Up until now, all the locations that we’ve featured on our Property Spotlight series have been in England, Scotland or Wales. Today, we’re going a bit further afield and taking you to Frigiliana in Southern Spain.
Frigiliana is located just over 30 miles from Málaga airport. Flights from the UK (inc. Heathrow, Gatwick, Birmingham, Manchester and Glasgow) are cheap and frequent and take between 2½ and 3½ hours depending on the airport from which you fly.
I love the idea of having a tiny studio bolthole to get away to for a few days. This one has a stunning outlook and is in a really hidden spot. It’s currently under construction, so the buyer will be purchasing it ‘off plan’, so to speak. This means that they’d have their own choice of tiles, paint colours, fixtures & fittings etc from the outset. However, from my not terribly thorough online research, I’ve quickly discovered that the permitted usage of such an “Apero de Labranza” as a dwelling is nebulous to say the least… so buyer beware on this possibly ‘too cheap to be true’ option.
Property #2 is another type of Spanish dwelling – a cortijo – which is a traditional rural ‘farmhouse’ type building. I love the rustic feel with its rough walls and beamed ceilings, but it has a lovely little swimming pool… more of a plunge pool… perfect for those hot Spanish summer days!
The third property is a luxury villa with all the mod-cons a holidaying family (or families… plural) could need. Ample bedrooms & bathrooms, huge kitchen, gym, large pool, terrace and built-in bar… all topped off with great views of the mountains and sea!
