The Villa Flamenca in beautiful Nerja
by A TripAdvisor Member
villa flameca is a well situated hotel. with a nice pool and mostly friendly and helpful staff. not all the rooms are of a good standard and we had to insist that they moved us from the first one we were allocated. unfortunately kettles are not provided in the rooms which means that every time you want a cuppa you have to go down to the bar. Villa Flamenca is very close to all amenities, and it has to be said that we found Nerja to be very charming and very reasonably priced. you really are spoilt for choice for places to eat, lots of lovely restaurants, tapas bars and the like should you get fed up with the half board at the hotel.The food at the hotel was quite nice on the whole with plenty of variety and their home made soups were delicious.especially the cauliflower . There are some very friendly cats which seem to be resident who like to come to your table and share a pot of tea . unfortunately the tea sold at the bar is very greeen in colour and not very nice to taste.although the shop across the road does sell tetleys. In summary not bad hotel but take your own kettle.
Great Hotel...shame about the food

I suppose you can't please everyone all the time but the Villa Flamenca does its best. A very pleasant and welcoming hotel where the staff do all they can to please you. The rooms are small and the bathrooms smaller but our original room, 221, around the back and with standing room for one only, was soon changed, with absolutely no fuss (thanks Michael), for a larger room with pool view and balcony where we reviewed the day over an evening drink as the sun went down.
Entertainment good. Pool area delightful BUT shame about the food. I know I am a fussy eater but there were some meals I just couldn't eat. The Gala dinner was better though. If they can do it on a Friday night why not the rest of the week?
Would I go back?....YES I think so. The atmosphere was great and there are plenty of restaurants in Nerja.
Very Nice Family Run Hotel

