About this property
Villa Larelai enjoys the most wonderful views over the mountains from its hilltop, countryside location. Villa Larelei is located between the coastal hot-spot of Nerja and the beautiful village of Frigiliana. With 3 bedrooms, the villa is ideal for a family.
Nerja is a popular destination on the beautiful Andalucian coastline. It is very attractive and thankfully has not been overtaken by high-rises. It has a dramatic backdrop of the Sierra de Tejeda mountains, stunning beaches and captivating coves, delicious gastronomic offerings at the many restaurants and a great nightlife if you are looking to party into the early hours. With an idyllic climate, visitors return to Nerja again and again.
Frigiliana is 6km north of Nerja, sitting high on a mountain ridge. Villages do not come much more picturesque than Frigiliana on the Costa del Sol. This exceptionally pretty whitewashed village is one of a kind. It is a maze of cobbled streets and colourful plant pots brimming with bougainvillaea, jasmine and lavender.
You will have a fabulous feeling of seclusion and privacy at the villa. The outdoor space is incredibly spacious with a lovely pool that will no doubt be played in for hours! It is so relaxing to laze in the 9m x 4m pool or one of the sun loungers looking at the lovely views all around. There is a barbecue area so that you can enjoy alfresco dinners and also there is a boules court for family entertainment.
The villa is on one floor and has a fully fitted kitchen, living room with TV and DVD as well as Wi-Fi, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The double bedroom has an ensuite bathroom, and the others have twin beds and share another bathroom. This is a comfortable, traditional villa. With the outside space and views, you are likely to spend most of your time outside.
Villa Larelai is in a wonderful countryside location, close to lovely towns and villages and the beaches yet it has the most amazing mountain views and a feeling of seclusion and peace. It is important to have a car here. It is 3.3km to Nerja, 2.5km to the nearest large supermarket and 1.8km to a bar and restaurant.
Frigiliana is important from a historical viewpoint. The hill that climbs above the village, El Fuerte, was the scene of the defeat of the Moors of La Axarquia. Frigiliana is best explored by foot. The small plazas have some wonderful village bars which are popular for a wine tasting of the locally produced wines. There are some excellent shops selling pottery and ceramics.
El Acebuchal is a 17th-century hamlet within the unspoilt mountains and natural park of Sierra Tejeda, Almijara and Alhama. It is worlds away from the busy Nerja. For some time it was known as ‘The Lost Village’ or the ‘Village of Ghosts’ when it fell into disrepair but now it is utterly charming. The houses, chapel, tavern and cobbled streets have returned to what they once were.
Although incredibly popular, Nerja has kept its traditional charm, with whitewashed houses and narrow streets but it has many modern amenities and much entertainment on offer. Nerja sits at the mouth of the Chillar River where you can take some fabulous hikes. You can also hike on the Sierra de Tejada and in the Almijarra Natural Park. El Cielo is the highest coastal mountain in the area at 1508m where you will enjoy phenomenal views of all the way from Almunecar to Malaga, as well as the major summits of the Sierra de Tejeda and the North African coastline.
There are 12 splendid golden sandy beaches within the provincial boundaries of Nerja. The area between Maro and La Herradura is a protected natural park. Most of the watersports are found on Burriana Beach. You can take an amazing sea kayaking trip from Burriana beach to Maro passing through some spectacular scenery along the way. The Nerja Diving Centre is halfway along the beach. It is a 5 star padi instructor centre offering starter padi courses, professional courses, night dives and equipment rental as well as snorkelling trips. Parasailing Nerja offers banana boat rides, jet-ski rental as well as parasailing.
Nerja is famous for its fabulous Balcon de Europa. It is so lovely to take a stroll along the promenade and enjoy the panoramic views. It is the focal point for the town’s activities.
