El Cortijo at Molino la Ratonera

We arrived after midnight because our flight was delayed by nine hours, and Petra was still there to welcome us warmly. Rene, Saskia and Petra made us feel at home, and we wish them every success. It's wonderfully peaceful: we enjoyed morning walks through the olive groves, lazy afternoons reading by the pool, and the fantastic night sky. We spent a night in Seville and visited Cordoba. On our last stay we went to Granada, so being able to visit all three on one holiday shows what a good location this is. For peace and quiet, this place is amazing.

From La Palomera, we could look out over olive trees, hear the creek, and see the stars. The place is beautiful and quiet, and our accommodation had everything we needed. We even found that the baby monitor we'd brought from home reached the pool, so we could swim while our daughter napped. Granada was easy to visit from here, and there are lovely white Andalusian towns nearby too. It's a great base for relaxing and taking a few outings. René, Saskia and Petra were lovely and went out of their way to welcome us. We'd absolutely recommend staying here.

For a peaceful holiday away from it all, you can't get much more tranquil than this place. Rene, Saskia and Petra were outstanding hosts, and nothing was too much trouble. They drove us into town to shop, arranged train tickets, and cooked a wonderful meal that we shared with their family, including Rene and Saskia's lovely daughter, who was home for a holiday and helping out. Highly recommended!

The old mill has been restored with real taste, and each house has its own private terrace where you can take in the natural surroundings. It's set in beautiful, unspoiled countryside, so quiet that all you hear is nature. Make sure to have a meal with Kirsten and Iwan. Kirsten is a great cook, and her quiche was lovely.
