description
Surrounded by a beautiful landscape, this historical mill has been completely renovated and restructured into 6 spacious apartment for a total of 22 people. Already established 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 impressive building is pefect for various families or groups of friends wishing to spend holidays together - whilest each having their own private space. Every apartment is well equipped, and tastefully decorated, each with it's own theme (like for example the aprtment "El Africano" has various african style furniture and decoration and the "el Hindú" has used a lot of Indian fabric in its decoration). Each apartment has its own kitchen (fully equipped with microwave, kettle, toaster and coffee machine), dining room, lounge with satellite tv and private terrace. For group gatherings and dinners together with the other guests, there is a special joint lounge with kitchen available for everyone to spend time together if they so wish.
All the bedrooms have 2 beds each that can be prepared as doubles on request as this offers more flexibility for each group. Of all 8 spacious bathrooms, 1 has a bath and the rest have showers.
The distribution of the apartments is as follows: Ref. V160 (please click on the link to see details of this specific apartment) has 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom. Ref. V161 has 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom.
Ref. V162 has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Ref. V163 has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. Ref. V212 has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Ref. V213 has 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom.
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 area with plenty of garden furniture to accommodate all guests.
As this villa has a fishpond and some staircases it might not be the perfect option for small children. Please contact us to clarify.
