Guest reviews

“Excellent family stay in this superb villa. We fully enjoyed the outdoor spaces, both for meals and for refreshing ourselves in the pool. The regular and discreet visits of the gardener, as well as the pool maintenance, were very much appreciated. The villa is very well equipped; everything is ready for a comfortable day. It is also ideally located for discovering and visiting the region. We will return with great pleasure!”

“Amazing location, so safe and family friendly, the villa and pool were amazing”

“Beautiful villa with everything you could need, set in stunning surroundings and within easy reach of Frigiliana and Nerja. The gardener kept the pool and garden area spotless throughout our stay. Walking into Frigiliana is uphill, and there are quite a few steps leading to the villa, so this is worth considering when booking. Local taxis were easy to arrange and cost around €10 each way into town. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend El Pocito.”

“Peaceful retreat.”

“Fabulous villa, well located. First rate furnishings nothing found wanting. Spacious terrace, very private. The pool was cleaned every few days and the villa was serviced at the end of the first week. Absolutely first rate.”

“El Pocito - Living in another era like in your favorite novel of times long past When we arrived at this traditional Andalusian home with white washed walls and the most beautiful patio in February, I was awed by its beauty, but it was freezing at night. My first thought was: Wouldnt it be nice, if we were allowed to light the lovely fireplaces in the living room upstairs and the large kitchen with dining area downstairs? But of course, this was not allowed anymore in this three hundred years old house. Still, it was lovely there, very special, and I felt like living in a novel of a time long past, when I saw all the little stairs inside the house leading up to a second entrance and the upstairs-WC with sink in the utility room with washing machine and down to the second bedroom in the back of the house. My own bedroom, the main bedroom, was level with the living room on the first floor. It was that room, where you could really see and enjoy the loving care the owner had taken, to keep the traditional charm of this house whilst adding large floor deep bay windows to one side, which allowed me a fantastic view over the Sea and the hilly green landscape. If you are the kind of person who enjoys a cup of coffee in bed whilst watching the sunrise over the Sea Go for it! The main bedroom and the living room are equipped with air condition, which in our case served as a heating in winter. As I didn't really feel like sleeping with a closed window and the air condition switched on all night, the owner brought me a very warm winter duvet, which was fantastic, and from that moment on I enjoyed a very good nights sleep. During the day the temperatures were between 15 and 20 degrees Celsius with an amazing blue sky all week long, so we spend most of the time outside on the lovely large patio with a very beautifully designed pool with Andalusian tiles like in the Alhambra. As this lovely patio is lined by a terrace garden to the right, there are also higher levels from where you have a fantastic Sea View, whist at the same time the view from everywhere into the blue sky and the green, hilly landscape is amazing. Frigiliana is a beautiful Pueblo Blanco with nice restaurants and stunning views over the hills and the Sea, and Nerja, only about six kilometers from the property, is a lovely town with lots of white houses with red roofs, beautiful beaches, lots of restaurants and cafes and the famous Balcón de Europa, where you have the most fantastic One with the Sea experience, as this great plaza is built right into or above the Sea. I love this place and am sure to come back here again and again. Here is my recommendation: In my view this lovely, traditional Andalusian Home with one full bathroom with a modern, large shower, a WC and a heated towel rack an additional WC without shower upstairs is highly recommendable in the warmer month from April to November for a family with one or two children, who can already swim and like to run around freely in this beautiful, large patio with its exciting secret passages, its lovely, very beautiful pool and this special air of freedom for the kids, whilst they are completely safe. As to go from the upstairs living and sleeping area downstairs into the large kitchen with dining area and added modern bathroom you always have to step outside, climb down the stairs to the patio and then enter the kitchen, you and your children will always have to path by the patio and can therefore enjoy a deep sense of freedom and living outdoor as much as indoors, which is seldom found in modern living. I know, if I were still a child, I would adore being able to be outside all day long without having to ask my parents for permission every time I leave the house.”
