A Touch of Olive

Found on seventeen acres of land, this former mill house is now a gateway to the whitewashed town of Arcos de la Frontera. The beamed ceilings and exposed stone walls are a welcome reminder of what the home used to be, but the waterwheel in the dining room and millstream in the garden are what truly pays homage to its history. Not everyone may fall in love with the rusticness, but the house is roomy and sunny, and with two separate casitas, the whole family can have their own private space. Children will love the matura woodland garden and swimming pool, whilst adults will appreciate drinks and alfresco dining on the shaded terrace.

Home truths:
*While one of the bedrooms and some of the bathrooms aren’t photographed, we expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
*There's an unfenced millstream, lake and swimming pool in the garden. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised.
*The bedrooms in the main villa are only accessible via stairs, which won't be the best option for those with reduced mobility. Two of the bedrooms can be found in annexed buildings.
*There's no wi-fi connection here, so it might not be suitable for those having to catch up on work.
*We suggest hiring a car for ease – there's private parking available here.
*Though there isn't air-conditioning, ceiling fans can be found in the bedrooms on warmer nights.
