About this property

Arcos de Almona Frigiliana by Ruralidays

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.

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.

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!

Wundervolle Wohnung in ausgezeichneter Lage und fantastischer Aussicht auf die Umgebung.

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 fantastic holiday, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet relaxing break. I agree with all the other reviewers - Rosario and Javier are so warm and welcoming and considering that they live downstairs, they were never intrusive; just there when needed. The apartment is comfortable and the terrace is just lovely, filled with scented potted plants and you could just sit and stare at the view for days. It is spotlessly clean and tidy, and the welcome pack is more than generous. We have already booked for next year, it was that perfect.

Unique little apartment ideal for 2 people, lovely views from superb terrace. We stayed in this lovely apartment for a long weekend (4 days). It was a perfect break in November, the sun shone every day. We had breakfast on the terrace overlooking the mountains. The accommodation is excellent and the location ideal for walking through the old town, didn't need a car. We enjoyed seeing our friends, the owners Rosario, Javier and their children as always. We would love to stay here again and would recommend it to our friends and family.

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!

This really beautiful, excellently equipped traditional style Andalusian home near the centre of Frigiliana is the ideal place to go for a truly relaxing break. The roof garden is amazing, with stunning views where you can relax in seclusion. Only a short walk to the village centre with a good selection of shops. Very good places to eat nearby where the cuisine is varied and of high standard. I would definitely recommend this location to anyone.

Within a few hours of arriving we knew we had made a mistake booking this villa for only one week - we should have booked it for two! It is in an ideal location, and the roof terrace with plunge pool is terrific offering great views over the town and to the mountains beyond. Furnishings are perfectly adequate and the property was spotless when we arrived. The owner Javier and his wife are very friendly and nothing appeared to be too much trouble for them - they genuinely want their guests to enjoy their stay - we certainly did.

My second experience at this beautiful Villa, previously in 2012 and the place is as beautiful as ever. Extremely well equipped...all facilities we could require. As it was early in the year we found the evenings rather chilly however Javier and his son, Nicholas, scoured the village for logs and we had an amazing log fire (2 or 3 evenings) which kept us snuggly!! Daytimes were tremendous out on the well equipped terrace along with occasional dips in the plunge pool..yes it was actually warm enough to do that despite cool evenings! And of course, Frigiliana itself, we couldn't wish for more bars, restaurants and cafe's. Ate out every evening, some breakfast times..just glorious! Shall go again!

This villa is in a great location in the historical part of Frigiliana, with the beautiful narrow cobbled and tiled streets and lanes with steps or paths leading to various bars, restaurants, shops with great views over the surrounding country side, the mountains and down to the coast. Rosario and Javier are nice friendly hosts and we met Claudia their daughter too, who gave us our keys and showed my wife and I around on our arrival. The charming town house accommodation on the upper level of the building is mainly open plan with everything you need and the outside roof terrace including plunge pool was marvellous for enjoying the sunshine (yeah in October). A very good welcome pack was provided including bread, meats, eggs, water, fruit juice, wine, beer and all the basics you need to start of your holiday. We liked eating out and enjoyed the Garden Restaurant, Gusto, Taberna del Sacristan and our local (50 metres down the road) Bar Fandango. My wife and I hope to return again next year.
