Fabulous accommodation equipped with everything needed for a relaxed stay. Hosts Nick and Manu were very welcoming and available throughout the stay for tips and advice on the local area. The apartment had fabulous views of the sea and countryside, great outdoor seating areas, and a well maintained pool. Taxi’s readily available for trips to Frigiliana and Nerja but would recommend a hire car to collect shopping and explore the surrounding areas. Would highly recommend the Alhambra which is just over an hours drive away in Granada. We’d highly recommend and hope to visit again soon.

Best Hosts and views in Andalusia

We spent the last 12 nights of our month long trip of Andalusia. Our hosts Nick and Manou were extremely friendly, accommodating and shared their wealth of knowledge to assist us in navigating this stunning area of Spain. We have travelled extensively in Europe and this is the best place that we have ever stayed. Clean, attention to detail and an absolutely stunning view. We can’t say enough about this place, could’ve have stayed for a month.

We had a great relaxing time at the property and were made to feel at home right from the beginning of our stay.

We enjoyed a fantastic week here - Nick and Manou have carefully thought through every detail of the property, with each room well equipped and finished to a high standard, and were wonderfully friendly and helpful hosts. The pool and other outdoor areas were real highlights for our family, with stunning views of the coast and the mountains. We massively appreciated the air con too!

If you've got this far - book La Quinta for a relaxed, comfortable and memorable stay. We could not fault anything and this was by far the best appointed villa we have stayed in. Everything Nick and Manou have prepared was beyond expectations and provided us with the best service as hosts. The pool is exceptional, bedrooms were spotless and comfortable, kitchen had everything we needed and more and the view is to be seen to be believed.

Wonderful stay - highly recommended

We have stayed at some great rentals over the years and this was one of the best. Nick and Emmanuelle have thought of everything you could possibly need and provided it. Their communication from the start was great and we were made to feel very welcome. The accommodation is very comfortable and everything is of top quality. We would wake up to the stunning view everyday and think of how fortunate we are to enjoy such lovely surroundings and weather. (Yes even the weather in February and early March was great) The area has wonderful beaches, restaurants, hilltop towns, and Spanish cultural sites to explore. We had a great three weeks vacation, due in no small part to the lovely accommodation.

We could not have asked for a single thing to have been better. If you stay at this property, you will have the best time. We have stayed at VRBO's in Europe and North America, and this was the best experience we've had. The accommodation and hillside location with spectacular mediterranean views make it hard to beat. They have put a lot of thought into the details to ensure it feels like home. The hosts greeted us on arrival and made us feel so welcomed throughout our stay. They answered all our questions and provided great recommendations for sites to see, restaurants, parking etc. They hosted us for dinner one evening and that was one of the most memorable experiences on our trip. We cannot recommend this property and these warm exceptional hosts enough.

Absolute perfection! We stayed at La Quinta for 6 wonderful days during our half-term holiday at the end of May - myself and my two sons aged 14 and 11. We had a fantastic time. La Quinta really is a lovely place - instantly relaxing and the perfect place to potter about and recharge the batteries. The view from the terrace is stunning - looking out over the mountains and out to sea. The outdoor space is superb with a lovely shady outside dining area, beautiful gardens and a wonderful private pool. The apartment is spacious and very comfortable, with everything you need for a very relaxing stay. There is a lot to do in the area - if you can tear yourself away from the delightful environs of La Quinta! We all enjoyed ourselves immensely and my sons have said many times what a great holiday it was. Thank you, Nick and Manou, for your very warm welcome and hospitality, and for creating this magical place. We hope to return!

Sneaky week away

The hosts made you feel comfortable from the first communication and when we arrived they did not disappoint. The property is beautiful and excellently maintained, with essentials in the fridge so we did not need to go to the supermarket as we arrived. Nick and Manou were there to welcome us and show us around the property which they are clearly passionate about ensuring your stay is perfect. Whilst they live on sight we never saw or heard them as they are very mindful of your privacy. They provided lots of useful information before we arrived and there was a great manual in the property which covered everything you could think of. Whilst the accommodation is excellent and extremely comfortable, it was our hosts that made our holiday. Thank you Nick and Manou for a couple of great evenings and we look forward to seeing you both again.

Perfect relaxing stay with stunning views

We have just spent the most idyllic week at La Quinta. From booking to throughout our stay the communication from Nick and Manou was fantastic, they gave us really clear directions to the property, met us on arrival for a tour and were available throughout on whatsapp for lots of helpful recommendations and information. They could not have been more welcoming. The property was equipped with everything we could possibly have needed or wanted. The wine in the fridge on arrival and the cool box for the beach were particularly appreciated! The property was cool, spacious and spotlessly clean. We had complete privacy and so much outside space with beautiful views from the terrace and the pool. The journey from Malaga airport was very straightforward and the property was easy to find despite being away from the town. It was so peaceful and idyllic with Frigiliana being a 10 minute drive and the beaches/town of Nerja 20 minutes away. Frigiliana itself is so beautiful with so many excellent restaurants. We would absolutely love to return and would recommend La Quinta highly to other couples/friends wishing for a relaxing and peaceful holiday spot.

