Hotel Molino del Puente is a renovated 17th Century olive oil and flour mill which took 2 years of hard toil to complete. Many artefacts from the building´s time as a working mill still remain, including an original olive press in the restaurant. The aim was to retain much of the building´s original charm, and combine it with modern features and stylish decor. The gardens are built on two terraces with fruit trees, leading down to a beautiful waterfall giving the restaurant its name "La Cascada."
The hotel first opened its doors to guests in 2005 and quickly gained a reputation for excellent food, stunning rooms, picturesque gardens and warm, friendly service. Elaine Love says: " We really wanted to create somewhere special for people to stay with a top class restaurant. It was hard work but we prefer to think of it as a "labour of love"as it was so worthwhile. We have recently added three new rooms which are receiving rave reviews and the restaurant is busier than ever."
If Griffon Vultures, otters or turtles float your boat, take a walk on the wild side and discover a wealth of wildlife close to the hotel. Otters can be seen cavorting in the river beside the Molino del Puente while turtles jostle for position and warm their shells on the best "sunbathing rocks" in the stream. If twitching is more your thing, Ian has become quite knowledgeable of most of the species we have nesting along the river, most noteably kingfishers, Nightingales and the Occasional Golden Oreal.
The couple built up an enviable reputation on the Costa del Sol for creating mouth-watering and creative European cuisine in a highly competitive market. Having transported their hospitality skills to Ronda, La Cascada restaurant is now a top-class eaterie in its own right and allows Ian and Elaine to share their passion for fine wines, innovative food and "all things good" with their guests. La Cascada continues to receive top reviews for its delicious food and recommended local wines.
