Molino de Simón, Benaoján Overview
Molino de Simón is located in Benaoján, Spain. Rated 9.5 out of 10 based on 2 guest reviews.
Molino de Simón is a countryside stay in Benaoján, Spain, set at Huerta Pileta nº 5, Estación de Benaoján, where the pace slows and the views do the talking. This is a strong choice for families and groups who want space to spread out, with family rooms and non-smoking accommodation options. The outdoor setup is a big part of the appeal: you can cool off in the swimming pool, unwind on the terrace, and use the BBQ facilities when the weather is right. Indoors, air conditioning helps keep the house comfortable, and the inclusion of board games and puzzles makes it easier to plan low-key evenings without leaving the property.
Guests rate Molino de Simón 9.5/10 based on two reviews, and the feedback points to a calm, practical base for time together rather than a place that feels purely “tourist.” Travelers who arrive by car tend to appreciate the road-trip friendly setting and the straightforward routines of check-in from 3:00 PM to midnight and check-out at noon.
If you’re planning day trips, the Cueva del Gato is about 10 km away, while Ronda’s Old Town and the Tajo viewpoint sit around 40 km from the property. For dramatic scenery, the Desfiladero de los Gaitanes is roughly 30 km out, a worthwhile outing when you want something more than a short drive. With a tour desk on hand, it’s easier to coordinate what to see next without turning the stay into a logistics exercise.