We have just returned from the most wonderful two weeks at La Quinta, Frigiliana, and it truly exceeded all our expectations. The villa is in a peaceful spot just five minutes from the town, the perfect balance of tranquillity and convenience. From the very first message, Nick and Manou were exceptional hosts — welcoming, attentive, and quick to respond if we needed anything. Their kindness and thoughtfulness shone through, yet they were never intrusive. Although their home is connected, the villa is completely private and self-contained, with its own entrance, every modern comfort, and a stunning pool, so your holiday really does feel entirely your own.La Quinta itself is everything you could wish for. Spacious, spotless, and beautifully decorated, it combines rustic Andalusian charm with modern comforts. The kitchen is so well equipped that cooking felt easy and enjoyable, and evenings spent dining outside with the gas BBQ were a highlight. The bedrooms are cool and restful, and the whole villa feels like a true home from home.The views are breathtaking — across the valley and, on clear days, all the way to the sea. The pool was a joy: sparkling clean, sunlit throughout the day, with shade when needed. Surrounding it all are gardens designed and created by Nick and Manou, with mature olive trees, bonsai, and flowering plants adding to the beauty.La Quinta is more than just a villa — it’s a labour of love, cared for by two wonderful hosts. Thank you

Five star villa with an added personal touch

We knew we'd hit on somewhere special when we found La Quinta along a windy road in Frigliana. It's the sort of place you've always fantasised about staying in - a stylish, sun-baked villa on the side of a mountain leading to a shady plunge pool flanked with lime and olive trees. Sounds to good to be true, right? But it's not! Owners Nick and Manu have clearly gone the extra mile to make La Quinta feel really special. The interior is decorated straight from the pages of Ideal Home and stocked with everything you might need to cook a gourmet five-course meal. And the local area has some excellent restaurants tucked away (ask Nick for help finding them), as well as beautiful Frigliana itself for views, bars and fine dining. We travelled with our 6-month-old baby and our hosts pulled out all the stops to make sure we had everything we needed, from cots and high chairs to milk, eggs and cava. They are a great couple who won't intrude on your holiday but will make sure you have the best time suited to your tastes. We'll definitely be going back.

Warm welcome in a beautiful setting

Nestled in hills outsideFrigiliana, Spain, La Quinta Guest House emerges as a serene oasis, a delightful retreat that marries the charm of rustic living with modern comfort. From the moment you set foot in La Quinta, you are enveloped in a sense of warm hospitality, a testament to the gracious and friendly hosts who ensure your stay is not just a visit, but a memorable experience. As you step into your apartment, you're greeted by an ambiance that feels warm and inviting. The hosts, with their impeccable attention to detail, have thoughtfully stocked the apartment with an array of supplies, ensuring that your first day in this paradise is as carefree as the breeze that dances through the gardens. Speaking of gardens, La Quinta's are a sight to behold. The hosts' collection of bonsai plants feels like a journey through an enchanted landscape. But perhaps the most captivating aspect of La Quinta is its view. Whether you're basking in the morning sun with a cup of coffee or unwinding in the cool evening air, the vista from La Quinta is nothing short of breathtaking. The panoramic views of the surrounding hills with the sea in the background are a constant reminder of the natural beauty and many hiking trails that Frigiliana has to offer. La Quinta is more than just a guest house; it's a haven where the stresses of the outside world melt away.

Idyllic, perfect, serene.

Let’s start with the negatives - there are none. This property comes with literally everything you need. From seasoning to straw hats, from pasta to privacy. It is a stunning home from home with the most breathtaking of views. Nestled in the hills above Frigiliana, La Quinta is pure sanctuary, hosted by the most wonderful couple who are incredibly generous with their time and attentiveness. From the booking process to ongoing communication and directions to La Quinta, our journey went as smoothly as could be, even with our late inbound flight, both Nick and Mannou were there to meet and greet us in the early hours. They even did some shopping for us so that we didn’t have to run to the shops, not that we’d have needed to; all the essentials were already there. La Quinta is a stunning Spanish Villa, almost Finca like, in a gated and quiet area. Parking is easy and safe as is getting unloaded and settled in. The swimming pool is fantastic, there is a BBQ, air conditioning, laundry facilities and a kitchen laden with every utensil possible. Both bedrooms are next to a bathroom/shower room each, one of which also has a bath tub. The lounge area is so comfortable with TV and all the channels you need in every language. We fell in love with La Quinta, and with its perfect hosts and we will be returning regularly, even out of season.
