El Molino del Conde, Malaga, Andalucia, Spain

Set in the tranquil hills and olive groves of rural Andalucia near the lovely lake Iznajar, El Molino is a large country house where all generations can enjoy family holidays or celebrate special birthdays and anniversaries in the sun.

El Molino also provides a peaceful and inspiring venue for courses - which have recently included Creative Writing, Watercolour Painting, Yoga and Pilates.

El Molino has been lovingly restored to retain all the character of the old mill and ensure a high level of comfort. There are high beamed ceilings, well equipped kitchens, comfortable bedrooms and large luxurious bathrooms. 6 of the bedrooms are in the main house, with a further 4 across the courtyard, allowing for space and privacy for everyone within a large group. The courtyard bedrooms in La Casa del Molino are all on the ground floor.

Outside, you'll find fresh eggs from the chickens, pomegranate, fig and almond trees, and you can help yourselves to fresh herbs from the kitchen garden. Relax on the sun terraces, cool off in the swimming pool, eat al fresco in the large shaded dining areas or picnic spots next to the stream, sit in the vine-covered courtyard and wander in the large grounds where children can run around safely.

El Molino del Conde has a multi-sports court - an attractive area the size of a 3/4 size tennis court also suitable for badminton and volleyball - and an indoor heated studio suitable for Pilates, yoga, art classes and indoor cinema.

El Molino makes the perfect celebration venue, ideal for groups and extended family holidays, with plenty on offer in the surrounding area for all ages. Granada, Seville, Cordoba, Ronda, Malaga, the beaches of the south coast and the Sierra Nevada with its wonderful walking areas and wintertime skiing are all easily accessible on good motorway connections.
