Villa Emilio Sol by Villa Plus, Frigiliana Overview
Villa Emilio Sol by Villa Plus is located in Frigiliana, Spain. Rated 6.7 out of 10 based on 3 guest reviews.
Villa Emilio Sol by Villa Plus is a private-villa stay in Frigiliana, Spain, set along Loma de Las Vacas (29788), where the pace is slower and the views are part of the appeal. This is a good fit for families and road-trip travelers who want space and flexibility, especially with children in mind thanks to baby safety gates. The villa’s air conditioning helps keep indoor temperatures comfortable, while free wired internet makes it easier to plan day trips or handle work on the go. Meals are practical here too, with a fully equipped kitchen that supports everything from quick breakfasts to longer dinners at home. When you want to stay in, the private pool and BBQ facilities give you an easy way to spend the afternoon without driving. For active downtime, there’s also an exercise/lap pool and a billiards or pool table for laid-back competition.
Guest feedback is mixed, with an overall rating of 6.7/10 from three reviews. Several travelers have pointed to the value of having a private setup and family-friendly touches, while others suggest the experience may not feel seamless for everyone, so it’s worth aligning expectations with a self-contained villa stay rather than a hotel-style service. If you’re visiting Frigiliana for its old-town atmosphere, the Church of San Antonio is about 6 km away, and the village center is similarly close. For a bigger day out, Nerja’s Balcón de Europa is roughly 16 km from the property, and the Nerja Caves are around 19 km, making this villa a practical base for exploring the coast and countryside.
Important information
This property does not accommodate bachelor(ette) or similar parties.
Should You Book Villa Emilio Sol by Villa Plus?
Worth considering if you want space and a family-friendly base in Frigiliana, but the very limited review sample (6.7/10 from 3 reviews) makes it a higher-risk choice. Book only if the villa setup and amenities match your needs, since the ratings aren’t strong enough to recommend confidently for everyone.
Best For
- Families traveling with children who value baby safety gates and room to spread out in a private-villa style stay
- Road-trip travelers who want free parking and flexibility, with offsite parking options and discounted rates mentioned
- Guests who prefer a quieter pace and scenic surroundings outside the busiest areas, using Frigiliana as a base for day trips
- Active leisure travelers who want an on-site exercise/lap pool plus indoor downtime options like a billiards/pool table
Not Ideal For
- Travelers who rely on consistently strong guest feedback, since the score is modest and based on only 3 reviews
- Guests expecting walkable access to Frigiliana Old Town and major sights, as the listed distances are 6 km to the old town and 16–19 km to Nerja attractions
- Light sleepers or anyone sensitive to late check-in logistics, since check-in is only available from 04:00 PM to 11:30 PM
What to Expect
