Overview
The cottage is one of six quality, award-winning Aracena holiday homes set here and there in an expanse of cork oak and chestnut forest, amidst spectacular mountain scenery.
This is top quality accommodation in a gorgeous retreat in the Sierra de Aracena and just 15 mins from Aracena town itself. The villa is ideal for people on private holidays who don’t mind greeting others now and then, but who value their intimacy and independence.
The totally tranquil natural environment is a mountain retreat with more than just a touch of class. It’s a place to relax, read, go on long walks and, above all, to enjoy the comforts of your country home.
The estate is spread out over a large area and the houses are set well part to allow a full measure of privacy.
The cottage is built on raised ground above the river bank, ensuring excellent views are of the surrounding hills and the green valley. It is made from local stone, fitted out and decorated to high standards. It is spacious, light-filled and superbly furnished. Bedrooms have solid wood ceilings and the bathroom is beautifully tiled.
The children's bedroom is up a banistered wooden staircase in a safe gallery above the main double bedroom.
It has a furnished terrace vith views for outdoor dining. Underfloor heating plus an open log fire make the cottage a good winter holiday choice, too.
Central in the estate is a shared common room: a very comfortable, sitting and dining room and a table football, that is open to everyone staying here.
Guests also share use of a swimming and a splendid tennis hard court, set in delightful natural surroundings. Please bring your own tennis equipment.
Additional optional facilities include bicycle hire, donkey rides, Spanish guitar and Spanish language classes and babysitting. Please ask us if you wish to take up any of these opportunities, as some may need booking well in advance.
The Sierra de Aracena y Picos de Aroche is an unbeatable natural area of southern Spain and this particular corner is very special. Relaxation, river walks, visual splendour and gastronomic satisfaction are just a few of the attractions. The hospitable facilities provided by the friendly owners include vegetables from their market garden and tips for the best restaurants in charming little Alajar village, whose whitewashed houses and cobbled streets are only a short walk away.
Alajar village is a delightful 20 mins stroll away. It’s a quiet, attractive village with good restaurants. Interesting excursions will take you to the Peña, or cliff, above Alajar and further afield to Rio Tinto (ride the train through the old mines), Almonaster La Real (visit the mosque within the castle) and Jabugo village (for superlative Iberian cured ham).
For a special day out and a city experience, you have exuberant Seville 90 mins away, Andalucia’s capital and one of the most attractive cities in Spain. Seville Airport is the closest, followed by Jerez, and Faro in Portugal.
Otherwise, exploring the beautiful Sierra de Aracena with its wild flowers in spring and excellent edible mushrooms in autumn.
The English, Dutch and Spanish-speaking owners live on site and are available to answer your questions and help with local arrangements.

YOUR REVIEWS
We had the loveliest week’s holiday in Molino Rio. The property and location were exellent. As was Vanessa who was very friendly and helpful. We would recommend the welcome dinner (prepared by Vanessa - Thank you). It was nice to spend time on the site, relaxing in the shade, swimming and playing table tennis. We liked being able to walk up to the village for shopping. We didn’t go to a supermarket once! But you need to be careful with shop opening times in the village. Information and admin prior to the stay was also good . Thanks"
