In such a peaceful, unspoiled area, the Old Mill serves as a fittingly tranquil retreat, far enough from the nearest village, Alájar, to feel in its own small world, yet close enough to walk (it takes just 15 minutes). Your charming hosts are Peter and Monica, an English-speaking couple from the Netherlands who know their adopted land well. The beautiful exteriors are matched by exquisite interiors where the attention to detail is astonishing. Patterned fabrics, hand-painted tiles, antique furniture and chestnut ceiling beams lend great character and charm to the cottages, while open fires and under-floor heating provides plenty of warmth if needed (small local charge for firewood).
