El Olivarón is a luxury, light-filled villa completely renovated and refurbished in 2008/9, which sleeps up to 8 people.

It sits on the steep hillside of Monte de los Almendros with absolutely breath-taking 180-degree views over the old town of Salobrena with its Moorish castle, the Mediterranean sea, and the Sierra Nevada mountains which are snow-capped for many months of the year.

As well as its magnificent views, this beautiful villa boasts:

4 double bedrooms.
