We are pleased to connect our guests to a range of wellness solutions (at cost) at or easily accessed from the villa. These include yoga, massage, private tennis sessions/lessons, cycling (road, mountain and electric bikes), hiking (including organised walks), gym and sports.

For those guests celebrating special occasions such as birthdays or anniversaries, we have helped to organise a private chef at the villa and live music with a fabulous singer. Previous guests have described these occasions as "magical”.

Las Mariquitas (see photo of Daily Mail article) is the perfect luxury holiday destination for families and groups offering wonderful fully-equipped accommodation with 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, a large heated pool, free WiFi and beautiful gardens. It sits in a magical elevated position with stunning scenery provided by the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the Mediterranean.

Las Maraquitas is only a 1.6km walk from the white Andalucian village of Frigiliana, regularly voted Spain’s prettiest village, and a 5-minute drive from the lively beach town of Nerja. There are many local attractions and amenities to enjoy including an extensive restaurant selection.

The villa offers a range of guest accommodation, 4 bedrooms in the Main villa, including a studio apartment with separate garden access, and a 2 bedroom apartment located with the pool.

A special feature of the property is its pool, possibly the largest in the area, and measuring 18m x 6m. The terrace surrounding the pool benefits from a gentle breeze on hot days and is well-equipped with sun loungers (12), parasols and outdoor shower. The pool house includes a bathroom, washing machine, dishwasher, kitchenette and towel store. This opens to a shaded veranda, adjoining the pool, with 12-seater dining and gas barbeque. An additional charge is required for pool heating and is not typically needed mid-June to mid-September.

The large landscaped garden has a striking variety of foliage including lawns, orchard and feature palms /trees. A gated in-out driveway has space for several cars along with a large portico. The villa, pool, and gardens have a very private nature and are not overlooked by the neighbouring properties.

On entering the property guests are greeted with a beautiful mountain and sea view. The large living room includes comfortable sofas / chez longe and 4K TV with international channels.

The spacious kitchen has a traditional large Spanish oven (electric and gas) with all mod cons provided such as fridge/freezer, drinks fridge, microwave, dishwasher, kettle and Nespresso coffee machine.

Difficult to fault. Very spacious accommodation in large gardens with super large pool. Bedroom and bathrooms well laid out to accommodate our mixed group of couples and singles. Very well equipped; never ran low on glasses, crockery or cutlery, which has often happened at previous rentals. The large pool was a real treat, as were all outdoor spaces with many seating/relaxing areas. Made full use of barbecue, pool table and ping pong. Spectacular views all around and easy access to Frigliana and Nerja made this a great choice for us. Would definitely return.

Our family of 11 had a great stay at the villa. We stayed here to celebrate my fathers 75th birthday. The kids loved the pool - the adults too :) - plenty of space for all of us: spacious and peaceful rooms and multiple dining options. The location is really quiet, but Frigliana and Nerja are only 5 minutes by car. Great hike from the house to Frigliana through the Rio Higuerion. Quick communication from the owner who was very thoughtful and cooperative! I highly recommend staying here

Wonderful in all ways! Photos and descriptions of the villa interior and exterior provide accurate information. Everything inside the house (and the pool) was very clean. What a brilliant idea to have two separate apartments in addition to the main house, on the property. This was perfect for our extended family gathering. Plenty of space for parking cars next to the house, inside the locked gate, was convenient and secure. We appreciated the comfortable seating inside the house, on the deck and around the pool. The wi-fi was great. Communication with owner Andrew, and on-site manager Oscar was fantastic. Large grocery store & fuel station are very close. Frigiliana, Nerja and Malaga are interesting, fun, clean places to explore and are our favorite towns in Spain.

We have just returned from an amazing family holiday in Andrews stunning Villa, Its situation nestled just below Frigilliana was very peaceful and relaxing and we enjoyed many evenings on the veranda watching the sun go down sipping some chilled vino blanco .I would recommend hiring a car for your stay or use the local bus service which is located just 2 mins from the villa as the walk into Frigilliana is rather steep .The swimming pool is truly amazing and it was in use everyday. A big thanks must go to Oscar the property manager who was really friendly and very helpful to us all week especially sorting out our grocery deliver on our first evening.

The villa Casa las Mariquitas is a truly fantastic villa for up to 12 people and in a superb location situated between Nerja and Frigiliana with superb views to the mountains and down to Nerja. The whole villa (3 bedrooms/2 bathrooms/living/ inside and outside dining/huge kitchen), garden appartment (bedroom/living/kitchenette/bathroom) and pool appartment (2 bedrooms/living/large shower room) are all beautifully presented and maintained and absolutely every item that you need has been thought of and provided to make your stay as seamless and enjoyable as possible. The highlight is undoubtedly the the magnificent pool (heated if required at additional cost) and the beautiful surrounding gardens and magnificent views. The villa has adequate parking for 3-4 cars, and although the road (Calle del Secadero) leading from the main road is mostly unmade, it is easily navigable for cars, mini buses and coaches (we had a 16 seater coach and a 32 seater coach on 4 occasions). I would also highly recommend the use of an outside catering company (recommended to us by the property manager) if only for 1 night, we had 4 different Paellas for different allergies and dietary requirements, the food was expertly prepared and the food absolutely delicious and at a reasonable cost. Overall, the holiday we had for 10 family members and 2 friends was one of the best we have had, made even more memorable due to this fantastic villa and its superb location, highly recommend.

High quality, spacious and very well equipped property in a stunning location. From booking process with Andrew to Oscar and the onsite team could not have been easier. Friendly, approachable and knowledgeable. Difficult yo see how it could have been better.

On arrival we were greeted by Oscar, very knowledgeable and on hand throughout our stay, incredibly helpful! Could not have asked for more. He even picked some lychees for us growing in the orchard..! We had a party of 12. Which this place easily accommodated - 7 adults and 5 children ranging from 3-13 years. Plenty of space for everyone. Lots to keep us entertained. We never felt on top of each family which comes in handy when naps and quiet time is required. The views are spectacular. The area is stunning and Frigiliana (5min drive) is lovely. Unless you are planning on just staying at the villa for the whole week. Would recommend a car, which we had. I did note a bus stop on the main road. Will consider using this the next time we visit for day trip to the beach. This was such a beautiful place. Lots of memories made here. Would come back in a heartbeat!! Thank you so much. Would highly recommend.

The vila was stunning. It was close to Frigiliana and a 10 minute drive to the beach in Nerja. We loved everything about the vila and our experience there. Oscar the property manager went out of his way to make our stay amazing. From telling us his favorite grocery stores to helping us find a doctor when one of our kids got sick, he was fantastic. We really appreciated all his help.
