Holiday home situated in the historic town of Frigiliana, in the region of La Axarquía, in the province of Malaga, Andalusia.
This holiday home’s rustic but practical style makes its guests feel comfortable, in a private and intimate area, which at the same time is completely integrated in the life of this small town. The huge space is divided into a bedroom with a double bed, an original decorated bathroom with shower, a dining-living room with a wood stove that shares space with a completely equipped open kitchen, characterized by handmade Sevillian tiles. The nine enormous arch-shaped windows let an unbeatable light flood into the home during all year long.
The 80 m2-wide covered terrace, the barbecue area and the private swimming pool make this holiday home a very privileged site in a peculiar environment.
It is located in the town centre, however its main characteristics are quietness and intimacy, alongside with marvellous views over Frigiliana’s fields and white houses.

Wonderful apartment in a great location and fantastic views of the area. Hosts Javier and Rosario are friendly, helpful and responsive and clearly take great pride in their properties. The roof terrace is beautiful and the pool is perfect. All of the facilities in Frigiliana are within a short walk. Perfect!!

Whatever I write will come up short of accurately describing our experience. Every single thing was better than expected! The apartment. The location. The hosts. The peacefulness. The hiking. The restaurants. The terrace. The absolute charm of Frigiliana. The ease of traveling to Nerja. It immediately felt like home to us. Magical spot with marvelous hosts! Two things to note. We do not consider these negatives, but important to know. First, if you have mobility or health issues Frigiliana may not be your best choice. Everything is either uphill or downhill. It’s quite a workout! Second, the bed is a full size (double) bed. Very comfortable. Great cotton bedding. Plenty of comforters and pillows. But if you are extra-large people accustomed to a King-sized bed, this will be an adjustment! :-) To sum it up. We would put this experience right up at the very top of the list!
I feel everything I say will fully reflect the views of the previous reviewer who captured everything we felt. The property is fantastic, clean, cosy and a beautiful patio space with various different spaces to enjoy at different times of the day, along with the fine plunge pool. Our welcome could not have been bettered and I plagiarise once more help with parking our car -secure parking but certainly couldn't have done it without Javier, the welcome pack was comprehensive and we wanted for absolutely nothing during our stay. We relaxed, we enjoyed and could very comfortably say we did feel we were in 'our home from home'. I think you'll gather from all this Javier and Rosario are the best of hosts and a joy to be around. I hope we will be back we loved everything.

Wundervolle Wohnung in ausgezeichneter Lage und fantastischer Aussicht auf die Umgebung. Die Gastgeber Javier und Rosario sind freundlich, hilfsbereit und aufmerksam und sind offensichtlich sehr stolz auf ihre Unterkünfte. Die Dachterrasse ist wunderschön und der Pool ist perfekt. Alle Einrichtungen von Frigiliana sind nur einen kurzen Spaziergang entfernt. Perfekt!

Außergewöhnlicher, wunderschöner und wunderbarer 2-wöchiger Aufenthalt. Täglich 11 Stunden Sonne auf der schönen Terrasse. Tolle Grillabende, bei denen man den Sonnenuntergang beobachten und sich im Tauchbecken abkühlen kann. Die Gastgeber waren super freundlich und hinterließen ein ausgezeichnetes Willkommenspaket und standen bei Bedarf zur Verfügung. Wir werden auf jeden Fall nächstes Jahr wiederkommen.

Ich war hier für 4 Tage, was für ein schöner Ort. Hatte ein Auto, um zum Strand und nach Granada zu fahren, blieb aber jeden Abend im Dorf. So gemütlich, viele gute Restaurants, viel besser als an der Küste zu bleiben. Lieblingsmomente. Morgenspaziergänge zum Gipfel des Hügels hinter dem Haus, bevor die Tagesausflügler eintreffen. Sonnenuntergänge im kleinen Pool, Aufwachen mit Vogelgezwitscher.

