Great view without having to drive in the mountains. Nice pool and Bali bed

Had a great stay (10 days). Noelia and Javier are super friendly and welcoming. The house is even better than in the pictures. Lots of kitchen utensils also for the outdoor kitchen / grill. Lovely pool, good beds, nice shower. House can be secured by lowering the shutters and setting the alarm. Atmospherically lit, in short a pearl and had a wonderful holiday! We will definitely come back!

Jose the host is very attentive. We spent our mornings hiking the hills and mountains, afternoons and evenings playing in the pool, sunbathing and bbqing. The perfect relaxing holiday. The property was clean, equipped with everything we needed and the garden is beautiful.

The house is located in a beautiful, quiet area. We have made wonderful trips in the area and discovered nice places. It was wonderful to stay at the pool, in warm weather there are enough shady spots under the olive trees. The owners are very friendly. Every morning they come discreetly to clean the pool. We had a wonderful holiday.

We had a lovely 12 days holiday in this villa. Upstairs 2 bedroom accommodation was very comfortable with beautiful views. Kitchen was equipped very well. Lovely veranda. We felt the pool need some attention, because of fallen out tiles creating sharp edges on the steps. Pool area need some new brollies because lack of shade as it was very hot while we was there.

Super nice house and in a great location with a view over the lake. Owner is very nice and answers quickly

The property was perfect size, well equipped , clean with all facilities working . The pool was just right size, the views were great from the patio and the garden and it was so quiet that we were able to sleep very well everyday .

I have nothing negative to say about this place, and even less about Paqui, a wonderful host, available at all times and ready to resolve unforeseen events! We will definitely come back!

We had a lovely time at this property. It was so tranquil with great views and walks, and has everything for a couple. We had such a relaxing time. We will definitely return. Thank you to the lovely owners.

This was our second stay here, and we were just as impressed as last time. Asun, Juan, and Dany are wonderful hosts and incredibly kind. We immediately felt at home. The house and garden are beautiful, clean, and well-maintained. They have truly thought of everything. They generously provided us with vegetables, eggs, and olive oil from their own garden. We feel very lucky to have been able to visit this beautiful place with our family for the second time. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

A piece of paradise on earth. We have been travelling to beautiful, remote destinations for over 20 years and this was one of the best – all expectations were exceeded. Pure relaxation. A fantastic large pool, magnificent views into the distance; El Torcal National Park is 15 minutes away – we have rarely seen such magnificent scenery. The house offers sensational views of the national park on one side and the sea on the other, although you can only guess the view. The kitchen is well equipped, the rooms are spacious and offer plenty of storage space. The road to the house is accessible with a small car and very easy to reach. The town offers everything you need (a supermarket, lovely restaurants that are very busy with locals; the atmosphere is great). The communication with Katerina is excellent – she is always available and super friendly and attentive. A tip: reconnect the outdoor shower. The house is exceptionally clean and the facilities are very good. In the area it is a great base for excursions into the mountains, sightseeing and city tours.

We had a wonderful holiday in Raul's house. The pool was fantastic and the children could play in the large garden. After trips to the beach, Granada and the Sierra Nevada it was wonderful to come back to the peace and the beautiful serene surroundings of the house. We would love to come back again.

Beautiful house with all amenities! Lots of attention to the outdoor space and nice pool.

Very good house, we will come back

.

Peace and beautiful location

A big thank you to José for his availability, his smile and his kindness! Cleanliness, privacy and guaranteed privacy thanks to the location of the house which is not far from small Andalusian villages and especially Ronda which is absolutely worth visiting! Thank you again José for your welcome

Incredibly kind and warm welcome from hosts. The house and grounds were everything we could have wished for. Would definitely book again.

Warm welcome from the owner. Pleasant, spacious, and well-equipped rental.

A very nice house to relax.

Very good

Nice location. Very quiet but means you have to drive 15 minutes along a small road.

