Los Molinos Del Rio - Overview

This wonderful restored Mill is tucked away in the traditional Spanish Village of Saleres.

Property Description

The property was originally two Mills, an Olive Mill and a Flour Mill but have now been joined together and beautifully restored to make a tranquil holiday home retaining the old features with modern comforts, 4 en suite bedrooms and a large private pool. This is a unique opportunity to stay in a very unusual property with lots of space and character.

Local Information

Saleres is one of the quietest and most unspoilt of the villages that are dotted around the hillsides and mountains of this area between Granada, the Sierra Nevada and the coast.

There are no shops or restaurants in the village, but there is a market in the main square and visiting traders of different kinds - the baker, the fish man and vegetable van and all sorts. The larger villages of Albunuelas and Restabal, with their shops, bars, restaurants and banks are only 5 minutes drive away.

The nearest beach is about 40 minutes drive away as is the historic city of Granada and the Alhambra Palace. Nearby is the enormous fresh water lake of Beznar with its many pretty picnic spots and the picturesque villages and awe inspiring mountains of the Alpujarras.

On the coast there is the horseshoe bay of La Herradura with its bustling beach restaurants, snorkeling and the busy, sandy beach with crystal clear waters at Nerja with many beach-side restaurants.

Further afield is the scenic coastline of the National Park, Cabo de Gata and wide expanses of deserted sandy beaches. Excellent walking, horse riding, cycling, tennis, diving, paragliding and a great base for snow skiing or snow boarding at the excellent ski resort of Sol y Nieve in the spectacular mountains of the Sierra Nevada, only about an hour's drive away from the Lecrin Valley, December - April.
