Luxuriöses privates Landhaus mit erhitztem Teich und wunderbaren Blicken

A delightful, three bedroom luxury family holiday villa with a private heated pool, in a quiet, secluded position at the very top of Monte de los Almendros in Salobrena on the Costa Tropical de Granada in Southern Spain.

This luxury family holiday villa is situated high up on Monte de los Almendros (Mountain of the Almonds) at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, overlooking the old town of Salobrena and its 10th. Century Moorish Castle in the Costa Tropical area of the Costa del Sol in Southern Spain. There are wonderful views to Salobrena Castle with the Mediterranean Sea and the beaches of Salobrena in the background. There is secure parking for two cars, and the secluded garden, private pool area and terraces are totally protected from the prevailing south-westerly winds, so the property is perfect for a warm holiday getaway from the Northern European winter, as well as the perfect spot for a Summer vacation.
Situated between Almunecar and Motril, and about an hour's drive from Malaga airport, Salobrena still maintains its Spanish roots and traditions. Spain's 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 lovely villa.

This three bedroom, two bathroom villa is situated near the top of Monte de los Almendros overlooking the old town of Salobrena, the mountains of the Sierra Nevada, and the Mediterranean. The views are absolutely stunning, and peace and quiet are a certainty owing to the secluded position of the villa, and its situation at the end of a cul-de-sac.
Inside there is a large well-equipped modern kitchen (brand new in March 2009) with "soft-close" drawers and cupboards, with all the fixtures and fittings that you would expect, including Silestone worktops, self-cleaning pyrolitic electric oven, electric induction hob, plate warmer, large fridge/freezer, wine cooler, coffee maker, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, iron and ironing board, and all the necessary utensils, crockery, pots and pans etc. There is also a special tap dispensing filtered drinking water, so there is no need to transport large, heavy bottles of drinking water from the supermarket to the villa. There are patio doors leading to a balcony with steps down to the pool and barbeque area. At the end of the kitchen there is a large picture window overlooking the heated pool.
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.
Broadband WiFi access is provided at no extra charge. A telephone is also provided and local calls (to other 958 prefix numbers, such as local restaurants) are free. All other calls will be charged at cost and the total deducted from your security deposit before it is returned to you. Our managing agent will call Telefonica on the day of your departure to find out what calls have been made.
The double-aspect master bedroom faces in the same direction as the lounge/diner, and so has similar spectacular views over Salobrena and the Mediterranean, but also includes views of the Sierra Nevada mountains. It overlooks the breakfast terrace and has its own en-suite shower room (retiled and completely refitted in March 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 (retiled and completely refitted in 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 off-road secure parking space for two cars and extra room, if required, in the adjacent area at the end of the cul-de-sac just outside the property.
* The heated pool is surrounded by lawn and garden, is totally secluded, and there are chairs and loungers for six people. For all rentals, the heated pool has an oil-fired heating system with a thermal cover. The oil used will be charged at cost, and if used sensibly and in conjunction with the cover, should not exceed 70 pounds per week, even in the Winter. It is most unlikely that the pool heater will be required for lets from June to September.
There is an Outdoor Chef 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. (It may cost you a beer or two though!). Any Additional Charges for electricity or oil will be deducted from your security deposit before it is returned to you. Please refer to the "Terms of Use" page on our own website for a more detailed explanation.