The road to the cottage is not to be underestimated

We were welcomed friendly and were able to enter the house on time. The beds were good, nice soft towels, well-equipped kitchen, nice swimming pool.

We are delighted with Andalusia. The climate and accommodation are always excellent.

The villa was outstanding and the location was perfect, only a short walk into the village which has an excellent choice of bars and restaurants. We love that the village retains it’s traditional spanish charm and the locals are so friendly. The villa has everything you need for your stay, and the welcome pack with wine, water, meats and bread was a very nice touch. Communication from the owner was excellent and he responded very quickly to our messages. I would recommend this villa and location if you’re just wanting to relax and unwind without the hustle and bustle of overcrowded tourist destinations.

The view is beautiful and the location very quiet. You can't see or hear the neighbors either. Sometimes you could hear dogs barking in the distance, but that was about it. The outdoor area is simply beautiful and lovingly landscaped. We were even lucky enough to have an avocado fall from one of the many avocado trees there, which was ripe and ready to eat three days later. We didn't lack for anything in the house itself; it was well-equipped. The walk to the house, at least the last 2 km, is a bit of a challenge, as the road isn't particularly well-maintained and very bumpy; you travel at around 10-20 km/h. Just keep in mind that the 10 km to Frigiliana takes about 20 minutes. Our tip: definitely don't take the shorter 7 km route that Google shows; it's worse. :) However, the best shopping options were in Nerja. This holiday home is simply perfect for relaxing. If you want to be active, you'll just have to allow a few extra minutes on the road :)

A fantastic place to relax in peace and quiet for two. The house is immaculate and ideally located. The sea, bars, restaurants, and shops are just a few minutes' walk away. Large cities like Malaga and Granada are less than an hour's drive away. This very modern house offers everything you need. A major plus: the pool, illuminated in bright colors at night! The host is very attentive and takes care of everything immediately. A perfect place!

We felt very comfortable. The route was easy to remember. The view is magnificent. At sunset, you can admire the lights of Torrox and the sea.

Accommodation located close to shops and supermarkets. The surrounding nature is ideal for walks and enjoying nature. A short walk will take you to one of the local beaches. An ideal place to relax and reconnect with loved ones. We had a wonderful stay.

The property's furnishings are cozy and rustic, just as you'd expect from a country house. The outdoor area is spacious and offers plenty of seating. There's also a pool table and ping-pong table for entertainment. Antonio was always available to answer any questions. Upon our arrival, the entire family greeted us warmly and surprised us with a welcome gift (wine, olives, and snacks). We felt very welcome. Best regards.

This was our second visit. Fab location, stunning scenery, very peaceful. Lovely home with lots of character, the housekeeper is very friendly and helpful.

Everything was as described and all that we needed for a relaxing week. We particularly liked the outdoor cooking area and the views were incredible. The perfect hideaway for relaxing escape.

Unfortunately, we only spent 12 days in this beautiful, lovingly furnished house with a lovely pool (we could have stayed much longer) 😄. The fantastic views are simply breathtaking: the valley, the sea, the mountains, and the daily sunshine. The hosts, Montse and Antonio, were very welcoming, and we thank them for their hospitality. The house is spacious, cozy, and excellently equipped; it has everything you need for a comfortable stay. A perfect place to enjoy nature, peace, and quiet away from the hustle and bustle, and to unwind. The house is located in the mountains, above Frigiliana, about 20 minutes from Nerja. This house is perfect for those seeking peace, stunning nature, and spectacular views.

The owner was very friendly and gave us good directions. The location was absolutely fantastic. We had stunning views in every direction. The amenities were excellent; we wanted for nothing. The children's facilities are ideal.

We have now been to this villa for the 4th time in a row and it was again very good. Only for the 2nd time in 2 years we had to deal with an English upstairs neighbor who let her music boxes boom every day which was a stain on the holiday. Unfortunately, nothing seems to be done about that. Too bad. We could never go back in May.

