Apartment Solbakken is situated in the historic old town of Salobrena on the Costa Tropical de Granada and has spectacular views over the Mediterranean Sea and the snowcapped Sierra Nevada mountains.
There are not many opportunities to rent an apartment in the old town of Salobrena with communal swimming pool included! The swimming pool is open between the beginning of June and end of September annually from 9 am to 9pm.
The apartment´s upper terrace has sunbathing and dining areas and there are sun umbrellas for shade. From the sitting room is the second terrace with views over the town and coastline. To relax on the terraces whether by daytime or at night with the lights of the town twinkling below is an unforgettable experience and an integral part of your stay here.
Apartment Solbakken is tucked away in a quiet residencial area a short walk from street parking. It is on the 3rd floor with no lift. The accommodation includes one double bedroom, one twin bedroom, fully fitted kitchen and large bathroom with bath/shower. The spacious sitting/dining room has satellite TV (free to air channels), DVD, CD player.
Although a car is recommended to get the most out of your holiday it is not essential. Buses run from Malaga, Granada, and Almeria to the bus station in Salobrena and a local bus service will take you up to the end of our street in the old town and down to the beach.
Salobrena is really two towns, the historic “casco antiguo” of traditional white houses and narrow streets winding up to the castle, and the new town of wider streets and shady boulevards below with all the bustle in summer of a lively Spanish holiday resort. It is a sizeable town and local centre with a life of its own independent of tourism so plenty of restaurants and bars stay open even out of season. There is a choice of at least four well stocked supermarkets for food and other basics.
A short stroll takes you to the Arab fort and original town square, museum and the church of Our Lady of the Rosary, built on the ruins of the mosque. A wider choice of restaurants and shops is available down in the newer parts of town and along the busy seafront with its sandy beaches - a short walk or even shorter bus ride away. The Alpuharras national park and the Alhambra in Granada are both less than an hour away.
Salobrena has excellent beaches and restaurants. The beaches are a short, steep walk downhill, a short drive or simply take the bus which comes on the hour every hour from the top of the road and does a circular route. The beaches are clean and boast a variety of activities from fishing by the famous El Penon restaurant where you can dine with views overlooking the sea in both directions or you may wish simply to sunbathe or do scuba diving/jet skiing further up the 2 km stretch of beaches bordering the Paseo Maritimo.
A short 20 minute drive westwards along the coast is Almunecar, a busier resort but with its own castle and historic quarter as well. This is the place to go for nightlife and a slightly livelier sense of pace. The weekly flea market and summer jazz festival are well worth taking in.
An even shorter trip along the coast in the other direction brings you to Motril, a sizeable port and with a hypermarket and an extensive array of fashionable shops and boutiques.
If you can see yourself enjoying a quiet drink on the terraces with views across the town and coastline, then this could be your ideal spot. We feel this apartment offers a truly different holiday experience and a flavour of the real Spain away from the ravages of mass tourism.

