Casa Mandarina is situated about 60 minutes drive east from Malaga airport on The Costa Tropical near Salobrena. It can also be reached from Granada and Almeria airports.  The house is ideal for family holidays, special occasions such as birthdays and weddings and skiing in the winter months.

The area is typically Spanish and Ideal for those who are looking for a peaceful alternative to the Costa del Sol.  We finished building the house in 2006 and a lot of love and attention to detail has gone into its design.  It is a large house comprising 320 square metres. It has four large double bedrooms and can accommodate up to 10 people. The Drawing Room measures 30 x 30 feet.  Perfect for parties! 

    Large sitting room with surround sound        

The house is situated on the prestigious Monte de los Almendros urbanisation and overlooks countryside and the sea.  We have a 13 metre pool with an infinity edge that gives the impression of swimming in the sea.  A few minutes from the villa you can also use the private tennis court and small football pitch.The house is designed around a Morroccan theme with extensive use of ceramic tiles laid into the terracotta . The floors incorporate a central heating system.  This is ideal for Winter guests although Winter only lasts for two or three months!       

  All the ceramics are hand-made in the local mountain village of Orgiva.         

Casa Mandarina is ideal for holidays throughout the year.  The temperature is always warm and for those

who like skiing but want to come home with an all-over tan this is the answer.  Just an hour from the Sierra Nevada,  you can literally ski in the morning and relax in the afternoon back at the house in temperatures of 15 degrees and above from January onwards.  The Summers are hot but on Monte de los Almendros there is always a cooling breeze.  The climate is as near to perfection as you can get!

The infinity pool overlooks the sea and countryside.  It is the the sun all day         

                  Salobrena old town with its winding cobbled streets                

Salobrena is less developed than other coastal towns.  The old town is perched on a rocky crag.  The whitewashed houses are separated by winding cobbled streets leading up to a wonderful Moorish castle at the top.  The streets are home to numerous small shops and bars.  The new town, beneath the rock,  contains a wide range of shops including supermarkets,  boutiques,  banks,  in fact everything you will need during your holiday.  The beach is bristling with authentic Andalucian restaurants. Sardines and squid are cooked on spikes in old fishing boats filled with sand.  The night life is also good and there are plenty of clubs and bars.  The larger town of Almunecar is only a short distance by car or taxi and has a wider choice of nightlife for the younger ones who prefer to go to bed as the sun gets up.