Es war ein unglaublicher Aufenthalt in einer unglaublich schönen Bergstadt. Wir liebten den Dachgarten/die Terrasse mit Aussicht, Pflanzen und Swimmingpool. Die malerischen Kopfsteinpflasterstraßen laden zum Bummeln ein und viele Restaurants und Bars sind zu Fuß erreichbar. Unser Favorit war El Mirador auf dem Gipfel von Frigiliana, mit großartigem Essen und atemberaubender Aussicht. Javier war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir können es wärmstens empfehlen.
Vielen Dank, dass Sie uns das Gefühl gegeben haben, so willkommen zu sein. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt wirklich genossen.

Mit Abstand das beste Airbnb, in dem wir je übernachtet haben. Sauber, gut ausgestattet und privat. Wir waren überwältigt von der schönen Terrasse und dem Tauchbecken, wo wir viele Stunden damit verbrachten, in Ruhe und Frieden die Sonne zu genießen. Javier und Rosario, die Gastgeber, waren fantastisch und für alles zugänglich. Auf uns wartete ein großzügiges Willkommenspaket mit Milch, Bier, Eiern, Pastete, Aufschnitt und Butter. Ich würde jederzeit wieder einen Aufenthalt hier buchen. Es ist überhaupt nicht wie ein unpersönliches Ferienhaus. Es fühlt sich sehr gemütlich an und ist mit schönen Dekorationen und bequemen Möbeln ausgestattet. Es ist eine sehr schöne Wohnung, um einen wunderschönen Urlaub in unserem geliebten Frigiliana zu verbringen.

Our stay was absolutely outstanding. Not only was Javier an amazing host, but he was so helpful and kind too. He gave us so many tips and recommendations throughout our trip and is always available if you need to call him for anything at all. The villa itself was pristine and just beautiful. It is very private and perfect for couples wanting to get away. It is in an amazing location a short walk into the main square and a very short distance to restaurants bars and little shops. Our stay was perfect and we will be returning in the future for sure. Once again they were amazing hosts, they had everything in pristine condition and never disturbed and only contacted us if necessary or to give us recommendations. Perfect location, perfect house, perfect hosts.

Perfekt für einen erholsamen Urlaub. Frigiliana ist ein charmantes kleines Dorf.
Es war alles sehr sauber. Das Haus hat alles was man für einen Miniurlaub braucht. Die Terrasse mit Grill, einem kleinen Swimmingpool und einem atemberaubenden Blick auf die Berge ist das Herzstück dieses gemütlichen Hauses.
Mehrere Restaurants, Minimärkte zu Fuß erreichbar. Den Strand erreicht man in kurzer Entfernung von 10km mit dem Auto (Nerja).
Die Gastgeber waren immer sehr nett und hilfsbereit.
Wir werden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen!

Dieses Anwesen ist fantastisch, sauber, gemütlich und mit einer wunderschönen Terrasse (wir haben ein paar Nächte zu Hause gegessen, nur um es zu nutzen). Unser Gastgeber Javier war wunderbar und hätte nicht netter zu uns sein können - er half uns beim Transport und sorgte auch dafür, dass der Kühlschrank nach unserer langen Reise mit einigen wichtigen Dingen für uns gefüllt war. Das Anwesen ist sehr zentral und in der Nähe von vielen Restaurants, Bars und Geschäften (obwohl ein Wort der Warnung - wie die meisten von Frigiliana, müssen Sie einige Hänge hinaufgehen, um es zu erreichen, also vielleicht nicht die beste Lage für diejenigen, die unsicher auf den Beinen sind ). Es gibt auch eine zusätzliche Gebühr für die Nutzung der Klimaanlage (was für uns kein Problem war, sondern nur zur Information). Vielen Dank für Javier, dass er uns gehostet hat. Wir werden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen!

We had a wonderful time staying in this apartment, it was lovely and clean with everything we needed, the terrace and views were outstanding. It is located in the village in walking distance of plenty of restaurants. As the apartment is located on steep steps, parking is not available outside but we paid extra for the parking space in a nearby garag e which was excellent and would recommend at busy times of the year. This is an excellent apartment with lovely hosts and would certainly recommend and would stay here again.