Apartment Nautilus provides a stylish base from which to explore the Costa Tropical of Granada. Only just completed and on Los Moriscos golf course and a few minutes walk from the beachfront between Motril and Salobrena, it offers truly superior seaside accommodation.
Designed to take full advantage of its position guests will undoubtedly appreciate the terrace that offers, in one direction, views over the swimming pool and well manicured gardens to the Mediterranean sea. In the other direction you will be able to see the snow topped Sierra Nevadas during the winter months while sitting sipping a cool drink in the balmy 18º temperatures.
Apartment Nautilus has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (one en-suite) - these bedrooms can be arranged as 4 single beds or one double and a twin bedded room. The finishings include cream marble tiles, double-glazed windows, central air conditioning/heating and ceramic-tiled bathrooms and kitchen. The sitting room has two large leather sofas, a large flat screen TV, with free to air satellite English speaking channels, DVD and CD player with a selection of books, DVDs and board games.
The apartment has a very livable floorplan, with the sleeping areas separated from the main sitting and eating areas. The living room can even be closed off, so late night owls can carry on without disturbing those tucked in for the evening.
The thoroughly modern kitchen sports all the bells and whistles you need to prepare your own fare: A four ring electric hob and oven, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, full-sized fridge and freezer, electric kettle and coffee maker combine with complete sets of crockery and cookware to satisfy every need.
The popular 18 hole course and golf club is a pleasurable 10 minute walk away, as is Los Moriscos bar and restaurant. A few minutes further along the beachfront you come to numerous chiringuitos (beach side restaurants and bars).
The area enjoys a microclimate, subtropical in character, a warm and gentle 18 degrees in winter and an average of 25 degrees in summer. Guests have full access to the large well-maintained swimming pool (and separate children´s pool) on site open mid June to mid September . Swimmers and sun-worshippers preferring to paddle the surf and feel the sand under their toes are only a short stroll away from the beaches.
Playa Granada is the sort of place that you could easily make yourself at home in for the length of your stay. At the same time, if exploring the area is more to your liking, you can rest assured that you are ideally located for any number of day trips. The fascinating Alpujarras villages are even closer to you than the beautiful, culturally rich city of Granada, home to the famous Alhambra Palace, last stand of the Moors.
Granada lies approximately 50 minutes from Playa Granada. Or in the same amount of time you could find yourself in Nerja, a longtime favorite destination and home to some excellent Irish pubs, Indian curry houses and many a happy expat. Don't miss the real Spanish side of this town, however, the humble local church and the stunning Balcon de Europa are both worth a visit.
A car is recommended for this property and there is private garage parking underneath the building. The apartment is situated approx. 5 minutes by car from both Salobrena and Motril, where you will find everything from fresh markets and boot sales to large supermarkets with convenient parking.
Salobrena is a charming castle-topped town with a delightful rabbit warren of picturesque streets in its old quarter. Motril is a bustling modern Spanish city with designer shops, great tapas bars, fine restaurants and a lively nightlife.
Whether you are a large family or a group of friends, skiers (the ski resort of Sol y Nieve is only just over a one hour drive away), scuba diving (just 20 minutes away), swimmers or golfers, we are confident that Apartment Nautilus is a perfect backdrop for a relaxing, unforgettable holiday.

Enjoy dining alfresco on the spacious terraces and cooking on the brick built BBQ as you watch the sun set over the sea to the west.
The 8 mtrs x 4 mtr mosaic tiled swimming pool is surrounded by plenty of space for having lunch or lying out on the sunbeds. Nightlights are provided for an evening dip and tiled stairs at one end of the pool allow easy entrance and exit to it. A sizeable well-kept garden adjacent to the pool is laid to lawn with mature orange and lemon trees.

Feeling hungry? Motril offers a wide variety of restaurants, tapas bars, wine bars, cafes, pastry shops and bakeries. Here you will probably find the best clothes shopping on the Costa Tropical, with many boutiques displaying the latest high street fashions. Making the rounds of the shops is a joy in Motril as many of the stores are in a pedestrian zone that is interspersed with plazas where you can pause for a drink or a coffee.
Motril is located near so many places of interest that the biggest problem may be trying to figure out which to go to first! The Alhambra Palace and the beautifully, culturally rich city of Granada are a mere fifty minutes away by car.

