The Costa Tropical region


Salobrena enjoys the warmest and sunniest winters in Europe while benefiting from the most pleasant summers on the southern coast of Spain. This microclimate is made possible by the nearby Sierra Nevada mountain range which shields it from the extremes of summer heat and winter cold. Another plus is Salobrena's truly Spanish culture and flavor, with foreigners still in the minority. Spanish traditions are not just alive on fiesta days but also on a daily basis. Even the charming tradition of serving free tapas with every drink, still exists in most bars.
The Salobrena / Monte de Los Almendros area
Villa Maeve’s situation on the Monte Los Almendros offers not only magnificent views of the many beautiful villas and the surrounding sights but is also privileged to be close to many of Spain’s most picturesque, charming and historical tourist destinations. The ancient city of Granada with its magnificent Alhambra Palace is less than an hour away on an excellent highway . The quaint villages of the Alpujarra, where one can still see original crafts of the area being created, are a mere 40 minutes drive from Salobrena.
For the sports lover the Los Moriscos Golf Club with a lovely restaurant and terrace is just five minutes by car. The Sierra Nevada ski resort "Sol y Nieve", Spain's highest and most famous ski resort, is 90 minutes by car and gives visitors the unique possibility of enjoying a morning of skiing…. and then an afternoon of lounging or swimming in the heated pool, overlooking the Mediterranean. Outside of the ski season, the beautiful Sierra Nevada mountains are ideal for picnics and hiking.

Guestbook for VILLA MAEVE
We have had the most wonderful holiday. Perfect!!! The villa and location are absolutely superb. Its hard to describe in words how wonderful the views are . We have enjoyed every minute. Its been really wonderful. The villa is lovely and so amazingly well equipped . We would like to come again later in the year......
Bev and Pete Davies (June 12 to 19)
Many thanks for all your efforts to make our stay in Spain so special . There was everything in the villa we needed, the location was superb, the decor great , the facilities excellent and the new pool a real topper
Unlike many of the newer properties on the Monte which are sterile, your villa has warmth, character and plants galore. We would love to come back and stay again in the not too distant future
Martin Paulson (June 28 to July 5)
I just thought I would drop you a line to say how much we enjoyed our stay. It’s a really comfortable home and we were able to have a lovely rest. We were fascinated by all the artifacts and pictures and there was always something new to look at.
Clare Aguirre de Carcer (September 29 to October 6)
Just to let you know that we had a wonderful time at Villa Maeve. It was a most relaxing break. The villa is so pretty and such a retreat that we spent most of our time there just reading and swimming-exactly what we had hoped for. Could have spent another week and would have started on some of the great books in your library. We loved your paintings too and all the interesting collections from your travels. Many thanks. We will definitely return..
Carol Calder, Norfolk (October 23 to 30)
We're home safe and sound after a wonderful trip. We absolutely loved the villa. The view is second to none...the villa is extremely clean and well stocked and we felt at home almost immediately. It was exactly what we hoped it would be and would recommend it to others. Our initial plan was to do more travelling, but once we got to the villa, we really relaxed and decided to slow down and enjoy what we had there.
.Wendy Mitchell - Toronto, Canada (October 30 to November 6 )
We had a wonderful holiday in Villa Maeve. In fact, there was nothing which was missing. We enjoyed especially the pool, the marvelous spacey kitchen and the beds were very comfortable as well (contrary to many other places in Spain).Anyway, all 2 families agreed that we would always recommend your place to spend a lovely holiday.
Tim Schmütsch and family
We stayed at Villa Maeve in June 2011, the location and views are superb. The villa has all you could wish for and the welcome we had from Donna was excellent. The whole experience of booking this villa with Olga was very smooth and there was nothing she was not prepared to advise us on.
The pool with its tumbling waterfall feature was a delight and we used it every day - more than once.
My son and his partner arrived for the second week and they too have fallen in love with the Costa Tropical area.
The area surrounding the villa is excellent, good shops, restaurants and if you are looking for traditional Spain then this is the area to head for.
The view from the terrace of the whole of the Salobrena beach plus the castle - lite up at night - was a joy both first thing in the morning and during the balmy evenings. The BBQ was used and if I had a choice it would have been nicer if it was gas - a minor point I know. The pool and garden were attended whilst we were there also change of linens and towels.
Take a good look at the web site and I think you will see from the pictures the reason why we liked it so much and we think you would too.

Yes we had a wonderful holiday in Villa Maeve and Salobrena!!!! You really have a beautiful house with a marvellous view to the sea and city of Salobrena. You were very kind leaving us the wine and we enjoyed it the night we came to Villa Maeve. Everything was great there...we even found us a new pet...a little gecko who lived in the terrace. The girls loved him.
