It is built in the traditional Andalucian style and features cool tiled floors throughout and wooden window shutters - all with mosquito nets. The main house is on one level and has two large bedrooms (both with ceiling fans), one bathroom with bidet, bath/shower, a large sitting room and an American style bar/kitchen at one end.

The separate garden studio situated opposite the house has large double entrance doors into a bedroom with 2 single beds, a bathroom and kitchenette and offers spacious self contained accommodation. There is also a separate foldaway bed suitable for a child which can be moved where needed.
The well maintained gardens are planted with flowering plants and shrubs and the many palm trees surrounding the house and pool/terrace offer welcome shade. There are plenty of cushioned sunloungers around the pool. A children´s paddling pool is also available if required.

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. Between Villa Palmera and Granada lie the charming Lecrin Valley and the 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.

Situated on the Costa Tropical, Salobrena is a beautiful Andalucian town built on a craggy hill overlooking the Mediterranean. At the top of the hill is the Arab castle where incredible views of the coastline and Sierra Nevada mountains can be enjoyed. The maze of narrow streets beneath the castle offers a charming introduction of Moorish Spain to the visitor.
Casa Las Golondrinas is a perfect holiday destination, designed and furnished by the owners as a real home away from home, newly and well equipped throughout. The house is situated in a tranquil location and with only a footpath running alongside the house, there is no noise from passing traffic. The terrace, with patio furniture has fantastic views across the Costa Tropical coastline. The ground floor terrace has BBQ and patio furniture.
This 2 bedroom property is set beneath the Arab Castle amongst the traditional white Moorish houses of Salobrena old town. The house is located just a short walk from many excellent bars and restaurants and is a 15 minute walk to the beach. Parking is possible in the nearby streets for those with a car but it should be noted that the hilly streets in the old town may not be suitable for those with walking difficulties. There are bus and taxi services in the town at very reasonable prices.
The house offers spacious accommodation to a high standard. The sitting room has satellite TV, DVD and doors leading to the terrace. There are two spacious bedrooms (one double and a twin bedroom) and a large bathroom with full length bath/shower. The house sleeps 4 but it can be rented with Casa Las Palmeras which shares entry through the ground floor patio entrance/BBQ terrace and can therefore sleep a total of 9 people.
The Chiringuito bars along the mile long beach offer a variety of refreshments and are exceptionally good value. It is in an ideal location whether you are looking to relax or enjoy the activities that Andalucia has to offer. The Sierra Nevada, Spain's highest mountain range, is a magnificent backdrop to this partly undiscovered area of Spain. The area enjoys a microclimate, subtropical in character, a warm and gentle 18 degrees in winter and an average of 25 degrees in summer.
The beaches on the Costa Tropical are unspoiled, there are golf courses in Granada (18 holes) and Los Moriscos golf course (currently 9 holes with the 18 hole course opening approx May 2006) just 3km from Salobrena, by the sea with a restaurant and bar. There is also the Marina at the Port of Motril. In the winter months you can go skiing in the Sierras in the morning and sunbathe on the beach in the afternoon.
This is the old Andalucian part of Spain, complete with fiestas, whitewashed villages, Moorish castles and some of the best and least expensive food and wine to be found. The restaurants and tapas bars are very good and the fish is excellent. There is history to be found everywhere, from the Alhambra Palace in Granada (just 50 minutes by car) to the Alpujarras region. The coastal towns of Almeria, Almunecar, Motril and Nerja are also well worth a visit.

Casa Anitra is a delightfully restored 3 bedroom town house, with large roof terrace, situated at the top of the historic town of Salobrena, Costa Tropical de Granada. With spectacular views over the old town, the Mediterranean Sea and the snowcapped Sierra Nevada mountains, this is a distinctly different proposition from the typical Spanish villa holiday.
The house is set right towards the top of the historic old town with its narrow cobbled streets and winding alleyways and has recently been totally refurbished in a rustic style in keeping with its own character and that of its surroundings. It is in the heart of the Barrio Albaycin of Salobrena, the original Moorish quarter. At least one of the walls of the house contains Moorish brickwork over 600 years old.
Probably its finest asset is its roof terrace – from its elevated position at the top of the town it commands 360 degree views across to the sea, the sugar cane fields, the Arab castle and the majestic backdrop of the Sierra Nevada mountains. The terrace has sunbathing and dining areas and there is a BBQ and a spacious pergola for shade. To relax on the terrace whether by daytime or at night with the floodlit fort above and the lights of the town twinkling below is an unforgettable experience and an integral part of your stay here.
The house sleeps 6 and the accommodation includes one double bedroom, one twin bedroom and one single bedroom. The ground floor has been converted from the old stable and has a fully equipped kitchen, living room/ dining area, tv with free to air English satellite channels +dvd & sofa bed. The large bathroom includes a deep mosaic tiled bath and separate multi-function power shower.
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.
The view from the roof terrace is dominated by the Moorish Castle ‘El Castillo Arabe’. A short walk up to this place will reward you with further amazing views across the verdant plain below and graphically illustrate its strategic position.
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 are looking for a modern villa with a pool and plenty of nightlife, this is not for you. But if you can see yourself enjoying a quiet drink on the terrace with views across the roofs of the old town to the sea and towards the Arab fort, then this could be your ideal spot.
We feel this house offers a truly different holiday experience and a flavour of the real Spain away from the ravages of mass tourism.

