Fantastic short stay - book it - you wont regret it!
We had a lovely short stay at this wonderful property.Ahead of our stay we had great communications with Carmen and Alfonso provided great suppot during our stay.The house is lovely and kept immaculately clean. The kitchen has all required appliances and has lots of cutlery, plates, glasses etc etc.Outside there are lots of locations to sit, eat and relax.The pool area is lovely with a large dining table, a fridge, built in BBQ and sun loungers.The location while only a few minutes drive out of town is lovely and quiet with great views over the valley and down to the sea.Overall we had a lovely stay - even the power cut that the whole of Spain experienced was an adventure - it was lovely sitting in the candlelight enjoy a glass of wine!

What an amazing place!
Carmen and Alfonso are really nice people (thank you both!) and the villa is without a doubt, the best holiday home my wife and I have stayed in. Spotlessly clean and really well equipped. A great location only a stones throw from Frigiliana. Close enough to the coast for easy access but far enough away from the hustle and bustle to be really peaceful. We thought we would use the house as a base to explore Andalusia from but it’s such a great place that we spent most of our time there. We will be back!

A hidden gem
A beautiful cortijo/Villa just above the village of Frigiliana. Views of the sea and coast from the well maintained and landscaped gardens with numerous places to sit and relax and take in the views and the smell of the surrounding pine trees. We have stayed in numerous villas over the past twenty years in the Frigiliana area and this is one of the best.

Great secluded Villa, convenient location, with peaceful views
Villa Fuenta Santa was easy to find as you pass through the town of Frigiliana, just a further 5 minutes drive as we made our way up the bends of the hillside. Great communication via WhatsApp with Alfonso before we set off and throughout our stay.
Facilities are perfect for two or a small family. Beautifully appointed throughout, equipped and maintained both inside and out. Very clean, comfortable beds. Fragrant jasmine flowers were a lovely touch in the bedroom left by Carmen, also some fresh grapes from the vines by the pool left in the fridge as a nice welcome. The outdoor kitchen and bbq was also good, with a handy fridge for cold drinks and snacks ready instead of walking back up to the Villa. We spent many evenings on the main terrace with a view looking down the valley to the Med. Beautiful and well kept gardens with various fruit (fig) trees, cactus and pines giving great shade and a lovely tropical feel to the setting.
The Villa is very secluded up on the hill in a quiet valley, you can take a 5 minute drive back down into the town or walk down, however its a good 25 minute walk to the edge of town or 35/40 minutes to the ‘Plaza de las Tres Culturas’ and then you have a nice selection of bars/restaurants. A footpath has been constructed along the main road near the Villa making it safer to wander down. However the walk back up the hill is a little tasking, douable, but in the day/heat I’d avoid. We managed to walk down on a few evenings, there are local taxis but

Lovely stay at Fuenta Santa
Lovely secluded property, not overlooked and very peaceful. We enjoyed our stay here and very much liked the various outdoor areas which provided shade if needed. Beautiful well kept gardens with various fruit trees, cactus and pines. The cottage itself had a lovely homely feel, very clean and comfortable and well situated near the village of Frigiliana. Great communication with Alfonso and Carmen and check in went very smoothly.
All in all, a great stay and we would recommend this property to others.

Lovely villa, convenient location, amazing views
The villa was easy to find, with communication via WhatsApp before we set off and on the day we arrived.
The villa is in a quiet valley, not remote or isolated, very near Frigiliana and a short drive to Nerja and the most fabulous beaches.
The villa itself was perfect. Very clean, well equipped, comfortable beds and lots of fluffy towels. There were even fresh flowers in the bedroom. The kitchen is well equipped with plates, glasses and cooking utensils etc and the outdoor kitchen and bbq were great, there is a fridge which made days by the pool wonderful as we had cold drinks at our fingertips!
We made good use of the pool as it was very hot when we were there. The air con in the bedrooms was very very welcome. It made the nights cool and easy to sleep.
We spent many evenings on the terrace listening to the cicadas, gazing down the valley to the Med. You can even see the cruise ships away on the horizon.
The villa is so pretty, the trees give great shade and a lovely tropical feel to the setting.
It was a perfect holiday and we would love to return.

We had such a lovely stay at this property - when we arrived we were stunned at how beautiful the home and location are.
Communication for check-in was seamless and flexible, we communicated with Alejandro via Whatsapp and this made things nice and easy.
The property itself was so beautiful, nice and clean and well equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Both bedrooms and living room had a/c which was a real luxury.
The pool area was incredible and a real peaceful haven nestled into the amazing landscape. Really would recommend a stay here!

This stay marked a long awaited return to this amazing property and we cannot wait to go back! It is so beautifully appointed, equipped and maintained both inside and out, with great attention to detail. The flowers in the bedroom including fragrant jasmine were a lovely touch. Both Carmen and Alfonso were extremely considerate and welcoming. The village of Frigiliana is walkable and since our first visit, a footpath has been constructed along the main road making it safer to wander down to the pretty village to its many bars, restaurants and shops. I have to be honest, having visited the area before, we didn’t spend too much time away from the villa as we wanted to make the most of our stunning surroundings! Thank you again Carmen and Alfonso.

We very much enjoyed our stay in Carmen’s beautiful cottage. It is very well-equipped and hence extensive outdoors. It is a bit of a walk to the village - certainly on the way back (up) but the views are gorgeous. Carmen and Alfonso are wonderful hosts and easy to communicate with. Muchas gracias!

What a wonderful stay. Even better than the pictures. Carmen has made a wonderful oasis , perfect in every way. There are so many places to sit and take in the breath taking scenery. The villa itself just feels so relaxed and very tastefully decorated. It's was hard to drag ourselves away and found ourselves eating on one the many terraces for dinner or lunch most days !!! The swimming pool area was beautifully surrounded by plants and vines and pine trees and lovely a secluded. Great sundowner spot!. Can't say enough thanks to Carmen for creating such a wonderful place. I feel truly rested and refreshed after such a wonderful stay

The property far exceeded our wildest dreams. There was constant communication with Carmen and Alfonso regards arrival times. Alfonso was very helpful and provided GPS locations for supermarkets nearby so we could stop my on our way to the property for supplies. We spent pretty much the whole holiday in either the outside areas taking in the stunning views or in the swimming pool. As another guest put it, “ a little bit of paradise on earth”.

Prettiest house in paradise location!
The house Fuente Santa is just perfect if you are looking for a pretty and superb place, located in the pittoresque hills close to Frigiliana.
The house is compact but facilitates you with everything you need. And it has much more to offer: its interior is spot on and really tastefully decorated, its has an amazing private pool with Bbq area and on top of that treats you with stunning view! To have your breakfast on the terrace overlooking the peaceful valley and the sea behind Nerja was just a priceless experience! We felt as if we simply landed in paradise!
Both Carmen and Alfonso were great in communication and gave us so many tips and advise where to go and get around. While we stayed during Christmas and New Year, Carmen even left us some festive decoration. Also very kindly left us a bottle of Cava and the 12 grapes each, so we could really follow the spanish new years tradition at 12 o'clock. We will definately return to Fuenta Santa!
