Villa Mar Azul is a beautiful house on the hillside above Salobrena. It has been designed so that the wonderful views can be seen from the huge windows in the living areas and the main bedrooms. There are also many outside spaces (both in the shade and in the sun) where you can sit and relax as well as a heated pool and a hot tub. The kitchen is very well appointed with everything you can think of and the whole house is furnished like this: large bathrooms with soaps and towels, extensive storage in the bedrooms, and games, books, cds and travel information. Fast wi fi. Even rugs in case you want to sit outside in the evening and it is a bit chilly. The whole house is very comfortable and has both air conditioning and heating which was important to us as we went in March. In fact the weather was beautiful and we needed neither, although we chose to pay to have the pool heated and it was and excellent decision as it was even warm enough for me and I feel the cold! The house is in a very attractive quiet area with off street, secure parking. I would say that you need a car. The town of Salobrena is an ancient one with a castle on the hill and a more modern development along the coast. Eating out is not expensive and it is under an hour to go to Granada, half an hour to Nerja (bigger town) and Frigiliana (a pretty hillside town). The whole area ('Costa Tropical') is much less developed than the Costa del Sol and we did not see any nightclubs, 'pubs' or places selling 'English Breakfast'. In fact, during our ten days , we only heard a couple of English tourists - most people were Spanish. However the restaurants usually have menus in English (and often French and German too). If you want more of the 'real' Spain, this is the place for you. We greatly enjoyed our time at the villa and hope to return soon.
