When I’m not at home in Frigiliana, I sometimes rent out my Andalusian home. Tourist licence VUT/MA/86771.
It is located on the ground floor of one of the whitewashed houses in this ”one of Spain’s most beautiful villages”.
Getting here is easy. Once you land in Málaga, it’s just 50 kilometers away. Buses run frequently eastward to the small coastal town of Nerja, and from there, the local bus takes you the remaining 5 kilometers up to Frigiliana.
Frigiliana is perched on a mountainside 300 meters above sea level and is considered one of the most beautiful white villages in Spain. Though small, it has plenty of restaurants and shops. From my house, you’re within walking distance to all the village’s restaurants and stores, as well as many hiking trails in the mountains and along the riverbed, leading up into the hills and down to Nerja.
The best part, aside from the charm of the village itself, is the nature. The mountains offer countless hiking trails and viewpoints overlooking the sparkling blue Mediterranean, and the valley is filled with groves of exotic fruits.
You can get around the village easily without a car, but if you do come by car, it’s less than an hour’s drive via the highway from Málaga, and street parking in Frigiliana is free. With a car, you can also reach secluded beaches and take day trips to the region’s many small villages and diverse hiking routes.
Frigiliana is located on a mountain shelf 300 meters above sea level and is considered one of Spain’s most beautiful white villages. It is no less than that it has many restaurants and shops. The best, however, is nature. The mountains with all the hiking trails and viewpoints and the valley with its plantations.
You have walking distance to all restaurants and shops as well as many hiking trails in the mountains and the river bed up and down to Nerja so you manage well without a car. If you come by car, you will be there in less than an hour via the motorway from Malaga and in Frigiliana you can park for free on the streets. By car you can also get to secluded beaches with clear turquise water and make excursions to all the small villages in the area and lots of different hiking trails.
Eight beds, three bathrooms, two kitchens, private garden and pool…
I have the ground floor of a house and a lovely small garden with a pool. There are two apartments—one smaller and one larger—both with direct access to the garden. The property and garden were redesigned and completely renovated in 2022.
There are a total of eight sleeping places divided between two bedrooms—one in each apartment—plus a sofa bed in the small apartment and a large corner sofa in the bigger apartment. In total, there are three bathrooms, plus an outdoor WC. All rooms are on the same level. Indoors, you can move between the apartments via the laundry room, where the washing machine and dryer are located.
The smaller apartment has its own entrance from the street. It includes one bedroom with a double bed that can be separated into two single beds, a simple Andalusian-style kitchen, and a living room with a sofa bed for two. There is a bathroom with a shower. Everything is new and fresh. The kitchen has the essentials for preparing simple meals. You can also cook in the garden, where there is a large barbecue area with both a gas grill and a charcoal grill. The portable induction hob from the kitchen can be brought outside.
The larger apartment features a bedroom with a large double bed (180 x 200 cm) and an en-suite bathroom, a spacious living room with an open-plan kitchen, and sliding glass doors along the entire southwest-facing wall that open onto the garden. The living room has a large smart TV, a generous corner sofa with two excellent extra sleeping spots if needed, and another bathroom with a shower. Four people can stay here comfortably, but for a couple, having the apartment to themselves feels like pure luxury. Everything is new, fresh, and very spacious.
Both apartments are equipped with a modern heating and cooling system. The bathrooms and the master bedroom have underfloor heating (can be activated at an additional cost). Both bathrooms are fitted with modern ventilation fans that run continuously.
The garden
The garden features a barbecue area with a long counter, both gas and charcoal/wood grills, a large dining table with room for many, and a swimming pool. Both the barbecue area and the pool shower have hot and cold water. There is also a WC outside. The pool has heating, but using it comes at an additional cost. Activation can be arranged in advance.
Half of the garden is planted with trees, flowers, and a small kitchen garden. Here you’ll find orange, banana, grape, lemon, mango, avocado, papaya, and passion fruit. Tomatoes, lettuce, and strawberries are also grown. As a guest, you’re welcome to pick whatever is ripe during seasons when I’m not staying at the house myself. In the photo, you can see me beneath my orange tree, which has been here for many years before me. In spring, it’s covered in fragrant white blossoms, and in winter it glows with its sweet, orange fruit.
If you’re a group of four who want to stay together but also have the option to split up at times—such as two couples, a family with older children, or adults traveling with elderly parents—I recommend renting the entire property. That way, you’ll have two comfortable bedrooms, your own kitchens, and the ability to spend time together whenever you like. You can move between the apartments through the laundry room or via a covered passage just outside the glass doors. Of course, it’s also perfectly fine to rent just one of the apartments.

This is the best season for hiking in the mountains!
Frigiliana is guaranteed to be calmer and cooler during this time. There are fewer tourists, so some restaurants may be closed, but the days are generally summery, and the sun stays up at least two hours longer than in Sweden. Flight tickets are often significantly cheaper. For stays longer than two weeks, a special offer can be arranged.
Write to me here and I’ll get back to you with more information about available dates!
During the summer season, rentals are managed through Casa Frigiliana
From early April to early September, I am in Sweden, and during this time you’ll be in contact with Mia and Stig at Casa Frigiliana. They are Danish and have had their office in the center of the village for many years. They are on-site and will help you get settled when you arrive. During this period, Casa Frigiliana’s prices and terms apply, and you will receive all the necessary information when you contact them:
