Reviews of villas in Frigiliana
We have 79 reviews of our villas in Frigiliana.
Booked as the reviews were good and the price right. On nearing the villa the road goes down to single track which, if you are a nervous driver, could be a bit daunting but you get used to it very quickly. On arriving, the villa is at the end of the road. The key safe is to the left of the main gate and is easy to operate. Then you see the stunning view. It is a complete WOW. Massive door to the villa, looks like the entrance was built around the door. Very spacious property, very clean and tidy. Limited TV but we took a Kodi box and the internet is good enough to stream. Beds appear to be memory foam and are very comfortable. We heard nothing from the agents while we were out there which is how we like it. We had no reason to contact them as we had no problems. Only downside, which was very small, was that the description says that there is a bar 1 km away. No idea where it was but to be fair we did not look that hard. Car, obviously is essential. Overall a great place and would highly recommend

Loved every minute of our stay. Great location between Nerje and Frigiliana and close enough to travel to places like the Lost Village. Our villa lived up to our expectations and hope to come back soon.

About Frigiliana
Villas for rent in Frigiliana
Situated in Malaga Province on Spain’s southern coast, Frigiliana is the jewel of Axarquía region, about a half hour drive north of Nerja and less than an hour east of Malaga city. Nestled at the foot of Sierras de Tejeda, Almijara and Alhama Natural Park, take in incredible views of the surrounding Andalucian mountains and sparkling Mediterranean, while enjoying a low-key holiday away from the main tourist crowds of the Costa del Sol. From its atmospheric streets and flower-adorned alleyways, to its traditional whitewashed houses and authentic village charm, it's not hard to see why Frigiliana was voted as 'the prettiest village in Andalucia' by the Spanish tourism authority.
The old Moorish quarter houses a wealth of small convents, quaint churches and historic monuments. Travel back in time and discover remnants of its rich past at the 17th century Casa del Apero, housing the Archaeological Museum in the heart of town. Those with a sweet tooth will love a visit to one of the traditional Thursday markets, where you can sample sugar cane delicacies fresh from the molasses factory in the 16th century Nuestra Senora del Carmen mansion. Immerse yourself in the colourful celebrations of the Festival of Three Cultures, in August. After sun down, the vibrant atmosphere and energetic crowds of the local bars will make you feel right at home.
Nature enthusiasts will love a stroll around Santa Fiora botanical garden in the heart of Frigiliana, but the real gem is Sierras de Tejeda, Almijara and Alhama Natural Park; get lost in nature with a hike around the amazing ravines, rugged crags and steep slopes, go climbing, or explore the world of exotic flora and fauna. The waterfalls and natural pools of the Higueron river are the perfect base for wild swimming and family picnics. Just 7km from the coast, sun-worshippers and beachgoers are spoilt for choice, with plenty of sandy beaches to pick from and at just a short distance from all the hustle and bustle of the busy coastal resorts.
