Overview
Situated in the foothills of the Sierras de Tejada, Almijara and Alhama Natural Park, this charming villa enjoys a privileged position, with spectacular views across the valley and down to the nearby coast. Exclusive to Oliver's Travels, Casa Feliz has been beautifully finished both inside and out, offering the perfect place to enjoy sunny days with family and friends.
Surrounded by vibrant planting and swaying trees, Casa Feliz is completely secluded, with a delightful garden and multiple terraces where guests can relax undisturbed. Offering a traditional sense of grandeur, the villa is typically built in the Mediterranean style with terracotta tiled roofs and charming timber framed windows, whilst leafy vines climb up the warm stucco walls.
Bright and spacious, the interior has a feeling of elegance, with high ceilings and lovely timber floors running throughout. A large living room featuring a fireplace is decorated with classical furnishings, and two comfortable sofas invite you to sit and relax with a book. At one end of the room, tall windows bring in plenty of natural light and can be left open to enjoy a gentle breeze, whilst a central double doorway leads out to the garden beyond. To the side of the house, the modern kitchen is fitted with quality appliances, and a further set of doors gives access to a delightful side terrace where you can find a large outdoor dining table, perfect for sharing meals in the fresh air.
Set over one level, the main villa contains four comfortable bedrooms, each carefully furnished with its own style and character. A large suite features a four-poster bed, with tall windows that frame views out over the garden, whilst several smaller rooms take on a more traditional aesthetic with painted shuttered windows and beautifully upholstered furniture. All the bathrooms have been finished to a high quality, with spacious showers and smart fittings that ensure guests have an exceptional experience. Two further bedrooms can be found within a separate annexe, where they also enjoy a bathroom and neat kitchenette that makes a great option for guests looking for a bit of independence or additional privacy.
Stepping out of the living room, a split staircase offers a sense of grandeur, with rose beds and statues lining each side as you drop down to the delightful terrace below. Leafy plants and potted olive trees offer a natural setting, whilst an arrangement of sofas and armchairs invite you to sit comfortably in the shade. A further set of stairs leads to the lower garden, where a series of terraced patios are dotted with flowerbeds and pretty fountains, inviting guests to enjoy the peaceful setting and perhaps spend a moment of solitude or practice some early morning yoga. Sitting to one side, the pool welcomes you for a refreshing swim or relax in one of the stylish loungers positioned along its edge. Further seating can be found beneath a woven pergola, perfect for enjoying a glass of wine at the end of the day whilst admiring the wonderful views down to the coast. Sitting beneath a more classical pergola, with ornate columns and climbing grape wines, a second outdoor dining area is the ideal place for hosting events and entertaining guests. With a long table to accommodate 14 and a barbecue nearby, you can take advantage of the warm weather and enjoy fun summer nights in this wonderful setting.

