About this property

Stunning 5BR Villa all with Sea Views 3 ensuite 17m Pool Btw Nerja & Frigiliana

Welcome to Villa Olivia (Reg – VTAR/MA/02) our private Spanish escape nestled between the charming towns of Nerja and Frigiliana on Spain’s Costa del Sol offering panoramic sea and mountain views.

Our villa offers 5 sea view bedrooms (3 with en suite), tranquility away from main road noise (rare in this area), privacy, and Mediterranean charm, all set in lush private grounds. The perfect blend of seclusion and convenience; you can enjoy total privacy while being just minutes away from everything you need.

Outdoor living at it's best -take a dip in the 17-meter salt water swimming pool, unwind on either sun-soaked or shaded terraces or dine alfresco with stunning mountain and sea views – there is a choice of 2 BBQs, gas on the covered terrace or traditional charcoal poolside, each with it's own dining area that can accommodate everyone. The villa is perfect for families, groups, or anyone seeking peace and comfort in an exclusive setting.

Whether you’re looking to unwind, entertain, or explore all that Andalucia has to offer, from here you can enjoy the spacious outdoor areas, modern comforts, and easy access to the best of the Costa del Sol.

Villa Olivia is just a 10-minute drive to the beaches, including the famous Burriana Beach in Nerja, perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and dining by the sea.

You’re also just a short drive (or an energetic walk!) from Frigiliana, one of Spain’s most beautiful, whitewashed villages, offering a relaxed, unhurried taste of local culture, charming streets, shops, and restaurants. Fit guests can walk there in around 30–40 minutes, enjoying scenic views along the way. And from December to April you are just 90 minutes from skiing / walking in the snow filled Sierra Nevadas

Villa Olivia has been updated to provide even more comfort and style (new photos to follow, some already uploaded):

• Air conditioning in all bedrooms for a cool and restful night’s sleep, no matter the season.
• Brand new sun loungers around the pool for a perfect day of relaxation in the sun / shade.
• An inviting daybed and comfortable sofa seating under the poolside cabana, perfect for lounging or enjoying meals in the shade.
• And for 2026; an outdoor hot tub, offering ultimate relaxation and stunning views. The perfect place to unwind after a day at the beach or exploring nearby towns.

Fantastic Villa

Spacious villa in elevated location, stunning views to sea and great sunsets. Fully equipped both inside and out, huge pool. Plenty of room for our 2 families with 4 teenage children. Bus connections to nearby towns of Nerja and Frigiliani (very picturesque). Would very much recommend.

Wonderful villa

We had a lovely stay in Villa Olivia. The villa was spacious and comfortable and suited our needs perfectly. The pool was a great size for us all, as was the balcony when we needed to escape the sun. Air conditioning would have been welcomed downstairs.

Wonderful villa

We had a fantastic holiday in Villa Olivia. The villa itself is amazing - very spacious inside, large swimming pool, well kept gardens, table tennis area, large shaded terrace for relaxing and outdoor meals, and of course the awesome views over the countryside and to the sea. Everything at the villa was clean and well-maintained. We enjoyed walking up to the picturesque village of Frigiliana for evening meals, and took the car for the short drive to visit Nerja and the nearby supermarkets. We can definitely recommend this villa and hopefully we’ll get the chance to return.

Lovely house in a lovely area.

We stayed in Oct 23. The villa is as described and pictured on VRBO and it was very clean and comfortable. The highlights are the external areas with great outdoor eating areas, pool (which although unheated was at a very comfortable temperature) and gardens. There have been comments that the downstairs bedrooms are not airconditioned but they were fine when we stayed. There is space for two cars to park off road but I do feel you do need a car here. Nerja and Frigiliana are both very close and very nice places to visit and eat - lively but not boisterous. We didn't have a bad meal in either place. Everybody in my group had an excellent stay and we were sad to leave. One tip: If you want to go to Granada and see the Alhambra book online well in advance (8 weeks to be safe). It books up and there are no longer any tickets available on the day despite what it says online. We missed it so will have to go again.

