Casa Girasol - beautiful spacious villa with private heated pool


A beautiful spacious villa high up above Salobrena in a tranquil residential area. The location is a perfect retreat away from the hustle and bustle of the world, while being only 5km from Salobrena and it's beaches, bars, shops and restaurants. The villa is well equipped, with a kitchen, dining room, lounge and an en-suite bedroom downstairs, with 3 bedrooms (1 with en-suite) and the main bathroom upstairs.

There is a dining terrace overlooking the pool and a large balcony accessible from 2 of the upstairs bedrooms, where you can relax and look down to the sea below. There is plenty of outside space, lawned areas, fruit trees and a private heated 8m x 4m pool with terrace. The heated pool is a real bonus for holidays outside the main summer months.

The villa is well-equipped with cool/heat air conditioning in the living space and bedrooms, and there is wifi available via fast fibre broadband.

The villa garden is fully enclosed on all sides by a wall and entry is through the electric gate into an area providing parking for 3/4 vehicles. The whole site is peaceful and affords a good degree of privacy.

There are also communal facilities available nearby where you can enjoy a large swimming pool with children's pool, with adjoining outdoor cafe open during the summer months. There is also a football pitch and a tennis court.

The property is supervised by an agency in the immediate locality, and they are available to help with any queries which may arise.

Access to the villa is in about 1 hour from either Malaga (90km) or Granada (70 km) airport, using the new motorway links that are now in place. Car hire is essential to get the best from your stay and we can advise on this if required.

There are many options for exploring the surrounding area. The local town of Salobrena with it's hilltop Moorish castle is a 5-10 minute drive where all facilities are available, including the beachside chiringitos serving a variety of local dishes. Almunecar with it's Roman ruins, bustling centre, old town and markets is 15 minutes back along the coast towards Malaga.

Further afield you can visit Granada and the Alhambra Palace, Nerja with it's famous caves and a trip into the Alpujarras mountains hopping between the beautiful white-washed villages is a must. Even skiing is possible within 75 mins drive in the Sierra Nevada, between November and April. The largest nearby commercial centre is Motril (10km) which is a thriving town that immerses you in the real Spain.

A golf course is situated on the coast 10 minutes drive away.

The whole area surprises visitors because it couldn't be more different from the usual Spanish holiday area. Here you come to relax, and enjoy everything that is Spanish, perhaps even a little of the language and certainly the picturesque scenery which dominates the region.

This villa is perfect for big families, lots of children, or even two families who want to share. Equally it is an ideal place for couples/adults to get away from it all with its lovely tranquil location where you can truly escape the hectic world. Come, soak up the sun, and explore this beautiful unspoiled part of Andalucia!

Lovely villa with amazing views
We had a wonderful stay at Casa Girasol, the villa is very nice and spacious. Liz and Barry who looked after it for the owner, Debbie, were wonderful and very knowledgeable about the surrounding area giving us great tips on where to eat and beaches to visit. Great views and a great location and not too far to drive to the Spanish resorts of Almuñécar, Salobreña and Nerja and definitely worth a visit to Granada. We stayed here at the time of the UK air traffic control problems and were forced to stay another 3 days in Spain, no bad thing with Debbie the owner being very accommodating, we were able to stay in the villa until our rescheduled departure. We thank her very much for this, it made a potentially painful experience a much less stressful one. We would definitely return.

Perfectly relaxing
The villa is wonderful both inside and out. It's spacious, has a great pool and lovely grounds. You're only a 10 min drive from the beach, shops or restaurants so it's peaceful location is idyllic. Communication with the villa owners both before and after our stay were great. As were the property managers who did everything they could to make our stay comfortable. The area has great restaurants and lots to do so would recommend!

a great getaway!
We greatly enjoyed our stay and would come back! We are a group of 7 with several kids, and there was plenty of space to find a place for quiet time, and lots of open spaces to play together, outside and inside. The height of the house on the mountain and the big balcony with sea views really helped us feel like we'd stepped out of work life and into vacation. The pictures of the house make the pool look like it's far below the actual house, but it was actually very close, and we were able to watch the kids swimming without also being in the pool, which was nice. The property managers were excellent, super attentive, respectful (always in a mask, even outside), and very quick to help. They live very close and we really enjoyed interacting with them. Our one complaint would be that, while the house felt very clean, and the kitchen felt very clean, the drawers were filled with old silverware and sketchy old serving utensils, and the silverware organizer and drawers were not clean. This may not be an issue for most people, but because of COVID, cooked all our meals every day for 7 people in that kitchen :). Overall, excellent. We loved our time!

