palacio Solecio was unforgettable. The historic architecture is breathtaking, and my room was so cozy and elegant. Having breakfast in that stunning courtyard before stepping right out into the vibrant streets of Málaga was the absolute best.

5 πράγματα που πρέπει να ξέρετε πριν φύγετε
💡The building was once the home of an 18th-century Italian playing card manufacturer (Real Fábrica de Naipes).
💡The hotel's color scheme (greens, reds, blues) is inspired by the design of the original playing cards.
💡The standard rooms are quite small (around 23-24 sqm), which is typical for historic European buildings but might surprise Americans.
💡The rooftop pool doesn't open until 11:00 AM, so early morning swims are out of the question.
💡The hotel is actually made up of two buildings: the original 18th-century Palacio and a newer, more modern Solecio wing.
