About this property

Luxury authentic cortijo, private pool, magnificent seaviews, wheelchairfriendly

Very charming and spacious 250 year old rustic farmstead, situated in quiet area with splendid sea view. It was fully restored 6 years ago and has very good access. 1 mile up the road from the lovely old Arabic white village of Frigiliana and 3 miles from the lively town of Nerja with its beautiful Burriana Beach. The house has 4 bedrooms of which one can be used for 4 persons. It has a swimming pool, 3 terraces and a lovely big (4000 sqm) garden with tropical trees. The house has good access and offers lots of privacy behind walls that guarantee privacy. In the near environment you can walk, bike, ride horses and there are several restaurants within walking distance. Since the former owner was disabled, the house is 90% wheelchair friendly. The total house has central heating and therefore is also very comfortable during winter time! You can find more detailed information and pictures at our personal website (also available in English).

Mooie omgeving

Heerlijk genoten. Super leuke cortijo en kwamen niks te kort. Veel ruimte, maar konden ook wel genieten van de omgeving..alleen was bij aankomst het zwembad niet schoon of in elk geval het onderhoud. Dit was verholpen na dit aangegeven te hebben. Je moet wel een auto hebben anders is het lastig

Zwischen Zeitreise und Paradies

Wir verbrachten 2 Wochen hier im April/Mai 2021. Anfänglich war es sehr kühl und teils regnerisch, daher wirkte alles etwas düster. Mit dem Feuer und der elektrischen Heizung konnten wir dann die nötige Wärme im Haus erzeugen. Ich fühlte mich, als hätte ich eine Zeitreise gemacht. Die Villa, welche 250-jährig ist und damals als Bauernhaus fungierte, hat noch heute den ursprünglichen Charme. Wer sich gerne in eine frühere Zeit versetzt und den Charme und Antiquitäten liebt, wird sein Herz hier verlieren. Nach ein paar Tagen kam auch die Sonne und das schöne Wetter, und die Villa, die Lage, die Aussicht, der Pool und die Ruhe hat uns den Atem geraubt. Genau hier konnten wir unsere Batterien aufladen und uns als Familie geniessen. Wir hatten eine traumhafte Zeit. Wir haben einfache Menüs Zuhause gekocht, Equipment war vorhanden aber manchmal gingen wir auch ins Restaurant. Seit der Corona Krise hat sich vieles hier verändert, daher haben wir die Villa noch ein bisschen mehr genossen. Wir haben trotzdem viele Ausflüge in Andalusien gemacht und sehr viel gesehen und erlebt. Alles in allem traumhaft, empfehlenswert und ein Geheimtipp wer was ganz besonderes sucht. Auch die Übernahme und Abgabe hat super geklappt. Kommunikation mit Eigentümer war Top. Sehr hilfsbereit, schnell mit antworten und zuverlässig. Vor Ort wurden wir ebenfalls gut betreut. Haben ein Herz voller Liebe und tollen Erinnerungen mit nach Hause genommen.

Very relaxing.

We enjoyed a week of vacation here. 3 generations, 2 children (1,5 and 5 years old) and 4 adults. The access to and from Malaga was easy in a rented car. The home fully lived up to our expectations and further beyond. The house was charming, the decor, the history and the surroundings, including the garden and the most tranqulinzing views over the valley and the sea. The house was perfect for just hanging out, spending time together and was also a nice base for trips to the caves in Nerja and Frigiliana. The communication with the owner worked out perfectly, and the written information he send prior to our arrival about the house and practical things was very handy. The house was well equipped, including kitchen facilities. We had some small requests, which were handled by contact to Anna and Antonio, who watches out for the house, doing cleaning and maintanance. Minor things on the down side were: imprecision in the location details on Homeaway.com. It did not look like there would be any neighbours close by, but there were. However, the place is very private. Antonio and a colleague met us at the house on the day of arrival. He introduced us to the house, which was nice. However, because he had been busy working at other vacation houses that day, he still had work to do in the garden later that evening, even though we had settled down for eating our dinner at appr. 6 o'clock that " evening". However, we acknowlegde that maintanance and cleaning takes time and hard work. All in all a wonderful and relaxing holiday. We would love to come back and have already recommended the place to others. Thank you

A beautiful property!

We are a family of 4 (kids aged 10 and 4 years old) and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this house. It is spacious and very clean. Although rustic this house is very well equipped with everything you could need. The air conditioning in the bedrooms is excellent and welcome on hot evenings. The pool and the surrounding area are fabulous. Very clean and well maintained. The views are spectacular and well worth the short journey up the hill. We had no problems at all and would love to return here sometime. We would highly recommend a stay here!

Ein wunderbarer Ort zur Entspannung!

Der gesamte Ablauf von Reservierung, über Ankunft und Abreise sehr unkompliziert. Es ist alles da, was man benötigt. Zur Anreise gab es die wichtigsten Dinge für den ersten Abend und das erste Frühstück. Eine wunderbare Idee! Das Haus hat eine tolle Lage mit phantastischem Ausblick. Wir konnten den Pool, die Terrasse und die Umgebung in vollem Umfang genießen.

