Nestling against a backdrop of hills between Nerja (4km) and Frigiliana (1km), La Molineta is a 300 year old watermill in a small hamlet of houses within a surrounding wall, and has recently been declared a ‘Protected Property of Outstanding Attraction’ by the Spanish authorities. Lovingly restored over the last 40 years, each of the 5 houses has its own individual character and furnishings, much superior to the usual holiday villa. It has been featured in several interior design magazines and the larger houses in particular are furnished with antiques, fine paintings and other works of art.
The houses are entirely private from each other and are on different levels, linked by a series of steps and pathways. The beautiful terraced gardens are a special feature of La Molineta and are full of colour, scented shrubs and fruit trees. Each has its own private garden, BBQ and terrace, as well as their own private swimming pools. Wood burning stoves are provided for cooler evenings. The houses can be booked individually by couples or families, or 2 or more houses can be taken together by a larger party.
There is ample parking to one side of the hamlet.
El Rosario (or The Mill House) is one of the most beautiful and unusual homes in Andalucia, this 18th century house is exceptionally spacious, with several terraces and balconies and a unique, lofty, cool summer living room with a grand fireplace, from where patio doors lead onto a shaded terrace and the swimming pool (7m x 3m, depth 0.9m to 1.7m), sun terraces and private garden. There is also a more formal lounge with satellite TV and CD player, a large kitchen with microwave, washing machine, tumble dryer and dishwasher, and an enclosed dining terrace. Upstairs are 2 twin and 2 double bedrooms (all with ceiling fans), 2 full bathrooms and a further shower room. The master bedroom has its own terrace, from where steps lead down through the garden to the pool and BBQ. The house is generously embellished with many beautiful works of art from the Near and Far East, as well as important works by the English artist Cedric Morris.
