The mill
This holiday home is an antique mill of 112 m2 from the 18th century. It has a rustic charm with hand-moulded, irregular tiles and a spring that gurgles out of the rock in the house. Antique tools hang on the walls. The thick stone walls ensure a pleasantly cool climate inside the house, even without air conditioning.
This is not a modern comfort holiday home. Please note that water is constantly running in the house. Please only book if you are happy with this.
On the upper level, the mill offers a spacious living room with five single beds, a bathroom with a small bathtub and a bedroom with a double bed.
On the lower level is the kitchen with washing machine, another bathroom with a small bathtub, an alcove behind a curtain with another double bed and a single bed, a dining area with a wood-burning stove and a stone water basin into which fresh water from the mill's own spring flows directly from the rock. Another single bed is located under the wooden staircase next to the dining table.
In the cooler seasons, we use Nordic duvets instead of the sheets and blankets commonly used in Spain, as the former are more comfortable for many guests.
The warmth of the wood-burning stove means that the mill is cosy even in winter. The mill can accommodate a total of 11 adults in two double beds and seven single beds.
From the basement, a door leads to the large east-facing terrace with a vine-covered pergola. This offers a wonderful view of the wooded valley. From here you can greet the rising sun. In the afternoon, when it gets hot in summer, the terrace is pleasantly shaded and often enjoys a light, cooling breeze.
The pool, which the mill shares with the other holiday homes on the property, also promises to cool you down. We ask that you wash off sun cream, cosmetics and sweat before using the pool so that we can minimize the use of chlorine.
Use of the pool is at your own risk. Please take care of your children! Do not let the children go to the pool alone and supervise them while swimming.
The boiler for hot water and the hob are powered by gas bottles. When a cylinder runs out, guests can change it themselves. Gas bottles are available for changing on the terrace under the boiler. We are happy to help you change them.
The property is located in the countryside outside the white village of Algatocín. There is a lively nature here with many insects and other animals. We recommend keeping food that attracts insects in the fridge and always washing tables and worktops well, otherwise ant trails will develop through the house within hours.
Environmental protection is important to us, so we try to avoid using poison as far as possible. In the houses there are mosquito nets on the windows and ultrasonic devices for the power socket to keep insects and rodents away. Despite these measures, it can sometimes happen that mosquitoes, ants or wasps enter the house.
Please only book if you have read the description of the houses and the surrounding area carefully, have made a conscious decision to stay in the countryside and agree to the liveliness that comes with it.