Villa Nolano is situated 5 minutes behind the town of Motril with views to the Mediterranean Sea. The house is not overlooked by other properties offering total privacy.
Once inside the private gates, you are in your own world. Glimpse the Mediterranean through the soaring sugar cane and flowering shrubs that surround the lush lawn and pool area of this oasis just outside Motril.
With space to comfortably accommodate up to six people, Villa Nolano is a fantastic getaway for families wanting some fun in the sun. Parents will appreciate the secured fencing that separates the pool area from the house. Indeed, several features of the property are designed for maximum convenience. There is a WC with basin and loo on the ground floor, nicely situated for kids; the unique glass-paned arch in the kitchen is perfect for keeping an eye on the little ones as they play on the front terrace; it is also useful for passing plates through to those dining alfresco.
The large fully tiled swimming pool is set in the lawned garden amid flower beds and palm trees; it features mosaic steps at one end and a patio sunbathing area around the perimeter. Security gates help keep wandering toddlers at bay. Thoughtfully placed night lighting means the grounds can be enjoyed around the clock. An Andalucian-tiled, rose-filled patio wraps around three sides of this traditional home. A few steps from the kitchen lead to a built brick barbecue.
The barbecue is next to a large country room. This room was traditionally the "Men's Kitchen," and was where they would gather and roast meats or hang sausages to dry as they passed the afternoon. A very large fireplace dominates the room, and casual table and chairs complete the rustic scene.
In the main house the large, sunny eat-in kitchen affords all the amenities, from full-sized fridge/freezer to a quality heavy juicer and espresso maker. Smartly done up in sparkling charcoal granite with contrasting cream colored cabinets, it offers plenty of work and storage space. The wide Spanish-tiled kitchen window sill looks over the patio and barbecue area, which is conveniently accessed from the kitchen through a side door.
The comfortable sitting room has plenty of space and is well equipped with CD and DVD players, free-to-air English speaking satellite channels and Spanish TV reception, books and games. A working open fireplace adds the perfect cosy touch after a day of skiing, or for taking the chill off of the cooler evenings.
A spiral marble staircase leads from the ground level to the bedrooms and main bathroom on the sunny first floor. The full-sized modern bathroom has ample storage space, wide granite countertop, a large mirror over the sink, shower over bath, bidet and loo.
Sunshine streams into the good-sized bedrooms (one double, two twins), all of which are fitted in charming country furnishings. The bedrooms and bathroom all open onto a generous landing that is dotted with antique furniture. More stairs lead to the second floor roof terrace, from where one gets sweeping views of the Sierra Nevada mountains, the countryside and the sea.
Villa Nolano is a five-minute drive from Motril, the largest town on the Costa Tropical de Granada. Here you have access to modern grocery stores, hundreds of authentic eateries and excellent shopping from luxurious to bargain. The fresh food market is open every day except Sunday, and the rastro-style mercadillo comes to town every Tuesday and Friday. This is all five minutes from your holiday home. A car is essential.
Activities abound nearby. Many of our guests have enjoyed horseback riding, offered by a reliable outfit quite close to the villa. Others prefer hiking along many of the suggested routes in the area. Everyone can appreciate Granada, rich in culture and history and undoubtedly the jewel of the province. A mere 50 minutes from the property, home of the famous Alhambra Palace, this gorgeous capital is a must-see. Shopping, culture, history, fiestas, plazas, restaurants, nightlife...Granada has it all. It also is home to the Parque de Ciencias, a new hands-on science museum, which is a joy for visitors of all ages.
Between Villa Nolano and Granada lie the charming Lecrin Valley and Alpujarras villages. Countless pueblos selling traditional crafts and offering mouth-watering hearty fare await your exploration, most within an hour's drive from this villa.
Or spend a day wandering the seaside. Lively Nerja, ever popular with tourists, is half an hour down the coast (those homesick for a Guiness or a curry will find themselves mollified!) Closer by, Almunecar and Salobrena are sizable traditional Mediterranean villages, both well worth a visit.

Designed to take full advantage of its top floor position (4 floors only), guests will undoubtedly appreciate the very large main terrace that offers full views of both the Mediterranean and the Sierra mountain range. Patio furniture, barbecue grill, sun loungers and planters all combine for gracious outdoor living. Or you may find yourself sipping a leisurely sunset cocktail from the good-sized, furnished, private terrace that is off the double bedded room. Both terraces are perfect outdoor spaces in which to enjoy the enviable climate here.
The area enjoys a microclimate, subtropical in character, a warm and gentle 18 degrees in winter and an average of 25 degrees in summer. Guests have full access to the large well-maintained swimming pool on site open mid June to mid September and there is also a health spa with indoor pool, jacuzzi, sauna and steam rooms, showers, toilets and changing rooms. There is also a paddle tennis court on site. Swimmers and sun-worshippers preferring to paddle the surf and feel the sand under their toes are only a short stroll away from the beaches.
The penthouse has a very livable floorplan, with the sleeping areas well separated from the main sitting and eating areas. The living room can even be closed off, so late night owls can carry on without disturbing those tucked in for the evening.
The large sitting room is beautifully decorated with quality furnishings. Two chocolate leather sofas provide a plush seat from which to enjoy the flat-screen TV and DVD/CD music system. A selection of books, CDs, movies and games are provided for your enjoyment.
A quiet nook just off the sitting room is outfitted with a beautiful dark polished wood table and chairs. This dining area is located next to large sliding glass doors that lead to the main terrace, making it very convenient if you want to barbecue outside and dine indoors.
The thoroughly modern kitchen sports all the bells and whistles you need to prepare your own fare: A four ring electric hob and oven, family-sized microwave, dishwasher, full-sized fridge and freezer, electric kettle and coffee maker combine with complete sets of crockery and cookware to satisfy every need. An open-air separate utility area off the kitchen houses the washing machine and an extra sink.
The double-bedded room features large double sliding doors that open to a private terrace. One twin-bedded room includes a full ensuite bathroom with full length bath/shower. There is also a hideaway bed in this room, boosting the total possible occupancy to seven persons.
Playa Granada is the sort of place that you could easily make yourself at home in for the length of your stay. At the same time, if exploring the area is more to your liking, you can rest assured that you are ideally located for any number of day trips. The fascinating Alpujarras villages are even closer to you than the beautiful, culturally rich city of Granada, home to the famous Alhambra Palace, last stand of the Moors.
Granada lies approximately 50 minutes from Playa Granada. Or in the same amount of time you could find yourself in Nerja, a longtime favorite destination and home to some excellent Irish pubs, Indian curry houses and many a happy expat. Don't miss the real Spanish side of this town, however, the humble local church and the stunning Balcon de Europa are both worth a visit.
A car is recommended for this property and there is private garage parking underneath the building. The penthouse is situated approx. 5 minutes by car from both Salobrena and Motril, where you will find everything from fresh markets and boot sales to large supermarkets with convenient parking.
Salobrena is a charming castle-topped town with a delightful rabbit warren of picturesque streets in its old quarter. Motril is a bustling modern Spanish city with designer shops, great tapas bars, fine restaurants and a lively nightlife.
Whether you are a large family or a group of friends, skiers, swimmers or golfers, we are confident that The Penthouse is a perfect backdrop for a relaxing, unforgettable holiday.

