FUENTE LUZ COTTAGE

This is a lovely hand crafted villa with terraces and some of the best views around Frigiliana. Many walks from door.

Fuente Luz is a modern property built in a rustic style with its own private pool located near Frigiliana. Our first impressions of the property were , how spotlessly clean it was. Downstairs was an open plan kitchen, lounge, diner .The kitchen had all the equipment you would need, including oven & hob , coffee machine, toaster, microwave, plenty of crockery, cutlery, dishes, and an enormous fridge freezer. In the dining area, there was ample seating for four people and in the lounge a large comfy corner type settee where there was TV, DVD, stereo and Wi-Fi. There is also a pretty downstairs toilet. A nice touch was the welcome pack comprising of bread, butter, milk, pate, cold meats and a bottle of wine. Upstairs there were two bedrooms, a bathroom and a well needed air conditioning unit. There was also a hairdryer which was really useful. There was another toilet and a large walk-in shower located in the laundry room adjacent to the house, we used this shower everyday . In the laundry room was a washing machine, iron, ironing board, clothes airier, sink, chest of drawers, a small settee . A huge bbq area was between the house and the laundry room with plenty of work surface and seating. The pool and lounging area were superb and, once again, spotlessly clean. The pool and villa are very private and the views are spectacular . Frigiliana was a lovely town with plenty of superb restaurants to choose from. We have stayed in frigiliana before but this has to be the best and most private of all . Perfect for a relaxing holiday .

A perfect holiday! From our very first contact, Jose responded very promptly and helpfully. He met us in Frigiliana and led us the 10 minute drive to the villa, which was spotlessly clean and tidy and exactly matched the photos. All kitchen appliances were as new and in excellent working order. We planned to spend our first week relaxing around the pool so had stopped at a large supermarket on the way across from Malaga to stock up on food and drinks, so the large and very efficient fridge freezer were ideal for us. Jose had very kindly provided us with cold meats, pate, bread, milk and wine. Absolutely every aspect of the property was immaculately clean. The pool and terraces were gorgeous and offer lovely views across the valley (including Jose's own fields of mango and avocados). Despite high temperatures, around 30 - 35 degrees most days, being so close to the coast with a clear view of the sea at the mouth of the valley meant the air remained fresh and much less oppressive than we have experienced in villas a little further inland in past years. At night we used the wall-mounted air conditioning unit which kept both bedrooms comfortable. Throughout the day we found this villa definitely remained cooler than any other we have stayed in. The outdoor kitchen and dining area is great and we liked the BBQ too.The pool house is perfectly placed with a good, spacious shower and handy area to keep swimsuits, sun lotion etc. All outside areas are very well lit indeed and the first time you try out the pool lights, you are in for a treat!! The pool remained warm throughout the holiday (it was still warm at 02:00 in the morning) and the areas around the pool were beautifully tiled, not slippy at all and the outside shower was also lovely and warm. There is full sun from 08:30 - 21:00. The area is wonderfully quiet and relaxing, no through traffic passing the villa on these little tracks. Although narrow and a bit steep in places (only the last 5 minutes), the only other people using the lanes are other residents, if you do happen to meet a car coming the other way, there are plenty of passing places and nobody is driving over 25kmph along there so it wasn't a problem. We were delighted with Frigiliana (10mins drive) - plenty of little restaurants and bars offering good views and food, also small supermarkets which stay open until quite late and open on Sunday. We liked the seaside bustle of Nerja (15mins drive) which didn't seem to have been spoilt by too much modern development - we used the bigger Mercadona supermarket there. On the hottest day we escaped to the air conditioned shopping mall (located at the corner of A7 and Exit 272, signed Vélez-Málaga/Torre del Mar/Costa/Viñuela/Colmenar) called El Ingenio (highly recommend lunch at the little cafe/bar upstairs (opposite Burger King) for authentic and freshly prepared snacks) When Jose called back to clean the pool, he brought with him home grown grapes and avocados and even an extra umbrella and sunshade - he is a genuinely kind and friendly chap who will do his utmost to ensure you are happy. We had a wonderful holiday, comfortable, stress free, quiet and completely relaxing. We highly recommend this villa.

