Our beautiful old millhouse is located amongst the olive groves on a south facing hillside 3Kms from the pretty whitewashed village of Riogordo in the region of Axarquia. This small and unspoilt area of Andalucia –to the north east of Malaga - is still a well kept secret. Untouched by mass tourism, and surrounded by National Parks it is designated an area of outstanding natural beauty between the Sea and Sierras. Only 20 minutes to the Mediterranean coast, and 40 minutes to Malaga international airport. Due to good motorway connections, Granada and Antequera can be reached in 1 hour, Cordoba and Seville in 2 hours. Lake Vinuela is 10 mins by car. The village of Riogordo is five minutes away by car where most grocery items may be purchased as well as freshly baked bread. Fresh fish, four butcher's and two banks. Wednesday there is a street market. There is a good choice of local restaurants and bars near by, as well as dozens to choose from at the coast, catering for all tastes.

Review Submitted: December 6, 2007 Date of Stay: December 2007
Mr.G.A. of Oxford.-
We all had a marvelous time. The weather was hot, the sky was blue, the house and pool were fantastic and the locals great.
Mrs.J.T. of Chester.-
We have had a wonderful holiday at your house. It certainly is in a splendid location, Lovely countryside and very peaceful. We made full use of the lovely swimming pool and shady areas, and bathed ourselves in the tranquility of the location! The house itself was one of the best we have ever stayed in, and it will certainly be
added to our 'places to visit again' list.
Mrs S.H. of East Lothian.-
We had a wonderful holiday, and found La Molina the perfect place to relax. The house and grounds are lovely and the pool fantastic. Hopefully we'll be back soon.

A delightful hideaway!

Judi & David Somerset
Review Submitted: March 12, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2008
La Molina is a gem. Beautifully restored (keeping a lot of original features), with a lovely garden & pool and beautiful views. Well maintained, clean and comfortable - and Heather & Tony were most helpful.
Its location is off the beaten track, so the house is very peaceful and private, but it's only about 10 mins drive to Rio Gordo for a reasonable selection of food shops.
Velez-Malaga is about half an hour away for supermarkets etc. (Do stop off at Lake Vinuela on the way!)
We so enjoyed our week in August 2008 that we will definitely be returning this year!

Review Submitted: March 11, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2008
We highly recommend this villa. We have stayed here at least 3 times and keep returning for more.The owners are very friendly and helpful, the location a fantastic escape with 360 degree views of beautiful countryside although if you want the town and beach they are only a 20 minute drive away. The accomadation is lovely and we hold many special memories sunbathing by the large ,clean pool.
