Villa "Las Alturas" is situated high up on Monte de los Almendros at the end of a cul-de-sac, overlooking the old town of Salobrena and its 10th. century Moorish Castle. Beyond the castle, there are views to the Mediterranean Sea and the beaches of Salobrena. There is secure parking for two cars, and the garden, pool area and terraces are totally secluded and protected from the prevailing south-westerly winds so the villa is perfect for a warm getaway from the Northern European winter.
Situated between Almunecar and Motril, and just over an hours drive from Malaga airport, Salobrena still maintains its Spanish roots and traditions. Spains most popular tourist attraction, the Alhambra in Granada, is less than forty-five minutes away, and the ski resorts of the Sierra Nevada, home to the 1996 FIS World Championships, are just over an hour away. In the winter months, skiing in the morning and relaxing around the heated pool in the afternoon is a realistic option when you stay at this villa.
WiFi Broadband internet access is supplied free of charge.
Inside there is a large well-equipped modern kitchen completely refitted in April 2009, with all the fittings that you would expect, including Silestone worktops, electric self cleaning oven, electric induction hob, large fridge/freezer, microwave, dishwasher and washing machine, and all the necessary utensils, crockery, pots and pans etc. A tap supplying filtered drinking water is provided in the kitchen, so there is no need to buy heavy bottles of water from the supermarket.
In the large lounge/diner, there is a dining table with seating for six together with ample comfortable sofas and chairs. There is satellite TV with all the free to air British Sky channels, a DVD player and a CD player (bring your own favourites). The lounge has access to the breakfast terrace via double doors, and the main window gives views to Salobrena, the Castle and the Mediterranean. There is a very efficient wood-burning fire in the lounge for Winter visitors in case Salobrena does not live up to its reputation as the warmest place on the Costa del Sol in the Winter. For Winter lets (October to April) we provide thermostatically controlled electric radiators and timer switches for all bedrooms and living rooms, and during this period only, electricity consumed will be charged at cost. For all other lets, electricity costs are included in the rental price. Logs are supplied free of charge throughout the Winter for use in the fire in the Lounge/Dining room.
The double-aspect master bedroom faces in the same direction as the lounge/diner, and so has similar spectacular views, but also includes views of the Sierra Nevada mountains. It overlooks the breakfast terrace and has its own en-suite shower room/wc, completely retiled and refitted in April 2009. This bedroom also benefits from an air-conditioning unit. All bedrooms have their own hair-dryer, and include all linens and towels. There is a weekly bed-linen and towel change for stays of more than one week, and there is free use of the washing machine. Weekly maid service is available locally at a small extra charge. Pool towels are provided, but are not to be taken outside the villa grounds.
The other two bedrooms share the family bathroom, also completely retiled and refitted in April 2009, and have views overlooking the Mediterranean garden to the Sierra Nevada mountains, and as they face predominantly North-East do not require air-conditioning. A Sony Playstation 2 is located in the third bedroom. (Please bring your own favourite software games).
There is ample secure parking space for two cars and extra room, if required, in the adjacent area at the end of the cul-de-sac.
The heated pool is surrounded by lawn and garden, and there are chairs and loungers for six people. For all lets, the swimming pool has an oil-fired heating system with an energy-efficient heat pump and thermal cover. The oil used will be charged at cost. There is an outside barbeque with all the necessary equipment. The breakfast terrace has a table and chairs and has absolutely wonderful views over Salobrena to the beach and the Mediterranean. The gardener and pool cleaner may appear at some time during your stay, but will be as unobtrusive as possible and may well be agreeable to setting a more convenient time with you.
Any Additional Charges for electricity, oil or telephone will be deducted from your security deposit before it is returned to you.
Please: In an effort to keep the villa in perfect condition for all our guests we ask that you do not bring pets, and refrain completely from smoking inside the villa.
