Mill Cottage is a comfortably furnished, fully equipped and carefully restored olive mill in rural Andalucia. Many of the original features such as the beamed ceilings and terracotta tiled floors have been preserved and it now has a modern kitchen and comfortable bedrooms with en-suite facilities. There is large heated swimming pool below and the extensive terraces have fine views of El Torcal and the surrounding hills. The Mountains of Malaga can be seen in the distance and the Campanillas River runs below the house. Here you can stroll along the bank, watch the turtles and listen to the frog chorus or walk further into the beautiful surrounding countryside. (We provide information on local walks.) It is an ideal site for a relaxing holiday and, being a short drive from the motorway network, it is an excellent base from which to explore Andalucia 

You will find everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable holiday. The cottage is centrally heated and there are air conditioners in the spacious bedrooms, which also have room for a cot. The kitchen has everything you would expect including a dishwasher and a microwave and the utility room has a washing machine and a second fridge. Both fridges have freezing compartments.

There is a hotel and a bar/restaurant within a 5 minute drive of the house and another one at nearby Pastelero, a 10 minute drive down the track (or an hour or so’s walk if you feel energetic). Most days you can find a local market somewhere in the area. The Torcal Natural Park, with its famous limestone scenery is ten minutes drive away and the Mountains of Malaga and the El Chorro gorge are within easy driving distance.

Review submitted by non-Villarenters customer: October 2006 A magic place. We are so impressed by the 'grand design' of Torcal Vista. This place casts a spell. It will be hard to drive away and leave it - Linda and Phil
November -06-May07 We can't believe how quickly the time has flown over this first winter of our retirement. What a lovely way to spend six months. We will miss the views, goat bells, the heron and your company. Lots of love - Lyn and Pete