Awesome vacation home
Quite possibly the best Spanish vacation home we’ve ever rented. And we’ve rented a lot!! Beautiful house and very spacious. Wonderful private pool which our kids loved a lot. 12 min from Salobrena beach and extremely kind and helpful local proxy hosts. Highly recommended and will never hesitate to come back!

Beautiful, outside space and views amazing!
I stayed here with my two young sons, way more space than we needed, easily sleeps 8/9. The outside space and pool was perfect, good size to do lengths, and just gorgeous for lounging and relaxing. Liz who looks after the house couldn't be more helpful, she was amazing, everything we needed was in the house...more cutlery and crockery than we knew what to do Roth which was brilliant. Fantastic week, thank you

correct people, very nice house and location, clean and very good with children
swimmingpool: was warmed and beautifull location with light for in the evenings. Accomodation for swimmingpool present. Also safe for kids. house: was nice due to the different terrasses around the house, also good view to the swimminpool from a big part of the house. Kitchen well equipated. If problems, quick help by people in the surroundings who are the back up of the owner. House was very clean, and very nice for children, as there was a lot of space, plays, and also a lot of doors to outside and inside, so they run through the house and the garden, it's one complete are. There was a map with walkings, we did some and they were really nice. Distance to the beach is okay with car. Description of the owner is like it is on the place itselfs, correct persons. One minor point is that the beaches are not very beautifull and sandy, but try the walks and you will find nice little ones, isolated. we had a nice holliday.

A beautiful house on the coast of Andalucia
We stayed in Casa Girasol during the Christmas week in December 2015. For us, 6 adults and two little children, it was a very nice and relaxing holiday. The house is beautifull and lives up to its description and pictures on the internet. Located in a beautifull and quiet villa neighbourhood on the hill above Salobrena. Less than 10 minutes by car to the beach and the village. Shops, restaurants and supermarkets minutes away by car. Around the house there are nice terraces and a beautifull pool area. The little gate at the entrance of the pool is good when you have little children. The service during our stay was very warm and friendly, quick and perfect. Firewood and kindling were at our disposal for free. Internet worked fine. We will certainly return later in 2016.

Schmutzige Ausstattung in schöner Villa - Inserat bei FeWo irreführend
Schönes Haus, aber sehr schlecht gewartet und geputzt: dreckiges und ungeeignetes Inventar in der Küche. Überall waren Gegenstände in dem Haus, welches somit vermüllt erscheint. Der Pool wurde nicht beheizt, obwohl als besonders Plus bei FeWo für diese Villa beschrieben. Nur wenn wir erhebliche Mehrkosten gezahlt hätten, wäre er geheizt worden. Zudem passt die Ausstattung nicht für die Personenzahl: weder entsprechend viele Wassergläser als auch Liegen waren vorhanden, Liegenauflagen fehlten. Das Personal vor Ort hat aber erfolgreich versucht, teilweise Abhilfe zu schaffen. Die Villa ist in einer Siedlung hoch oben auf dem Berg. Ein Auto ist zwingend erforderlich.

Buena opción para estancia tranquila con niños
En general, la casa está muy bien. Los encargados son encantadores y la atención ha sido magnífica. Aunque la carretera de acceso es estrecha y sinuosa, el entorno es estupendo y la casa muy amplia, con una piscina privada muy aceptable. Además, hay zonas comunes, con una piscina grande y pistas deportivas muy bien cuidadas. Por poner alguna pega, el menaje de cocina es mejorable (sobre todo las sartenes) y las ventanas un poco antiguas. Por lo demás, es un alojamiento muy recomendable.

Cette villa a répondu à nos attentes
Belle villa spacieuse répondant tout à fait à notre attente. Les propriétaires sont très attentifs au bien être de leurs locataires. L'emplacement de cette villa est idéale pour se rendre à Ronda, Malaga, Nerja, Cordou et Grenade. Les indications pour la remise des clefs et pour accéder à la villa étaient très claires. Nous aurions cependant appréciés de rencontrer une personne pour la remise des clefs à notre départ, plutôt que de laisser ces dernières sous la poubelle extérieure. A conseiller pour famille nombreuse.
