La Bolina-unique romantic holiday experience, private infinity pool, huge views

Description: Built designed & decorated by a sculptor & painter, 'la Bolina' is a unique, romantic holiday experience. It is a semidetached house that has been carefully designed by the same owner to maximise privacy to both properties.
Every detail of the house has been treated as art, from the polished concrete, wood & pebble inlaid floors to the hand furbished stainless steel & glass shower. Much of the furniture & all of the sculpture & painting is made by the artists. The house is situated in the foothills of the Almijara mountains that form part of the Sierra Nevada range. It looks across the olive groves & vineyards to Frigiliana a whitewashed mountain village & Nerja on the Mediterranean coast. Malaga airport is less than an hour away, & the city of Granada is only 100 km from Nerja. There is an unusually shaped black infinity pool that takes in the 360º breath-taking views. A stone barbecue overlooks the private swimming pool & the ever changing outdoor contemporary sculpture.

For those guests interested in sharing their holiday experience with friends or family, the neighbouring house is "el Morusco" property 6725879.





Situation: la Bolina' sits in the steep foothills of the Almijara mountain nature reserve & between three villages, Torrox, Frigiliana & Nerja. The roads are windy & narrow, with magnificent views of both mountains & sea. Granada, offering the Alhambra Moorish Palace & the Sierra Nevada ski resort is an hour & a half drive away. Cordoba & Seville two hours. We are also close enough to Morocco to be able to spend a day in Tangiers.

Frigiliana: Frigiliana is a beautiful whitewashed mountain village 6 km. from the coastal town Nerja. The old town dates back to the Phoenicians, the narrow cobbled streets wind between white terraced Moorish houses. The village sits on the edge of a mountain reserve that boasts many wonderful walks. Both towns offer numerous restaurants, bars & other entertainments.


Winter: From October through April there is always a possibility of rain, but now the chance of it is so remote, that we have come to welcome it when it does. It is a perfect time of year for those who enjoy the mountains, walking or exploring the surrounding towns & cities. Granada’s Alhambra, Seville & Cordoba loose the unbearable heat of summer & you have the tourist areas basically to your selves. Christmas & New Year are normally sunny & all of the restaurants are open, although most work with reservation on the festive nights. The Spanish celebrate New Year on the street, it begins with spectacular firework displays in every city, town & village & festivity continues well into the next morning. Spring here begins in February with the almond blossom & yellow clover that line the roads. It’s a good time to visit the little villages around our area & in the Alpujarra mountains south of Granada. If you are into skiing, the Sierra Nevada is famous for its slopes & is less than 2 hours away.

Stunning location
We stayed in this beautiful house for five nights and we truly enjoyed the space, the view, the pool and the art works. This is a unique property and we felt privileged to be there. The morning light is beautiful and the view is spectacular.

Chilled out
Just what the doctor ordered. Peace quiet, total tranquility and a great pool to boot. The views were spectacular always changing as the sun moved over the 24hours. Sunset on the mountains was impressive. The host struck a real healthy balance of care and attention, pool maintenance, clean bedding for week 2, without being ever present,, lovely balance we thought. Excellent Villa and location

Absolutely incredible
Got to be the most stunning Villa I have ever stayed in , views are even better when there couldn’t stop looking! Comfy bed and nice shower, perfect for a little getaway from it all. Couple of things to know before going though, don’t leave anything on the side ants will find it and get in so make sure everything in the fridge! But once you know this there’s no problem with them 🙃 also don’t leave you bin bags outside as there’s a fox that will tear them up for you to clean in the morning. Wish we knew this before going but nevertheless would highly recommend to anyone! Thanks for an amazing stay!

Worth the wait!
Initially booked pre- pandemic and moved twice, our stay at La Bolina was definitely worth the wait. The accommodation was spotless and beautifully furnished, and had everything we needed for a short stay. The relaxing, peaceful environment and the perfect weather made for a very memorable break…. We shall definitely return.

Honeymoon week
my wife and I arrived very late in the evening having travelled from Northern Ireland and this wasn't a problem thanks to the lovely hosts. It would have been difficult to locate in the dark if it wasn't for the very helpful photographic arrival instructions. The week was incredible with such a breathtaking view every day we hardly wanted to leave!! When we did make a special effort to go out there were excellent activities nearby, lots of hiking (I recommend the rio chillar) and snorkeling not even mentioning the festival over in nearby village Frigiliana ( we had an excellent view of the fireworks from the pool!). All in all a fantastic stay, thank you so much Rob and Maggie. We will be back!

La Bolina is located in the country with an amazing view of the mountains, Frigiliana and the Sea
We enjoyed the unique character of the entire place including the location, the home itself and the wonderful view. Just getting to the place on the narrow, steep winding road is memorable. The owner provided good directions. Then the view is spectacular. Sitting out watching nature at different times of the day including the farmers on the hills nearby was interesting. The pool was great and relaxing to be in and sit near soaking in the surroundings. We would recommend this to those desiring to get out of town a bit, have privacy and see the real countryside of Spain.

A perfect setting; one of our best holidays
Getting to La Bolina requires negotiating steep uneven roads but we managed it in a Fiat 500. All you need is some confidence and common sense. Once you arrive you’ll find one of the most beautiful settings for two people. The house is a work of art, nicely designed and has everything you need. The grounds are divided into lots of different spaces that suit different moods and times of the day. The pool is big enough to swim a few strokes but to lie in it and gaze at the mountain views is just stunning. The mountain view changes by the hour and constantly captivates. The house and grounds are a work of art with lots of Rob and Maggies creations on show. There is another cottage backing onto Bolina, but the design is such that you’d never know. We felt totally private. But if you need anything our hosts house is just down the slope. There are lots of wonderful towns and villages to visit within a hours drive We tended to eat out in the day and stick to the villa at night. All in all, one of our best holidays. The food in the villages is amazing. We can’t wait to come back.