Miguel the owner is very friendly, very nice to meet at the meeting point to be guided to the accommodation and to know which road we can best drive. The accommodation is beautiful, everything is clean, both inside and outside. It has really been a great holiday in a beautiful accommodation. The reviews about the steep narrow road are correct, but it is all paved, is regularly pruned for the best overview and that road is 1.5 km and easy to do. If you have a fear of heights and find this scary, I can imagine that it is not nice. Enough space to park the cars, just great!

A fantastic house and view. We fell in love with the house immediately and were very happy; the attention to detail is clearly visible. From the moment you enter, you realize how unique it is and how much love and work has been put into it. It is very clean and everything is impeccably maintained. The beds are incredibly comfortable. The outdoor area not only has a beautiful pool, but also beautiful flowers and plants. The view is breathtaking from all sides. Here you can really relax and recharge your batteries! It is very quiet, but you have everything you need nearby, just a few minutes away. A small supermarket about 5 minutes away offers everything you need. Restaurants and a charming village are about 10 minutes away. We were warmly welcomed by the hosts; it felt like we had known each other for years. Pepi and her husband are very friendly, very helpful and always there for us. We can't wait to come back! Another highlight is the easy access to the house. We highly recommend a holiday there. Thank you very much!

After a very good experience in 2022 returned to Finca ------. Ernesto and Nieves are very good hosts and nothing is too much for them. The house is a picture and very fully equipped with a fantastic pool and view. We would love to come back.

track up to the property was a bit rough and bumpy, a 4 wheel-drive car would help, once there everything was as expected.

We enjoyed the whole experience immensely.

A very good experience with this villa. The location is excellent, in a tourist town that remains on a human scale, without large buildings, and near one of the most beautiful villages in Andalusia, Frigiliana. The pool was nice, the house offers everything you need for a pleasant stay and it is safe. However, keep in mind that the roof terrace is not equipped as in the photos, so we did not use it, which is a shame. Otherwise everything was fine. Although there are improvements possible, it was a very good stay and we will definitely come back.

In one word: fantastic.

Easy access, very close to the supermarket, very clean, good bed, well-functioning sanitary facilities.

Beautiful house with a magnificent view. It lacks some kitchen utensils, such as a kettle. The owner is very friendly and helpful, even though he only speaks Spanish. We would definitely stay there again.

We were there out of season so the other houses were empty. However, there was construction going on around the houses at the time which could be heard from 7am until 5pm. That was the only thing that spoiled an otherwise lovely stay. The house was beautiful as were the views. The ability to heat the pool was also handy so we could swim in the evenings. We would definitely go back.

Beautiful place, quietly situated between the greenery. Lovely swimming pool. Excellent price quality.

The exterior was very pretty, as was the view. The kitchen was not up to standard; the pots and pans needed replacing. The washing machine was very dirty and didn't work.

A top place in a super beautiful environment! Everything was right. We enjoyed it!

The house is spacious, enough furniture to be outside, very quiet area. The landlord is very hospitable and helpful. Great BBQ to eat outside. The road to the house is partly unpaved, you have to take this into account when renting a bike or the type of car.

Excellent accommodation and very informative and friendly host - very serine location with incredible facilities within the accomodation.

A beautiful, small, lovingly furnished finca with excellent amenities. The owner is very friendly and dedicated. He gave us valuable recommendations for restaurants, shops, and more. He also stocked the fridge with a bottle of water and five cans of San Miguel, and gave us two bottles of his own wine. The house is very insulated, so no one minds if you sit there a bit longer and make a lot of noise. The drive to the finca is a bit long. It's not a good idea to go in a sports car or a low-powered one. This makes the trip to the village a bit tedious.

