description
Located amidst beautiful landscape, this historical mill has been completely renovated and restructured into 6 spacious apartments (please see V160-163 and V213). Already settled during the Roman era, the mill began producing flour in the 18th century and also played an important role during the Spanish Civil War. The mill was in active use until 1974, and the new owners spent much of the past few years renovating and rebuilding the property.
This beautiful, 150m2 apartment was unveiled recently and features a luxurious interior décor. It owes its name "el Africano" to the fact that all of the furniture and decorative elements are from Africa. The spacious living and dining room has satellite TV and an open-plan kitchen (equipped with a microwave, coffee maker, electric kettle and toaster). The living room leads out to a private terrace overlooking a goldfish pond. There are 2 lovely bedrooms, both furnished with twin beds that can also be prepared as doubles, and 2 bathrooms with showers.
The house is surrounded by a garden that stretches out as far as the eye can see, crisscrossed by paths that are perfect for pleasant walks. The many shade-giving trees are an irresistible invitation for reading and relaxing. There is a large fishpond directly in front of the terrace, and the lovely swimming pool (12 x 3.5m) is just 100m further away and nestled into an idyllic setting: next to the large expansive lawn with deck chairs stands an enormous, almost cave-like rock that provides plenty of shade on hot days. This area also has a charming pavilion and a pretty BBQ-grill spot along with plenty of garden furniture to accommodate all guests.
Unfortunately, the fishpond is not fenced in at the moment, which means that we CANNOT recommend this property for children under 8 years of age - if you need further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
It is an ideal spot for all sorts of nature activities, sports or to simply enjoy the wonderfully pleasant Spanish climate. Culturally speaking, the area also has lots to offer, please see our list of tips below. Furthermore, the owners of the Riudabella castle (please see Ref. V55), located just 3km from here, are more than happy to provide guests with a private tour through the glorious castle halls.
This villa has a swimming pool.