Lovely well equipped traditional house with beautiful views but a long way from town

The house is as per the pictures shows. It is up in the hills behind Frigliana & on the edge of the National park. The house is v well equipped, has a well maintained pool & a lovely garden with a magnificent view. The host, Adrian, is v responsive and keen to help & the manager was great, taking us up to the property on our arrival at night. That was needed as the road up is v steep and twisty with a few hairpins. My main issue was that the house is nearly 5km (up a steep road) from Frigiliana (one of the pretty white towns in costa del sol) & not the 1 mile described in the website & about 11km from Nerja rather than the 3 miles in the describtion. So it is quite isolated though there are a couple of restaurants nearby & in the summer they are open later & of course it would be bright rather than dark & cold (one had no heating the day we went & was feezing). We would not have taken the place had the correct milage been given. We were unlucky with the weather initially & the house is v much a summer house as its large & a bit drafty, though it does have central heating. It is v lovely & prob is v cool in summer. Also the chimmney wasn't working v well & we had a house full of smoke the second time we lit the fire & so were unable to use it again which was a shame.

Entspannter Familienurlaub in fantastischer Lage

In diesem stilvollen Haus haben wir uns mit zwei Familien sehr wohl gefühlt. Alles ist liebevoll eingerichtet und bestens gepflegt. Wichtig ist, dass sich das untere separate Schlafzimmer außerhalb des Hauses befindet, also ideal für größere Kinder und Jugendliche ist, die die räumliche Trennung nicht fürchten oder gerne etwas Ruhe für sich haben. Der Blick ist einzigartig! Die Lage ist ideal, weil man spanische Kultur und Wanderungen in beeindruckender Natur mit einem Aufenthalt am Meer verbinden kann. Unsere Ausflugsziele Granada, Malaga, Höhlen und Strand von Nerja und natürlich Frigiliana waren sehr gut zu erreichen und die Semana santa ein großartiges Erlebnis! Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Toller Urlaub in sehr schöner Finca

Sehr schöne Unterkunft in fantastischer Lage! Wunderbarer Blick auf das Meer und die Umgebung, angenehme Nähe zu dem netten Dorf Frigiliana und zum Meer. Man kann direkt vom Haus aus zu Spaziergängen und Wanderungen aufbrechen. Im großzügigen Haus ist alles vorhanden, die Küchenutensilien könnten ein wenig aufgefrischet werden. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder.

Absolutely delightful

A fabulous property. Spacious, traditional with everything you could possibly need. Clean and comfortable with excellent outdoor and indoor space. We were 2 families of 4 and there was plenty of space for all of us. The view is exceptional, the pool an absolute bonus and of course not forgetting the lovely Antonio who is on hand to help whenever you need it. Will absolutely return again. Don't hesitate, just book it.

Wonderful house with excellent position and views

With our children and grandchildren we have had a fantastic holiday at Cortijo Almendros. The information leaflet of the owners (Janine & Adriaan) is perfect; in addition to information about the house they also give you information about the environment (such as walking and eating). For us as grandparents the separate cortijito was optimal: calm, cool and privacy. The house is comfortable, cozy and fully equipped; books for the elderly and games for the kids there were plenty. Practical was the Internet and Dutch TV on the tube. The administrator Antonio is very attentive and extremely helpful. In short, a real hit at Los Almendros!

One of our favourites!

We have been several times in Andalusia to explore and we have done this already three times from Los Almendros. It's a very special place. The house is a monument and has many character because of the thick walls and the old details like the fireplace, small windows, olive press and more. Everything is well maintained, the services of the owners and the local manager Antonio always perfect. The view is absolutely stunning, magic and you always can discover new things. There are lots of things to do in the environment and it's a perfect base to get to learn Andalusia and it's greatness better!

About the host

Hosted by Adrian Bredero

About 20 years ago we, my wife and I, travelled through Spain for the first time. Before I was more interested in France since I was brought up by a Francophile father. My wife had been studying in Malaga and wanted me to see the beauty of southern Spain. I was immediately impressed by the unspoilt beauty and the wild nature you can find almost everywhere. After a few holidays driving around all parts of this magnificent country, we were struck by the perfect balanced True Spanish Nerja area. What started off as the well known window watching of estate agents soon became more and more serious. We have seen hundreds of houses. My wife loved to buy some kind of front line penthouse where I preferred an old and remote cottage. In the end we found in this little paradise the best of both ways.

Why they chose this property

We bought this one of a kind house because my wife fell instantaneously in love with it. We had seen so many "not inspiring" houses that we realised that this was a once in a life time opportunity to become the owner of a piece of Spanish history. We have the intention to go and live here permanently in the future. It breezes the old Spanish atmosphere and is very luxurious without being too perfect or decadent. It's positioned in the second line from the beach. You can lay on the beach in 15 minutes and at the a same time you can immerse yourself in the peacefulness of the countryside. There is too much to be done. You can go for a walk in the mountains, go to the Sierra Nevada, visit the Alhambra, ride horse, go to the prehistoric caves of Nerja, enjoy a walk in prize winning Frigiliana.

What makes this property unique

The most surprising advantage is the combination the tranquility of a country house on one hand and the comfort of a see side house on the other hand. This is because of the short drive the Nerja beach and having at the same time the shepherds who are passing by our house every day. The beautiful sea views in front of you and overwhelming mountain views behind you are also hard to describe. Every single room is very spacious with high ceilings and has a private see sights for you every morning to wake up. You can be in an unspoilt historic Spanish Hacienda with at the same time the all the modern facilities for summer and winter. Around the house there is so much to discover. We know the area so we can arrange almost anything. We do recommend make a guided walk with our local guide.
