Description
Old miller's house, located at the foot of the wall. It offers cozy rooms and dreamy outdoor spaces taking care of the smallest detail. It consists of three outdoor spaces and two floors of 45 square meters each: on the first floor is the living / dining room and an open kitchen that allows cooking and at the same time keep in touch with family and friends. Next to the living room, a typical entrance porch, with a beautiful Dutch wooden bench and table, becomes a fantastic outdoor dining area, where you can enjoy outdoor gatherings. Upstairs you will find the three bedrooms (two with double bed and one with two singles) and the beautiful bathroom with an antique stone sink. In front of the house, a garden of 60 square meters, attached to the porch and with native vegetation, connects, through a small private bridge over the waterfall, with a stately historic orchard full of plants, with 600 square meters of old washhouses, wooden tables and ancient trees where a comfortable double hammock swings. In the decoration, the original elements of the house have been preserved, such as the stone walls from the neighboring Fluvià river, the wooden beams and the terracotta floors. The wood, present in walls and furniture, along with natural fibers and a palette of brown and beige colors, creates a highly relaxed country atmosphere connected with the nature of its magical surroundings. On the walls you can find original engravings that refer to the rich past of the village and the activity of the flour mills, and on the other hand, old photographs of the historical environment where the cottage is located. The bedspreads, towels, cushions and curtains made of natural fibers such as linen, wool or cotton create a serene atmosphere typical of the houses of yesteryear. The interiors feature wooden, glass and metal furnishings, typical of a typical country house: demijohns, jugs, baskets and beveled mirrors stand out next to walls covered with traditional glazed ceramics. The mill is a true oasis of nature and tranquility just a few meters from the historic center with its spectacular Romanesque bridge, the narrow streets of the Jewish quarter, the medieval squares, a wide gastronomic offer and a privileged natural environment.
