Fabulous villa with outstanding views

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.

Simply perfect!

A beautiful villa in a beautiful location. Yes the driveway is challenging when you first arrive but you soon get used to it, and it means the villa is right in the heart of the valley with gorgeous views across to Frigiliana (in the day you can even walk across the valley into town!). Paco the owner was very friendly, I just wish I could speak better Spanish to tell him how lovely his villa is and how amazingly clean and well looked after it is.

(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.

Family holiday

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 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)

C’est déjà mon quatrième voyage dans ce magnifique pays, et pourtant, à chaque fois, je ressens la même chose : je m’y sens accueilli avec le cœur, comme si j’étais un peu chez moi. ❤︎ Au-delà des paysages et de la beauté du pays, ce sont surtout les personnes qui rendent chaque séjour si précieux. Votre gentillesse, vos sourires, votre générosité et cette chaleur humaine que vous partagez si naturellement me touchent profondément. Alors, tout simplement, merci pour ces belles rencontres, pour ces petits gestes qui font du bien et pour tous ces moments qui restent dans le cœur. ❤︎ Je repars avec de merveilleux souvenirs et une seule certitude : je reviendrai, c’est promis. À très bientôt ! Viva España.

Family holiday

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!

Wij hebben genoten van ons verblijf in Villa Francisco in Frigiliana. De routebeschrijving was duidelijk, de ontvangst ter plaatse was hartelijk. Het huis was ruim en bijzonder compleet ingericht. Het uitzicht vanuit het huis verveelde geen moment en van het zwembad hebben we erg genoten. En inderdaad konden we lopen naar Frigiliana; zelfs in het donker durfden we het aan. Kortom: een zeer geslaagde vakantie! Bedankt, en, wie weet, willen we volgend jaar weer!

Sehr schönes Haus, großer schöner Pool, schön und bequem eingerichtet. Eines der schönsten Häuser in denen ich bisher war. Hat Moskito Screens, was ich toll finde. Es liegt etwas abseits. Die Gehentfernung zum Dorf ist eher 30 Minuten und um Dunklen nicht machbar, aber wenn man sich an die Anfahrt gewöhnt hat ist es auch mit den Auto kein Problem unterwegs zu sein.

Villa Francisco is a perfect place to have peaceful and relaxing vacation. The location is great. You are only 10 min walk away from the village of Frigiliana, but still in perfect privacy and away from the rush. The private pool area with attached barbecue gives more value to Villa. We had many nice evenings sitting close to the pool, having barbecue, and admiring the beautiful scenery of the valley and the village! We met the owner every now and then while he came to attend his avocado and mango trees, which surrounded the Villa. He was very helpful and kind. Inside the Villa there is everything there needs to be. We made food mostly ourselves, and kitchen was well equipped, Wi-Fi works and TV as well. Two bathrooms with showers is a luxury! You can even play table tennis on the ground floor a terrace :) The only thing that was not so nice, was the road. It takes 15 minutes by car from Frigiliana to villa. At the first time, the last 800 meters down to the villa is a real adventure,

We so enjoyed our stay at this villa. It was peaceful and idyllic. What a fantastic position looking over to Frigiliana. The villa is beautifully furnished and of a high standard. The pool is lovely and clean and the outdoor kitchen is perfect for a family gathering around the pool. The various places to sit outdoors at the villas are perfect, if you want the sun or shade there is always somewhere to tuck yourself away with a good book. It's perfect for a peaceful holiday if you like to be off the beaten track.

Nous avons habité cette magnifique propriété du 18 mai au 1er juin 2019. La température était exceptionnelle pour des Québécois qui ont plutôt l'habitude des printemps incertains. 6 adultes y cohabitent sans contrainte avec plaisir. La maison est très bien équipée et des terrasses extérieures partiellement recouvertes permettent de se prélasser en tout temps ou d'y festoyer. Paco et sa femme Loli sont très attentionnés et gentils. On nous offre les avocats, les citrons et les nispéros qui poussent sur la propriété. Miam! Tous les équipements fonctionnent, les moustiquaires sont à chaque fenêtre, les ouvertures sont bien sécurisées et il y a amplement de stationnement. On décrit que la route d'accès au gîte est abrupte. En effet, c'est très montagnard mais on s'y fait. C'est très étroit, pentu, et cahoteux. Ça prend la puissance de voiture recommandée et si la garde au sol est basse, (nous avions une Mercedes B200), il faut aller lentement pour ne pas frotter le sol. Cependant, cette pe
