Why ? The gardens, the pool, the workshops, the open kitchens, the orchard. All this a stone’s throw from Sierra Nevada’s gorgeous treks. Half an hour drive from Granada and the same from the Mediterranean beaches. Then there is the village – Niguelas.. But I digress. Alquería de Los Lentos is located in the Lecrín Valley, in the village of Niguelas, some half an hour drive from Granada and half an hour drive from Mediterranean coast. It used to be a flour mill built in the 16^th century.
It has 7 very spacious and bright Suites equipped with all the modern comforts and decorated taking care of even the smallest detail. The rooms can accommodate 2, 3 or 4 people, all of them have a living room with fireplace, television, comfortable sofas, a full bathroom and most have their individual terrace. Rustic, in the best way.
In addition, Alquería de los Lentos offers its traditional food restaurant, with succulent Spanish cuisine with a twist, ( vegetarian options also available) the dining room, which acts as a museum of farming tools, and common use areas such as the pool with its own garden and jacuzzi, the terraces that are scattered throughout the property. , an interior patio with a fountain, an ecological garden, parking next to the accommodation and a wonderful corner such as the hamman, where guests can have tea and relax. In the library there is a fireplace with sofas and 3 fully equipped kitchens are there for the days when you feel like not dining out.
The village carries a very rich history, the past filtering itself in the present through its sites and monuments: meander around the romantic Mueller gardens, taste and learn about the olive oil at one of the most ancient almazaras ( olive mill) in southern Europe, awe at 13^th century abode or visit the Mudejar village church.
Best visited all year round. Dining options on site.
