Traditional Spanish home in the countryside overlooking the coast. Very peaceful and relaxing - we rarely went out - just lazed by the pool and barbecued on the terrace most evenings. Excellent for anyone looking to get away from it all!

We had a wonderful stay in the mountains of Frigiliana. The view and surrounding was spectacular. The house and garden was absolutely fantastic , beautiful garden and swimming pool, from where you have a great look on the mountains and sea. You can make really nice trips to nearby places such as Nerja, Torrox, Competa and also Malaga. A special thanks to the owners Esther and Jesus, who have given us a very friendly welcome and have always been very fast in replying any question we have.

Very private with beautiful view. Facilities were excellent and exactly as described. Quite remote on the mountainside, Perfect for quiet relaxing or venturing to Frigiliana , Nerja., and Torrez. We enjoyed our stay very much.

The place was fantastic for us , the pictures & video don’t do it justice , as soon as we arrived we both fell in love with it & had the best of stays , only 2 of us but the property had another bedroom that was also good. We met Esther twice during our stay & she was lovely, Bit scary on the road getting to it but well worth it, Les & Trish

Esther hat uns in Frigiliana getroffen und zur Finca begleitet. Esther ist sehr freundlich und angenehm. Die Finca liegt relativ weit in den Bergen und die Aussicht ist malerisch. Wir konnten super mit unserer Hündin in einer phantastischen Landschaft wandern. Uns hat es sehr gefallen.

We enjoyed our stay in 'el Cortijo Retama' very much. The house is traditional Andalusian and very cozy. You have everything you need at hand. We especially loved the terrace, the pool and the amazing view! The owners are very kind and the communication was easy. We would highly recommend this holiday house.

Esther & Jesus have created a beautiful and authentic cottage, in an amazing setting. Both the interior and exterior have been finished simply but with great taste and the feeling is of an authentic, rural, Andalusian home but with all the modern conveniences required for the modern world. We had a peaceful and relaxing week at the Finca, in late September. The weather was still great so were able to enjoy the pool, by day, and to sit out on the terrace in the evening, enjoying the view and a glass of the local wine. While the property is down a rural road, which twists up into the mountains, it is not remote and access to Frigiliana was only 10 minutes (by car) and a 20 minute drive to Nerja and the coast. Lots of good walking and cycling locally. We arrived quiet late (21.30 local time) but this was no issue for Esther and Jesus. Esther came to meet us, to guide us the last few miles to the property and to give us a tour and explain how everything worked. We didn't need anything during the week but they are local and willing to provide any assistance if and when needed. We would definitely recommend the villa to those who want to be "off the beaten track" but not too far from all the local area has to offer.

Tolles Haus, aber die Zufahrt ist schrecklich.