We loved the stay the only slight issue was the double bed. We are not big people but it was exceptionally small so we had to sleep in separate beds in order to get a good night’s sleep! Not a problem for us really but might not be ideal for other couples

A Perfect Family Getaway – We Didn't Want to Leave! We had the most wonderful stay at Villa Antonio in Nerja – a true gem tucked away in a peaceful and scenic location, just a short 5-minute drive from the town centre. Travelling as a family with three children, we couldn’t have asked for a better place to unwind and enjoy everything the beautiful Andalusian coast has to offer. The villa itself is absolutely stunning, both inside and out. The decor is tasteful and elegant, with every little detail thoughtfully considered. It felt like a true home away from home, but with that extra touch of luxury. Everything you could possibly need is provided – from a fully equipped kitchen to comfortable beds and lovely outdoor spaces. There is a fully functional washing machine, dishwasher and iron and ironing board. WiFi is excellent and there’s even a firestick to access Netflix etc. Private parking was a huge plus. The highlight for our children was definitely the pool – they spent hours splashing around while we relaxed in the sun, taking in the peaceful surroundings. One of my highlight was standing looking over the olive groves just below us. The quiet location made it feel like a private retreat, yet we were still so close to all the excitement of Nerja. Nerja itself has so much to offer – from exploring the famous Nerja Caves to enjoying the incredible views at the Balcón de Europa, not to mention the beautiful beaches and charming local restaurants. I would 100% recommend little Italy for pizza and meson Antonio for the best steak you’ll ever have. There’s something for everyone, whether you're looking for adventure, culture, or just some quality family time by the sea. A huge thank you to the lovely owner Sara, who was extremely helpful throughout our stay. Communication was excellent, and it was clear from the start that she genuinely cares about her guests having a great experience. We would recommend Villa Antonio to everyone – families, couples, or anyone looking for a peaceful, comfortable, and beautifully presented place to stay in one of the most stunning parts of Spain. We’re already dreaming of our next visit!

Simply everything is great

the friendly owner. The accommodation was perfect. Definitely recommended Everything neat and tidy

We enjoyed a beautiful house in a beautiful environment. Very complete house and An is a nice owner who is immediately ready when needed.

A beautiful, quiet and spacious house, the facilities are very good and it was very clean, a beautiful secluded pool and a very nice and helpful owner who gave us advice, always had answers and spoiled us with his garden delicacies: a successful holiday in all respects.

Lovely

Very nice and large plot with trees and flowers, with a large swimming pool. Very nice covered terrace to eat and relax in the shade. The house is old-fashioned and has thick walls, which keeps it cool. The furnishings are rustic. The bedding is good and the bathrooms are adequate. Covered parking for vehicles. Good barbecue. Good household appliances with 2 refrigerators, 2 dishwashers, 2 washing machines and 1 dryer, new coffee maker and capsule machine. The only downside is that the cooking equipment is a bit basic and could be expanded and renewed. The village of Arriate is nearby and there you will find all the shops. Good location for visiting Ronda, the white villages, Jerez de la Frontera and Cádiz. Quiet area. Very friendly and attentive owners, but only speak Spanish, thanks to Google Translate.

Just loved how peaceful it was and the views are stunning

A wonderful place with a great view and a very helpful owner.

The villa overall was lovely & just needs a little TLC outside.

We have been holidaying in spain for many years and the villa in Torrox was very relaxed, private and with a fantastic view. We had a wonderful stay. Directions to find the property where very good and despite our very late arrival we were met in a local fuel station and taken up to the property and shown around, this was very much appreciated. Thank you very much

Beautiful views, very clean property and well equipped. The roads to get there are challenging in places but it is worth it when you get there and see the views. Beds very comfortable, pool is amazing and Carlos was very helpful

Everything is perfect.

Very beautiful well-functioning house located with the most beautiful view of Antequera. Kitchen, terrace and pool/garden on one level was a big plus for us as we traveled with 4 children aged 1-9. The house is as beautiful in reality as in the pictures.

A perfect week, the beauty of the house and the landscape, the surroundings, the tranquility, the proximity to Malaga and the friendliness of the owners are even better in real life! I recommend staying at Iznate with Rosi and Alberto.

Fantastic house and outdoor area for two families to share. So clean and well maintained.

We had a very nice holiday. The accommodation contributed greatly to this. Nice house, beautiful location and beautiful surroundings.

