What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in AFAR.
Though many of its flour mills are no longer in use, one was reborn as the boutique hotel El Molino de Alcuneza.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Set along the quiet Henares River in rural Alcuneza, the property sits five kilometres from the medieval cathedral town of Sigüenza.
The rooms
Rooms inside the historic mill feature rustic wooden floors and hand-painted tiles, while garden annex suites offer extra space beside the pool.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The pool
Wooden loungers and white parasols line the lawn beside the seasonal pool, looking out over the open countryside.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Garden tables host Michelin-starred tasting menus centered on local river trout, wild game, and bread baked from ancestral grains.
How it began
The Moreno family acquired the abandoned fifteenth-century flour mill in 1992, carefully preserving its original masonry and antique timber framework.
