malá strana is one of prague’s most important historic quarters, shaped by baroque palaces, burghers’ houses, gardens and narrow streets between prague cast le and petřín.
prague cast le, strahov monastery, hradčany square and the petřín gardens are within walking distance. the area offers restaurants, cafés, galleries and cultural institutions, while nearby gardens and parks invite walks away from the busier parts of the centre.

czech republic sotheby’s international realty presents a 231 sqm duplex apartment in the u bílého jablka house in malá strana, just a short distance from prague cast le. occupying the top two floors of the building, the apartment enjoys views of petřín hill, the rooftops of malá strana and strahov monastery. the property also features a balcony and a 19 sqm baroque cellar.
the lower level is dedicated primarily to entertaining, with two interconnected reception rooms with windows towards the prague cast le. one serves as the main living room, while the other is arranged as a formal dining room with a large dining table. both feature contemporary wood-burning fireplaces. on the southern side of this floor, the kitchen overlooks petřín hill and opens onto a balcony. expansive, fully opening french windows fill the interior with natural light throughout the day. a guest wc and a laundry room are also located off the entrance hall.
the private area on the lower level comprise a south-facing master bedroom with a high, exposed-beam ceiling and a separate study. this area is accessed via a hallway with built-in wardrobes, a bathroom and a separate wc.
a staircase leads to the upper floor, where two additional bedrooms are arranged as self-contained guest suites, one with a 2+kk, and the other with a 1+kk (studio) layout, each with its own bathroom and kitchenette. these suites form part of the main apartment rather than separate residential units. the layout provides a clear distinction between the owners’ private area and accommodation for guests or extended stays by family and friends.
the apartment was created in 2021 as part of a comprehensive renovation of the building. its contemporary interiors have been designed with careful consideration for the property′s historical character, reflected in features such as the original decorative relief surrounds of two fireplaces. the finishes include herringbone oak parquet flooring, bespoke cabinetry and meticulously executed detailing throughout.