A beautiful area, not yet overcrowded in the low season, with fantastic excursion destinations (Granada, Cordoba, Seville, El Torcal National Park).

We had an amazing week at the Villa at the end of May. The Villa itself is beautiful and modern. It is of high-quality and lots of care has been taken in the layout. The pool area and outside space is beautiful and the infinity pool coupled with an incredible view leading down to the sea from the mountains is unbeatable. The Villa is well equipped with everything you need and even some lovely extras you wouldn’t expect. I would like to thank Manuel for a wonderful holiday. He is a fantastic host. We will return at our earliest opportunity. Information for other guests, the dirt road accessing the Villa from the main road is steep in places although short. Make sure your hire car is capable of handling it.

It was a fantastic holiday; the house is in a beautiful and quiet location. The house and the furnishings are not new, but charming. For those interested: the house and the pool are visible from an upper house, but not visible in the photos. We will definitely come back!

Nice quiet area nice swimming pool

Magnificent villa. Pépé gave a very warm welcome and was very helpful. It was a superb stay. You just need a good car to get there.

Great place, would visit again and would recommend!

Beautiful accommodation with spectacular views and a lovely pool area. The owners were very friendly and attentive. I would definitely stay here again. It's worth noting that the air conditioning is only available in the living room (there are fans in all the bedrooms). Although powerful, it requires leaving the bedroom doors open to cool them down. The days we were there were very hot, and it was noticeable. I suspect it will be wonderful on days with less extreme temperatures. Otherwise, everything was perfect!

We spent a wonderful week in this beautiful holiday home and felt very comfortable. It has a fantastic view; it is a typical rustic farmhouse, furnished with many loving details. Everything you need is there, everything is beautifully maintained and we were greeted with two large baskets full of tomatoes and avocados. The owner was very nice and hospitable, even though unfortunately we could not talk much to each other. We highly recommend the house and will gladly come back. By the way, yes, the road is a bit bumpy here and there, but absolutely passable!

Beautiful house in a quiet location with truly breathtaking views of the Andalusian mountains. The management was excellent, the house was digitally connected and the air conditioning was very quiet. Unfortunately, a barbecue and pool heating were missing. However, this does not detract from the excellent impression that the accommodation makes. An absolute recommendation for anyone with high demands on an exclusive holiday.

If you are looking for peace and privacy, this is the perfect place. Waking up in the morning at this place is priceless. The house is not equipped with great luxury but is very neat and clean and equipped with everything you need. Good shower. Within a few minutes you are in the village where you can find the basic facilities. However, if you want a more extensive range and a large supermarket you have to drive half an hour. The house is equipped with a large freezer so you can buy for several days. It is ideally located if you want to visit the classics of Andalusia. Central between Granada, Cordoba and Seville. We had beautiful weather. Dolores is super friendly. We got fruit, fresh eggs and honey. We went home refreshed.

Amazing

We had an absolutely fantastic time, the villa was beautiful, Jose was lovely and helpful at all times too. We enjoyed it so much that by day 3 we booked to return for next year.

This was a lovely property, however it was 5km from the village of Competa and not 1km as stated. Also would benefit from air conditioning or fans as it was very hot at night. Mattresses were not very comfortable and would benefit from mirrors in the bedrooms.

The journey to the farm is complicated. The approximately 8 km long route from the main road to the farm takes about 20 minutes.

The apartment is very nicely laid out and with its balcony and direct sea view it is highly recommended. There is nothing to complain about the facilities.

We were a group of friends with small children and we had a great time.

Spacious rooms and beautiful and well maintenance outside areas. Very friendly host.

I was very impressed by the friendliness of the hosts, who were always super attentive and friendly. The accommodation is ideal and super accessible, and very well equipped for a short stay. Everything is super clean and tidy, both inside and outside. The view is spectacular and the pool and barbecue are also great. We would definitely like to come back and recommend it 100%.

Beautiful
