Our spacious and comfortable home with fabulous views & very private location available during the months of July and August 2010 only We will be away for much of the summer 2010 and our rather nice home with spectacular views in a very private location on the hillside above Salobrena is available for holiday rental. Our home  has 5 bedrooms in all but one will be closed off to house our personal things. The available bedrooms are two with double beds and two with two singles all with comfortable good quality mattresses. There is one with en-suite bathroom and the other three share another bathroom with shower. There is also a separate cloakroom with WC. The house is very spacious inside and out with the living areas and outdoor terraces in keeping with a comfortable 5 bedroom family home rather than a 4 bedroom holiday villa. The villa has air-conditioning to the living rooms and all bedrooms other than bedroom 4. The pictures above give a pretty good idea of our home and one of the best features is privacy as we are at the end of a quiet cul de sac with a wooded valley beyond and we own the adjacent vacant plots on each side so there are no immediate neighbours! Another desirable feature is the easy connection between the outdoor and indoor living areas. The very spacious living room has a 4 meter wide single pane picture window framing a postcard perfect view of Salobrena, the castle and the sea. The dining table is very comfortable for 8 settings.  Immediately outside is an open terrace leading to the large covered eating area with a 12 seater circular table and outdoor kitchen/bar complete with a versatile and easy to use outdoor cooker/barbecue, drinks fridge and washing up facilities. Access to the indoor kitchen is just a few steps away via the back door and within the kitchen is yet another table and chairs for occasional meals for up to 6.  Outside the ample garden area is mainly lawn with various palms, fruit trees and shrubs. Amongst the fixtures, fittings and amenities are a water softener, water purifier for drinking water, air conditioning to the lounge, kitchen and one bedroom, digital satellite TV with British terrestrial channels, most of the sports and movie channels plus  Spanish channels, DVD player, music system,  microwave, Miele dishwasher, big drum washing machine, tumble dryer, Dyson vacuum cleaner and of course a swimming pool. There are 6 sun loungers. There is a telephone and a PC with broadband internet connection & wifi so you can also connect your own laptop.   Access for any elderly relatives is easy with just a couple of steps between the upper entrance (There are two entrances) and the main living area. However the bedrooms, pool and main garden area are all one level lower. The house adjoins a wooded valley with abundant birdlife including golden oriels, hoopoes, bee eaters,  nightjars, scops owls, flycatchers, swallows, kestrels and various other interesting birds. There are no immediate neighbours on either side. There is free access to the  Monte de los Almendros community recreation area with 2 swimming pools and tennis court just 5 minutes walk from the villa.   While we are away the pool and garden will be maintained as usual and the house cleaned with bed linen and bath towels changed each week. The house is very well equipped compared with most self catering villas.
