Sometimes known as The Little Alhambra, La Molineta is a small hamlet of houses including two historic watermills on a hillside on the road between Frigiliana and Nerja. It has been lovingly restored by its English owner, a former diplomat, over a period of years and is set in colourful terraced gardens. There are 7 very special and charming houses or cottages, each of unique character, and all offering exceptional character and charm. La Molineta has been featured in several interior design magazines, including ´House & Gardens´ and ´Casa Vogue´.
Tumbling down a hillside, the houses are on different levels, and linked by a series of paths and steps passing through gardens filled with the colour of bougainvillea, hibiscus and geraniums. A feature of the gardens are the scented plants and fruit trees, including lemons, oranges, limes, grapes, apricots, avocados, pomegranates, figs and olives. These mature gardens provide a high degree of privacy for all the properties.
El Rosario
Probably one of the most beautiful and unusual houses in Andalucia is at the heart of the mill complex, (with the millrace still visible above) and is approached from a piazza, with its antique water trough, planted with vines, oranges and olives.
Internally there is an entrance hall and sitting room provided with satellite TV, CD player and wood burning stove. The spacious, well designed kitchen is well equipped and has an archway through to large Breakfast room. At the centre of the house is an impressive Great Hall with a high ceiling and a massive fireplace, this leads to a large, leafy patio for dining outdoors and on to the beautiful swimming pool (pool - 7m x 3m, shallow end 0.9m). Other pretty gardens and terraces lead off in all directions. The 4 bedrooms are upstairs - a double bedroom with its own secluded patio, en-suite bathroom and dressing area. The twin room and the second double bedroom have stunning views down the valley. The other twin room has views onto the garden. There are 2 more bathrooms and a laundry with washing and drying machines.
This is just a few steps up the path through the terraced gardens from the little piazza at the heart of La Molineta. A particularly romantic house - it curves along the hillside fronted by its sunny terrace garden, the path lined with cypress trees. The swimming pool is on the terrace below and has a fine view of a deep Mediterranean green valley. In a shady corner of the terrace outside the kitchen there is a dining table for al fresco meals. Enter the house from the terrace, into the living room which extends almost the length of the house forming a particularly pretty sitting room - with wood burning stove, satellite TV and CD player - with spacious dining area at the far end. Next to the dining area is the fully equipped fitted kitchen. Next to the kitchen is the laundry. A flight of open stairs at each end of the house leads up to the bedrooms - 1 twin, 1 double each with an en suite bathroom.
GARAGES
There are 3 large storage rooms / workshops / garages plus a further single and a double garage- which offer further scope for many uses.