This lovely holiday villa features sweeping views over tropical groves to the Mediterranean sea. Villa La Siesta is situated only a five minute drive behind the town of Motril, close enough for convenient shopping but far enough away to lose the traffic and bustle. Above the private pool, from La Siesta´s large terrace, one can watch the cruise ships in the distance as they glide into the port. 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.
La Siesta can accommodate 6 people with 3 bedrooms (1 double and two twins). All bedrooms feature plenty of clothing storage so you can completely unpack and make yourself at home. Wood windows and shutters add to the country charm of this peaceful rural retreat.

Villa La Siesta is only a 3 minute drive to an excellent modern supermarket that is easily accessible with plenty of free parking. A minute or two more in the car will find you in the heart of Motril, a working Spanish town favoured as a getaway by residents of Granada and anyone else who detests the overbuilt jungle further west down the coast!
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. Countless quaint mountain villages dot the Alpujarran countryside en route to Granada and many of them are well worth a visit. Or stay on the coast and explore the seaside towns of Salobreña and Almuñecar. Nerja, a longtime favourite, is about half an house westward along the beautiful scenic coastline.

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.

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 Maria Louisa 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. Closer by, Almunecar and Salobrena are sizable traditional Mediterranean villages, both well worth a visit.

The Sierra Nevada, Spain's highest mountain range, is a magnificent backdrop to this partly undiscovered area of Spain. The area enjoys a microclimate, subtropical in character, a warm and gentle 18 degrees in winter and an average of 25 degrees in summer.The beaches are unspoilt, there are golf courses in Granada (18 holes) and Los Moriscos golf course (9 holes) just 6km from Motril, by the sea with a restaurant and bar.

This is the old Andalucian part of Spain, complete with fiestas, whitewashed villages, Moorish castles and some of the best and least expensive food and wine to be found. The restaurants and tapas bars are very good and the fish is excellent. There is history to be found everywhere, from the Alhambra Palace in Granada (just 50 minutes by car) to the Alpujarras region. The coastal towns of Almeria, Almunecar, Salobrena and Nerja are also well worth a visit.
Note: The house is located in an agricultural area and there is a fruit farm in front of the house - it is seen from the front terrace but not from the swimming pool area which has lovely views and is very private.

From the moment you enter the towering gates of Villa Pepe you know you are in for a real treat. Located 5 minutes behind Motril, Villa Pepe is a walled, gated property with pool and jacuzzi that offers total privacy within sprawlling, immaculate grounds. 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 huge handmade round wooden table with chairs is on the veranda just outside the kitchen, and another more intimate table is tucked into a smaller terrace around the corner; a large sunbathing area surrounds the pool and jacuzzi with loungers and patio furniture provided. 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.

Cortijo LAS CHORRERAS is set on a 40.000 m2 private estate (finca) in a forest of holm oaks. It's a particularly private setting and an ideal place to get away from it all and relax. It's also well positioned for visiting nearby historic villages such as Íllora o Montefrío. Illora is overlooked by an old Moorish castle, and retains a traditional atmosphere and also has many shops and bars. Montefrio is off the tourist trail in the northwestern corner of Granada province near the Cordoba border, and is a welcoming village in a striking setting: one of its churches is perched on top of a rocky pinnacle, overlooking the town and the surrounding olive groves and fields. Montefrío is famous for its excellent local sausages (chorizo, salchichón and morcilla).
The cortijo is also only 20 mins from stunning Granada and Spain's No. 1 tourist attraction 'The Alhambra Palace', 1 hour from the Sierra Nevada and 1 hour 30 mins from the Costa Tropical.