Location
About the surrounding area of Casa FelizSituated between the towns of Frigiliana and Nerja, beside the Rio Higueron, Casa Feliz enjoys a peaceful setting whilst being just a short drive to the picturesque coves and white sand bays that dot the nearby coastline.
Hop in the car and head down to the charming town of Nerja, where you can wander around the village-like settlement. Explore its typically narrow streets of white-washed buildings and discover the 17th-century El Salvador Church or historic Hermitage with its lovely painted interior. There are plenty of bars and restaurants to stop for a bite to eat or walk along to the Balcon de Europa, where you can join locals and sip on a drink or share plates of tapas whilst soaking up the glorious smells and sounds that fill the lively street. Be sure to also visit the stunning Caves of Nerja, where visitors can marvel at this piece of natural history, where there is also an annual jazz festival!
There are plenty of beaches nearby, with the central Playa de Burriana just a short walk from the town centre. With a charming boardwalk and stretch of clean white sand, it is a popular spot for families. Spend a day beside the sea, soaking up the sun or hire a kayak and paddle out to explore the hidden waterfalls and narrow gorges that are tucked beyond the cliffs. There are several public amenities nearby, or for a plate of delicious fresh seafood, head to the longstanding Ayos, which has been running since 1969. Every day they prepare a traditional paella over a wood fire filling the area with inviting aromas, and you can sit and enjoy the typical dish whilst admiring the wonderful views out to sea.
For a quieter beach, Carabeillo is tucked just a few minutes around the cliffs, where you can enjoy the less crowded stretch of sand surrounded by wild vegetation. Alternatively, just along the coast, the beautiful Cala del Cañuelo offers a beautiful natural setting with dramatic rocky outcrops and sloping hills rising up behind. Situated in the Acantilados de Maro - Cerro Gordo Nature Reserve, it is perfect for escaping the crowds, taking a peaceful swim in the crystal clear waters or sharing a picnic on the sand. It is also a great spot for snorkelers, and you can discover the wide variety of corals and bright shoals of colourful fish swimming along the seabed.
Whilst there are plenty of hidden coves to discover along the coast, the region also boasts a wonderful landscape with the natural park covering 1,815 hectares, with breathtaking cliffs and forests of Aleppo pine and locust trees. Various trails invite you to take a gentle walk or head into the Sierra de Tejada, Almijara and Alhama Natural Park for a more challenging area and down to the sea below. The route starts in the same place as the Nerja Caves, so you can also stop off for a guided tour to discover the impressive rock formations and learn about the unique history and ancient cave paintings. And on the way back, be sure to stop off at the Acueducto del Aguila, where you can admire the impressive structure built during the height of the industrial revolution to ensure a steady water supply to the local sugar factory.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesCasa Feliz is ideal for kids who enjoy exploring, playing in nature, and enjoying different activities in the garden. The pool is suitable for kids, but children and babies/toddlers must be supervised at all times, and the property itself is fenced.
If you are looking to explore the more nuanced depths of this region, Cueva de Nerja is a perfect place to rekindle your sense of adventure as a family. These wondrous caves are located just a 15-minute drive from Frigiliana, and the astonishing landmark hosts a wide assortment of archaic structures that are all preserved behind vast glass cases. The tours are self-guided using a recorded tape that guests use during their time here. Once you emerge to the surface, guests can visit the Nerja Museum to continue their learning. This museum is free to enter, but tickets cost around €14 each to enter the caves
For more land-based activities, you’re located in the foothills of the Sierra Almijara National Park, a rugged mountainous region that straddles the border between Granada and Malaga and is a superb hiking area and an ideal spot for climbers. There is a total of 13 signposted paths in the park, one of which starts on the doorstep in Frigiliana and winds its way to the Nerja caves at the Fuente del Esparto. Ideal for an active family day out!
The nearby city of Malaga is also full of fun things to keep kids entertained! Kids will love this exciting city that has plenty to eat, see, and do. Not only are there lovely beaches, but Malaga is full of history and culture and has the Alcazaba and Gibralfaro Castle and various museums to wonder at and learn more about. There is also plenty of wonderful restaurants to grab a bite in and cool places for shopping located in the city. If you're looking to cool off under the Spanish sun, take a trip to the Aquamijas waterpark and let the kids roam free, and then check out the gorgeous villages of Mijas while you're there!

HIKING RETREAT
Upon request we offer guided mountain hikes in Andalucia with spectacular views all a perfect starting point for active experiences and better health.
THE HIKES
The hikes takes you to the beautiful mountains of Sierras de Tejeda, Almijara y Alhama, located in the province of Malaga / Granada. The Sierras de Tejeda, Almijara and Alhama Natural Park is a mountain group filled with mountain peaks, streams, rivers, beaches, trails and cart roads. From the coast of the Mediterranean, the mountains break up to the horizon with a spectacular array of peaks reaching up to 1500 meters above sea level. Here is lush nature with a unique plant kingdom. On many of the tours you can see the white medieval villages and the blue Mediterranean as far as the eye can see. The hikes take place in ancient historical landscapes and on these mountain paths and country roads people have throughout history brought fish from the coast to the fish market in Granada. The hillsides are covered with aromatic plants such as rosemary, thyme, oregano, sage, lemon thyme, mint and lavender, and there are great opportunities for us to meet mules, donkeys and goats on our way.
The hikes are suitable for those who are in good physical shape and enjoy an active and experiential holiday.
Please note that the hikes are subject to availability and must be requested in advance. Prices are on request.

An amazing holiday
Dear Ane Marie, You’ve been a great host! We had an amazing holiday and your house is just so beautiful!
Many thanks! -
We Loved It!!
Casa Feliz was a wonderful oasis of green gardens amidst the dry Spanish southern coast. The premise is quite breathtaking, with the views down the valley and the grand French style buildings overlooking the gardens. We especially enjoyed the large pool and the wonderful patios for having dinner together with the whole gang in the garden. We were 12 people all in all, and the accommodation, rooms and amenities were perfect for us. The recommendations by our host Ane Marie were excellent, from having massages at the villa to the great restaurants of the nearby village of Frigiliana, not to mention the chef that we got to make some dinners at the villa that were simply breathtaking with local cuisine and delights. I'd warmly recommend the villa, as well as the area of Nerja which is a lovely bit of Spain to explore.

Beautiful house and gardens!

Thank you!

Wonderful villa
This was a wonderful villa and gardens. However the garden was terraced and this made it unsafe for toddlers with many unprotected drops eg around the swimming pool.
-
Fabulous Vacations
We had a fabulous vacation at Casa Feliz.
The wine tasting was very enjoyable and I would recommend it to other guests staying. Irene and Jorge did a great job . It was really nice to taste wines from Spain and in particular the Andalusian wines . Irene’s presentation was very helpful.
The food , dinners and serving were superb. Great variety and flavours . Chef was fantastic! She really made our holiday.
So I would definitely recommend both the chef and the wine tasting to any guests who stay in future.