We arrived in the middle of the afternoon and we couldn't believe our luck that we were going to be spending a week in this beautiful villa. The owners Xavier and Rosario were so welcoming and after giving us the keys wished us a great holiday. They left us to enjoy after that but it was very reassuring that they were always there if we needed them. The welcome pack was excellent and saved us from having to go shopping as soon as we arrived so we could unpack and soak in the ample plunge pool. The covered pagoda seating area was also great to get out of the sun if too hot. We loved Frigiliana last year and stayed up the hill in the campo which was also superb, however this holiday had a totally different vibe being in the village. We could nip out for a drink or shopping anytime but the village was so quiet we slept sound every night. Air conditioning was included but the house is so airy and light we never turned it on once despite temperatures in the low 30's. We are already going to book for next year once we can sort out work commitments. All in all everything what a holiday should be and the house really could not have been better, thanks again Xavier and Rosario hasta luego!

The perfect relaxing retreat
My husband and I stayed here for 6 nights after our wedding. We were looking for somewhere in Frigiliana to relax and enjoy the village and see friends and family who live near by. The apartment was better than we could have hoped for. So much inside space and excellent air conditioning (it got very hot outside) but the defining feature of this place is the roof terrace. No pictures will do it justice and I could have looked at that view for days! The plunge pool was a welcome relief from the heat and was always immaculate as was the rest of the apartment. Add in easy walking distance to restaurants in Frigiliana, a comfortable bed, beautiful welcome pack, wonderful hosts we I couldn't have been happier. I will be booking for our future trips! A very special place.

My husband and I stayed at this fantastic villa in September. It definitely lives up to the great reviews on the website and I would definitely return. Everything is very clean and comfortable and the roof top pool and terrace are the icing on the cake. We had to work a little while we were there and the wifi was therefore very useful! The owners were very helpful and friendly but not over the top so again perfect. Great restaurants in the near vicinity and a supermarket too. I would recommend hiring a car and seeing more of the area too. A big thank you to the owners for making our stay so enjoyable and relaxing.

Everything about our holiday at this beautiful place was fabulous and the experience summarised by so many other reviews. Lovely hosts javier and family were welcoming, warm, helpful and unobtrusive. Nice welcome pack, spotless apartment with everything you need. Fantastic location with supermarkets and restaurants on the doorstep. Wonderful terrace with amazing views, sun or shade all day/evening. We will return either later this year or next. Muchas gracias!

Wij hadden een bijzonder leuke vakantie. We komen wel vaker in deze streek, dus dat het er zo mooi en gezellig is, dat wisten we al wel langer. Door zijn perfecte ligging aan de rand van het oude centrum van Frigiliana is het hier altijd weer heerlijk thuiskomen na een daguitstap. Barretjes en restaurantjes binnen handbereik in dit mooie dorp. Het huisje is perfect in orde en wordt duidelijk met liefde onderhouden door zijn charmante eigenaars, Rosario en Javier. De ontvangst is hartelijk en Rosario en Javier staan altijd paraat om te helpen als dat nodig zou zijn. Wij vonden het hier zo goed dat we in september alvast een andere woning van Rosario en Javier geboekt hebben, ook in Frigiliana.

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful apartment with great roof terrace. Javier and Rosario, the owners who live in the house below are very welcoming and helpful without being instrusive. The apartment itself is lovely and homely, it really feels like someone’s home, and the roof terrace is fantastic, very large with all the seating and sunbathing furniture you need and a wonderful decent sized plunge pool, all back dropped by the mountains, very beautiful... Frigliana itself is a beautiful village, very Spanish, and Nerja which is only a short bus journey away is also a great place to visit.

This property is perfect in every way. On the edge of this stunning village has every amenity you could possibly want. The plunge pool on the terrace was very welcome on the hot July days and the owners Javier and Rosario were there when you needed them but invisible when you didn't. I highly recommend this property. Thank you Javier and Rosario, you truly are wonderful people! See you in June 2016

Fantastic apartment , perfect location, lovely village.
A lovely welcome from the family and Javier started the holiday with a really good quality welcome pack in the apartment. The apartment is a great size and is really well equipped. There is a totally private terrace and a small pool(a bit chilly yet!). Only a few KM to excellent beaches. The village is beautiful with a wealth of restaurants and bars. We booked another holiday there in August, and will be returning as often as we can. Never done that before!
