About this property

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.

Decoración preciosa, maravilloso entorno

Ruhe auf den Hügeln hinterm Meer
Sehr ruhig und schön gelegenes Anwesen in den Hügeln hinter Torrox. Das Haus ist sehr schön rustikal und künstlerisch eingerichtet. Alles etwas spartanisch, aber es ist alles notwendige vorhanden. Man muss den rustikalen Stil mögen, sonst könnte man hiervon enttäuscht sein. Der Außenbereich ist sehr schön und Ruhig, man ist hier wirklich für sich und hat keine Störenden Nachbarn. Der Pool war allerdings kleiner als es auf den Fotos aussieht. Was bei dem Anwesen wichtig zu erwähnen ist, was mir vorher so nicht bewusst war ist der Weg dorthin. Zwar dachte ich mir dass es etwas über einen Schotterweg gehen wird, aber die Realität sieht dann doch etwas anders aus… Man braucht gute 10 min vom Ende der normalen Straße bis zum Haus. Diese 10 min sind eine reine Buckelpiste, bestehend aus Schotterwegen, miserabel Straßenstücken oder teilweise einfach erdige Wege. Hier geht es am steilen Abhang vorbei, alles sehr eng, sehr kurvenreich und teilweise ohne ausweichmöglichkeiten. Bei Gegenverkehr kann es gut sein, dass man einmal ein ganzes Stück rückwärts bergauf oder bergab fahren muss, um irgendwie eine Stelle zum ausweichen zu finden. Alles ziemlich abenteuerlich…. Wem das alles nichts ausmacht, der hat mit diesem Anwesen ein paar ruhige Tage vor sich. Zusammengefasst, bis auf die abenteuerliche Anfahrt habe ich wenig auszusetzen, aber gerade darauf finde ich sollte man deutlicher aufmerksam gemacht werden

La Bolina = Ein Traum
Nachdem wir 2022 bereits eine Woche auf diesem wunderschönen Anwesen verbringen durften, haben wir 2023 jetzt noch mal knapp zwei Wochen dort verbracht. La Bolina ist eine Perle wie man sie so schnell kein zweites Mal findet. Rob, der Vater von Timsam ist ein wundervoller Gastgeber der bei Fragen oder Problemen sofort zur Stelle ist und einem hilft. Alles weitere kann man in unserer Bewertung auch 2022 lesen. Wir werden bestimmt ein weiteres Mal die Unterkunft buchen.
