A word from the owners:
The apartment is privately owned and managed by Boz and Polly Cannon from England who now live locally in Frigiliana and are on hand to offer lots of help and advice to ensure you make the most of your time in Frigiliana and the region. This also allows us to provide a superior and much more personal service to all our guests than larger travel agents can. So that any problems you may have will be dealt with, by us personally and immediately. We take great pride in the fact that you entrust us with such a precious commodity as your holiday, and it is our personal goal to ensure that every possible comfort and amenity is provided during your stay. We lived in the apartment for our first three months in Spain and have added many personal touches and home comforts to it, so that is truly a home from home. And as the nights can be a bit chilly in the winter we use 13.5 Tog quilts and hot water bottles, and in the living room provide snugly blankets for when you are watching TV or reading.