Many fine features make up this magnificent hilltop estate: the views, setting, condition, amenities and special extras combine for superior accommodation, sure to be the basis of an unforgettable holiday.
Villa Pepe is part of a specially designated environmental area and endless groves of natural avocado trees line the hillside that slope seaward from its grounds. Chemical fertilizers are not permitted on the plantations surrounding the property. In keeping with this eco-friendly philosophy, an advanced salt treatment system maintains the villa's sparkling pool (11.5 mtrs x 5 mtrs) and jacuzzi without the use of chlorine or typical harsh water treatments.
The views are surely one of Villa Pepe's most spectacular features and the house is designed to take full advantage of them. Truly top-notch vistas begin with countryside that rolls gently down from Villa Pepe out over Motril and on to the Mediterranean. Distant coastal towns, the port of Motril, the Costa Tropical and the surrounding mountain ranges are a glance away from the large pool and numerous terraces. Plenty of outdoor living space enables guests to enjoy the Costa Tropical's outstanding climate, subtropical in character, a warm and gentle 18 degrees in winter and an average of 25 degrees in summer.

A shaded barbecue nook with music system and summer kitchen round out the numerous outdoor amenities.
Villa Pepe also features outstanding interior accommodation, making it a perfect getaway year-round. A separate, large games room comes equipped with pool table, separate WC and bar area. The 60 square-meter sitting/dining area is comfortably appointed with large dining table and chairs, 3 sofas, large coffee table, satellite TV, DVD and CD music system. Skiers (Sierra Nevada resort is an hour away) will love coming home to the fireplace with wood burning stove.
With 6 ample, well-appointed bedrooms (2 double and 4 twin-bedded) and 3.5 bathrooms (two ensuite) it easily houses up to 12 people with plenty of space and privacy for all. Be assured that you won't miss your mod cons during your stay. The fully fitted 24 square-meter kitchen has an airconditioning/heating system, microwave with grill, electric hob and oven, dishwasher, 2 large fridge/freezers, toaster, electric kettle, coffee machine, deep fat fryer and all the crockery and cutlery you need to whip up your own meals. A separate utility area provides a laundry machine, sink and ironing board, and conveniently opens onto an enclosed terrace with washline.
When you can tear yourself away from Villa Pepe, a myriad of sights and activities await you. Motril is a real Spanish town 5 minutes away, and it does not close down after tourist season. Fabulous shops, good restaurants and memorable tapas bars stay open year-round.
Granada, jewel of the province and home to the Alhambra palace, is less than an hours drive. Charming mountain villages, too numerous to mention, dot the Lecrin Valley and Alpujarras hills on the way to Granada.
Those preferring a coastal outing will find many towns to choose from: Nerja, a long favorite of travellers, is half an hour away and the castle-topped seaside towns of Almunecar and Salobrena are within minutes of the villa.
Whether you seek a peaceful retreat or a home base for further travel, Villa Pepe is the ideal solution for large groups desiring an outstanding holiday experience.
