Description from owner

Description

La Mariposa apartment is fully equipped for self-catering and has been lovingly restored & finished to a high standard. It's mainly on one level although there are a short set of stairs at both entrances. The open plan kitchen & lounge turn a very rustic building into a modern feeling home whilst maintaining features like the slate floors, stone walls and wooden beams. There are 3 bedrooms, large living area with wood burning stove, bathroom & a wet-room with WC & roof terrace.

Molino Felix is a historic mill located alongside the river Gor lovingly renovated in to 3 separate rental accommodations each with their own patio or terrace. On the doorstep of the Sierra de Baza and within the Geoparque de Granada the surrounding landscapes are spectacular. Within easy access to the A92N you will be surprised how perfectly situated you will be for exploring this beautiful region of Andalucia. Whether it be an adventure holiday, a relaxing get-away or even looking for your dream home, Molino Felix is the ideal place to stay.

A mix of modern and rustic, the Mariposa has all you need to enjoy your stay and unwind.

There is a quadruple, a triple and a single bedroom, although one of the beds from the triple can be moved to the single bedroom if preferred.

You will have your own roof terrace with views over the river and the valley. You also have access to the shared gardens and pool with decking, sun loungers, trampoline, badminton or volleyball net and table tennis table. There are also separate areas within the spacious garden to relax and enjoy the outside space.

We are always pleased to help should you need us, especially with local advice and tips on where to visit.

The Sierra de Baza National Park is fantastic for wildlife lovers, with unique pine trees and vast array of birds. There is a visitors centre with information about walking trails and mountain bike routes to follow. Within the surrounding areas there are plenty of different types of adventurous activities such as go karting, quad biking, skiing and water sports on the nearby freshwater lake etc. We will be happy to help arrange any day trips you might like to enjoy.

Parking is free, you can either park on the road only a few steps from the door or in our designated off-road parking area. The nearest train and bus stations are at Guadix from where you can catch the daily bus or a taxi to get to Gor.

Great time enjoying the pool, and BBQing in the grounds. Days spent exploring the local beauty spots. Lake Negatin, Gaudix and Castril Gorge a must.

“Couldnt have chosen better if I tried!”

Reviewed 20 Sep 2012

After several different unforseen circumstances, I ended up travelling alone to Spain. Despite a couple of upsets before I even got to the apartment (completely unconnected to this booking) I finally arrived a day late. The owners of the apartment genuinely couldn't be more helpful, they're a lovely family and always more than willing to help with anything they can. Beautiful accommodation in a stunning location, which is ideal for any type of holiday as long as you want something peaceful and far from the madding crowd. Only about an hour's drive to the beach, but with lots more within a far shorter distance, it's a fantastic base if you want to explore. The local tapas bar is fabulous and traditional in that you get free tapas with every drink - who could ask for more?! I may well be returning for the ski season, excellent place run by lovely people.

“Beautiful place, lovely hosts!”

Reviewed 13 Aug 2012

When I found La Mariposa on this site I thought it looked really quaint and would make a lovely getaway for my partner and I, the reviews about Mark and Sam were all great too which encouraged me to book. When we arrived I have to say I was really surprised at just how beautiful the place was, the photos do not do it justice, Mark and Sam have done an incredible job renovating. The village is really nice, very traditional, and we went on some fantastic walks in Sierra Nevada which is only about 1 hours drive. All in all it was a lovely trip and we would happily go back. (have marked the directions as average as we drove there late at night and got lost, would probably just advise a sat-nav if you arrive in the evening and don't know the area)

“Great accommodation, village and hosts”

Reviewed 10 Aug 2012

Been meaning to write a review and us booking again reminded me. There are two lovely apartments, very clean, spacious and well equipped. Sam and Marc, the hosts, live onsite and are welcoming, available and helpful when you need them but unobtrusive. The village is very clean and unspoilt. All the other good reviews here are spot on and give you a feel of what's around the local area (I'm no good as a travel writer). The best recommendation I can give is that we stayed September 11 (recommended by someone else) and I've just booked for October 12 and also for August 13. Do yourself a favour and book but not too many times as I want availability for me lol, enjoy

“Relaxed, friendly, amazing value - what more can I say?”

Reviewed 3 Jun 2012

In a nutshell the place is amazing. Authentic character, spacious, warm (not sure what one of the previous reviewers was on about?!) and with the most amazing hosts. Available when needed, not at all intrusive if you didnt need them. It felt like being at home the whole time but with much better surroundings and such a pleasant location. So much better than being in a tacky location like Benidorm. The views are breathtaking, the local bar serves the best tapas (free of charge!) and you are only a 10 minute drive to a large city in case you need more activity or want to go on a shopping spree. We will definitly be back. Thank you Sam and Marc for an amazing holiday in your fantastic property.
