The Experience
Spot the sculpted doves set in a wafer-brick circle above the entrance gate and you know you’re in the right place: Gaucín is on one of the migratory routes between Europe and Africa and all around the village are hand-painted plaques of the birds that stop by. This old olive mill stands in the centre of the delightful bustling village, producing oil until 1967.
Most of the apartments have their own terraces (petit Dancaire’s Den does not), brightened by bougainvillea and scented by jasmine, lemons and limes. Reminders of the past – presses, millstones, storage jars – blend serenely with white arches and Moorish décor. Bedrooms vary in size and shape but all are pristine and striking, with good beds, crisp cotton and raw silk. The new terrace extension off the pool (heated from Easter to October) has shaded seating and fantastic views.
From the mill’s upper terraces you can gaze across the terracotta roofs to the Med and Morocco.

Eclectically decorated with tasteful and unique furnishings from afar and nearby. This six-storey old rambling former olive mill has a quirky layout – plenty of odd-shaped rooms with no two the same make this a delightful building in which to spend your holidays. Great for large groups as privacy can be sought after in one of a selection of private apartments.

This is a great place for people who love peace and comfort. The old beautiful city. The view from the balcony is so beautiful that you will never forget it. The cloud will be below you! Private pool, sun, fresh bread and jam from a local store. All apartments are created with a high sense of taste so that you will feel the work of the designer. No random things. Everything is very refined and neat. In the kitchen you will find everything you need. An ideal place to go with your family and take friends with you. Children play in the pool. You are sunbathing. What else do you need?

We have just spent a wonderful week in the beautiful Andalusian village of Gaucín staying at the magnificent Molino Del Carmen. The owner Pip was fantastic in keeping in touch during delays to our trip due to the pandemic and in reassuring us about our trip in August 21. On arrival Josefi gave us a lovely warm welcome and was on hand for anything we needed all week. The accommodation at Molino is stunning. We stayed in the largest house, Casa Abanico and it is an incredible house for a family to stay in. The amenities are first class. Just an amazing place and an amazing week!

We have just returned from a very enjoyable trip to Andalusia where we stayed this beautiful spot in this excellent apartment. Everything you would need was there, plus. The attention to detail, creating a Moorish romantic feel, made the trip so enjoyable. We would highly recommend this apartment and Alan, the owners father, who made us very welcome and gave us very valuable advice on places to visit in the area. Perfect any time of year. Highly recommended.

Location
The neighbourhood
From the house there are good walks and you can hike in the Los Alcornocales National Park. Wander to the central square, order a Tinto de Verano and spend time people watching. You'll find lots of excellent restaurants too, serving Andalusian dishes. A walk uphill will take you to Castillo del Águila, the Roman fort and there are good beaches a half-hour drive at Sabinillas or Sotogrande.
Local points of interest from Philippa Jenkins
- Join our Fiestas:dancing&celebrating for the pilgrimage of Santa Nino+Annual Art Gaucin festival+Ferria in August with flamenco,food&drink stalls+Processions of horses through the village+Traditional BBQs&Paellas+the re-enactment of Napoleon’s invasions!
- Gaucín has enjoyed a vast and chequered history for such a small town (its current population is around 2 000). The town's history starts in pre-historic times, and cave paintings from this time are still visible in Gaucín today.
- In and around Gaucín there is a selection of excellent restaurants offering typical Andalusian fare... In the central square of the town, one can sit and drink Tinto de Verano and watch the village go about its business.
- Walk up the hill to Castillo del Águila, the Roman fort. Inside you'll find the Santo Niño hermitage and the old hospital, with only a few ruins remaining of the latter structure, as well as Arabic fortifications.
- Visit the San Sebastián church in the village which dates back to 1487 or on the outskirts of the village, a Carmelite convent which was built in the eighteenth century over what used to be the Vera Cruz hermitage.
- Sunbathe and swim at the beaches of Sabinillas or Sotogrande- only 30 minutes away. Alternatively, get carried away kite-surfing in Tarifa - only one and a half hours away.

A beautiful setting with fantastic out of this world views from every window. Well equipped small house with lovely bedding and towels. We had excellent service we from a manager called Josephi, going out of her way to make us comfortable.
