The Olive Mill Aparthotel

The Olive Mill is an adults-only Aparthotel for couples and ladies. Quietly nestled in the countryside not far from the coast, it has a large swimming pool, shaded gardens and mountain views. With only two self contained cottages, your privacy, peace and quiet is assured.

The large garden has lots of places to sit out; in the sun beside the large Roman-end pool, or in the shade under the old pine trees. Whichever you choose there are views of the fields and mountains. At the right time of year the scent of the orange and lemon blossom is breathtaking.

Although the cottages are nominally self-catering, hosts Heather and Richard are happy to indulge you with seasonal dining Al Fresco. During this time they also provide a full poolside bar service including, wines and cocktails. Breakfast is available all year.

The position of The Olive Mill is quiet and peaceful, far from the rush and noise of the big resorts. Yet a drive to the coast takes less than an hour where you can visit to amazing Mar Menor, or Torrevieja, or many other little places in between. Towns to visit include Alicante, Elche and Murcia, all with their own special sights to see. Or stay inland and pop in to some typical Spanish villages and maybe use the hotel bikes to travel around.

Overall, The Olive Mill lends itself to relaxation, therefore guests often choose to stay home and enjoy doing nothing! 

Meals

Bar and dining services available from June to September inclusive when you can choose to self-cater or mix & match. An extensive menu of fresh home cooked food is available from your hosts and enjoy drinks from the Liquid Lounge bar. Why not try a refreshing jug of Richard's Sangria hosting a perfected recipe he refuses to share!  

The evening menus are tastefully varied to cater for everyone and guests who may have specific dietary requests. Is there anything finer than enjoying a relaxing dinner just listening to the sound of silence while the sun sets?

From October to May occasional dining can be offered and is served at your cottage. Breakfast is available all year.
