About the home

Casa Mandarina comprises 340 square metres. It has been beautifully designed around a Moroccan theme and offers features such as a surround sound music system and state of the art kitchen. The sitting room is large measuring 15 x 15 metres and leads into a large dining room. It has numerous terraces facing the sea and a large infinity pool. The house is in a quiet location, surrounded by countryside on a no-through road. All the bedrooms are large doubles. Shops and beaches are a few minutes drive from the house. There is enough parking for two or three cars.

In 2010 we added a pergola at the end of the pool. This is a perfect place to sunbathe or dine under. The views across the sea are fabulous. We also added what can only be described as a Folly in the back courtyard. It's an impressive feature over 3 metres high and adds a lot of interest to the walled garden. Ideal for early evening drinks as the sun goes down.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
The master bedroom suite includes a roll top bath, wet room and music system. All accommodation is of the highest standard. There are 4 large double bedrooms, all situated downstairs. These are naturally cool at night and each has an overhead fan that adds to your night- time comfort. In November 2010 we added an overspill room in the tower. This is reached by a spiral staircase from the dining room. It has two couches and is equipped as a home cinema with HD DVD facilities. The house has so many nooks and crannies that it is possible to get away from everyone when you need a bit of peace. Most people who have holidayed here describe it as the best villa they have ever stayed in.

Further details outdoors:
13 metre infinity pool, large BBQ / kitchen area. Large terrace at rear of property and garden. New pergola overlooking the sea. Ideal for dining and sunbathing. Fabulous views all day and particularly at night. At night you can light the garden and pool or just wait for the numerous solar tree lights to come on naturally.

The Costa Tropical region

The Costa Tropical benefits from some of the best weather in Europe. It is warm for most of the year. At Christmas people can be seen swimming in the sea! It is possible in the winter to get a sun tan in the morning and go skiing in the Sierra Nevada in the afternoon. The house is just over an hour from the ski slopes.
Summers are hot but the position of the villa ensures that you have breezes throughout the day. Unlike many of The Costas, The Costa Tropical is unspoiled by mass tourism. It is the perfect place to get away from it all and soak up local culture. Granada and the Alhambra are less than an hour away. The new motorway means that we are now only 1 hour door to door from Malaga airport.

The Salobrena / Monte de Los Almendros area

Monte de los Almendros is one of the most sought after areas on the Costa Tropical. The main town is Salobrena. It is dominated by large, detached houses and has its own activity centre including tennis court, football pitch and swimming pool. Our house is in a secluded part of the community and has plenty of outside spaces so there is always somewhere to disappear to and get away from it all. The villa benefits form its own large pool and gardens. From the house, Granada is a short distance as is the town of Almunecar. For full details of the area please ask. An information pack is available in the villa and our representative will be happy to assist you.

“Paradise with amazing space, views, design....do not hesitate!” We rented this amazing villa for 2 months from late March to late May. It is simply perfect. In some ways it is too nice in that visitors may not want to leave and explore the amazing Costa Tropical... more

Guestbook for Casa Mandarina

Great villa. best we have ever stayed in. All the home touches of cushions, pictures, pretty lights and lots of seating areas set it apart from the others. We love the Costa Tropical for its 'non tourist' feel and stunning coastline. Couse family 2010.

What a beautiful villa in a gorgeous setting! Salobrena is a lovely unspoilt town and we thoroughly enjoyed exploring it. We made very good use of the pool which was warm all the time. The fans in the bedrooms kept us comfortably cool all night. We enjoyed the new pergola for breakfast and loved the views over Salobrena. The furnishings in the villa are gorgeous and we have admired all the various pieces of art and furniture. All in all we had a fantastic time at Casa Mandarina. Thanks for sharing! Baldwin family 2010.

Thanks for the best family holiday! The villa is stunning, beautifully furnished, lovely views and so well thought out. Heloise was really helpful, please thank her for everything. Didn't realise that Bank Holidays were so celebrated - fireworks were amazing. Check out fiestas in advance. Thanks for a perfect holiday! PS check out the shooting stars. Ian and Jackie August 2009


Thank you so much, we loved Casa Mandarina! Our honeymoon was fantastic, we met some great people in Salobrena. Casa Mandarina was such a fantastic place, just like home from home but in wonderful Spain. The birds, the pool, the views............the best!! Norman and Steph Baufeld. April 2009



' The villa would grace the pages of House and Gardens! ' Ross family 2006.

'We just had to write to thank you for a wonderful holiday at Casa Mandarina. The villa is in a superb location and furnished to a high standard, it was a real home from home. We were blown away by the hidden gems in the villa; old doors, wonderful pieces of furniture yet beautifully combined with hi-tech appliances and services. We almost stole the huge bed in the master bedroom - we haven't slept so soundly in year! And to top it all, we had seven glorious days of unbroken sunshine and a full moon on our last evening at the villa. The view from the master bedroom each morning and the fishing boats under the the full moon last night will stay with us for a long time.' The Foster family

'The combination of modern technology with the old and new European, North African and some Asian furnishings was truly amazing. We were very impressed with the kitchen , it was a delight to use. The views out to sea were stunning. Walking out on to the balcony with our early morning coffee was wonderful. Many happy hours were spent in this lovely and spotless infinity pool. The temperature ranged from 29 to 32 degrees! The gardens are gorgeous! We were very lucky that the Bougainvillea, Hibiscus and Mandevilla were blooming profusely. It is all so well maintained by Theresa. The house and grounds are large enough to create numerous private areas which is a must when you are holidaying in a large group. We had intended to visit the Alpujarras but the pull of the villa and pool was too strong'. Val and family

'I just wanted to say we had a fantastic time in your villa. The furnishings are superb and very comfortable and it was a pleasure to stay there. The surrounding area was very quiet and my boys loved watching the goats climbing the hillside. The views were awesome, not only of the sea but also of Salobrena and the castle. We hope to be back again soon.' Tara and family
