Las Torres is a recently built luxury villa finished in 2007 to a very high standard and furnished by a professional interior designer. All mod cons but with a flavour of the past including beautiful reclaimed roof tiles from Granada and heavy antique timber doors at the main entrance onto the street. One of its most attractive features is a series of curved arches around the spiral staircase running through the house. 

The layout of the villa has been carefully planned to maximize privacy and flexibility. There are 3 bedrooms (two doubles and one twin), and each is separated from the others. The principal bedroom (double) with en-suite bathroom (bath & walk in shower) is on the lower level adjacent to the heated swimming pool. The twin-bedded room with an en-suite shower room is on the same level but situated on the other side of a 2nd sitting room. The third bedroom (double) is located in a “tower“ with an en-suite shower room and its own roof terrace.

Steps lead down to the pool terrace below, where there is an exotic succulents garden, the heated pool, and a large terrace.  Steps from here lead down to a lower garden area with newly planted fruit trees (bananas, oranges, lemons, mandarins, mangoes, avocadoes, grapefruit and olives).

Amongst the fixtures, fittings and amenities at the villa are a private heated swimming pool (Guaranteed minimum 80ºF/27ºC), air conditioning, digital satellite TV with all BBC TV & radio stations and the other free to air satellite channels, DVD player, telephone, web connected PC, portable music system, safe, microwave, dishwasher, large fridge freezer, water softener, R/O water purifier (pure drinking water from a tap in the kitchen - no need to buy heavy water bottles!), washing machine, tumble dryer, child's cot, Outdoor Chef gas barbecue, six sun loungers, table tennis table, outdoor eating area with seating for 6. And for comfortable winter use Las Torres has under-floor heating throughout, powered mainly by solar energy! Telephone calls are charged at the actual costs of call charges so if the telephone is not used there is no charge.

Las Torres has luxurious accommodation and amenities for 6 people but also satisfies the needs of the environment as it is one of very few properties where hot water, space heating and pool heating are all largely powered by solar energy with just a little help in mid winter from an energy efficient heat pump. Also the irrigation for the fruit trees uses re-cycled biologically treated waste-water from the villa.

The Monte de los Almendros community recreation area with 2 swimming pools, a hard tennis court and grassed small football pitch is just a few minutes walk from the villa. Access is free to Torres visitors.

The swimming pool and plants are looked after by their friendly gardener Ramon. He will be about from time to time as necessary but will not be obtrusive. Fresh bed linen and indoor towels are provided each week. The property is very well equipped for a self catering villa holiday and all of the furnishings and equipment in the villa were bought new towards the end of 2007.

(The owners have been resident here in Spain since 1988 and provide a lot of information on local activities for their guests). They enjoy walking in the hills above Salobreña and in “Las Alpujarras“ (foothills of the Sierra Nevada) and they make many day trips to the excellent snow skiing (just 70 minutes by car from the villa). There are plenty of other activities in the area and there is a particularly good choice of excellent value local restaurants and tapas bars!

Please note: In the owners' opinion this villa is not best suited for children under the age of 10.
