General Info |
|
| |
There are six houses on site, each sleeping from two to six people, with terraces for outdoor dining in spring or summer and fireplaces for cozy winter evenings. A short walk from your cottage, along country lanes lined with stone walls, takes you to the pretty village of Alájar with its white houses and winding, cobbled streets. Some of the bars and restaurants stand out for their cosiness and character. High above the cluster of white houses towers la Peña de Arias Montano, a craggy cliff with a sixteenth century hermitage set on its peak. |

What visitors have said about Molino Rio Alájar |

We had a lovely time, and got a lot more out of our holiday than we could have imagined. Our lack of Spanish made us feel vulnerable, and we were grateful for the help we were given, especially with the lovely restaurant in the next village, and the walking guide. Hope to be back again.

We had an absolutely wonderful time in Alájar! Loved the accommodation and the countryside was absolutely stunning - we enjoyed numerous long walks. Not to mention the ham...!
Thanks again - we're definitely hoping to return to the Molino in the future.

We stayed there with 3 children and would like to add our congratulations. High quality tourist accommodation. Ideal for relaxing, walking, reading.. Total tranquillity. A beautiful sierra region in a surprisingly pleasant province.
