Historic 18th-Century Watermill – Transformed into an Authentic Country Villa Full of Character

Nestled among lush greenery and timeless stone walls lies this extraordinary property – a beautifully restored 18th-century watermill, lovingly converted into a serene and elegant country residence. Here, heritage and modern comfort meet in perfect harmony.

A Home with Soul and Story

Behind the rustic façade, this home reveals a warm and timeless atmosphere where every space tells a story. Original architectural elements from the old mill have been preserved, while natural materials such as lime-plastered walls, exposed wooden beams, and handcrafted doors give the house an authentic Mediterranean charm.

Inside, a sense of calm sophistication prevails. The inviting living room with its fireplace provides a perfect setting for quiet evenings, while the kitchen – with its rustic woodwork and artisanal details – captures the essence of simple elegance and craftsmanship.

A Garden that Breathes Life

The old watercourse from the original mill still flows gently through the garden, creating a tranquil and enchanting outdoor environment. Stone paths and terraces wind between mature trees and vibrant greenery, while the private courtyard – complete with a natural stone table and cozy seating areas – offers an idyllic space for dining and relaxation under the open sky.
