Just Google "sierra nevada ski spain" for more info.
Ideal for winter holidays for a mixed party where the keen skiers have their fun on the slopes and the less energetic can enjoy lazing on the sunbeds!

Booking notes
We have finished and furnished this villa to a much higher standard than most rental villas and would like to keep it in 'as new' condition for as long as possible. With this in mind we regret it is not available for parties with pets or young children (Under 10) and also we have a strict no smoking policy inside the villa.
Guest comments
Everyone who has stayed here is pleasantly surprised and delighted when they first enter Las Torres. The most heard comment is that it far exceeds their expectations based on the photographs and descriptions seen at the time of booking. It's incredible views and the care we have taken to make it as comfortable and relaxing as possible seem to have done the trick! One couple who stayed here in 2008 and who have stayed in many upmarket villas over the years have already re-booked Las Torres five times and always for one month! Their overall comments were 'by far the best villa we have stayed in and we have stayed in some of the best'.
Owner profile
Margaret and Mike at their home, Casa Miranda
About the owner
Margaret and Mike Lingwood moved to Salobrena from the UK with 3 young children in 1988 and have lived in Casa Miranda in the favoured Monte de los Almendros residential area since 1990. The photo shows us sitting on our window seat at home with Salobrena castle and the sea in the background. We chose Salobrena after looking for our new home all along the south coast of Spain in 1986. It was the only place we liked then and we plan to stay here! As well as our home we have two other villas on Monte de los Almendros that we rent out all year round, Las Vistas (S577) and Las Torres (S10780). We like the outdoor life and enjoy walking and cycling in the countryside around Salobrena and in the winter skiing in the Sierra Nevada.
Year purchased: 2007
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We looked for our new home all over southern Spain in 1986 and even then found most places too developed. Salobrena was a refreshing change then and still is now, truly Spanish, better climate, (cooler in summer and warmer in winter), close to the skiing and Granada and nowadays even easy to get to!
Unique benefits of the property
Las Torres was built in 2007 with help from Katie, our environmentally conscious architect daughter. We tried to give it a truly Spanish character (eg the old reclaimed roof tiles and internal plasterwork features copied from local cortijos) whilst building a property with all mod cons. The decoration and furnishing was the work of our interior designer friend Shane Williams of SW Designs. One English couple will be returning for their 4th & 5th month long visits this year (2010). The views are fabulous including the snow capped mountains of the Sierra Nevada which can be enjoyed in winter in this all year round comfortable villa with both air conditioning & underfloor heating! Ecologically very sound with pool & floor heating from solar & fruit trees irrigated by recycled drainage water!