We have just returned from a 2 week holiday staying at the Villa Flamenca in Nerja. This is a lovely traditional spanish hotel, the buffet was more than enough and a varied vegetarian menu to choose from. What makes this hotel is the politeness and helpfulness from the staff who go out of their way to make your stay as welcoming as possible. The only let down is the dated rooms, tiny balconies and badly planned bathrooms you have to sit sideways on the toilet to get comfortable (many of the people who frequent this hotel are over 40) The pool is small but adequate with plenty of sunbeds and a nice garden area with beautiful fragrant Jasmines. The newer annexe has more updated rooms and a nice entertainment area.
Nerja is a lovely Spanish town with lots of tapas bars and a real traditional feel to it. However, there are 6 urbanisations planned in the locality so get there quick before it expands. Burriana Beach is definitely the best area. Try out the little cafe/bar next to the supermarket; beautiful crepes and beers served by Steve the Belgian owner who greets you with a welcoming smile and a genuine warmth. Nerja is also within distance of Malaga/Ronda/Granada/Gibralter etc, which makes it an excellent centre from which to take day trips. The lovely village of Frigiliana is well worth a visit. The wine they produce is excellent.
We booked through Thomson holidays part of the TUI group who were for the most part extremely efficient however, the coach from the airport was not allowed down the road 300 metres to the hotel to unload. This meant many of the visitors had to carry their suitcases down the road (no generous pavement here) to the hotel and back up on departure. Would you like your Granny and Grandad to be carrying heavy suitcases up and down the middle of the road?? another EU group from Germany refused to disembark and the tour bus had to go down the road and deliver them safely to the door (thus getting a fine in the process). I took note that on one occasion a pick up trailer was sent to collect luggage for our European cousins Hmmmmm!!! Also in the hotel a party of 16 insisted on sitting together - reserving two entire rows of tables thus creating a backlog of people queing to get into the dining area because the tables could not be occupied whilst they took their leisurely time. But the staff try and keep everyone happy and that is why people return to this particular hotel. For what we paid it was a very good holiday weather was fine for 95% of the time. Would we go back - definitely.
loved the resort, loved the hotel, shame about the gala dinner
by TripAdvisor Member winniethepooh
stayed for a week at end of june, normally go self-catering, found the food excellent both at breakfast and dinner, tea was disgusting though and as for the gala dinner, we thought it was going to be something special, it was no different to all the other nights, in fact, the meat dishes were very dry, a tapas type meal with salads would have been a better idea, especially as there is a flamenco show afterwards. Drinks are no dearer than down on the front, the snack bar is open from 12-3, but dont have a spanish omlette, they put chips in it!!, toasted sandwiches very good though, rooms are clean, a bit small, but how long are you in them?, entertainment is good, especially the guy who does wednesdays and saturdays, he also does the sangria and paella demo on a wed lunchtime, he does a really good rendition of hello by neil diamond and has you dancing round the pool to amarillo. Nerja is lovely, burriana beach is a 10 minute walk down the hill and a 20 min walk back up mount everest, yes its steep, but i walked back up it in one go every day, stop for drink at dancers, the people who own it are very friendly, beer is good and the food is excellent, the old town is a 20 minute walk away, very spanish, it comes alive in the evenning with all the restaurants open, shops stay open late and the balcon de europa has entertainers, painters on it, our favourite resort for a holiday so far, we,ll definitely return
Very friendly hotel
by A TripAdvisor Member
Situated in a very pretty part of Nerja only 15 mins walk from town and the beach by the Riu Monica Hotel. Food excellent, always very fresh and constantly being replenished. Staff are excellent and extrememly helpful. Our room was excellent, about 16' x 16' with plenty of cupboard and drawer space. A large bathroom 10' x 10' with a huge corner bath and shower, bidet, toilet and vanity unit with cupboards and drawers for toiletries. Sheets changed 3 times a week and towels every day. Pool area very good and bar prices very similar to prices in the town. An excellent hotel and extremely good value for money.
Been twice intend to go again
by A TripAdvisor Member
My wife and I have been to this hotel twice and it is beginning to feel they are part of the family as the staff are a constant, a good sign in my book, and we have met the same people we met first time around. The entertainment is good, especially Neil who does the Wednesday & Saturday nights. he never fails to please.
Whilst the rooms can be hit and miss we had a really goodsized room on the second visit with a large bathroom towards the front of the hotel in the new annexe. This part of the hotel gave us access to the roof terrace, which, clearly, no-one else knew about so we were able to get in some peaceful sun-bathing.
The food is good, apart from the desserts, and there is usually sufficient choice to satisfy all tastes.
We look forward to going again. We like Nerja and we like this hotel.
Very nice Hotel
by TripAdvisor Member Rokerender
Spent a week in the Villa Flamenco. A very nice,friendly hotel,with a good choice of excellent food.Some people were complaining about the size of the rooms,but we chose the annex(after doing some checking on this site prior to the holiday), and found the room to be excellent.
Not impressed with Nerja.
Spain Loved Nerja
by A TripAdvisor Member
When we arrived at this hotel it looked great very spanish after seeing our room i almost deid at the size of it you could not swing a cat the bath room the bath was baby size was a joke you could not sit a the loo without puting your feet in the bath i am not joking we were shown four more rooms all the same size so we stayed put.
The annexe rooms were a little bigger but not much.after unpacking we we went down a very very steep hill to the beach it is called heart attack hill if you carry a little wieght forget it most people walked down and got a taxi back five euros . there are no tv in the rooms you can hire one a con of the hotel the food was ok but always cold .
Nerja is a beautiful town it has plenty to see and there are some great walks, you must vist the caves well worth seven euros or twenty eight if you go with the reps we spent a week at this hotel i would not go back but would go to nerja again the staff at the hotel were not very frendly but who cares we were there for the sun and it was hot
great

We went to the hotel for a week and we throughly enjoyed it. The staff were very nice and the room was immaculate it was cleaned every day with new towels every day.There was entertainment every night but we didn`t see it because we were visiting friends i have in nerja,but we did go to the flamenco show it was very good. i would go back here without hesitation.
Great location near to beach and a short walk into town. Friendly staff.
by A TripAdvisor Member
Great location near the beach and a short walk into town. The staff were very friendly and spoke very good english but would take the time to encourage anyone who tried to speak spanish. Parking was easy in April/May but not sure about peak summer. The buffet had some good but mostly average food however there was lots of choice. Nice but small pool and garden area. If you get a good deal this place is great but if you pay the full price you might expect a little more.

Hi, there,
we ended up in Greater Manchester for two years now. The Landlord bought us out by selling the whole building. We were on two years more on the rental contract but he threatend us if we wont go now we would go without any compensation in two years. We would have lost the investment money for the traspaso. Never trust a chinese man. He was a real bastard. But anyway we are happy in England together and only planning for one year longer until be return to rural spain running a new business. return to us, want to know who you are.
Glyn and Trudy
