The calmness of the countryside is what draws my husband and I to find hidden gems when planning our routes, on holidays. We came across this countryside manner in Andalucía that is an old restored 18th century mill. We drove from Seville to stay here for 2 nights before heading back to the city of Granada. We booked the suite because of the rooftop terrace that overlooks the gardens of the manner, which made it the perfect pre-drink spot just before sunset and dinner time. It was the perfect warm place to read our books if didn’t want to be at poolside. We ate dinner at the hotel in the evenings and during the day we explored towns nearby, such as Ronda.
