About this property

Casa Shalimar - sitting on the rocks. Jump into the Mediterranean Sea!

Casa Shalimar is situated on the edge of the sleepy fishing village of La Herradura on the Costa Tropical, the warmest part of southern Spain. It is 70km east of Malaga in the province of Granada. Park at the top and then walk down many steps to the gates to the house. Open the front door and you are greeted with the feeling of being on a boat as all you can see is the Mediterranean. Change into your costume and jump from the rocks or use the steps into the sea. Snorkel and dive in the clear blue sea. It's claimed galleons from the Spanish Armada sank nearby and many divers search the seabed for gold coins. The house has lovely terraces overlooking the bay and a picturesque infinity pool. The property nestles on the rocks and is totally secluded. One can watch dolphins swimming and jumping in the bay and enjoy hours of snorkling from the luxury of one's own house. Casa Shalimar is decorated in an eclectic, shabby-chic style, with many paintings and unique decors (antique pots etc..) the house has been designed (and newly renovated) to a comfortable and Moroccan style home

The Place to be!!!
Si le paradis existe c’est cet endroit… La maison est sur la mer, plus proche ça ça n’existe pas. Les différentes terrasses avec sa végétation luxuriante donnent envie de s’installer pour toujours. On nous avait laissé des boissons et de la nourriture, bel accueil. Allez y vous tomberez sous le charme!

Paradise!
My expectations were very high for this rental, and they were exceeded! Stunning location, and so many wonderful sitting areas to gaze at the sea. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was extremely well stocked. Louise and her property manager Jackie were very helpful. There were plenty of things to do in the area, but we mostly rested relaxed, and enjoying cooking family meals together. My husband was nervous about all the steps to get down to the house, but even he said that it really was not a big deal. It's a charming meandering stone path with several landings to stop and rest. It was not at all an impediment, even for one member of our party who has a "tricky knee". I sure do hope I can return to Casa Shalimar again some day!

Fantastisch huis
Het huis staat op een fantastische locatie en in het huis is alles aanwezig wat je maar nodig hebt. Heerlijke grote slaapkamers met voor ieder een badkamer. Vooral leuk is het koude water en ijsklontjes uit de koelkast.

About the host

Hosted by Louise Öström

Host profile image
I'm a mother of 2 almost adult sons, I work hard, enjoys life and travel more than most people, I believe. All over the world. I simply fell in love with this amazing and very unique house. It's just different - has a soul to it. Not a super modern "cold" show-off house, but just very, very nice and different. I put a lot of energy in renovating it without losing the charm of the house and making sure it's it easy to be a guest in - when you only have a week or two, you want no hassle :-)

Why they chose this property

Nothing can compare! Being so close to the sea and simply be able to jump into it from the cliffs is very unique. You cannot build so close to sea anymore - it is a preserved area, but since it was build long before those rules were applied - it is allowed to be kept as is. Lucky me - and maybe lucky you too :-) ?

What makes this property unique

You will fall in love with it - just like I did.
