A family home with stunning views
About El Molino Viejo
Our largest villa, El Molino Viejo is a beautifully restored three-storey property sleeping up to 8 guests. With four spacious bedrooms each with their own bathroom, a large private pool, and breathtaking views across the valley to the sea, this is the perfect base for families and groups exploring Andalucía.
“The villa is even more lovely than the photos suggest, with plenty of space for a family including three teenagers.”
Looking for something smaller?
For couples or smaller groups, consider El Huerto (Sleeps 2) or El Pocito (Sleeps 4). El Pocito can add El Nido, the studio next door, for two more. See El Nido →

Good to know before you book
The pools are freshwater and treated with chlorine, not saltwater, and none of them is heated. Swimming is comfortable from late May to early October.
El Molino Viejo has steps, and none of our villas is wheelchair accessible. If anyone in your party finds steps difficult, get in touch before you book and we will tell you honestly what to expect.
Smoking and vaping are not permitted at the villas, indoors or outside.
We are not able to accommodate pets at any of the villas. It keeps the houses comfortable for guests with allergies.
We email full arrival instructions before your stay, including how to find the villa and how to collect the keys. Late arrivals are no problem, just let us know roughly when to expect you.

Guest reviews
“We had a fantastic stay as a family of 8 with a 3&5 year old. The separate pool was ideal with young children. It's quite a steep walk up to the villa and a car would be recommended, although we did work out the bus will stop near the bins at bar Molineta to get to Frigiliana & Nerja. Beautiful setting and views from the terraces. Would highly recommend for a relaxing holiday.”
“Our stay at Molino Viejo was wonderful. The villa is large, with plenty of room for everyone. The pool area is great for lounging, and the outdoor spaces were perfect for dining and relaxing. We loved the peaceful location and the beautiful views of the valley and mountains.”
“We had the most amazing holiday at Molino Viejo. The property is very well looked after and tastefully decorated throughout and Sam was very welcoming and helpful on our arrival. Molino Viejo was very comfortable for our family of 7 and had everything we could wish for. The grounds are also immaculately maintained as was the pool. The location just out of the town was perfect for us and the views from the pool were stunning. It was a very restful holiday. We all loved it. We were so delighted we have booked again already!”
“My grandmother found this place in 1965: a walled hamlet, in ruins. … She was a painter and some of her paintings still hang in El Molino Viejo.”
