A word from the owners :
Villa Mimosa is privately owned by Paul and Christine Reynolds from England and is managed by our friends Boz and Polly Cannon also originally from England who now live locally in Frigiliana and who both speak excellent Spanish in case of any problems. This allows us to provide a superior and more personal service to our guests than larger agents can, so any problems can be dealt with quickly dealing with Boz and Polly direct, not via an elusive agent. We keep our guests informed of all local Fiestas, Events and Activities with all local magazines and papers. Our local area guide will ensure that you have all the information you need about the Villa and the area and its attractions no matter what kind of holiday you prefer. If all else fails, we are always only a phone call away. We take great pride in the fact that you entrust us with such a precious commodity as your holiday. It is our personal goal to ensure that every possible comfort and amenity is provided during your stay.
