High on a ridge above the coast of Nerja, this fantastic holiday cottage with 2 bedrooms lies in a quiet, secluded spot. There is a beautiful panoramic view of the Mediterranean and the expanse of verdant coastline below from both the terrace and the swimming pool of Frigiliana holiday villa Cortijo Atalaya. 

The villa is on the border of the Sierra Almijara Nature Reserve with its vast pine forest where walking paths and mountain-biking trails extend northwards. The nearest village, Frigiliana, is easy accessible by car.

Cortijo Atalaya is a completely enclosed Finca, accessed by a gate underneath the house with parking for up to 2 cars.  The entrance is above the parking on the large upper terrace. The fantastic view from here is unforgettable. This terrace is equipped with a beautiful iron table and chairs. 
The pool lies above the villa. The pool terrace comprises an absolutely perfect 6.0 metre long pool with sun loungers and an external shower. Between house and pool there is a stone gazebo which contains a barbeque and sink.

The entrance of  the rental villa leads into a spacious living room. On the left is an open plan kitchen built with much attention to detail. This is very well equipped with a modern 4 ring hob and small electric oven. The living room has a comfortable seating area with satellite TV next to a glass fronted fireplace and a separate dining area next to the kitchen.

To the rear of the holiday villa there are the 2 bedrooms. These rooms are very cosy as well as imaginative. Between the two bedroom is the bathroom with shower. The beds are 1.9 m long and 1.35 or 0.90 metre wide. 

All the windows of the house are secured with iron bars. The washing machine and a hand washing basin are located in a shed beside the parking.

The entire grounds as well as the villa are exceptionally well maintained. The garden has a wide variety of plants from all over Europe and some very colourful subtropical plants. It is the perfect place for a stylish vacation in one of the most interesting and unspoilt areas of the Costa del Sol.
 
The nearest place (10 minutes drive) is Frigiliana. From there it is a further 10 minutes drive to Nerja, which offers sandy beaches, shops and supermarkets. The new motorway at Nerja connects to the rest of Andalucia. Granada and the skiing resort of the Sierra Nevada is about a one hour drive. Malaga Airport is an hour away. Between Nerja and Almuñecar there is a natural park with various bays and the most beautiful beaches of the Costa del Sol, 15 to 20 minutes by car from Cortijo Atalaya.
