Stay in Historic mill with pool, 1h from Marbella

Step into a piece of living history at this former olive oil mill, where massive grinding stones and original equipment tell stories of over a century of production. The building's transformation from a working mill (powered first by mules, then electricity after 1939) into elegant accommodation preserves its authentic character while offering you modern comfort in the white mountain village of Gaucín. Your self-catering property combines spacious interiors with classical styling, creating a serene retreat where bougainvillea cascades and historical features blend seamlessly with contemporary living. The accommodation's thoughtful design honours the building's heritage whilst providing everything you need for a comfortable stay. Guests also have access to a beautiful shared pool and sun terrace, complete with sun loungers and a rainforest-style shower. The pool is heated from Easter to October, making it perfect for a relaxing dip for much of the year in this peaceful mountain setting. Positioned above quiet cobbled streets, you'll enjoy panoramic views stretching across mountains to Gibraltar and the Mediterranean, with the coast of North Africa visible on clear days. The village setting offers authentic charm away from typical tourist routes. Your location puts beaches within 25 minutes' drive, whilst Ronda awaits 35 minutes away. Locally, you'll find hiking trails, horse riding, padel courts, and traditional tapas bars. Whether you're exploring nearby villages or relaxing by the pool, this peaceful corner of Spain offers the perfect balance of activity and tranquillity.
