The apartment is set on a hill with amazing views of the mountains, town and sea from the spacious terrace. It's very peaceful, even in August, with just the sounds of the church bells and a few cars passing by occasionally. The beach is a short 15-20 minute stroll away with plenty of good quality Spanish restaurants to choose from. There's a market in the town where you can buy lovely fresh bread, fruit, veg, fish and meat and there are a couple of good supermarkets where you can buy everything else you might need. Granada is an easy 1 hour drive away up the new motorway. It's a perfect place to stay if you want to experience a true Spanish holiday without too many foreigners! |
Guestbook for Apartment La Luz
'We had a lovely, quiet week in which we enjoyed the peacefulness of Salobrena. No airs and graces, nothing pretentious! We had most of the lunches on the terrace. Your keyholder is very knowledgable and extremely helpful on arrival. Thanks for the welcome bottle! (November 2004, Mr and Mrs S, London)
'It was a restful, lovely week after the bustle of Barcelona and a welcome space in which our large family could come together. (February 2005, Mr and Mrs F. UK)
We loved the apartment and the nearby beaches. The kitchen was so well equipped that cooking was a pleasure. The local market and fish market met all our needs. The views from the terrace are unforgettable and our meals were there will be memorable too. Although we are a family of 6, we felt there was plenty of space for everyone. (July 2005, The L. family from Denmark)
The apartment served all our needs for a 3 months' stay. It has great views, splendid location and easily accommodated our guests during our stay. Thank you for allowing us to have an unforgettable holiday, away from the cold winter of Vermont. (January - March 2006, Mr and Mrs H, USA)
Semana Santa was exciting and different, and could be enjoyed from the terrace. We shall be back. ( April 2006, Mr and Mrs N from Lithuania)
We loved Salobrena and the beaches nearby, all clean and friendly. The apartment is superb, the views stunning, just about everything has been provided. The keyholder is charming. Definitely recommended! (June 2008, The S family from UK)
With our very own 'restaurant' at the terrace, we hardly ever went out in the evenings. We enjoyed fireworks, processions, the everchanging light towards the sea and the Sierras from the terrace. An unforgettable holiday! (Miss F and sister, Holland, July 2010)
