✍️ Description from the real estate agent

Step into a world of charm and history with this beautiful 11-room hotel, originally a flour mill, situated on the banks of the tranquil Guadiaro River in the Sierra de Grazalema. Carefully renovated by its owners and designers, the hotel seamlessly combines the building's historic architecture with modern comforts. This unique property retains its rustic charm while offering an elegant and peaceful retreat surrounded by lush gardens and natural landscapes, all just a short distance from top tourist destinations.

The Hotel: Arranged around a traditional Spanish courtyard, the hotel preserves the original water channels that once powered the mill, now flowing serenely beneath the structure. The ten beautifully decorated rooms each have private bathrooms; some offer river views, while others overlook the spacious shaded courtyard. A special room features a private balcony with river views, and there is also a family room with a loft containing two single beds. Additionally, there is a spacious open-plan apartment with a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and living area, which could be converted into a two-bedroom apartment for greater flexibility.

An independent residence for the owners or managers, located next to the courtyard, includes three bedrooms, a large living room, kitchen, and bathroom, ideal for managing the hotel or for private use.

Services and Amenities: The extensive central courtyard offers shaded common areas, including a reception, a game room, a cozy lounge with a wood-burning stove, and a charming dining room and bar. The fully equipped restaurant kitchen, along with staff facilities and storage areas, ensures that the property is well-prepared to operate as a successful hotel.

A traditional veranda surrounds the first floor, accessible from the courtyard, with elegant wrought-iron railings and arches. The dining room, with high beamed ceilings and a wood-burning stove, leads to a terrace ideal for outdoor dining with river views. A riverside terrace, accessible by a small staircase, offers a private space surrounded by greenery and views of the iconic Cueva del Gato.

Guests can also enjoy a generously sized swimming pool, surrounded by sun loungers and a covered area for dining and relaxation, all while taking in the impressive views of the surrounding landscape. From the gardens, oleander-lined paths lead to the river, offering perfect spots for swimming and direct access to the striking entrance of the Cueva del Gato, a spectacular underground river system in the mountains.

The Area: Located near the picturesque village of Benaoján, this hotel is the perfect base for exploring the stunning mountainous landscapes. The area is known for outdoor activities such as hiking, spelunking, and birdwatching. Visitors can also explore the charming “white villages” scattered throughout the region, each with its rich history and beautiful scenery. Nearby national parks, such as Sierra de Grazalema and Sierra de las Nieves, offer nature lovers the chance to discover the area's diverse wildlife and spectacular views.

This rare gem offers the opportunity to acquire a thriving hospitality business or an exquisite private estate in one of Spain’s most beautiful natural settings.
