Facillities

Met veel zorg en aandacht zijn de molens in de traditionele stijl bewaard gebleven, maar ze bieden de gasten tegelijkertijd alle comfort die het moderne leven verlangt. Het complex is volkomen zelfvoorzienend qua energieproductie dankzij de zonnepanelen en door de waterkracht. In deze harmonieuze mix van traditie en moderniteit kunt u er zeker van zijn dat uw verblijf in onze molens een zo min mogelijk negatief effect heeft op de omgeving en een maximaal positieve uitwerking op u. De eigenaren nodigen de gasten uit gebruik te maken van hun woon- en eetkamer voor het ontbijt en op aanvraag wordt ook het diner geheel verzorgd. Koude winteravonden kunt u doorbrengen bij het knusse haardvuur en in de zomer kunt u buiten heerlijk barbecueën onder de pergola aan rustieke tafels en banken. Voor een authentiek terug naar de natuur-gevoel kunt u een duik nemen in ons ecologische zwembad.

Surroundings and activities

De molens liggen in het dorpje Leomil, in de oude provincie Douro, dat vooral bekend is om zijn met wijnranken begroeide valleien. De omgeving leent zich voor mooie wandelingen en, op verzoek, ezelritjes. Voor de gasten die het minder rustig aan willen doen zijn er mountainbikes beschikbaar.
