Our horses are in the meadow behind the estate. We keep buckets of carrots ready — a firm favourite with children and adults alike.

Dining on the estate

Lunch, drinks or dinner in the historic windmill — within walking distance of your suite. Try the famous apple pie made from our own flour, or a tasting board at sunset on the terrace by the Molenkreek.

Good to know: El Molino is regularly booked for private events. Check the opening hours in advance on elmolino.nl — when closed, we offer an alternative in the Ensenada breakfast room.
