El molino está en un entorno inmejorable. Es un lugar de cuento. Genial para estar tranquilos en medio de la naturaleza. José Francisco nos esperó a la llegada y nos enseñó todo lo necesario para nuestra estancia, nos regaló una botella del delicioso zumo de manzana que hacen en la granja. Gracias a que no había cafetera en la casa hemos podido disfrutar del café de Adriano, dueño del bar del pueblo que está a pocos minutos caminando. Adriano es encantador y nos ha cuidado como si fuéramos familia, al igual que ha hecho Fernanda estando pendiente de nuestra familia. La zona de arriba de la casa tiene un sofá cama bastante cómodo, en él hemos dormido mi pareja, mi hijo y yo. No hemos usado la parte de abajo para dormir porque olía a humedad y la cama no era suficientemente cómoda. Las pequeña piscina con la sombra de la higuera y las vistas a los campos de maíz es perfecta para refrescarse y relajarse. (Review of Clara family, ES)
