Villa Francisco

A great little villa just outside the charming village of Frigiliana. Fantastic facilities particularly the pool and outdoor bbq / kitchen area. We were a family group of 4 but it comfortably accommodates 6, well equipped main kitchen and a great terrace for dining. The views across the valley to Frigiliana were stunning especially when the sun was going down. The drive down the concrete track to the villa is fine for a regular car but is quite steep so be prepared.

We spent 2 weeks at villa Francisco. The first with our adult children and their partners and the second just us a retired couple. Booking and communication with agent was very simple and helpful. Access required a car with a decent engine and the confidence to drive on steep windy mountain roads. That said this access is easier than many villas we have stayed at. The villa had plenty of room for 6 adults and was equipped with everything we needed. Much has been said about the walk from the villa to town. It’s mostly on a dirt come concrete track. But half way you need to cross a short steep dry river bed. If we were wearing our uk hiking boots we wouldn’t blink but trying to negotiate this in summer gear and sandals was tricky. Us oldies managed it once. Our kids had no problems. Definitely not a night time walk. In the end easier to make the 10 minute drive! Villa and pool were spotless... (CONTINUE BELOW)

(CONTINUE HERE)… The owner (Francisco) was around most mornings (early) cleaning and tending his fruit trees. Lovely man and a pleasure to chat to but he doesn’t speak English. Loads of wonderful places to eat in the village and if you want more then Nerja is about 15 minutes drive away. Good choice of big supermarkets. Lots of fridge and freezer space including a separate fridge freezer in the outside kitchen next to the pool, which was very handy. The outside kitchen was really handy and centers around a traditional Spanish BBQ. All in all a fantastic villa which we would happily recommend.

Lovely place. Amazing view over the countryside, Frigiliana and the sourounding mountain. Perfect place for hiking and a cold drink when you return.

The property was perfect, clean and exceptionally comfortable beds. Pool area stunning.However track to villa somewhat bumpy and dangerous at parts, especially when meeting oncoming vehicles. Description mentioned access but somewhat under described it.We are confident experienced drivers , this is not for the faint hearted. We never found the walking route to the village. We spoke no Spanish and were unable to communicate with the owner. Google translate was a step to far for him. So we were very disappointed as looked in vain for a passable route through the undergrowth to the village

We are a family of 4 with kids aged 14 & 11. The accommodation suited us perfectly, being all on one level. Spacious outside areas provided seating/lounging by the pool or on another terrace with stunning views in all directions. Good wifi and choice of english TV channels. The villa is maintained inside and out to a high standard by the lovely owners, who are on hand. Villa is well situated for accessing main roads for day trips and only a 10 minute drive to Neja and Burrianna Beach.

Fully prepared for the drive to the villa . Well worth the effort , the views are amazing from the pool terrace . The house has everything you would want and more . The area has a lot to offer especially a little village called El Acebuchal with a interesting history and a adventurous drive to it . The food at the one restaurant has a old fashion menu . Including rabbit , oxtail and wild boar . We found the beach at Torrox Costa better than Nerja due to the water quality . We have had a lovely 10 days holiday here . Thanks to the owners and too Casitas-select

When we arrived at the villa and outside areas were spotlessly clean. The villa is really well equipped for cooking meals, and the outside BBQ area was brilliant and we used it most days. Rooms were all really comfortable and had extra blankets etc if it got a bit cold. Communication was great throughout our stay, the pool was kept clean too which was really nice! Don't let the drive down put you off, it's wide and concrete, and you soon get used to it. Walking down into Frigiliana across the valley is a good walk during the day but you couldn't do it at night. Frigiliana is absolutely stunning and has great bars, shops and restaurants and is really authentic. Overall our stay here has been the best villa holiday we've had in Spain and would highly recommend!