Villa Holiday in Beautiful Frigiliana

The property is ideal for a family. In our case we were five adults and four children. Being there in early August , with daily temperatures in the mid 30s meant the pool was a blessing, particularly for the children. The property is also blessed with a large well maintained garden, offering views down the valley to the sea. One improvement I would make is the addition of ac in the two downstairs bedrooms. During our stay the ceiling fans proved inadequate, though is suspect only in the hottest months of the year. Despite this minor inconvenience, I would happily return to Villa Olivia, and have already recommended the property and area to a number of friends. Lastly, I would like to thank Ian, the owner for his assistance and advice in making this a memorable holiday for us all.

Magical retreat

We were 2 families with 4 kids between us but they are all pretty grown up these days. The house was so perfect for us. Large open shared spaces and very generously sized bedrooms. The house is well equipped for large groups as well. We walked up to Frigiliana a few times (short but steep 2km walkl) which was lovely. And explored the beach and town side of Nerja. We did the kayaking trip one afternoon and it was a great experience. We found the notes from Ian invaluable. Over all a fantastic and much needed holiday. Thanks to Ian and family for sharing his beautiful villa. Anna

Great place to stay

We had a full house with myself my wife our adult children and their partners, everyone thought the property was amazing, plenty room for anyone who wanted a quiet time and large enough pool to have some great fun . The house was lovely and clean well maintained and very comfortable beds . I would recommend a car due to location however we managed to get the bus to Nerja each night for our evening meals Looking forward to going back soon

We're going to book again for next year

Despite arriving in a storm Villa Olivia lived up to expectations immediately, with beautiful gardens set in a quiet road. Once inside we found that it was spotlessly clean and well organised, making us feel at home. Having enjoyed many villa holidays over the years, with family and friends I would say that Villa Olivia distinguishes itself by its perfectly equipped kitchen, comfortable furniture, beautiful views and a great sized pool. We had a relaxing, fun holiday.

Great family holiday!

Lovely property, beautiful views, fantastic pool and a wonderful place for a family holiday! Frigiliana isa five minute drive for a beautiful historic town and Nerja just a ten minute drive for a great family seaside resort and lots going on. Could be slightly improved by adding air con to the two downstairs bedrooms.

Excellent villa & holiday. No hesitation in recommending this property to everyone.

Amazing views. Fantastic villa equipped with everything you could possibly need. Couldn't get the children/adults out of the pool. Everywhere spotlessly clean from outside terraces /pool area /bbq area/interior. Gardens were extremely well kept and maintained. All in all an exceptional villa & location. Hope to be back soon!!!!

Villa was bigger and much better than we expected. Pool was excellent as we're all the facilities. Felt like a home from home. Convenient location for both Frigliana and Nerja. Only negative would be lack of air con in 2 downstairs bedrooms, but it was very hot when we stayed.

About the host

Hosted by Michaela Lisle

Host profile image
Now retired, living in the New Forest in UK, we fell in love with the Nerja / Frigiliana area a couple of years ago and were lucky enough to purchase Villa Olivia in April 2025. We look forward to carrying on hosting guests and hope that they will continue to enjoy the beauty of the villa as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We love how all the visitors in the area respect the Spanish traditions and how the locals embrace and welcome them, Frigiliana is a stunning whitewashed village, known for its cobbled streets, Moorish architecture, and breathtaking views over the Mediterranean and the surrounding mountains. Nerja is known for its charming blend of traditional Spanish character and Mediterranean beauty. Its a mix of laid-back local life, international expats, and seasonal tourists, with plenty of tapas bars, seafood restaurants, and little shops to explore - generally more peaceful and less built-up than other Costa del Sol towns.

What makes this property unique

Perfectly located between Frigiliana and Nerja, staying in our villa offers the peace of the countryside whilst being conveniently close to all amenities, not to mention the spectacular views for watching both the sunrise and sunset. The shuttle bus that runs regularly between the two is less than a ten minute walk from the villa and costs just 1Euro 30 per person, always handy when you want to leave the car at home.
