Immaculate restored mill surrounded by nature close to traditional village

This property is a converted olive oil mill. Beautiful, spacious and luxurious on many different levels! The setting is lovely with extensive views across olives groves and cork oak trees. Great for nature and with local hiking right on the doorstep. The Old Mill is very well equipped including items for babies and young children. Visitors should be aware that the property may not be suitable for those who are not ‘fleet of foot’ due to the many flights of stone steps and the distance between house and pool. Our family had a truly enjoyable and memorable holiday and would certainly consider another stay in the future."

Thank you very much for letting us rent this beautifully restored and renovated mill. It’s now a fantastic luxurious villa with everything that we needed for an excellent holiday. The location is superb. It’s only about 15 mins walk from the town center but still in a very quiet and secluded area in the nature park. We’ve seen the black pigs but also storks and vultures close to the villa. We’ve been around to the small villages, lunch in Portugal, seen caves, been on the Rio Tinto mining train and seen the mines. Joined the festival with the locals and been on the ham and wine guided tour in town. We’ve loved it all. However, we enjoyed even more the times in and around the pool or eating our own foods by one of the beautiful dining tables inside or out, prepared in the extremely well-equipped kitchen. The kitchen is fantastic and really made for cooking – at the same time big enough to have the whole family present - either helping or just keeping company and enjoying a drink. There were 8 of us (two families) and we had ample space with the villa’s 5 bedrooms (4 double and 1 single). All the bedrooms have own bathroom. The support by the owner, Nick, and the local support by Lola, was perfect. They were always ready to answer our questions and very helpful with any queries we might have. Everything in the villa was high quality, making the holiday very relaxing but also aesthetically pleasing for the eyes and soul. We can highly recommend renting this beautiful property through Rustical Travel."

The location is excellent - close to Jabugo and yet on its own with great views. The area (Jabugo, Cortegana, Aracena etc) is very interesting and authentic. Food in the restaurants is a little samey and would not work for someone who does not like pork! The villa is very well built and equipped and it is huge. The main drawback is the stairs. With bedrooms on different levels, mainly below the kitchen, the climb can be long. The pool is superb but again the climb (80m uphill) is not easy in August heat. I know the pool was recently put in but a path would be nice as the loose dirt on the present track is not safe. A loo down by the pool would be a welcome addition. The terrace is small and the view is obscured, when sitting down, by the high wall. I have just concentrated on some minor negatives. I have already rebooked for next year. It is a lovely place and the owner clearly looks after the villa beautifully."

We were extremely impressed by Rustical Travel's efficient administration and professionalism. Our house manager was exceptional, extremely friendly and helpful and kept us appropriately informed of all necessary maintenance eg.pool cleaning, without being intrusive. The house itself provided the quintessentially perfect luxury Spanish getaway. Spectacular views from every terrace, extremely well equipped, fabulously spacious with well designed decorative details in every room. It really is a very special place."
