Our fifth time staying in Frigiliana and second time at this apartment. We prefer coming out of season (the summers are just too hot for us). We've stayed here in October and March when it's hot enough to lounge in the sun, but not too hot to go walking (or even head out for an early morning run).
Frigiliana is a stunning village and the old town gets quite busy during the day, even out of season - so plenty of bars and restaurants open during the day, but not so many on an evening. In the summer it's much busier and lots of places stay open late into the night.
This apartment is located on the edge of the new town, so much quieter than in the old town, which is about 15 min walk away. The mountain views from the balcony are stunning and the balcony gets the sun from sunrise until about 3.00pm.
The apartment is slightly dated, but it's clean and incredibly well equipped. We tend to eat out at lunchtime and make something in the apartment on an evening and the kitchen has everything we need.
Drinks in the bars and restaurants are cheap (typically between 2 and 3 euros for a glass of wine or beer). Eating out is reasonable and supermarket prices are low. Eroski supermarket in the centre of the new town is less than 10 min walk from the apartment and provides most of what you'll need at decent prices. There's a Lidl on the way into Nerja that has a wider range of goods and is incredibly cheap.
Car parking in Frigiliana is generally tricky (particularly in the old town) but we generally managed to get a space close to this apartment. It's only during the day on weekends that we struggled.
We've really loved staying here, hence our return visit - and I'm sure we'll be back again!