Fuente Luz is a modern property built in a rustic style with its own private pool located near Frigiliana. Our first impressions of the property were how spotlessly clean it was. Downstairs was an open plan kitchen, lounge, diner and the kitchen had all the equipment you would need, including coffee machine, toaster, microwave, plenty of crockery, cutlery, dishes, trays etc and a large fridge freezer. In the dining area, there was ample seating for four people and in the lounge a large corner type settee where there was TV, DVD, stereo and Wi-Fi. We spent very little time inside as the weather was so hot so cannot comment on how comfortable the seating area was but it looked just fine. There is also a downstairs toilet. A nice touch was the welcome pack comprising of bread, butter, milk, pate, cold meats and a bottle of wine. Upstairs there were two bedrooms, a bathroom and a well needed air conditioning unit. The bath had a shower attachment to the taps but there was no shower curtain or anywhere to support the showerhead so, in our opinion, could only be used as a bath. There was also a hairdryer which was really useful. There was another toilet and a walk-in shower located in the laundry room adjacent to the house. This in fact worked well for us but feel that it could be better explained in the advert as it reads like the walk-in shower is in the main house. In the laundry room was a washing machine, iron, ironing board, clothes airier, sink, chest of drawers, a small settee etc. There were plenty of laundry detergent and cleaning equipment, together with shampoo and shower gel etc. A huge bbq area was between the house and the laundry room with plenty of work surface and seating. The pool and lounging area were superb and, once again, spotlessly clean. The pool and cottage are very private and the view are splendid. Frigiliana was a lovely town with plenty of superb restaurants to choose from. We would thoroughly recommend this cottage for a relaxing a peaceful holiday. Thank you Jose Antonia and Loli.

Fuente Luz was a bit of a surprise. At first sight it seems quite old, but when you look close it is actually very modern, but styled to look like a traditional corjito. We were met by Jose who was very friendly and welcoming. He showed us round the cottage and explained much about Frigiliana. He also supplied us with fresh fruit, bread, pate, wine, water etc:. The cottage itself was very clean and had everything we needed. The pool was spotlessly clean and although unheated, warmed nicely as the sun shone on it all day. The cottage is very private although not isolated as there are other homes dotted around the valley but it was very quiet and peaceful. Frigiliana is very beautiful with many places to eat, we found Las Chinas to be our favourite. A walk around the steep narrow streets is well worth the effort...or take the little 'train' or horse buggy rides. If you're feeling active you can walk the river...in the river..from the town centre all the way to Nerja 26 Km away. All in all a lovely little cottage which is cleverly designed and never gets too warm inside, with all you need, including WIFI and HD TV, in a very pretty setting where the sun shines until late in the evening by the pool. Jose was charming and very friendly and prepared to help in any way. Loved it!!

My friends and I came here for Semana Santa holidays, we feel in love with the place the moment we set eyes on the view! Jose was lovely and helpful and even gave us avocados from his trees around the villa, he also let us pick some! We had a BBQ in the outside area nearly every night. It was sooooooooo relaxing we found it hard to leave to see the sights. It has all the amendments you need, sunbeds by the pool and a really comfy area to sit in the evening. The pool even has lights in it for night swimming!! It is great value for money!!! We are definitely coming back in september for the mango season (he also has mango trees!) I recommend it to everyone who wants a relaxing holiday where you feel like you are in the middle of the hills not surrounded by other houses! Thanks again!

We had a lovely vacation in Fuente Luz Cottage. Our kind host met us in Frigiliana and showed us the way. The house worked great with our two small children, being very well kept and having all the necessary facilities. The pool area sofas also provided a beautiful place to relax in the evening. Highly recommended.
