Hotel El Moli

A small hotel by the river in Catalonia

---

The Hotel-Restaurant at El Moli occupies a wonderful position on the bank of the river Muga, where the waters flowing down from the Pyrenees provide a verdant countryside blessed with typically warm Spanish weather. The ancient flourmill dating from the 17th century is an impressively large edifice, with thick stone walls and large vaulted ceilings. It fell into disuse in the 1960s and was brought back to life by Pere Lladó in the 1980s. Pere and his family dedicated four years to the careful restoration, transforming the mill into a warm and friendly restaurant and hotel where guests are made to feel truly welcome.

The terrace and gardens lead down to the river, with lots of space for reading, sunbathing, relaxing and fervently doing nothing. Inside, the stone walls provide a rich, warm, natural ambience to the rooms, with antiques and paintings in abundance, but the atmosphere is always one of calm and comfort.

El Moli has 8 guestrooms, 7 doubles and a triple, each decorated with antique furniture and featuring heavy carved wooden headboards. All the rooms have windows facing the countryside, providing views of the river, the mountains or the surrounding maize fields and olive groves.

The location is ideal for those looking for a peaceful holiday, perhaps walking in the countryside, relaxing in the gardens, or visiting the nearby coast or mountains. The Costa Brava is only 18 km away, places like Rosas, Ampuriabrava and Llanca, and Figueres, home of the famous Dalì Museum, is on the figurative doorstep.

Restaurant:

Restaurant El Molí contains a series of cosy dining rooms, decorated with furniture and artefacts from Catalan farmhouses. There is even a private dining room, Saló Torrent, for parties of up to 16 people.
Most dishes are based on a traditional cuisine, using vegetables from the hotel’s own garden, fish from the nearby Rosas Bay and locally-raised meat. Game and wild mushrooms are available in season.
In winter, one of the dining rooms has an open range where they cook steaks, chops and ribs before your very eyes. In summer, what could be better than having breakfast in the garden, with the river flowing by?
The restaurant and bar are closed on Wednesdays, and also Tuesday evening except in July and August.
