Hotel Rural Almazara.
A larger, more traditional rural hotel above Frigiliana — sea-view balconies, swimming pool, on-site restaurant, and free parking. Best for families and anyone wanting more facilities than a small boutique.
What it’s like
Hotel Rural Almazara sits in the countryside above Frigiliana, in the foothills with sweeping views over the Axarquía and out to the Mediterranean. It’s a traditionally-styled rural hotel rather than a stylised boutique — comfortable, generous, family-feeling.
Defining features are the sea-view balconies, the plentiful breakfasts, friendly staff, and the spacious feel of the rooms. The on-site restaurant does traditional Andalusian cooking well. Free parking is a bonus unusual for properties in or close to the old town.
Who it suits
- Families who want space, parking, and a swimming pool — easier with kids than the small old-town boutiques.
- Drivers — easy access, free on-site parking, and a base for exploring the surrounding region.
- Travellers wanting a simpler, more traditional stay rather than design-led boutique.
- Mid-range budgets — generally cheaper than the smaller boutique options for similar facilities.
Things to know
- Above the village, not in it — a 5–10 minute walk down to old-town restaurants, or a short drive.
- Larger than most Frigiliana hotels — feels more "rural hotel" than "private home", which suits some travellers and not others.
- Well-suited to short-break stays as well as longer holidays.
- Open year-round.
How to book
Available through Booking.com, TripAdvisor, Expedia, Hotels.com and the rest of the major platforms — comparison-shop. Direct booking via the property’s own website (where available) sometimes saves a few percent.
For July–August, book 2–3 months ahead to secure a sea-view room. Off-season can usually be booked the week before.
